Food Handling Has Priority
Mr.. Hart declined to say

that since March the greatest
priority has gone to food-hand-

those negotiations were plans to

slow down modernization of the

Mr.. Eisenhower did not attend

Of information between peoples

as an essential step in any plan
for curbing atomic tests.
The Senator said the Russian
suggestion that such tests be

carefully. He said the United

for informing the Russian people
about the facts. In the long run,
there is no other truly adequate
safeguard against violations"
Rejects Dulles Proposal
Senator johnson turned a cold
shoulder yesterday to suggestion
from Secretary of State Dulles
that the Senate designate several
OF its members to act as advisers
at the current disarmament talks
in London.
I'm my opinion" Senator
johnson said. lit is never a good
idea for the Legislative Branch to
encroach on the prerogatives of
the Executive Branch or visa
versa"
The Democratic leader plans
to discuss the matter with mem
bers of the Foreign Relations
Committee. But he is understood
to feel that Senators should not
be asked to leave the Senate at
this stage of the congressional
session. He also believes that if

CSC Requested
To Delay Raises
For Top Levels
Increase Petition
By Navy Did Not
Have Wilson Okuy
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The Defense Department has
asked the Civil Service Commits
sion to postpone action on the
granting of pay raises to 10000
Government scientists. engineers
and technicians. The Star
learned yesterday.
The departments action came
as a surprise to the csc, which
under the law has the authority
to increase pay in hard-to-fill
Federal jobs such as scientists
engineers and technicians.
Recently the Navy Department
had asked the csc to authorize
the top pay-rate of the grade for
its employees in these categories
in grades IL through II.
CSC approval of Nays request
also would have benefited similar
employees in the Army and Air
Force and the rest of the Gov
ernmert's agencies. 1t was taken
for granted that the Defense De-
partment Endorsed the request.
Not Approved by Wilson
But at a meeting held by the
csc several days ago to deter.
mine whether the salary increase
request was justified. Defense
Department officials said the
Navy request did not have official
sanction from the Secretary OF
Defense.
Defense officials said that
budgetary considerations caused
postponement Of any action BY
the csc until the Defense De-
partment determined whether Il
could afford the pay increases
Defense has about $4,000 Of the
10000 employees involved.
The action by the House in
heavily trimming DefenSe's 1855
appropriations request might
make it impossible for the de-
partment to put the proposed
pay increases into effect even
if granted, the csc was told.
1t was indicated that Defense
wanted to see If the Senate
would restore some Of the funds
cut by the House before deciding
to ask for the pay raises.
Navy Officials Disturbed
Navy officials repeatedly are
disturbed over the turn of events
The Navy apparently thought il
had Defense's approval in max
ing the pay raise request.
Navy as we'll as the National
Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics and the National Bureau
of Standards asked the csc To
1authorize top-of-the grade SAL
aries In grades IL to II because
of their increasing inability to
attract and retain key employees
in scientific. engineering and
technical jobs.
They cited the Cordiner Com
mittee's report which showed

world war.
His personal letter, written in
heart-to-heart terms, was de.

livered at the Kremlin Friday
night and made public today.
The British leader said in 1t
the worlds most urgent need is
for disarmament and even some
measure of agreement" would
enable the worlds main prob
lens, such as German unifica-
ton. to be settled.
The Soviet leadership ap.
peared to have stolen a diplo.
matte march on Mr.. Macmillan.
An hour or two before his letter
arrived they offered almost their
biggest concession to date in the
East-West search for a first
stage disarmament pact. The
Russians gave way to long time
Western demands by announcing
willingness to admit interna-
tional squads Of inspectors into
the Soviet Union to supervise q
worldwide ban on nuclear wea-
pom tests.
Inspection Provided
Russia envisaged an accord
with the United States and Brit
ain banning nuclear tests for
two or three years. United Ma
lions inspectors equipped with
scientific gear would set up con-
troll posts in the United States,
Britain. the Pacific area as well
as in Russia to. insure fair play.
The proposal had the effect Of
outdating part of Mr.. Macmil-
lan's letter. He had urged
Marshal Bulganin to accept an
older. yet leSs-far- preaching Brit
ish plan for limiting-not BAN
ning-tests.
American, British, French, Ca
madam diplomats - Western
members Of the U. N. Disarma-
ment Subcommittee-met Satur-
day to consider the implications
of Russia's move. They are now
expected to insist it should be
coupled with a controlled ban on
nuclear weapon production.
The politics behind Russia's
move seem clear enough. Soviet
Delegate Valerian Zorin, APP
parently had deducted from
private talks with Harold E.
Stassen of the United States
that British-American thinking
is not altogether in line about
hating tests.
Question Brought to Head
Britain has set of two hy-
drogen bombs to date. The
Americans and Soviets have
exploded many more. They pre-
sumably have reached the point
when they can stop testing.
whereas Britain still lags be-
hind. AS a result the whole
question seems to have come to
a head.
In his letter. Mr.. Macmillan
spelled out other objections to
disarmament policies.
he said, cannot accept
extensive reductions in Western
defenSes without parallel
settlements" of political issues.

ment on disarmament, by LESSEN

under the direction Of Col.
Barnet w. Beers. retired Army
officer.
First details on that study
were revealed in June when a
draft of the Beers plan was
turned over to the committee
headed by Col. John E. Fon-
dahl, District civil defense
director who serves as chair
man.
It was announced then that
the committee, after further
study itself, hoped to submit
the finished draft to the Dis
trict Commissioners and the
two Governors by Septem-
Der. That now has been &C
complished.
The June disclosures dealt
primarily with a survival plan
based on the premise that the
nuclear fallout blanket here
would cut off an escape to
the sea and force evacuation
inland. This, it was pointed
out, would force Washington
area evacuees to flee to the
west, north and south.
Extent Of CDA Area Described
The latest draft formally
proposes that the Washington
Civil Defense Area include the
following:
The District of Columbia;
Montgomery, Prince Georges,
