Report on Opinion Polls
Chides U. S. Agencies

House subcommittee charges
that the State Department IL
legally paid for opinion polls
and that the International Co
operation Administration leaked
classified material to news
papers contained recommended i
tions today on how properly to
influence the public and win
friends in Congress.
A 22-page report by a House
Government Operations SUBJ
committee. approved by the
full committee. was issued last
night on the basis Of hearings
caused mainly by a news story
in The Evening Star last Feb
ruary. The story reported that
public opinion polls indicated
foreign aid is favored by 30
per cent Of those polled.
Many of the findings in the
report Of the subcommittee
headed by Representative Por-
ter Hardy, jr.. Democrat Of
Virginia. were disclosed in the
course of the hearings or short
ly thereafter. The subcommit-
tee said 1t found that The
Stars news story was based on
a poll conducted for the State
Department in November, 1856,
by the National Research Gen.
ter.
1t said the information was
given u q Star reporter by
WilliauD ]. Caldwell, director
Of the ICA ONCE Of public re-
ports, although the material
bore an "Oficial Use Only
classification. Substantially the
same information was given
later to the New York Times
by Mr.. Caldwell. the report
stated. "
Use Considered Illegal
AS for State Department
payments for the public opin-
ion poll on its policies. the re-
port noted that the General
Accounting once considers
that the use of department
emergency funds" was illegal
for that purpose, and that the
Budget Bureau regards 1t as
improper"
Over Q 14-year period be-
ginning in 1874, the report
declared. the department spent
$552,927.38 on polls. The cost
Of the polls was paid out Of an
appropriation entitled "Emer-
gencies in the Diplomatic and
Consular Service" and the
Secretary of State certified
these expenditures" the report
stated. 1t added that such
certiflcation by the Secretary
had the effect of ''precluding
a post-audit by the General
Accounting once"
"In the light Of testimony
cat hearings from last Febru-
ary to July 49," the report
declared. "the subcommittee
concludes that the use Of
emergency funds to pay for
the polls arose from a desire
to conceal the fact that the
State Department was spon-
soring polls. rather than from
any belief that q bonafIde
emergency was envolYed."
Summary Of Report
Mr.. Hardy summarized the
report as follows in q separate
statement:
THE report points out that
over a period Of several years
the State Department has ex-
pended for these polls. on a
confidential basis. moresthan a
half-million dollars Of funds
which were intended for emer-
gency use. 1t charges also that

pay raise forces at the mom-
ent, lack about six or seven
votes to succeed in the Senate.
OF course, talk about overrid-
ing an expected veto is putting
the cart before the horse. While
the House has approved classi-
fed and postal employe pay
raise bills. the Senate has yet
to act.
Senate action and approval
is expected next week. But il
Congress winds up its session
at the end Of next week, 1t will
not even have a chance to vote
to override. President Eisen-
hover could pocket-veto the
legislation after Congress leaves
town.
II, however, Congress re-
mains in session until August
81 or later, 1t would have Q
chance to vote to override.
But the prospects for over
riding are not too good. to put
it bluntly.
II the Senate approves the
HouSe-passed postal rate in
crease bill, so urgently desired
by the administration. it might
help the chances Of overriding
q pay raise veto. But there is
no certainty that the Senate
will act this year on postal rate
raises. although employe groups
have not given up hope Of this
happening.
&A AA#
VIRTUAL MIRACLE Even
II Federal pay raise legislation
falls through this year. the
very fact that it has gotten this
far in Congress is in the nature
Of . near miracle. 1t is q great
tribute to the postal and Fed
eral employe union leaders.
When Congress convened last
January, the odds against 8
Federal pay raise were con.
sidered to be a 1000 to l. Eco
nomy fever was high in Con.
gress. And not only the ad-
ministration opposed Federal
pay raises. but the Democratic
leaders in Congress were also
cool to the idea.
But as q result Of an inten-
size. intelIigently conceived
campaign on the part Of the
postal employe unions. aided
by Federal employe groups. pay
raise legislation suddenly made
strides in Congress.
And now, as one employe
leader puts it. we're down to
the 10-yard line. first down
and goal to CO."
Federal employe leaders by
no means have given UP hope
of obtaining pay raises this
year. They feel that. since
they have come such q long
way against overwhelming
odds. they still can attain their
goal this year.
But If they don't. one thing
is well to remember. The pay
raise legislation does not die.
nor need to be enacted over
again next year. This is be-
cause next years second ses-
sion Of the 05th Congress is
merely q continuation Of this
years session. and consequently
Congress would be in the posi-
ton Of taking immediate action
in sending pay raise legisla-
ton again to the White House
shortly after it convenes.
