That the Senators fear the
issue, rightly or wrongly. was
shown by the fact that in the
final roll call. out of "a up for
reelection this fall, % voted
for the George amendment
and only nine against it.
The eight Republicans who
voted yes may have app .ased
the pro- Bricker forces but they
will still be obliged to explain
why they crossed their popu-
lar President.
The Is Democrats will not
have to explain why they OPP
posed the President and voted
yes. They can II they like
and politicians generally do

their mouths at home. They
can tell the pro- Brickerites
they voted for the vastly
superior George substitute and
talk up Senator Georges con-

amendment people that the
George substitute was COM
paratively harmless and neces-
sary to avert the greater
Bricker evil

What the Democrats stand
to gain by reviving the con-
troverSial Bricker amendment
fight is a mystery.
Before the very Junior Sem
ator from North Carolina, Mr..
Lennon, moved to reconsider
the George substitute, the mi
nority party was completely
OF the political hook created
by the determined attempt to
cut back the Presidents treaty
making powers.
Furthermore. they had left
the Republicans dangling on
it. Neither President Eisen-
hover nor the Republican Sen
ators who broke with him on
this vital issue were in a posi-
ton to alter the picture.
The President had been
saved by II Democrats respon-
sive chiefly to the superb IL
Elimination furnished the basic
constitutional question by
Senator Hennings Of Missouri.
Senator Hennings is classed
as a Democratic liberal but he
was in the best conservative
tradition when he held out
against rewriting the Consti-
tuition on the Senate floor be-
cause public pressure had been
whipped up for change.
The fact that only IA Re-
publicanS stood with their
first President in two decades
was dramatized when Major
ity Leader Knowland left his
leadership seat to cast a per-
sonal ballot in favor Of the

ployes, which would give only
minor pay raises to most Fed
eral workers.
The administrations 500 pay
raise proposal for most postal
workers-and a similar amount
is expected to be proposed fol
classified employes-has pretty
good chance of being liberalized
by Congress to the tune of an
other 500 or so.
But the way things appear
now. the various Government
employee unions have a real job
cut out for them to win more
than a $200-a-year pay increase

and postal employe union lead
ers have not given up hope of
getting a reasonable pay in
crease from Congress this year.
When their turn comes to tes-
tify before the committee next
week. they will present statistics
of their own to justify the pay
increase they seek. Most groups
are advocating $500 publicly, but
privately say they would settle
for $500.
Yesterdays session did not
help the cause of postal en-
ployes very much.
The committee was presented
with Bureau of Labor Statistics
figures showing that:
/. The salaries of postal clerks
and carriers have kept pace with
the rise in living costs since 1889.
Between 1889 and the present,
postal salaries increased "a per
cent, compared to 93.6 per
cent rise in living costs. Incl
dentally, classified employees
salaries have increased about IA
per cent since 1889, according to

ers are generally higher than
those of manufacturing workers
in private industry.

reported that the salaries IF en-

erage of 25 cents an hour since
