We do believe, however, that if the
village officials of Bluffton prefer to
sell to lower bidder who offers
higher rates we viii not resist them.
Nor do we now propose to subject
the people of Bluffton to the results
of long and probably expensive court
costs although our attorneys tell US
that our case could be won by going
to court.
We regret very much the action of
the Bluffton Board of Public Affairs
and we feel exceedingly sorry for the
people of Button"
With Bluffton citizens making the
suggestion of a taxpayers suit, the

Mitchell Urges State Repeal
Of Acts OutIowing Union Shop
Secretary Surprises Clio Convention
By Attack on 'Right-to-Work' Statutes

Mr.. Mitchell, whose speech
also conveyed warm personal
greetings" to the CLIO from Pres
ident Eisenhower, not only ex-
pressed opposition to the right
to-work" laws, but practically
invited their repeal by recon-
mending that they be further
considered" by States.
"They will find that these laws
do more harm than good" the
Secretary said. In the first
place, these 'right-to-work' laws
dc not create any jobs at all
In the second place. they result
In undesirable and unnecessary
limitations upon the freedom of
working men and women and
their employers to bargain COL
lectively.
Thirdly, they restrict union
security and thereby undermine
the basic strength of labor organ
izations. I oppose such laws
categorically."
The "right-to-work" laws are
now in effect in Arizona, Arkan-
sas, Alabama. Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Nevada, Nebraska, Tennessee,

Labor unions are as much OF

U. 5. Pay Raise
In Sis Seen
!.
.AsCertainty
7 to 8 Pct. Expected;
Retrooetivity Still
Question at Issue
By Joseph Youno

A Federal pay raise for CLASH
fled and postal workers appears
virtually certain next year.
The only question now ap-
pears to be the amount Of the
increase and whether it will be
retroactive.
All of the Democratic high
command who will control the
oath Congress starting in jan
uary have pledged their support
Of a pay boost.
Chairman-elect Johnston of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
has announced he will sponsor a
10 per cent increase for CLASH
fed and postal workers with a
$400 minimum guarantee. Chair
man-elect Murray of the House
Civil Service Committee has an
nounced he favors a 5 per cent
raise, with no minimum guar
antee.
Representative Rayburn of
Texas, who will be Speaker of
the House, and Senator johnson
of Texas, who will be Senate
majority leader, have pledged
support of a reasonable pay
raise but have not named a
specific amount.
Z to s Per Cent Expected.
The best guess at the moment
is that the pay raise will range
between 7 to 8 per cent, with
a retroactive clause to January
/, 1855.
Meanwhile, the administration
is reported leaning toward a 5
per cent average salary increase
for classified and postal workers.
"A little cabinet" subcommit-
tee on pay, headed by Civil Serv-
ice Commission Chairman Philip
Young, has recommended such
an increase to the White House.
The plan would provide a
minimum per cent increase for
classified employees and Slight
er higher raise for those in the
upper grades. Postal workers
would get a per cent minimum
boost, plus a general reclassifi-
cation of salaries.
April or May Action Seen.
Democratic leaders who will
head the new Congress say that
Congress will approve a more
generous raise than the admin
istration has in mind.
Final congressional action on
Federal pay raise legislation
probably won't occur until April
or May, although early hearings
are scheduled by both the House
and Senate Civil Service Com
mittees. In fact, the Senate
group probably will report a bill
without hearings.
So long as the legislation con-
tains a retroactive clause. the
final date of congressional en-
actment won't be too important.
And should President Eisen-
hover veto the bill again, DEM
ocrats are confident that they

Secretary of State Dulles said
today the chances of shooting
war have lessened.
This fact. Mr.. Dulles told a

struggle between Communist
despotism and the free nations

Informal Talks Desirable.
The secretary apparently took
encouragement from United

Bohlen's November 7 conversa-
ton with Soviet Premier Malen-

occasion, at a party celebrating
the Communist revolution in
Russia, to express a desire for

District employees will get the
same holiday schedule granted

sioners announced today.
The decision will give them
all day off December "a and a

President Eisenhower's execu-

Both holidays are on Saturday
this year.
Before the Commissioners
made their decision Schuyler
Lowe, District director of gen.

that it would cost $50, 900 to per-

He gave that figure to cover pay

Is WindfaII' Men
Cleared 10 Seek New
Mortgages From FLA
Agency Won't Release
Names, Says It's
Not Our Job

About Is builders who were
listed as gaining "windfall prof
it's under Federal Housing Ad-
ministration mortgage insurance
have been cleared to seek new
mortgage insurance from the
agency.
THA officials refused today to
release the list of cleared names
to the press because otis not
our job to give notoriety to these
people"
The cleared individuals were
among the 308 persons or cor
porations listed as collecting
"windfalls" by William F. Nc
Kenna, who investigated the
housing scandals for the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency,
of which FILA is q part.
Bruce Zeiser Of the FILA gen.
eral counsel's Office, who has
been handling the clearances,
refused to give the names of
those cleared because some of
them may not have known
their applications were being
held up" Persons other than
those on the McKenna list were
placed under suspension as far
as processing their applications
for mortgage insurance was con-
cerned, he said.
Clearance for new applications
from the alleged windfall makers
does not mean that the Gov
eminent in any way waived any
rights to recovery or admins
trative action" against them on
earlier profits, he emphasized.
The rs names have been sent
to the State FILA directors to
be stricken from the earlier list
of those whose applications
would not be processed.
