Murray Backs
Reasonable
U. 5. PayRaise
5 Pet. Rise Seen
As Acceptable to
House Group Head
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee says he
is willing to go. along with
something reasonable" in the
way of Federal pay raise this
year.
The Tennessee Democrats
statement to this reporter is
particularly significant. since
previously this year he has
strongly opposed any pay raise
for classified and postal workers.
Mr.. Murray wants the pay
increases kept to modest pro-
portions. Although he did not
name the figure, it probably is
around 5 per cent.
Any increase substantially
higher than that would be too
costly. Mr.. Murray feels.
Break for Workers
Mr.. Murray's attitude is a de-
eided break for Federal workers.
AS chairman of the House COM
mittee, he is a powerful figure in
the final determination of the
outcome of Federal pay legisla-
ton.
There are several reasons for
Mr.. Murray's changing position.
First, he was not unaware of
the inequities of present Federal
salaries. This reporter has
known Mr.. Murray for many
years and considers him one of
the ablest and fair-minded men
In Congress.
Second, the administration
has antagonized Mr.. Murray by
its action in blandly opposing
any Federal pay raise without
bothering to give Congress any
specific reasons for its stand
outside of the casual reference
to imitation" Also the admin
istration antagonized Congress
by not sending up it's first

reporters at London Airport.
Some difficult problems re-

the major problem has been
overcome, but q few major ones
remain.

most difficult. which is verified
by the fact that it has been IL

Ofhcials IT, Washington after
Mr.. StaSseE's conferences there,
described az encouraging HuSsia's
initial reaction to the nev United

to Washington last week Mr..
Stassen had discussed the Amer

formally with Valerian Zorin,

Mr.. Stassen and the WASH

tinue the arms race"
Propaganda Move Seen
The Soviet Communist Party

point in the new American plan.
Talking to airport reporters in
Washington, Mr.. StasSen implied
that he considered Mr.. Khru-
shchev's remarks were made for
propaganda purposes. Disarma-
ment policies, he said. are
changed in negotiation" not in
such public comments.
One factor contributing to
Washington'S encouragement at
the initial Soviet reaction was a
reported indication that the
Russians would be willing to let
international disarmament in
spectors be stationed on Soviet
territory.
!! The Soviet government pre-
lviously had said it was prepared

J part of a general disarmament
program. The present indication
is that they would be willing to
have the inspectors at an early

gram as part of an agreement
for ending the nuclear arms
race.
