Pay Raise Aid
Again Pledged
By Eisenhower
BroyhiII Reveals
Promise of New
Bill in January

President Eisenhower today re-
newed his promise to support
legislation providing "a Federal
pay increase at the next session
Of Congress, according to Repre-
sentative Broyhill, Republican, of
Virginia.
Mr.. Broyhill, who was present
when Gen. Eisenhower signed
the latter's bill to authorize con-
struction Of two new Potomac
River bridges, said the President
brought up the matter of pay
legislation.
Bill Vetoed Week Ago.
The President a week ago to-
day vetoed bill to grant a gen.
eral pay raise to Federal workers,
contending it failed to provide
for an increase in revenue to
cover the raise and that it Gig
nores and therefore tends to per-
petuate inequities we must cor
rect" in Federal pay scales.
Mr.. Broyhill said the President
declared that when he gets back
from his Denver (Colo.) vaca-
ton he will go to work on a
new pay bill to be submitted
to the 84th Congress next Janu-
airy.
First, however, the inequities
contained in the bill he vetoed
will have to be eliminated. Mr..
Broyhill quoted the President as
saying.
Large Part Of Constituency.
Presumably the President
raised the issue with Mr.. Broy-
hill because Mr.. Broyhill is in
terested in matters affecting
Federal workers, who make up
a large part of his nearby Vir-
ginia constituency.
President Eisenhower veto
message recalled that he had
asked Congress early this year
for reasonable pay increases and
adjustments in pay scales" not
provided in the veto bill.
Also, he declared, Legislation
for pay increases and classical
ton adjustments related to work
performed is still vital and
urgently needed. The inequities
presently existing in pay scales
must still be corrected. I shall
therefore resubmit to Congress
when it convenes in January the
recommendations previously
made by the administration, to-
gether with such additional rec
concentrations as any change in
conditions then existing may war;

gan consultations in search of a
premier. The name most often

the 41st national encampment of
the WV Ladies Auxiliary.
Sees Appeasement.
The Governor termed the
Geneva settlement of the French
Indo-C China war a "streamlined,
Red-geared appeasement."
1T is compounded of national
compromise and international
despair" he asserted.
President Rhee last night adj
vised some 5000 delegates
gathered in Philadelphia's Con-
vention Hall that the right
course for America is zone of
f1rmness, strength and courage. /"
Then your allies will DEM
onstrate the same qualities, and
the enemy will be afraid to at
tack" he said.
The Korean President said the
United States docs not hide
its fear. when facing the rus
sian bear" and this "leads to
vaccillation and a policy Of yield
ing little here. a little there
and still more some place else. !"
"Fluctuating Policy"
He said this resulted in q
"fluctuating policy" and that the
free nations of the world, which
look to the United States for
leadership. begin to lose con-
f1dence in America and to lose
hope of saving freedom"
THE champion of the free
world should not give millions
one day and withdraw them the
next ). nor should it urge free
nations to fight in one breath
and ask them not to in the
next" he said.
In another memorial address
last night. Francis Cardinal
Spellman, Catholic Archbishop
of New York. declared that
Americas best defense against
communism is faith rather than
the atom or hydrogen bomb.
