Conferees See Quick Accord
On Congressional Pay Raise

Morse pleasantly commented:
when I get to the pearly
gates and they want my
record, I will send them to the
Senator from Illinois. He always
has it."
The Oregon Senator said there
was a time when he thought q
pay boost was in order, but he
had never specified any amount,
and, anyway. never a so per cent
boost. Moreover, Senator Morse
made 1t clear he did not con-
slider consistency any particular
jewel.
Senator Dirksen returned to
the fray, waving more quotes
from the Morse speech. saying
the Oregon Senator then had
said you can't justify a figure
of less than $40. .000." Added the
Illinois Senator: "If that's not
specific, I've never seen a specific
figure"
Senator Morse retorted that
he had never sponsored a bill
calling for such a pay and SEN
ator Dirksen replied by calling on
the Senator in good grace and
high felicity" to overwhelm the
Oregon Senator.
Ellender Proposal.
This the Senate did as they
did a proposal by Senator Ellen
der. Democrat, Of Louisiana, to
trim the suggested raise to
$4,000. BY another voice vote,
the Senate earlier had rejected
an amendment by Senator Case,
Republican. of South Dakota, to
cut the Ellender figure to ST, 500.
Two roll calls defeated pro-
posals to eliminate members of
Congress from the, pay bill and
to make the salary raise contin-
gent on balancing the Federal
budget. The first was defeated
80 to 3, and the second II to IS.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
of Tennessee, who handled the
legislation on the floor. will head
the Senate conferees. Other
members are Senators Kilgore
Of West Virginia and Eastland

Senators Dirksen and Watkins,

Pope BIesses Throng
From Vatican Window
BY the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY, Feb. "a
Pope Plus XII appeared at his
Vatican apartment window to-
day to bless some 1000 people
who cheered him in st. Peters
Square. They included tourists
and pilgrims from a half dozen
countries.
1t was the second time since
his illness in December that the

ago.
The Pontiff has not yet re-
newed general audiences for

proposal lacked courage to put
it in a separate bill.
At the Capitol an immediate
counter-blast came from Speaker
Rayburn. He suggested that it
was the Republicans and not the
Democrats who have reached the
"heights of financial irrespon-
sibility"
when they didn't give the
little folks anything last year
Tin the 1854 tax revision law
and gave the dividend folks
theirs. that was responsibility"
he queried with broad note Of
sarcasm. %5
He noted that the big tax cuts
claimed by the Republicans dur
ing the past two years occurred
when the Federal budget was
much deeper in the red than it
now is. He observed also that
the Democratic plan for the $40
cut would not take effect until
next January and would reduce
Federal revenues by only $815
million during the fiscal year
which ends June 80. 1856.
1T all depends on whose bull
gets hooked" the Speaker re-
marked.
All Virginia Democrats in the
House - except Representative
Jennings-lined up in their
caucus against the proposed cut.
The seven, Representatives
Smith, Gary. Harrison, Hardy.
Abbitt, Robson and Tuck, issued
a joint statement expressing
their opposition.
I'VE voted against the Repub-
lican tax reduction bill last
year." the statement said. "be-

responsibility in view of our
continuing deficit spending and
mounting Federal debt.
The same situation now
exists and we will vote against
the present proposal for tax
reduction for the same reason"

Nixon Feels Purpose
OF Tour Is Achieved
By Figueres Pledge
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

PANAMA, Feb. 24.-Vice Presi-
dent Nixon is in Panama today
after achieving what he called
one Of the major objectives of
his Caribbean good will tour.
This was the promise of peace
he got from the Presidents Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The two Central American
countries have been quarreling
for more than a year. Last
month an armed revolt broke
out in Costa Rica which was put
down only after intervention by
the Organization of American
States.
Figueres' Charge.
President Jose Figueres of
Costa Rica charged the uprising
was supported by his foe Of long
standing-Nicaraguan President
Anastasio Somoza. This was
denied by the latter. who in turn
accused Mr.. Figueres of trying
to have him assassinated last
year. Mr.. Figueres denied this.
Yesterday at the San Jose Air
port where he bade Mr.. Nixon
farewell, Mr.. Figueres told news
men in the presence Of the Vice
President and Henry Holland,
Assistant United States Secre-
tary Of State:
II certainly can be counted on
to cooperate" in Mr.. Nixon's ef-
forts to reduce tensions between
the two countries. Il am willing
to go more than half way" in
responding to Mr.. Somoza's
promises to ease the friction.

beamed
Arias Comments.
After his arrival here Mr..
Nixon called on Panama's Presi-
dent Ricardo Arias Espinosa. He
also placed a wreath on the grave
of President Jose Antonio Remon,
who was assassinated January 2.
and called on Mr.. Remon's
widow. ..
President Arias told a news
conference that Mr.. Nixons ef-
forts to improve relations be-
tween President Somoza and
Figueres 'in itself would justify
fully Mr.. Nixon's present trip"

Royburn's Trouble Diagnosed:
Presidents Texts Jettisoned

The case of the Missing Mes
sages was solved today with the
indictment of a Democratic
wastebasket as the villain.
The case bewildered President
Eisenhower, ir1itated House
Speaker Rayburn and stirred
House Majority Leader McCor-
mack to a mildly indignant
speech on the House floor before
it was frankly dubbed much ado
about nothing" by a member of
Mr.. McCormack's Office staff.
1t all began with muttered
complaints by Speaker Rayburn
that he rarely knew anything
about presidential messages to
Congress until they were read
on the House floor.
The White House insisted that
copies Of the Presidents mes
sages are sent regularly to Mr..
McCormack's Office for distribu-
ton to Mr.. Rayburn and other
Democrats well in advance of
the official delivery.
Had To Get G. O.. p. Copies.
Mr.. Mccormack countered
that he had to get advance copies
from Republican leaders, If he
got any at all. And he had a lot
to say in speech to the House
yesterday afternoon, in head
shaking solemnity. about the
responsibility of the White House
to keep the majority leadership
in the House informed about
what is coming from the White
House"
AS the mystery rapidly boiled
into a serious rift between the
White House and the House
Democratic leaders, a reporter
found the solution in Mr.. Nc
Cormack's Office wastebasket.
A member Of that Office staff,
who asked not to be quoted by
name, said sure, the White
House chauffeur usually drops on
a table by the door a bundle of
copies of presidential messages
before their formal reading in
the House.
Gust Thrown Away"
But we had no instructions
about what to do with them"
he said, land SO just left them
on the table. After a couple of
days they were thrown away"
He added that I'VE naturally
assumed they were here Just
for ourselves and that other
copies were sent to the Speakers
office"
Also naturally, he said, after
all the much ado about moth
ing, in the future they will
be sent upstairs"-to the House
t1oor-as soon as they arrive.
James c. Hagerty, White
House press secretary, said the
for handling ad-
vance copies of presidential mes
sages was worked out with
Democratic and Republican
leaders of both houses at Mr..
Eisenhower's first meeting with
them before the present session
Of Congress began.
$50 Copies Delivered.
1t was agreed, he said. that
$50 copies of presidential mes
sages should be sent to Mr.. Nc
Cormack's Office as soon as they
were mimeographed-usually a
few hours before their formal
delivery on the House f1oor-for
distribution by Mr.. Rayburn and
other House Democrats.
Similar quantities, Mr.. Hag-
erty said. we're sent to the House
Republican leader and Senate
Democratic and Republican
leaders.
Mr.. Hagerty laughed without |
comment today at the indica-
lions somebody had forgot to
explain the arrangement to Mr.. |
McCormack's staff. He said the
White House would be happy
TO honor" any request for chang |
ng the delivery system.

he was told about Mr.. Rayburn'
dissatisfaction with what a re-
porter termed the channel o
communications" with the Whit
! House, and Mr.. Eisenhowe
didn't seem to believe it.
He told one questioner askini
about his relations with the Dem
ocratic- c-controlled Congress tina
on a personal basis his meeting!
with the Democratic leaders hav.
been completely satisfactory
and on the most friendly ant
profitable basis possible"
Heated Reaction.
Mr.. Eisenhower reacted heat.
edly to another question about
alleged lack of a channel oi
communications" between his
Office and Mr.. Rayburn.
The questioner quoted Mr.
Rayburn as saying every time
there is a message from the Pres.
ident coming to the Congress
that the press gets it in advance
but he doesn't hear it until II
is on the floor"
Mr.. Eisenhower snapped out
that he doubted that "the
Speaker has to bring to me any
complaints about my Office
through a roundabout course of
communication"
He added that he and Mr..
Rayburn have been personal
friends for years." and he and
other Democratic leaders have
been invited Ito bring to me any
thing by reaching for a telephone
and calling me up"
$50 I cannot believe" the
President said. ''that he is dis
appointed or feels any sense Of
Illustration about any lack OF
communication"
Curt Answer.
When the questioner, Sarah
McClendon of the Ell Paso Times,
started another query on the
subject. Mr.. Eisenhower cut her
of with the curt remark:
THAT will be all have to
comment on that"
In the midst of a discussion
on the House floor yesterday
afternoon about the procedure,
however, Speaker Rayburn in
terrupted to say he understood
there was a message from the
President waiting at the House
door. The Speaker added that
he had no information about its
contents.
The message was a brief one
transmitting the report of the
National Capital Housing Au-
thority for the fiscal year, end
ing last June 80.
Rayburn's Stand.
Other than to say he has no
intention of picking up the tele-
phone and calling the White
House to find out what's 60
ing on, Mr.. Rayburn had no
comment on the Presidents re-
marks about getting advance
knowledge of Presidential mes
sages. But, Mr.. Mccormack took
cognizanoe of the Presidents re-
marks in a brief House speech.
He said he doesn't think it is
proper for the Majority Leader
to have to go to the Minority
Leader to find out what Presi-
Dental messages are in the Of
flng. 1t is the responsibility of
the majority, he said, to map out
the House program and the
majority leadership should be
advised of what is coming from
the White House.
The Speaker of'the House, Mr..
Mccormack said, should not have
to telephone the White House to
find out what is going on. The
President should keep leaders of
both political parties informed,
he added.
Representative Halleck, Re-
publican, of Indiana, replied that
the President told Congress last
January what messages would be
TO have to go to the Minority

would be sent. That timetable,

than last years record more than

Last year, for the first time,
both the north and south stands

tice will be followed this year,
with no reserved seats, he said.
"For this reason, we urged
worshippers to come early" DR..

Starting at $50 am, the pa
geant will be completed in SUI
