PAY

that industry pay for these posi-
tons is considerably higher.
Pending any action by Con-
gress on Federal pay raises, the
agencies asked the csc to allow
these employees to be paid the
sop step of their respective
grades in grades IL to II. The
CSC already has granted such
authority in these jobs in grades
UP through IL.
csc approval Of payment Of
the top salary step In grades IL
through II would mean pay
boosts Of as much as $l.l00 for
some employees. Many others
would receive pay boosts Of 5000
to $500.
The Defense Departments ac-
ton is expected to result in the
csc postponing. for the time
being. consideration of the pro-
posed pay boosts not only for
defense agencies employees but
those in the NACA and the Ma
tionsl Bureau Of Standards and
other Federal agencies as well.
This is because Defense en-
ploys the bulk Of the Govern
ment's employees in these cate
gories. and what would be ap-
proved for one agency would
have to be applied to all the
others. 1t is obvious that the
Defense Department is the key
to the proposed raises and until
1t decides to ask for them, the
other agencies will have to mark
time.

Europe has two great fears

an initial arms cut will force the
United States to take troops out

at it cold-hloodedly, to be killed
in case there is q large-scale in
vasion. Europeans fear America
will not use its real strength

American soldiers are being
overrun by Communist troops
Second. Europeans fear a par

in the defense budget.

The British army win not bt

armament agreement. The West

to match for Britain. Her Ma
jesty's forces are at about that
level now but are being reduced
to 625,000 in q year and then to
$4,000 in 1862. They plan to
keep the weapons power Of a
ESQ, 000-man force however. This
would At in neatly with the pres
ent disarmament proposal and
the tight British budget.
France is now at about the
one million man level. She could
easily drop to 10000, however
If the Algerian war were settled.
The French hope the war won't
last as long as the London nego-
tiations.
German Views Important
The European powers want
the arms agreement to be well
policed, and there lies the big
gest problem: Germany's views
on inspection. Chancellor Ade-
nauer has said he would not per-
init inspection in his half Of Ger
many because that would tend to
freeze the present division of
Germany and could lead to
recognition of the East German
regime.
The American delegation here
is showing all sorts Of confidence,
however. that Germany will not
be a problem. Actually. it is said.
the question Of the, inspection
area has been tossed to the
NATO nations for solution.
These countries certainly will
want Communist Europe in
spected, so they reasonably would
have to offer q good chunk Of
western Europe for Soviet in
spection. Germany is the key to
western defenses so it could
hardly be left out.
Perhaps a request from NATO
would be enough to permit Mr..
Adenauer to modify his stand
even though this is election year
for him.
After the first step has been
taken and has been proved ef-
fective. Europeans will look for
some political settlements be-

The House Foreign Affairs
Committee faces 10 more days Of
hearings before it acts on the $3.6
billion foreign aid authorization
approved by the Senate Friday.
But there were reliable indica-
tons on Capital Hill that. even If
the House group goes along with
the Senate ceiling on the authori-
cation. both houses probably will
wind UP actually appropriating
several hundred million dollars
less.
The bill now under considera-
ton is merely an authorization
and must be followed by a sepa-
rate appropriation bill. In the
past Congress has followed a pat
tern of scaling down the appro-
priations below the authorized
ceiling.
Several members Of the House
committee said yesterday their
hearings have not progressed far
enough to indicate the amount
q majority of the committee will
support.
Judd Approves Bill
Representative Judd. Republic
can Of Minnesota. a member OF
the committee. said he thought
the Senate passed a good bill.
Mr.. Judd said the foreign
aid program appears to be in
"better shape" in Congress than
Il was a few months ago
because the people are getting
a clearer understanding Of its
value. He said they are begin
ming to realize that cutting
foreign aid would not make
more money available for do
nestle purposes. but might only
result in this country spending
more on its own defenses.
Representative Smith, Repub-
lican of Wisconsin, another
member Of the committee. said
he regards the new Develop
ment Loan Fund authorized in
the Senate bill for economic aid
as "a serious mistake"
This fund, which would start
with $500 million the first yea
Is intended to put more en-
phasis on loans than grants for
economic aid. But Mr.. Smith
said he fears the loans would
be Of a soft type"
May Offer Amendment
He said he was considering an
amendment to require that the
loans be repaid in dollars rather
than in local foreign currencies.

probable that American negotia-

wise to make decisions and pro-
posals only after full consuita-

ers.
Western Response Delayed
This process is presently de-
laying the Western response to
the formal Soviet proposition fol-
q two to three year halt in nu-
clear tests and giving the Rus
slams the. advantage of ap-
parently having seized the ini-
tiative in the talks.
The main problem is how this
proposal fits in with the broader
detectives Of the Western COM
munity in the cNrrent talks. And
however they may feel about the
ACCESSIBILITY Of stopping nuclear
tests. European leaders have q
number Of firm views about the
other phases Of disarmament.
Basically, what the European
nations want to see come out of
the London conference is this f:

Macmillan:

fear, little prospect of a salts

Asks Series Of Questions
Mr.. Macmillan then aimed a
series Of questions at Marshal
Bulganin as to whether the Rus.
slams are ready now to come to
terms on the reunification of d.
vided Germany.
The Prime Minister said Rus
sia has not practiced the peace
It breaches in the Middle East.
He accused Marshal Bulganin Of
not living up to his professed
recognition of Britain's economic
interests in the area-citing the
hostile tone of Soviet press and
radio comments and the support
Russia has given to elements"
seeking to GUST British influence

Mr.. Macmillan asked Marshal
Bulganin to prove by deeds, not

suggested starting with action
