Friday session was described as
"tumultuous."
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was
said to have threatened reprisals
against Free Democratic and ALL
German members of his coalition
who decided to vote with the Social
lists against the Saar treaty.
Other parts of the Paris agree
ments, comforting sovereignty on
West Germany and providing for
her rearmament, were not believed
to be in danger. Herr Adenauer
also was confident the Saar vote
would go his way, but by an un-
comfortably slim margin.
If the Saar settlement is not ac-
cepted, the whole Western European
Union complex will be in trouble
again. For Frances lower house
approved the treaties en- bloc. That
means no other country can reJe1t
any part of the WEU without re-
opening the issue in the VIGOROUSLY
indecisive French National Assembly.
Yesterday the Bundestag decided
reluctantly to convene in an unpre-
cented Sunday session to complete
action on the treaties.
Red Sober Rottles
The Soviet Union started out on
a new tack last week in trying to
prevent ratification of the agree
ments. While calling once again for
disarmament. the Kremlin radio set
about brandishing its atomic stock
pile at Western Europe.
This was believed to be the prime
purpose of the Soviet leaders boasts
that they have more atomic and
hydrogen weapons than the United
States. In a broadcast to Italy.
for instance, Moscow Radio said:
What will such a [nuclearl war
mean for Italy? Ten thermonuclear
bombs of the latest type would be
sufficient to destroy the whole Of
Italy"
There are neutralist factions in
Europe who have been thinking
along these same lines for years. In
Germany their numbers are reported
to be increasing.

complaints he could always call the

Friend Sam replied it was up to
the President to see that the Demo-
cratic leaders were fully informed
in advance on presidential messages
cit turned out later messages had
gone up in advance, but had been
mislaid regularly in Majority Leader
McCormack's office).
Democrats Stroteey
On those unfriendly notes, debate
on taxes opened in the House. The
Democrats moved to tack their 500
a-person tax reduction on an ad-
ministration bill to extend corporate
and excise taxes at existing high
levels tSuch an amendment could
not be vetoed without risking loss of
the entire tax measured.
After partisan, name-calling de-
bate, the amendment was accepted
twice by f1ve-vote margins, 1877 to
1872 and 210 to 205. Then the bill
as amended was approved. 242 to
ITS. For votes by area Congress
men, see Page A-28)
As the bill went to the Senate.
both sides felt they had scored some
points. The Democrats were on
record for tax cut and at the
same time they had forced Republic
cans during debate to say that tax
reduction In deficit years was bad
thing Thus it would be harder for
the Republicans to push a 1856 tax
cut.
But the Republicans had put up
such good fight and had won over
enough conservative Democrats that
they were confident they could beat
the amendment in the Senate.

Boost for Congress Hits
Snoe When Senote Asks
Elimination Of Expenses

The American people. speaking
constitutionally through their
elected representatives, were in the
throeS last week of bringing the pay
of Federal legislators more closely
into line with their value to the
Nation. And the public would have
wrapped the job up in short order
but for one snag - the legislators
themselves couldn't agree on how
much they were worth.
Oddly enough. the 435-member
House Of Representatives seemed to
put q higher price on legislative
talent than did the 96-member Sen
ate. To be exact, 81 $50 higher.
This week end, the congressional
pay bill was back In conference with
Senate instructions to delete q
special, tax-free but accountable,
$3.50 expense account tackled on
top of q $22,500 annual pay pro-
vision.
What had happened was this:
The administration had urged
Congress to vote itself higher pay,
and in the bargain raise the salaries
of Federal judges and covey of top
Justice Department officials. A
special commission made study,
based largely on comparisons with
the salaries of industrial and union
nabobs, and came up with figure
of $25, 900 year as the proper legis-
lative pay.
In debate in the two houses, and
later in conference, this was knocked
down to $22,500 plus the afore-
mentioned $1,250-$8,250 above the
present pay Of $12,500 plus $4,000
expenses.
Senots Snog
After the House Senate confer
encs voted approval. the s2s.7 .750
total seemed sure Of passage. But
on Friday, the Senate voted. 62-7,
to order the conference group to
eliminate the 81 $50 expenses.
Though the vast majority Of mem
bers Of both houses stood forsquare
for more money, . few stood up to
have their say either against the bill
or against details in 1t. The classic
example was the statement Of Repre-,
sentative Usher Burdick, Republican,
Of North Dakota, that II good men
would come to Congress at any price,

ington hands of the good old days"
when Harry Truman and Congress
were at each others throats.
The f1are-up of political tempers
stemmed partially from a shift in
emphasis from foreign to domestic
problems. (But even In foreign
affairs there were signs of dishar-
mony. For instance, the chairman
of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, James P. Richards, Democrat,
OF South Carolina, charged that the
administration was intending to
renege on its promise to him that
Quemoy and Matsu Islands would
be defended.)
Politics at the Bottom
Basically, however, last weeks
trouble could be traced to conscious
partisan politicking. 1t simply was
the first week that the Democrats
had chance to go all-out on their
drive to win the 1856 elections.
Democratic strategy apparently
Is this:
. Put the Democratic stamp on
every piece Of Eisenhower legisla-
tion by amending the bills or by
pushing Democratic substitutes.
. Initiate distinctive Democratic
legislation whenever possible.
But go along with the basic
framework Of the Republican legis-
lative program-which, after all, Is
similar to what the Democrats have
been promising.
Last week, the Democrats fought
opely to change the Presidents
highway. school and Government
pay programs. A bit more quietly
they also were laying plans to re-
shape his health and housing bills.
The biggest explosion was set of,
however, when the Democrats came
up with their own tax-reduction
program. It resulted in the years
best round Of interparty name call
Ing.
Democrats hoped that the voters
would look at the bills, listen to the
debate and conclude that only the
Democrats really have the welfare
Of the public at heart.

Shudders as $40 Tax Cut
CIeurs Its First Hurdle

Most politicians feel that one Of
the best ways to get reelected Is to
cut taxes. In fact, their feeling for
reelection frequently has outrun
slightly their feeling for balanced
budget. Hence the national debt.
Last year the budget was unbal-
anced, but since q slight recession
called for increased spending by the
pubIic-and since an election was
pending-the Republican admin
istration saw At to cut taxes by
81 billion.
Earlier this year the President
limited in his economic report to
Congress that taxes in 1956-prob-
ably another deficit year and posi-
lively another election year-might
be cut a bit more.
Last week congressional Demo-
Gratis. led personally by Speaker of
the House Sam Rayburn, tried to
undercut what they believed to be
the G. o. p. political strategy. They
produced their own tax cut plan
and said they would pass 1t this
year.
Republicans Mortified
The Republicans said they were
horrif1ed. President Eisenhower
charged the Democrats with reach
ing some kind Of height In fiscal
irresponsibility" for wanting TO cut
taxes In . deficit year.
Mr.. Rayburn replied by citing the
Republican tax record and de-
manded to know who was really
irresponsible.
To further roll the troubled
waters. the President was asked at
his news conference why liaison
between the White House and the
Speaker Of the House was 80 poor.
The President replied, in effect. that
II his friend Sam Rayburn had any

would set the new salary at $40, 400
"a gain Of 8.33 per cent.
Neither the administration nor
the Democrats would have any good
news for the top super grade"
GS-l8. The legal ceiling OF $14.800
a year for that grade would not
be altered under either plan.
A 10 per cent raise for postal
workers with a $430 minimum
boost at the lower end Of the salary
schedule - also got the Senate
