The Defense Department
which employees about $1,000
OF the scientists and engineers
involved disclosed last week
that It had asked the csc "a
permit 1t TO pay these en-
ployes the top-step Of their
respective grades.
Approval of the Defense De-

mean similar pay increases for
about 5000 other scientists
and engineers in these grades
who are employed by other
Federal agencies.
Under the law. the csc has
the power to authorize pay
ment OF salaries at the top step
of a grade in hard-to-fill
Federal positions.
Since the Government Is
suffering an acute shortage Of
qualified engineers and scien-
fists, the csc has decided that
top-step-of -the-grade salaries
are justified in these Jobs.
The increases will range up
to more than $1,000 q year, de-
pending on what step OF the
grade an employe is in. Those
already in the top-step OF q
grade will not receive an in
crease. but their numbers are
relatively few.
Defense officials estimate
that the higher salaries will
cost the Defense Department
an additional $50 million q
year
The Russian Sputniks played
a major role in the forthcom-
ing pay raises for Government
scientists and engineers.
Some months ago Navy had
asked the csc for authority to

Algeria Policy

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Nov. 80 R1.--Syria said today
that because of "so-called
NATO solidarity" the United
States position on Algeria was
unsatisfactory. She asked that
the United States reconsider
the situation there ION It's
merits"
Syrian Delegate Farid Zein-
eddine added that the U. N,
General Assembly should rec
ommend direct negotiations be-
tween Algerians and French
ION the basis of independence"
for Algeria. with legitimate
French interests safeguarded.
He told the Assembly's 81
nation political committee
France should negotiate with
the Algerian front of National
Liberation. which he said could
speak for Algeria and was
ready to negotiate. The three
year-old Algerian revolutionary
war. he added. should stop
when the negotiations start.
Lauds First Step
Comdr. Allan Noble, British
minister Of state. urged the As
Sembly to avoid any action that
would hamper France in carry
ing out the pending framework
law for Algeria. which he called
"a courageous first step" This
and supplementary laws would
set up an Algerian federation
giving Moslems equal voting
rights with Europeans IN the
separate regions but leaving
France IN overall control. The
French National Assembly APP
proved two Of the laws last
might.
Comdr. Noble called for a
lcease-fire in Algeria leading to
free elections to discover who
really can speak in the name
of the inhabitants" He said II
would be dangerous TO equate
the Algerian fronts demands
with the true interests of those
inhabitants. He argued that
institutions for such a complex
community could be evolved
only through the discussion of
freely elected representatives
OF the community as whole. :"
The United States has not
yet spoken in the committed
Algerian policy debate. In a
communique ending the Wash
ington visit of King Moham-
med V Of Morocco. Secretary
OF State Dulles Wednesday
said merely that the United
States favored a peaceful.

OF the Algerian question.

high-level meeting next month,
had supported French rule in
Algeria by letting French

there.
He said United States finan-
cial, military and political help
enabled France to carry on this

urged that the United States

the United States reaction was

tia expressed annoyance today
about the action of Harold Stas-
sen in presenting new United
States disarmament proposals to
NATO officials before putting
them before the United Nations
Disarmament Subcommittee in
London.
The government newspaper
said the optimism which pre-
vaded early stages Of the London
talks is beginning to fade and
declared one reason is the
strange behavior" Of the United
States delegation.
Izvestia said Mr.. Stassen re-

instead Of bringing them UP at

them with other members of

totalitarian governments Of all
but the bare consumer goods.
The fact that 80 per cent Of
these people live under harsh
tyranny does not seem to
bother particularly the peoples
of the West who have fought
two wars since 1914 to keep
freedom alive. We have seen
what happened when the
heroic Hungarian people rose
last fall. The West applauded
loudly but did nothing to help
them out.
Business, not heroics,"
seems to be the new slogan OF
the free nations of the West.
What matter to them If the
Soviet or Chinese Dictator
ships Cypress their people or
behave in an offensive manner
toward the rest of the free
world so long as the West can
make a fast buck?
This philosophy was well
illustrated only this week. We
have attempted with every
argument at our disposal to
convince the British and Jap
anese not to resume an almost
unlimited trade with Commu-'
mist China, a country with
which we and a number Of
our allies are still technically
at war. Our arguments fell on
deaf ears although the actual
profits which Britain can ex-
pect from this trade cannot
represent even S per cent Of its
international dealings.
The Japanese have different
motives for breaking the exist
ing restrictions and engaging
in about trade with China.
Japan is now making a strong
bid to recapture the Far East
ern markets and put into
effect Gin a peaceful manner"
the same ideas her warlords
had when they started their
military drive into China and
Southeast Asia between 1887
and their defeat in 1945. Since
military Imperialism has been
so devastatingly unsuccessful.
they hope that peaceful eco
nomic Imperialism will be
much more fruitful.
If as a result Of the deci-
sions taken by the British and
the japanese, the Communist
military might is increased
and our allies in the Pacific
are trampled under Peiping's
feet. 50 much the worse for
them.

The West is now engaged in

free world.
Because Of the lure Of "tre-
mendous trade possibilities"
with the peoples behind the
iron and bamboo curtains,
our Western allies and Japan
are leaving no stone unturned
to grab those possibilities"
We are caught in the middle.
The American people con-

and anxious to placate its al
lies across the Atlantic, is at

Dulles remains as suspicious

The economy wave which
brought about some cuts in
the military establishments and
will curtail the foreign aid
program are not due 70 any
desire by Congress to let down
our guard. They are the result
of q thorough analysis Of the
expenditures in all Govern
ment departments. These show
that If the 1858 budget were
reduced by IS billion there
would still remain much fat
which could be trimmed with
out impairing in the slightest
our effectiveness against the
Communist menace.
Those who have travelled
through Europe, Africa and
Asia are fully aware that our
people in those areas. both
military and civilian, are not
leading anywhere near a

by Congress to curtail the
expenses which permit them
that lavish mode Of living is
answered by the administra-

cuts would impair our de-
