The White House and State
Department declined comment
yesterday on Soviet Premier Bull
ganin's suggestion to TASK Eisen-
hover and Eden about the date"
Of a heads-of-state meeting.
State Department officials
were inclined to treat Bulganin's
statement as an offhand remark.
They pointed out that the trend
of events is aimed in the direc-
ton of Big Four meeting "at
the summit" late this year or
early the next. However, they
said it appears premature to
talk about dates now.
The United States, Britain,
and France are moving with un-
usual speed toward a foreign
ministers meeting soon with
Russia.
June seems to be the likely
month in which the Big Four
foreign ministers could get to-
gether to sign an Austrian treaty

would be within their rights In
agreeing on rs per cent.
However. the conferees would
only agree on the rs per cent
figure If the postal employe
unions asked that this be done.
Otherwise. they would be obi
gated to vote q bill somewhere
between 80 and 10 per cent.
Consequently. 1t Is up to the
postal employe leaders to decide
If they want Congress to approve
q bill that faces a certain presi-
Dental veto, with virtually no
hope that Congress will over
ride 1t. or If they will agree to
a 7.6 per cent bill that the
President will sign into law.
Postal employee leaders are
meeting tomorrow in a strategy
session to decide what to do.
AS top congressional leaders
see 1t, all will not be lost II the
President vetoes the postal pay
bill and Congress fails to over
ride.
In that event. they say. the
House and Senate leadership
would Immediately bring up the
rs per cent legislation and send
it to the White House for Presi-
dent Eisenhower's signature.
However. the legislators say
that the postal unions could save
everybody a lot of headaches by
agreeing to the 7.6 per cent
figure now and not prolonging
the issue for another month or
two.
CLASSIFIED VIEW CLASH
fed employee leaders are publicly
asking for the same 7.6 per cent
raise for classified employees that
the postal workers are in line
to get.
However, most classified en-
ploye leaders privately say they
will agree to a 6 per cent CLASH
fed pay raise, hoping that per-
haps the White House can be
persuaded to go to 7 per cent.
But If the White House says
6 per cent Is the top figure that
the President will sign. then clas-
sified employee leaders will not
argue.
It is a little difficult for clas-
sified employees to understand
why postal workers should get
a larger raise, but Congress has
followed this course throughout
the years. Since 1945. postal
workers pay has been increased
IA per cent more than has clas-
sifled employees salaries.

get together on a classified and
postal pay raise before Congress
goes home this year and that it
will be retroactive to March /.
There seems little doubt that
Mr.. Eisenhower will veto any pos
tai pay bill in excess Of 7.6 per
cent. But even that wouldn't
block a postal pay boost this year.
congressional leaders feel.
They declare that Congress
would then accede to the admin
istration's wishes and approve a
7.6 per cent bill that the Presi-
dent could sign into law.
As for classified employees.
strong sentiment is growing in
Congress to give them a pay
boost of 6 to z per cent without
making their salary increase
contingent on a postal pay
boost.
SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES
The House Civil Service Com
mittee meets Thursday to ap-
prove a classified pay-raise bill.
The administration is expected
to reiterate its support Of its S
per cent classified pay-raise
proposal. However, the admin
istration is expected to inform
the committee that it would not
object to q per cent increase
if the committee so decides.
AS for postal pay. House.
Senate conferees are expected
to be appointed this week to
meet on the legislation that will
be sent to the White House.
The Senate has approved a
10 per cent-no Redistribution
bill for postal workers and an
average 10 per cent raise for
classified employees. The House
has okayed an 80 per cent pay
Redistribution bill for postal
workers.
Presumably the conferees will
approve a postal pay bill some
where between the Senate's 10
per cent and the Houses 80
per cent.
However, congressional sources
say that a technicality in the
Houses version could allow the
conferees to agree on the 7.6
per cent bill backed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
This is because the Houses
basic raise for postal workers is
6 per cent. The other % per
cent is due to Redistribution.
