Besides the picked $4,000 who

preparedness for evacuation by
piling out of buildings all over
the area.
Transportation Checked
They simply went to their

In about IS minutes the work

The exodus of Government

The retroactive provision would
mean a lump sum payment of

Seeks Amendment Bar
Chairman Murray favor
bringing the bill up for House
action next week under suspen-
sion Of the rules. This would
preclude any amendments on the
House floor to increase the
amount to 8 per cent.
Representative Moss. Demo-
crat, of California, said he is
considering asking that the bill
be brought up under regular pro-
|cedure in order that the 8 per
cent amendment could be
offered.
The House leadership is ex-
|pected to decide within the next
few davs whether to bring the
bill UP under suspension Of rules
or whether to bring it UP under
regular procedures.
May Go Higher
The committees action yes
terday assured classified en-
ployes Of at least a 7.5lper cent
raise. And there was q possi-
bility this increase might 60 to
'8 per cent in House Senate con-
ference, since the Senate already
has approved q 10 per cent clas-
sified pay raise.
The House committees meas
ure would give all classified ern-
ployes q Nat rs per cent pay
raise. Legislative and Judicial
employees. foreign service ofiicers
and District government classi-
fled employees would also get
the rs per cent boost.
The measure would cost $3.2
million a year.
No Veto Seen
Meanwhile, top Senate Re-
publican leaders predicted Pres
ident Eisenhower would sign the
rs per cent classified bill into
law. t
Chairman Bridges Of the Sem
ate Republican Policy Commit
tee said he feels the President
would approve the measure.
Similar views were expressed
by Senate Republican Leader
Knowland.
The House committee ap-
proved the rs per cent measure
by a 16-to-6 vote, with the six
dissenters holding out for an 8
per cent increase. Significantly,
Chairman Murray and Repre-
sentative Rees, Republican, of
Kansas, the groups ranking
minority member, voted for the
rs per cent measure.
This means that Mr.. Murray
and Mr.. Rees will lose no time
in asking for a rule on the bill
so 1t can come up next week for
House action.

Hes no superman. He's got

That's the way England's Don
Cockell sized up his coming title

Francisco May 16.
The pudgy. 217-pound British
heavyweight champion arrived
yesterday on the Queen Mary,
was the guest of honor at a
press party at a downtown
restaurant, and then departed
for San Francisco. where he is
due Friday.
"Marciano is a great cham
pion and he behaves like a
champion" said the hog farmer
from Horam, Sussex. IF I should
win. I only hope I can conduct
myself like he does.
Many people seem to have the
idea that Marciano is crude and
rough, but I don't see it. He is a
scientific fighter. He never
throws two punches in the same
place. He places his punches
correctly and places his weight
behind his blows"
Cockellhad met-and admired
Rocky at the signing ceremony

seen the Brockton blaster in q live
fight but said he has carefully
scanned the movies Of Marciano's

Could be that the regular
opening day Of major league
baseball set the pattern for this
season. The Braves and Indians
were of and winning and the
Giants, Dodgers and Yankees
couldn't do a thing about it.
The preseason popularity
polls picked Milwaukee to win
the National League flag, with
the world champion Giants and
the Dodgers somewhere behind.
Cleveland was picked to repeat

out the Yanks.
Milwaukee and Cleveland
made hay yesterday while the
other contenders were stopped
by rain. The Braves uncovered
Rookie Chuck Tanner, who
swatted a first-pitch. pinch home
run to spark a rally that brought
a AZ victory against Cincinnati.
And Cleveland, mixing power
with its pitching. knocked of
the White Sox, a dark horse
threat, 81.
The Cubs won their second
game, taking enormous liberties
with st. Louis pitching to beat
the Cardinals, 14-4. in the only
other National League game
played.
AS Break in Right
In the American, the Kansas
City Athletics broke into their
new surroundings with a 6-2
victory over Detroit. and the Red
Sox gave the Orioles their second
setback, I'll.
Tanner, a 25-year-old prospect
up from Atlanta, carried on the
Braves rookie-a-spring pro-
gram. Manager Charley Grimm,
who sprung loose Billy Bruton in
'53 and Hank Aaron in "a.
tapped Tanner to bat for Warren

81, in the eighth. The pinch

Kluszewski led the majors with
