Measure 10 Extend

By Board Of Trade

The washington Board of
Trade favors extension Of the
Trade Agreements Act. but has
not yet taken q stand on amend
ments proposed by President
Eisenhower. the House Ways and
Means Committee has been no.
titled.
The committee holdine hear
ings on the bill to continue the
Presidents authority for another
three years and give wider dis
cretion in lowering of tariffs
heard Samuel Nakasian present
the boards position late yester-
day.
Reasonable Protection.
Mr.. Nakasian, the boards legal
and economic adviser on inter-
national trade and foreign in
vestment, also outlined his per-
sonal views on the measure. He
said he believed that suggested
safeguards in the law offer rea-
sonable protection to American
industries.
1T just doesn't make sense for
the American people to spend
billions of dollars to build up the
economies Of its allies and then
refuse to accept the products of
those economies" he told the
committee. 1T can be danger
Gus, too, as some Of our exporters
are finding out. Our allies must
sell their goods somewhere and
must trade to live."
u. S. Has Lot to Gain.
Urging enactment of the
pending bill in view OF the "stra-
tegic. political and economic po-
sition of the United States in the
free world" Mr.. Nakasian con-
cluded:
"The United States has as

more trade than other countries.
We have the surplus of capital
to invest and a greatly produc-
tive industry and agriculture.
Military considerations dictate
that to protect ourselves we must
protect the outposts of the free
| world.
I'VE have. then, the choice OF
fencing our economy in and
burdening the American people
to subsidize our exports and
carry the major part Of the costs
of free world defense, or Of trad
ing with the free world on a
businesslike basis so that they
can pay for their purchases from
the United States and can pay
their share Of mutual defense
against Soviet imperialism"

2 Former Red Bigwigs Freed
But Gagged in YugosIoyio
ZAP wirspho.o.

Dedijer, like Tito'a close COM
rade in arms of Djilas in the
wartime partisan fighting, sided
with the vice president when the
Communist Party Central Com
mittee called him on the carpet.
Subsequently both men defended
their position in interviews with
foreign correspondents.
These foreign publications
were cited by the state prose-
'cutor during the trial as evi-
dence Djilas and Dedijer had
tried to carry out a widespread
campaign abroad to damage the
position of Tito'S government.
The trial, which began yes
terday morning, was the shortest
major courtroom proceeding in
Yugoslavia's postwar history and
unprecedented in its secrecy.
Instead of full facilities usually
afforded them foreign corre-
spondents were barred from the
courtroom and even the con-
tents of the indictments were
not revealed to them.
Foreign Press Criticized.
The government. which had
taken exception to foreign press
speculation that the criticisms by
Djilas and Dedijer signified a
split in the ruling regime. said
the foreign correspondents could
not be trusted to give a fair
account Of the proceedings.
Shortly after the trial opened
the domestic press and most Of
the spectators also were ex-
cluded from the courtroom. The
state prosecutor said publication
Of the proceedings might harm
Yugoslavia's interests abroad.
Excluded from the court along
with the foreign newsmen was
Djilas' frail, gray-haired mother.

Milovan Djilas and vladimir
Dedijer early today but clamped
a judicial gag on the two critics
of President Tito's regime.
In a 15-hour secret trial end
ing shortly after midnight, a
five-judge court convicted the
two former Red bigwigs of con-
spring against Marshal Tito's
government by planting hostile
propaganda in the foreign press.
They were given suspended SEN
tences, then released on proba-
ton
If they repeat the offenses
during their probationary period
they automatically will be i'm
prisoned. In effect, they must
refrain from criticizing Marshal
Tito's government or. lose their
conditional freedom.
Placed on Probation. !,
Djilas, 43 and one of the gov
ernment's top four men until
his custer a year ago, was put
on probation for three years in
lieu Of an 18-month prison pc
riod.
Dedijer, Tito's 41-year-old Of
fetal biographer and a former
member of Parliament, drew a
two-year probationary term in
stead of six months in prison.
The could have been jailed
for UP to 20 years at hard labor.
Instead they left the little court
room and returned to their
homes.
Their troubles began with ar
ticles Djilas wrote for Borba, the
Yugoslav Communist Party or

ernment policies, called for
wider freedom of political ex-
preston and assailed wives OF

Mr.. Summerfield said the plan
would end the present salary
"monstroSity," which has almost
800 different pay steps.
The plan would set up three
new salary schedules-the main
one, Postal Field Service (PFS).

class Office postmasters.
There would be 20 salary lev

The basic job descriptions of
about 80 per cent of the jobs
would be set by Congress as
part Of the new postal pay law.
The other 10 per cent Of the
jobs, described as mostly mis-
cellaneous types, would be clas-
sified by the Post Once Depart
ment itself and placed in a
salary level of the PFS sched-
ule which is believed to be ap-
propriate.
The proposed legislation would
provide that postal workers be
paid every two weeks instead of
twice q month. Also the depart
ment could pay overtime to en-
ployes in lower level supervisory
positions, who in many cases
now work extra hours without
pay.

Union Leader Sees
rs Million JobIess
In Tariff Program
BY Joseph A. Fox

! The head of an American Fed
Grafton of Labor union charged
today that the Eisenhower trade
program would put rs million
men and women out of work In
this country.
The attack on the admins
tration's program liberalizing
tariffs came from Ossip Walin-
sky Of New York. president Of
the international Handbag. Lug
gage. Belt and Novelty Workers
Union. He addressed session
Of about 200 representatives of
affected industries meeting at
the Washington Hotel.
The House Ways and Means
Committee now is holding hear
Ings ON the Presidents proposal
for q three-year extension Of
the Reciprocal Trade Act with
authority for a new tari cut
and opponents start presenting
their case tomorrow.
He Cites U. S. Figures.
Mr.. Walinsky, the first speak
er at today's protest session, said
his unemployment figure was
based on the State Department
objective for increasing imports
by So billion annually. He said
the idleness he envisioned would
develop If the liberlized program
was in operation for two years.
He also charged that "big
business'--as he named the auto
industry ~ was debating the
move for lower tari to increase
their own business abroad and
he scoffed at the idea that more
trade would combat commu-
nism, insisting that the workers
In his industry in France and
England are Communist.
Other attacks on the program
came from tive longtime con-
gressional foes of free trade,
Representatives Van Zandt. Re-,
publican. Of Pennsylvania. and
Bailey, Democrat, of West Vir-
giuia--two States whose soft
coal production has been hard
hit by oil imports.

Mr.. VanZandt said the Gen.
tral Pennsylvania soft coal in
dustry has lost its entire market
on the Eastern seaboard and
that in Altoona there are 9.100
unemployed.
Mr.. Bailey vigorously attacked
the general agreement on trade

istration wants this country to
subscribe.

.summeriieId Asks
Postage Rate Rise,
5Pcf. Pay Increase
sy the A.sOeistsd Pres,

Postmaster General Summer
field has asked Congress to raise
the price of mailing a letter from
8 to 1 cents ito meet increased
costs: to provide, facilities for
growing mail volume: to improve
service"
For the same reasons. Mr..
Summerfield yesterday called for
a boost in domestic airmail and
second and third class mail rates.
In all. the rate increases would
yield more than S332 million a
year. OF this. the l-cent increase
in the cost of a letter stamp
would account for $237 million.
Linked to Pay Raise.
Mr.. Summerdeld coupled his
bid for higher rates with a pro-
posal to raise the pay of about
500, 900 letter carriers. clerks and
other postal workers by S per
cent. At the same time. he sug-
gested shift of salary schedules
which he said now result in "in-
justices" and prevent the Post
Office Department from paying
employees what they are worth"
The Postmaster General esti-
mated the bill for these salary
increases and adjustments would
come to $l29 million a year.
Counting certain fringe benefits.
this would mount to at least
$170 million a year, the depart
ment said.
The requests went to Congress
in the form Of suggested bills.
Cites Annual Loss.
The Post ONCE Department
said in statement that despite
recent economies and greater
efficiency" it now operates at q
loss of between $500 million and
$400 million a year. 1t was
pointed out that the $237 million
a year anticipated from the pro-
posed Accent letter rate would
''go long way toward eliminate
ing the deficit"
Mr.. Summerfield made his
biggest pitch for the l-cent
boost in the price of a letter
stamp. This would be charged
for the first ounce only. with
anything over that weight re-
naming at 3 cents an ounce.
The Postmaster General re-
called that postage rates for let
ters "are the same as they we're
in 1882" but said postal costs
have almost doubled over that
23-year period. He also noted
that at least rs per cent Of all
letter mail originates in business
and that ''any increase will be
borne mostly by business" He
said the 1-cent increase In the
price of a letter stamp would
cost the average family about 10
cents a month.
Mr.. Summerfield's proposals
also call for these increases in
other classes of mail rates:
Domestic airmail-an increase
from 6 to 7 cents on the first
ounce to bring in another $l4
million a year.
Second class (mostly newspa-
| pers and magazines) An in
crease Of Is per cent a year for
two successive years for an esti-
mated yield of another $8.250.-
900 annually.
Third class advertising mat
ter, circulars and small mer-
chandise packages) --an increase
of about % per cent for an esti-
mated gain of about $73 million
a year. 9
