AS the steers roamed up and
down the streets. both near the
downtown area and residential
districts, word spread of the
rampage and most pedestrians
took shelter.
The steers, besides endanger-
ing lives, were breaking down
fences, ramming into cars and
blowing through bushes.
One of the steers wandered into
the heart of downtown Phoenix
and frightened window shoppers.

Quick House Action
Expected on 10 Pei.
Federal Pay Rise
Union Leaders Seek
Vote Before Recess
Starts Next Friday
By Joseph Young

Government employe groups
today pressed for House action
next week on Federal pay raise
legislation, following the Sem
ate's approval yesterday of 10
per cent pay raise bills for clas-
sified and postal workers.
More than 1.5 million Federal
workers would benefit from the
Senate's bills, including about
100000 in the Washington area.
Postal employe union leaders
have enlisted the aid Of House
Democratic leaders to schedule
action on the postal pay bill.
The pending measure in the
House is the 7.6 per cent bill
approved by the House Civil
Service Committee. Last week
the measure was brought up
under suspension of the rules in
a move by Chairman Murray
and administration forces to
block any amendments which
would increase the amount.
This move was defeated.
On Calendar Again.
Consequently the bill is once
again on the House calendar.
Mr.. Murray thus far has failed
to ask for a rule from the House
Rules Committee and has not
indicated when he will do so.
An open rule is needed in order
for the bill to come up for House
action, with amendments per-
mitted.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Murray's COM
mittee has not reported the
classified employees pay bill until
it is determined how much of an
increase the House will approve
for postal workers.
Since the House is due to start
its Easter recess next Friday and
won't be back until April 10, post
al employee groups are anxious
for action on their pay bill next
week. They feel that quick han
ding might result in House-Sen-
ate accord on the legislation and
passage by the end of next week.
In that case, classified pay
would be acted on as soon as the
House returned from Easter re-
cess.
Early House Vote Possible
House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack has indicated that the
House would act on postal pay
next week If a rule is forthcom-
ing. Mr.. McCormack's statement
is taken by many Capitol Hill OBJ
servers to mean that pressure is
being put on Mr.. Murray to seek
a rule next week.
Postal employe leaders were
meeting today to decide whether
to press for a 10 per cent in
crease in the House or agree to
an 80 per cent average increase
which they had tentatively
agreed to before the Senate
acted yesterday.
The Senate approved 10 per-
cent figure for classified and
postal workers in face of warn
ngs by Republican leaders that |
President Eisenhower would veto |
such legislation.

Soviet Takes Positive Attitude
Toward Eisenhower Views on
Big 4 PorIeys, BuIgonin Says
FoiIs to Mention
Paris Pucts in
KremIin Comment
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW. Mar. 26.-Premier
Bulganin said today he takes a
positive attitude" toward views
expressed by President Eisen-
hover concerning a Big Four
meeting. He said the Soviet
Union approves the Eisenhower
idea IF there is in view a con-
ference which would contribute
to lessening of tension in inter-
national relations"
I'm this connection" said
Marshal Bulganin, lit must be
pointed out that the Soviet gov
eminent has already proposed to
hold a great power conference
in the near future at which the
question of an Austrian peace
treaty could be settled"
Interview With Tass
The text of the interview be-
tween Marshal Bulganin and an
unnamed Tass correspondent
was read to foreign reporters at
a news conference in the sky
scraper Foreign Ministry.
The interview began with the
correspondent recalling to Mar
shall Bulganin:
President Eisenhower at his
news conference March % said,
concerning a conference of the
heads of governments of the
great powers, that it could be
preceded by a conference of
foreign ministers.
What is the attitude of the
Soviet government toward the
statement by the President of
the United States Of America"
the lass correspondent asked.
Marshal Bulganin's statement
today made no reference to Mr..
Eisenhower's qualification that
meeting could take place only
after ratification of the Paris
agreements. 1t was also consid-
cred noteworthy that the Soviet
Premier made no reference to an
invitation for the Chinese Com
munists to take part. This for
the past five years has been a
Soviet condition for most big
power talks.
Earlier Statements
Marshal Bulganin also made
no reference to earlier Soviet
statements concerning the i'm
possibility of big-power nego-
tiations on the Identification of
Germany after ratification of the
Paris agreements.
In this connection it was in
teresting to note his reference
to a conference on the Austrian
problem. Some diplomats feel
the Soviet Union is bringing
forth suggestions about Austria
in order to separate it distinctly
from the German problem and
to show that there are other
questions beside Germany which
it would be profitable for the
great powers to discuss.

House Group Approves More Funds for
VA Thon President Asked. Poge AZ

Services Administration to tackle
some of the backlog of such re-
pair jobs which already are
estimated at $48 million.
The SIS million recommended
ton was contained in a $50 bill
lion supply bill approved by the
committee today for 10 indie
pendent agencies.
Much More Serious
The committee noted that the
Government finances IS million
square feet of building space. of
which Alb million is in the Dis
trict. The appropriation bill
provides about $3.50 million for
public buildings operations and
earmarks the SIS million for re-
pairs in buildings here.
The committee added that "the
neglected state" of numerous
Government. owned buildings
outside of the District is a much
more serious problem, with a
backlog of $50 million in neces-
sary repairs. 1t approved $25
million for that purpose in the
coming fiscal year. This was
more than twice as much as was
available for the current fiscal
year and IS million more than
the Eisenhower administration
requested.
Other Items Included
The independent Offices appro-
priation bill approved by the
committee and scheduled for
House action next Wednesday
also includes these other items
of particular interest to the
District:
/. An appropriation of $780,
900 to finance a Georgetown
University Hospital project un-
der a grant program authorized
by Congress last year for private
hospital construction.
2. An appropriation Of So
100000 to liquidate part of the
contract authorization for the
Hospital Center in the District.
This would leave approximately
$50 million of the authorization
to be liquidated in future ap-
preparations.
8. An outlay of $4,000 for
the National Capital Housing
Authority for operation Of 112
low-rent housing projects and
80 non-residential units under
the Alley Dwelling Act.
