tive bargaining rights for en-
ploye unions, free uniforms for
postal, maintenance and other
employees, revision of the Whitten
rider governing promotions and
appointments, and revisions in
the Federal leave law.
While employe leaders do not
feel that all these things will
be enacted into law this year,
they believe that there is good
chance that a lot of them will be
approved by Congress. !
Although it is recognized that
this Congress is primarily a con-
servative one bent on economy,
employe leaders feel there will
be a more receptive and SYM
pathetic attitude toward employe
problems this year than there
was last year.
And employe leaders note that
Congress in election years has
usually been more generous on
employe legislation than it is on
off-years.
The chances of a Federal pay
raise depend on the stand that
will be taken by the administra-
ton.
Chairmen Carlson and Rees Of
the Senate and House Civil Serv-
ice Committees have promised
that hearings on pay will be held
early this year. However, neither
chairman is expected to sponsor
a pay raise bill until the admin
istration makes its attitude
known.
The Civil. Service Commission
now is making a study of the
Federal pay structure and csc
officials will meet within the next
few weeks with White House
and Budget Bureau officials to
decide on what, if any, recon-
mendations it will make to Con-
greSs on salary.
A few pay raise bills intro
duced last year in Congress are
still pending. but it is expected
that the leadership in the House
and Senate Civil Service Com
mittees will sponros new meas
ures that will reflect the posi-
tion taken by the administra-
tion.
Employe groups are basing
their pay requests on the cost

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. O.
Their hulls deeply gashed by a
nighttime collision at sea. two
freighters made the safety of
San Francisco Bay today and
went into drydock for inspec-
ton and repairs.
They were the Permanente
Silverbow. 7,630-ton bulk dry ce-
ment carrier, and the Colorado,
loaded with general cargo. The
Silverbow, operated by Henry j.
Kaiser interests. was returning
empty from Portland. The Colo
RADIO was en- route to Vancouver.
B. c.
The vessels collided in the
darkness in squally weather
about las miles north of San
Francisco.
The Colorado's bow was Dashed
in Is feet or more and the fore
peak was flooded.
There was a gaping. ragged
hole in the side of the Silver
bow near the stern, from deck
to waterline. Two of her holds
were flooded but bulkheads held
water from other compartments.
She made unusual speed in the
run to San Francisco.

place since october, 1851, when
the last Federal pay raise was
granted.
The only pay raise bill intro
duced in the Senate last year
was sponsored by Senate LANCER,
Republican. of North Dakota,
and provided for an $8OO-a-year
increase. Hearings were not held
on the bill.
In the House, there were sew
eral bills sponsored calling for
pay boosts ranging from $500 to
81 1,000 a year. Also. Representa-
tive st. George, Republican, of
New York. sponsored so-called
escalator pay measure, whereby
Federal salaries would go up or
down depending on fluctuations
in the cost of living. No hearings
were held on any of these bills.
When Congress convenes on
Wednesday to a number Of new
pay raise bills are expected to be
introduced. some of them by
members who sponsored pay
legislation last year. The new
bills will be designed to reflect
more accurately the pay situa-
ton in relation with the present
cost-of- living index.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, is expected
to sponsor a pay raise measure
based on the purchasing power
of Federal salaries as compared
to the situation in 1851.
Unemployment compensation
benefits will also be a major goal
of employe groups. With the
Government engaged in an eco
nomy program. employe leaders
feel that it is more essential
than ever that Federal employees
be given some protection during
any period Of unemployment.

BY The As.oeIotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. IA man
who once climbed tower of the
George Washington Bridge and

Dutch wife could not join him in

The New York Daily Mirror
interceded with the State De-
partment to obtain a visa for
the wife and child after the
bridge episode over the Hudson
River last December 8.
Mr.. Romine climbed the bridge
tower and remained there for
about three hours before so po-
licemen and is civilians could
persuade him to come down. He
said he was downhearted at be-
ing parted from his wife.
Mr.. Romine met the Dutch
girl during his war service and
returned to Holland and mar
ried her last May.
Then he learned she was not
classified as a war bride for quick
admittance to the United States.
He returned to this country
but brooded over both the lack
Of a visa and funds to bring her
here.
His plight attracted widespread
help.
The United States Consulate
in Rotterdam granted a visa to
her. Harold L. Fromkin, presi-
dent Of the Jackson Motor Co.,
Jackson Heights. Queens, gave
81 900 to pay for airplane passage
and clothing.
The Bayer Auto Sales, Inc. in

Budapest old-timers recall the

Dean is Reported
Urging Study 10 Split
China From Moscow
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. q
The Providence Journal will say
tomorrow that Arthur H. Dean.
the chief American negotiator
in Korea, is urging washington
officials to review United States
policy with a view toward split
ting Communist China from the
Soviet Union without military
action.
Frederick w. Collins, chief Of
the Journals Washington bu-
reau. said Mr.. Dean authorized
publication of his views in a
telephone conversation with the
special Ambassador today at his
home in Oyster Bay, N. Y.
(The Providence Journal
advised late Saturday night
that Mr.. Dean afterward said
he did not understand that
the material in the story was
to be attributed directly to
him. Mr.. Collins, who wrote
the story for the Journal.
said that he had a clear inn
preston that attribution was
permitted. The Journal printed
the story with a foreword
pointing out this apparent
misunderstanding and ex-
planning that by the time Mr..
Deans point of view became
known the story had been so
widely distributed as to make
1t impracticable. to attempt any
other method of presentation0
Stresses Two Points.
Mr.. Collins said Mr.. Dean gave
his opinion during discussions
in Washington the past week. He
authorized publication provided
that two points were made clear.
First, Mr.. Dean said, he does
not agree with some American
and British experts on China
that Communism in China is
different from CommuniSm in
Russia. 'I think Communism is
Communism" he said.
Secondly, Mr.. Dean said, II
don't think we ought to recog-
nize Red China at this time"
The United States first must be
sure Red China will live up to
its promises. Mr.. Dean said. and
he doesn't believe America can
be sure now. IL
Mr.. Dean, who HaSSspecial am
baSsador to Korea twas the United
States chief delegate in the Pam
munjom talks preliminary to a
Korean political conference. also
was quoted by the journal as
saying recognition OF, Red China
at this time would not be feas-
ible because Of the effect suci1
action would have in Southeast
Asia. :.
Can't Put Chang on Mainland.
Beyond that. said Mr.. Dean,
II don't mind repeating my
belief that it is In the, elfsh,
interest Of the American people
to put on a new set Of glasses;
and really examine With a.
hard critical stare whether there
is any possibility of putting
Chang Kai-Shek back On the
mainland. If we were. genies
with a bottle we = would ), put
Chang back on The mainland,
but we aren't genies and we
haven't got a bottle.
Il think there is possibility
the. Chinese Communists are
more interested in developing
themselves in China than they
are in international Communism,
If we could use that as a divisive
method of putting a wedge be-
tween the Chinese Communists
and the Soviet Union, I think we
might try it."
