said viii be needed handle traffic produced by the coming

This does not kill the bill but
will make it very difficult fol-

nauer has often expressed hope
the bill would become law be-
fore the Bundestag adjourns for
the summer recess in mid-July.
The resolution said the Bund-
esrat agreed that the Paris re-
armament treaties must be put
into effect without delay but
drew attention to these points:
l. The bill dealt with only part
Of the problem. without Clarity
ing the way rearmament as a
whole was to be legalized.
2. The reactivation of German
forces must follow the legal and
democratic principles of the

BY CROSBY S. MOVES

PARIS, June 10.-It Is taken
as foregone conclusion here that
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer will accept the Rus
sian invitation to go to Moscow
and talk things over.
The talks may be delayed sew
eral weeks until Mr.. Adenauer
returns from his scheduled visit
to United States. 1t is possible
the Germans will suggest more
neutral meeting place such as
Geneva or that the Chancellor
might decide to send a repre-
sentative such as Foreign Min
lister Brentano instead of going
himself. But there is no doubt
at all that two-way conversa-
tions between Germany and
Russia on the solution Of the
German problem are in the
works.
Caught in Middle
There is no question either
that the prospect of these talks
is causing considerable anxiety.
Despite a pretense that there
is nothing to worry about and
despite reassuring statements
about Mr.. Adenauer's trust
worthiness as a member of the
Western team. most private spec
ulation about the new Russian
move tends to be on the jittery
side.
The reason has nothing to do
with Mr.. Adenauer's reliability.

Army Recruiting Bill

BONN, Germany. June 10 tP).
The Bundesrat Upper House)
spurned today a bill for recruit
ing volunteers to serve in the
German army. 1t sent the bill
back to the government with a
demand for Qualification of policy
on rearmament legislation and
the legal basis for it.
The action threatened to
wreck the Adenauer cabinets
plan for getting German soldiers
quickly into uniform. The Bund-
esrat declined to take a stand
on the measure because, members
said, it was "unclear on a num-
ber of basic questions" on putting
Germans into uniform.
The action was unanimous, de-
spite the fact the Adenauer gov
has a two-thirds ma
jority of the 38 members.
The 250-word bill provides for
giving the first volunteers for the
German forces the status of civil
servants. The government in
tended it should eventually be
replaced by permanent regula-
tions laying down conditions of
service for future soldiers.
The government aim was to
push through temporary leglsla-
ton to authorize calling the first
10000 volunteers. to begin train
ing this autumn. The perma-
nent legislation consists of some
20 complicated laws and will take
to get through Parlia-

emily was angered by the gov

shortcut normal legislative pro-

Wildcat GIN Strikes Shut
20 Plants, IdIing $4,000
JAW Continues Contract Bargaining
As Threatened Official WuIkout Neurs

DETROIT, June 10 tP.-Gen-
eral Motors Corp. today closed
20 car assembly and body plants,
idling 10000 workers. because Of
strike-caused parts shortages.
National contract bargaining
between GIN and the CIO United
Auto Workers continued. mean
while, with every indication that
the nations largest auto firm in
tended to make its bid during
the day to stave off threatened
strike at midnight Sunday.
1t was learned that GIN had
made no offer to the union as
yet on whether it will go along
with the same contract deal that
the UAW negotiated last Mon
day with the Ford Motor Co.
This called for a modified form
of the guaranteed wage. plus
pay, vacation, holiday and other
concessions estimated by the
UAW to be worth more than 20
cents an hour per worker. UAW
President Walter Reuther said
GINS 325, 900 UAW workers were
ready to strike Sunday night un-
less GIN matched these demands.
wildcat Strikes Occurs
The GIN shutdowns were
caused by earlier wildcat strikes,
in apparent protest against
slowness of the national bargain
ing negotiations, with the walk
outs shutting off parts pouring
into various GIN plants across the
country.
John w. Livingston, UAW vice
president and director of the
unions GIN department, said the
union did not consider the shut
downs a retaliatory action on
the part Of the company. He
said. I'VE realize the parts
shortage game them (GM) no
other choice"
This lack of parts, GIN said,
compelled the company to close
down GIN Chevrolet assembly
and body plants in Detroit, Flint.

tlement being achieved before
the Sunday night strike dead
line. that all workers would be
recalled Monday.
$4,000 Now Out
Mr.. Livingston appeared an
noyed at the wildcat strikers
and was trying to get them all
back to work. The number of
strikers reached a peak of 1000
Wednesday but dropped yester-
day to about $4,000 in IS plants.
Other companies supplying
parts to the GIN plants closed to-
day also were notified to stop
shipping parts and material into
the factories.
The contract negotiations were
recessed last night just before
midnight until this afternoon. It
was believed that GIN then would
make its contract offer bid to
match, or improve upon, the
Ford settlement to give the UAW
time to assess it in advance of
the Sunday night time limit.
Attractive Offer Needed
1t was generally recognized
that GIN would have to come up
with an attractive offer to win
approval of Mr.. Reuther, who
was driving to better the supple
mental employment pay plan at
Foro.
The UAW claimed it had
solved all the GIN wildcat walk
out situations except one-at
the Southgate plant. near Los
Angeles, involving several thou
sand workers. 1t sent special
union emissaries there to get
strikers back to their jobs.
GIN estimated that work STOP
pages had cut its car production
for the week by 10000 cars and
trucks. or roughly one-fifth of
weekly output.
Meantime, it was learned that
one reason for the delay in
GINS submitting an offer con-
tanning the controversial guar
anteed wage plan was that GAe
was seeking legal rulings from
Washington agencies on the tax
exemption status of any guar
anteed pay arrangement, and
whether the Government would
absorb the costs on defense
contracts.

BY DON s. WARREN


District taxpayers today ap-
pealed to the Stennis subcommit-
tee of the Senate to liberalize
the House version of the Dis
tr1ct's 1856 budget. many of them
stressing the necessity of re-
storing the Federal payment to
the full $40 million authorized
in last years Public Works Rev.
enue Act.
One of these was a spokesman
for the Washington Board OF
Trade, A. J. Horn, manager OF
the Research and Tax Depart
ment Of the trade group.
Mr.. Horn made the point that
the $40 million Federal payment
was an integral part of the plan
for financing a 10-year $305
million public works program.
under which District taxes were
increased by about $14 million.
The House in its action on the
District budget for the year be-
ginning July /, voted-hy a
margin of one vote-to reduce
the Federal payment by 81 mil
lion and struck $8.5 million from
the spending program.
Quizzed by Stennis
Argument over the size Of the
Federal share of national capital
costs brought a friendly but
nevertheless blunt question from
Senator Stennis, Democrat, OF
Mississippi, chairman of the APP

charge of the District bill.
Noting that the Board of

asked: What taxes would you
recommend to cover proposed in

ing that the Federal paymen.

more than the SIG million voted
by the HouSe?"
Mr.. Horn replied, that he was
sure the Board of Trade would
go along with the plans of the
District Commissioners ttenta-
tive at this point) for a lowering
of the exemption level under the
Districts personal income tax
and for an increase in the real
estate tax rate.
At one point during the testi-
mony Chairman Stennis ex-
pressed interest in the city's To-
year public works program which
started last year with congress
siopal blessings. The Senator
said he was curious over the

the program going.

Postal Pay Increase Of $50
Approved by Eisenhower
President Greets
New Measure
As Step Forward
By JOSEPH YOUNG

President Eisenhower today
signed into law the bill giving
the country's' 100000 postal
workers an average pay raise
of 8 per cent.
In signing the measure, Mr..
Eisenhower called it "the great
est forward step for our postal
employees in more than a CEN
tury."
The President twice within
the last year had vetoed postal
pay increase legislation.
Mr.. Eisenhower said the new
law establishes the principle Of
equal pay for equal work in the
postal service and will provide
sufficient incentives for employees
to advance in the postal service.
Effective June Is
Postmaster General Summer
field said in a statement the
general increase of 6 per cent
will be made effective for the
payroll period beginning June
I16. The retroactive paycheck
covering the 6 per cent increase
between March l and June l6
will be given to postal workers
on July Is. This will amount to
around $40 million.
The regular salary payment
which would be due most postal
workers on July Is will be de-
layed until July % in order to
provide the pay lag necessary
for conversion to the bi-weekly
pay system authorized by the
new law. The additional average
2 per cent pay increase resulting
from reclaSsification will be re-
flected in the employees pay
checks probably in December.
Mr.. Summerfield said.
The Postmaster General hailed
the new law as being IN the
public interest. He said the pay
increase and incezitiYe. plan will
undoubtedly be reflected in even
better mail service to the Amer
ican people" y
At the same time Mr.. Sum-
merfield said it was "increas-
ingly urgent" to increase postal
revenues. He said the present
postal deficit is accumulating at
"a rate of more than 81 million
IA day and that the cost Of the
new pay bill will accentuate
this.
Presidents Statement
The text of the Presidents
statement in signing the meas
ure follows:
II have today approved the
Postal Field Service Compen-
sation Act of 1855. This act
represents the greatest forward
step for our postal employees in
more than a century.
"The new law will bring about
the elimination of inequities in
the Postal Field Service which

from seeking advancement. The
