.Ha!Ieck Opens
Congress Pay
RaiseDebate
increased Duties
And Expenses Cited
In ToIk to House
By Robert K. Wolsh

The House was told today 1t
should meet its perhaps un-
fortunate" responsibility to raise
salaries of members of Congress.
Representative Halleck, Re-
publican, of Indiana opened de-
bate on pay-raise bill by de-
claring that the suggested boosts
for members of Congress. Fed
eral judges. United States at
torneys and some Justice De-
partment officials was necessary
because of increased duties and
expenses.
He said such pay raises also
were justified because Congress,
which has not raised its own
pay since 1916, voted several
percentage pay increases to most
other governmental employees in
recent years.
Democratic and Republican
leaders predicted that the bill
would pass late today with not
more than 100 members voting
against 1t. There was a pos
sibility, however, that a few
amendments might be approved
to trim some of the proposed
increases.
AS cleared by the Rules COM
mittee yesterday for two hours
of general debate today, the bill
cannot be amended by providing
higher pay for any official or any
group OF employees except those
already specified. Unless reversed
by the House--a highly improb-
able development--the "modi-
fed" rule would prevent in
dividual members from tacking
on pay riders affecting, for in
stance, postal workers.
Open to Amendments.
The bill. however, will be open
to amendments that could lift,
lower or delay the salary in
creases.
A move to limit the congress
sional pay raise increase to So, 500
instead of $4,000 was planned
BY Representative Burdick, Re-
publican, of North Dakota. He
also announced that he would
demand a roll call on the bill.
The House bill differs in sew
eral respects from congress
sional and judicial pay bill ap-
proved early this month by the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
Senate sponsors repeatedly are
awaiting House action before
calling UP their bill.
Congress has not voted itself
a basic pay raise since 1916. Sal
aries of Federal judges also have
remained unchanged since that
year.
Members Of Congress now get
$l2.500 a year, plus a $2,500 ex-
pense account and a $4,000 in
come tax deduction because of
living costs in Washington. The
House bill would make it $22,-
500 and retain the $2,500 as well
as the deduction provision. The
Senate bill would set the pay at
$2z.500 but repeal the $500
allowance. The Vice President
and Speaker each would get
$4,000 instead Of $4,000.
Another Difference.
Another major difference Is
that the House bill would in
crease the permissive salary cell
ing for United States attorneys
from the present $4,000 top to
$40, 600, and that of assistant
United States attorneys from
$l2. 900 to $4,000. It also would
UP the Deputy Attorney Gem
erals salary from $l7,500 to $21,-
600, the Solicitor Generals from
$17.500 to $20,500. and that Of
