terparts in private business. To
thus heighten the present dis
tortion would be grossly unfair
and highly discriminatory.
8. Even within itself H. r.
1888 is manifestly unjust. For
a large number of employees it
would increase salaries by.
nearly 9 per cent, but for others
performing exactly the same
work the increase would be only
slightly over 71a per cent. Fur
ther, employees in the postal
field service would, in general,
be given larger percentage in
creaSes than those provided for
nearly twice as many persons
who are compensated under the
Classification Act and other
statutory pay schedules.
4. The claim by proponents
of the bill that the pay in
creases it would provide are
justified by a rise in the cost
of living is utterly without
foundation in fact. Since June
Of 1858, when a 10 per cent
pay increase for Federal en-
ployees was approved, the cost
of living as measured by the
Consumers Price Index has ad-
vanced 81 per cent. More i'm
portantly, since the beginning
of this Administration in jan
uary of 1858, Federal civilian
employees have received two
general pay adjustments, in
creasing average salaries 171z
to 20 per cent in the aggregate,
while during the same period
the Consumers Price Index has
advanced less than II per cent.
S. BY not providing offsetting
revenues for the $248 million a
year 1t would add to Post Once
Department costs, the bill
stands in complete disregard
of the policy which the Con-
gress itself established in 1858
that postal revenues should ap-
proximately equal postal costs
less those costs deemed at
tributable to the performance
of public services. The conse-
quences Of this disregard, were

be to increase the postal deficit,
which must be met by the
American taxpayer, to 1851

I'VE are saddened, sickened
and shocked by this heartless
veto of a desperately needed

statement issued as soon as the
veto message arrived at the
House. "Our 125.o00 members

lief is an absolute necessity. We
earnestly implore members Of

had shown conclusively "the
widening disparity Of Govern

Senate over the two-thirds
margin required to override.

Meanwhile, the Civil Service
Commission issued a statement
criticizing the bill on the
grounds that it creates inequi-
ties in the Classification Act.
Chairman Roger Jones said
the bill actually gives employees
in the top longevity step of
Grade There are only a
handful Of such employes-an
increase Of 8.3 per cent. On
the other hand, employees in
top Grade 1s are given only a
ST per cent raise, he noted.
Mr.. Jones also criticized the
dangerous precedent" of plac-
ing $4,000 Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation County
Committee employees in the bill,
as we'll as giving them health
and life insurance and retire
ment benefits that are given
Federal workers.
These County Committee
employees are not Federal en-
ployes in any sense" Mr.. Jones
declared. They are hired and
supervised by committees of
farmers, elected by other farm
ers, who are not Federal
employees"
The csc chief added, 1T is
not fair to /. million Classifica-
ton Act employees to select this
group of private citizens for

Err THAN MAN

Did you ever get the i'm
preston at Marineland that
the porpoises in the big tank
were laughing at you?
Maybe they were-in a con-
descending sort of way.
DR.. John c. Lilly, director
of the Communication Re-
search Institute of st. Thomas,
Virgin Islands, thinks the
happy looking marine NAM
mails would have every reason
to snicker superciliously. They
are that smart-ever so much
more intelligent than monkeys,
and maybe even brighter than
the apes nearest relative, man.
Experiments with porpoises
(bottle-nosed dolphins) have
proved, DR.. Lilly says, that they
can:
/. Communicate among them
selves.
2. Learn by experience as
quickly as men.
8. Pick up human language
tricks and use them with ap-
parent purpose, not as parrots
and parakeets do.
In addition, they are blessed
with perfect vision both above
and below the surface of the

Porpoises Could Be Laughing at Us

with the animals for about 10
years, in recent times under a
Navy research contract.
One of the most puzzling
things about the porpoise is
its apparent fondness for hui
man beings. DR.. Lilly says there
has never been a documented
case of a porpoise attack on a
person despite the fact that
a porpoise is big and bellicose
enough to rip a shark to shreds.
On the contrary, there have
been many records of porpoises
saving human lives.
The porpoise, DR.. Lilly says,
has a brain bigger than mans,
and equal to or better than the
human brain in every measur-
able respect. Whether man or
the porpoise is intellectually
superior depends on what is
meant by intellect"
I'D feel like an idiot in the
water compared to a porpoise, "
DR.. Lilly points out, but a por-
poise would be lost in the
Library of Congress"
Ability of the animals to
communicate rather complex
distractions to one another is
proved beyond doubt. DR.. Lilly
suggests it may be possible to
establish communication be-

tracks of the Richmond. Fred
ericksburg & Potomac Railroad
near the bridge over Route 638.
A pair of broken eyeglasses
was found nearby. The boys
sandals had been torn from
his feet and were lying far
apart.
Virginia State Trooper C. j
Bell said the boy might have
toppled off or been struck by
a southbound passenger train
which went through Lorton at
$3.50 am. or, police speculated
he may have hitched ride on
a freight train and fallen OF
as it passed through the town
at $50 am.
An engineer on the next train
spotted the body about 6:45
and radioed his headquarters
in Richmond.
Police canvassed the thinly
populated area near the tracks,
and checked out all reports OF
missing boys.
The boy was white. 4 feet 8
inches tall, with brown haiI
and hazel eyes. He was wear
ing a red jacket, dungarees
and a T-shirt with horizontal
black and white stripes. An

tween porpoises and humans
They have the ability to make
recognizable "humanoid" noises,
he points out.
This is an alien species that
has the anatomical potential of
being our equal" DR.. Lilly says.
He adds that experience in es-
tablishing intellectual contact
with porpoises might be valu-
able if the time ever comes to
deal with beings on another
world.
How a spaceman would ever
communicate with a creature
of equal intelligence but an
entirely different heritage and
background has long puzzled
scientists. AS DR.. Lilly points
out, the heritage and back
ground of the ocean-dwelling
porpoise is entirely alien to
human experience.
This is not the reason for
the Navy's interest in the
friendly animals, however. The
Navy would like to know how
the porpoise swims so fast-up
to IS miles an hour-and how
its sonar system operates.
If the porpoise is as smart
as DR.. Lilly believes, maybe the
best way to find out would be

By EARL H. VOSS
Star stah Writer

Secretary of State Herter to-
day conceded the administra-
tion's judgment was poor and
its information was bad in the
case of President Eisenhower's
cancelled goodwill trip to
Japan.
Under sharp questioning by
Democratic Senator Lyndon
johnson, Secretary Herter said
any incorrect evaluation of the
magnitude of the demonstra-
tions in Tokyo was a collective
Judgment" and you can pin
it on me-"
He acknowledged that the
White House had concurred.
But Secretary Herter said it
was important at the time to
gauge the alternative. If the
administration had decided the
President should cancel his trip
it would have been tantamount
to admitting a minority in Ja-
pan had so disrupted law and
order that it would have been
dangerous for Mr.. Eisenhower
to come.
AgitatOrs' Victory Feared
1T would have been giving
in to that minority" Mr.. Her
ter said. 1T would have been
a great victory for the agitator
groups"
The Secretary, testifying be-
fore a Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee, assured Chair
man Johnson that the Presi-
dent plans no more goodwill
trips during his administra-
ton. Senator johnson pointed
out the administration had dis
regarded the advice of Sem
ators Russell and Fulbright
who had earlier advised against
the trip.
Mr.. Herter indicated the adj
ministration had expected
demonstrations of thousands
of persons instead of the hun
dreds of thousands.
Trips at an End
Senator johnson asked the
Secretary if the Presidents
planned any more good wiz
trips. NO." Mr.. Herter replied.
This is the end?"
"Yes," Secretary Herter re-
piled.
In his prepared statement
Mr.. Herter said, Increased
emphasis should now be placed
on traditional channels and
procedures of international
contact, rather than on more
informal methods"
Long range effects of tie
