Qc) an hour wage increase for
about one million UAW-CIO mem
bers covered by escalator pro-
visions. But this increase merely
enables these workers to keep up
with mounting living costs and
therefore will not represent real
increase in purchasing power.
At the same time the mounting
cost of living will mean shrunken
savings and wage cut for millions
of other American workers who
have no escalator clause and those
on pensions and other fixed in
comes will find their dollars will
not buy quite as much as they did.

Maryland Wins 0. K.
On Illegally Obtained
Gambling Evidence
Supreme Court Upholds
Right to Let ; Counties
Use 1t in Court, ~
By Robert K. Walsh

The Supreme Court today up
held Maryland's right to allow
three counties adjoining the Dis
trict. Baltimore and the Eastern
Shore to use illegally obtained
gambling evidence in State
courts.
The IL opinion written by
Justice Burton, with Justice
Douglas dissenting and Justice
Reed not participating. declared
that the Maryland Legislature
had constitutional authority in
1851 to enact a special amend
ment to help the District as we'll
as the Baltimore Annapolis and
the Eastern Shore resort areas
clean out widespread gambling
activity.
Whatever may be our view as
to the desirability of the classi-
ficationS (between counties of
the State), we conclude that the
1851 amendment is within the
liberal legislative license allowed
a State in prescribing rules Of
practice" Justice Burton stated.
The decision confirmed the
conviction of Julis Salisbury
of Baltimore on bookmaking
charges. He was sentenced to
six months in jail and fined
$1,000

usually brief session the Supreme
Court split 4-to-4 in upholding

partmept to deport him.
The case was argued before
the high court only last week.
An unsigned ruling stated that
an equally divided court upheld
the decision Of the United States
Court Of Appeals for the District
of Columbia.
Rubinstein, a wealthy Russian
born financier. was sentenced to
two years in prison in 1947 for
draft lodging. In 1852 the Gov
ernment ordered his deportation,
mainly on the basis of that con-
viction. Rubinstein contested
legality of the deportation move.
which is still pending in the
courts. Meanwhile. several
months ago, the appeals court
here ruled that he should remain

Omnibus Bill Offers
More Fringe Benefits
For u. 5. Employees '
Overtime and Holiday
Poy Increases Included
In Carlson Measure
By Joseph YOUNG.


A wide-reaching omnibus bill
to liberalize the fringe" bene-
fits Of Government employees was
introduced today by Chairman
Carlson, of the Senate Civil
Service Committee.
The bill would increase over
time benefits, extend longevity
pay increases. increase the
number of Federal "super jobs. .
repeal the Whitten rider, which
curbs permanent promotions and
appointments. liberalize the en-
ploye's incentive awards pro-
gram. and provide free uniforms
to employees whose work requires
the wearing of such garb.
Also. the bill would eliminate
the CPC schedule (crafts. pro-
tective and custodial workers.
and place them under a wage
board setup. In most cases
this would mean pay raise for
these employees.
Under Senator Carlson's bill,
the present time and one-half
overtime payment on the first
$2.980 of a Federal employees
salary would be increased to
$3.50, the top salary step of
grade GS-9. This would mean a
straight time and one-half pay
ment for overtime work for en-
ployes in GS-9 and below, and
time and one-half on the first
$3.50 in salary of employees in
OSLO and above.
Holiday Pay Increased.
Also, employees would bet two
and one-half days pay for holi-
day work instead of the present
double time.
Also, provision is made for
overtime payments for FBI
agents and other Federal en-
ployes who have irregular tours
OF duty which require lot of
overtime work.
The bill increases the present
400 GS-l6 to -18 supergrade jobs
$4,000 to $14.80O to 700.
In addition, the measure ex-
tends the right to longevity pay
increases to employees in grades
GS-11 ($5,94O through GS-l5
$ll l.8OO. At present employees in
grades through OSLO are en-
titled to longevity increases after
serving at the top of their grade
for three years.
Senator CarlSon'S overtime
payment provision would not ap-
ply to employees in grades GS-1 16
and above.
Would Repeal Whitten Rider.
The controversial Whitten
rider would be repealed by the
bill, which would pave the way
for permanent status appoint
mentS for many of the Govern
ment's temporary indefinite en-
ployes. With the exception of
the Post Office Department, no
permanent appointments have
been made in Government since
the enactment of the Whitten
rider in September, 1850
The measure also authorizes
the Civil Service Commission to
set UP a comprehensive employe
incentive awards program.
whereby outstanding perform
ance would be awarded with lib
eral cash payments and promo
tionS.
A maximum allowance of S100
would be provided for postal
workers and other employees

Kean Offers Tax Plan
Cutting Corporation
Rate 10 5O% in IS
House Member Urges
Keeping 81 Pct. Figure
Through This Year
BY the Assoeioted Press

Representative Kean, Republi-
can. Of New Jersey. today pro-
posed compromise of sharp diff
ferences over corporation income
tax rates which now divide key
House tax writer's and the Eisen-
hover administration.
Significant as one of the first
public moves in this direction,
Mr.. Kean's proposal would:
/. Continue the present So per
cent corporate income tax rate
through 1854.
2. Lower it to so per cent ef-
fective next January /.
President Eisenhower has asked
Congress to keep corporate taxes
where they are for another year.
But a number of G. 0. P. tax
writer's on Capitol Hill, and some
Democrats, favor letting it drop
to ~ per cent as scheduled
April /.
Fav0rS Delay to 1855.
There have been suggestions
that an April / compromise Of
so per cent might be reached. Mr..
Kean. a member of the tax-writ-
ing Ways and Means Committee,
adopted that figure but said he
would urge that it not be put in
effect until the start of 1855.
Gen. Eisenhower. in his state
of-the- Union message Thursday.
asked Congress to cancel not
only the corporation tax cut due
April / but also scheduled reduc-
tions in excise taxes.
Representative Daniel A. Reed,
Republican, of New York, chair
man of the Ways and Means
Committee and a champion of
tax reductions. is expected to
oppose strenuously any such
course in Federal tax policy. OPP
position has been voiced by other
senior committee Republicans.
Would Await Better Conditions.
Mr.. Kean said he did not favor
"a corporation tax reduction to
the pre-Korea rate of AT per
cent until "the budget situation
improves.
"But SO far as am concerned, +"
he said. Il would keep the SO per
cent rate this year. Then as Of
Jan. /, 1855, I would permit it to
drop to so per cent. This will
give the administration the ben
eft Of the full income tax rate
for the 1854 calendar year."
Mr.. Kean estimated the loss
Of revenue to the Government
by lowering the rate from So to
so per cent for the last half of
the 1885 fiscal year starting July
lat around $500 million.
There were indications that
Mr.. Kean's compromise proposal
might fare well in the Ways and
Means Committee. Key commit
tee members, howeverd. have
stated they do not look for a
renewal Of the fighting which
flared last year between Mr.. Reed
and the administration.
