Clare Boothe Luce
Attracts Full House
BY Isabelle Shelton

A packed house turned out
yesterday at the Willard Hotel
to hear Mrs. Clare Boothe
Luce. United States Ambas-
sador to Italy, address a lunch
con of the Women's National
Press Club.
Leading lights from the
political, diplomatic and social
world crowded into the ball
room to hear and particularly
to see the fragile blond, beau
tiful envoy.
Her speech was q restrained
review Of the Italian political
and economic situation. I'm
sorry. it's going to be q bit on
the dull side, because that's
the way diplomats have to be-"
she warned several in the long
receiving line who lined up to
shake her hand during the
preluncheon cocktail hour.
It wasn't an exciting speech.
No Bright Quips
There were none Of the
bright quips and cracks which
used to stud her speeches dur
ing her political phase, to the
delight Of her q. o. p. sup
porters and the fury Of the
Democrats.
But It represented o tour de
force for the woman diplomat.
who used to rejoice In the title
Of the Republican Party's
glamour girl. Her voice was
low and soft, her diction and
phrasing beautiful. She looked.
as always. young and angelic.
She wore a black ribbed silk
suit with loose box Jacket.
plain white high-necked
blouse. with pearl necklace
and earrings and a large cor
sage Of white orchids. Her
shining blond hair - cut
Italian style-was uncovered.
Italy has made tremendous
political and economic strides,
particularly the latter. in
1854, she said, and els of to o
good start for 1885,"
Italy is "a paradox Of over
all prosperity and widespread
discomfort" she added. Eco
nomic conditions have inn
proved, but not enough to
meet increased wants. "A
standard Of living and a way
Of life which would have been
quite tolerable in Italy so or
even Is years ago is quite
unacceptable to Italians to-
day, just as it would be here"
Encouraging Signs
There are many encourag-
ing signs. she said, but one
hard fact remains: italy does
not today have the capacity to
create a prosperous self-suffi-
cient economy. :. . It needs an
expanding economy in a world
Of freer and expanding trade"
A committee is now at work
drawing up a long range pro-
gram to meet this need. she
added.
Politically, the envoy said,
"Italy this past year has been
tied closer than ever to the
West"
In a question period follow
ing her talk Mrs. Luce said
that q three-year extension Of
the Reciprocal Trade Law

women sat back to back. with
a table separating them.
Senator Neuberger didn't
show UP at all. He explained
later that he was delayed by
a conference. and would have

Higher Military Pay
| Goes in Effect for
Nearly III Million
By the Associated Preis

An average boost Of IL per
cent in basic pay became effee-
tive today for nearly IL million
military officers and enlisted
men.
President Eisenhower signed
into law yesterday the pay bill
designed to keep trained men In
the services rather than leaving
for higher-paid jobs in private
industry.
The raises are designed for ca
reer men, and do not go to en-
listed men with less than two
years service-the normal draft
period--nor to officers with less
than three years service. The
bill does. however. provide bene-
fits for reservists and retired per-
sonnet.
In addition to the Army, Navy.
Air Force and Marine Corps. the
new pay rates apply also to the
u
Coast Guard. Public Health serv-
ice and Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey.
Here are some sample in
creases in monthly base pay:
Privates, from sol to $3.50.
Warrant officers. from $219.42
! to 251.20.
Second lieutenants. from $751;
IL to 1926. 40.
Majors and lieutenant Com
manders, from $400.14 to 1929.
Four star Generals and adj
miraAs. from $963.30 to $l,221 80.
Chairman Russell of the Sem
ate Armed Services Committee.
said it is hoped the pay increase
will boost the rate Of re-enlist-
ments about SO per cent.

ice Rejects Claim
|0fU. 5. That Railways
Owe s. 10 s. Billion
cameramen. Inc. Photo
BY the Associated Press

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission today threw out Govern
ment claims that the railroads
owe it between So billion and So
billion in refunds on World War
II military freight bills.
The commission found that the
Justice Department had no basis
for seeking such refunds. The
railroads commended the Govern
ment's wartime rates were lower
than those quoted for any pri-
vate shipper.
II Cases Involved
The ICC action involved dis
missal Of II war materials rep
arations cases which. considered
together. constituted the biggest
money proceeding ever handled
Fby the commission.
The cases were brought before
ice between June, 1916, and Oc-
tober. 1913, by Tom G.. Clark,
then Attorney General and now
a Supreme Court justice.
The Justice Department con-
tended that because Of the huge
volume OF military freight han
died by the railroads for the
armed forces, the charges should
be reduced to levels very much
lower than those collected.
Terminals Included
Every railroad company in the
Nation was involved in the
claims, which also covered nu-
merous electric lines. terminal
operators and stock yard com-
panies.
] The hearings developed that
! the Governments total payment
to the industry for wartime
! freight handling between 194l
and 1916 amounted to $6.204,-
238. 900.
Railroad witnesses pointed out
that the carriers had already
paid income tax on this amount
during the years involved and
said the industry had been adj
vised by the Internal Revenue
Service that because of the lapse
of time, the railroads could not
seek tax refunds even if they
were required to refund a por-
ton of the income.
