not mistake allied eagerneSs for
East-WeSt talks as a sign of
Western weakness.
Wilhelm G. Grewe, German
Ambassador to the United
States, said yesterday his coun-
try would "favorably consider"
some supervision of West Ber-
lin by the United Nations. Mr..
Grewe said on a televiSion pro-
gram taped for New York sta
tons with Senator Heating,
Republican of New York, he
believes it is impossible to ne
gotiate with the Communists
over Berlin as an isolated
problem"
Wider Scope
1--WE have to consider nego-
tiations of a far wider scope,
including the German problem
as a whole and European Sc
curity problems, and perhaps
disarmament" he said.
Senator Keating asked how
the diplomat felt about some
kind of a United Nations su-
pervision over Berlin"
We think that for the time
being, and for the foreseeable
future, the indispensable guar
antee of West Berlin's freedom
and independence is a four
power guarantee" Mr.. Grewe
replied. But I think we would
favorably consider an addi-
tional United Nations Super
vision and United Nations or
ganS."

mittee did hold hearings, but
the &C adverse report was not
in evidence nor were any csc
officials invited to testify.
When the bill came to the
House floor, it ran into aIstorm
Of opposition headed by three
members of the House Civil
Service Committee. They were
Representatives Davis, Demo-
crat of Georgia; and Repub-
licanS Gross Of Iowa and
Johansen of Michigan.
They contended that the
House Civil Service Commit
tee should have handled such
legislation in the first place.
Assail Precedent
But even more important,
they argued, such legislation
would set a dangerous pre-
cedent by destroying the in
tegrity of the Classification
Act and upsetting morale in
Government. They declared
that if such a bill was ap-
proved, other departments and
agencies would seek the same
pay-setting privilgese for the
remaining 5000 lawyers in
Government.
1t would "open a Pandora's S
box" Mr.. Gross declared, in
which agencies would also seek
salary-fixing privileges for
other groups of professional
managerial and other classes
of employees.
These arguments prevailed
The House defeated the bill by
a 223-to-l72 roll call vote, thu;
killing the measure for the
year.
Proponents of the bill hac
argued the legislation was nee.
sary to enable the Justice De-
partment to attract and retair
the most capable lawyers. They
pointed out that Justice al
ready has the authority to fiji
the pay of it's US. Attorney
and assistant u. S. Attorney

Ignoring the opposition of the
Civil Service Commission, the
Kennedy administration, led by
Attorney General Robert Ken
nedy, sought complete freedom
to fix the salaries of Justice
Department lawyers-only to
meet defeat in the House.
The Attorney General wanted
authority to fix the salaries of
the 900 lawyers in the Justice
Department without regard to
the Classification Act, which
fixes the salaries Of Federal at
torneys as we'll as the pay of
all other Government white
collar workers.
Legislation was sought in
Congress to bring this about.
This would have permitted the
Justice Department to pay any
or all of it's attorneys salaries of
up to $4,000 a year, regardless
of past experience, etc. This
freedom to fix salaries would
also have applied to lawyers
who weren't even performing
an attorneys duties at Justice.
The CSC sent a report to the
Budget Bureau opposing the
legislation. 1t pointed out that
this would set a very dangerous
precedent which could do severe
harm to the civil service system.
1t could create a precedent
whereby not only would other
departments and agencies seek
authority to fix their lawyers
pay, but subsequently seek au-
thority to fix salaries of other
groups Of professional and man
agerial employees.
Report Is Ignored
However, the csc report was
ignored. 1t never saw the light

Phone Number Furnished
The editorial urged voters to

Gen. Brown read Gen.
Walker an Army regulation

corning political campaigns

asked.
This was obtained through
other than military channels"
Gen. Walker replied. II kept
no secret that I used it for

Three times thereafter Gen.
Brown repeated his original
question.
At one point, Gen. Walker
commented, II didn't refer to
this regulation when the deci-
sion was made. I have
nothing further to add, sir"
Gen. Brown Persists

Sen Brown said. II asked you
a question. You can invoke
Article 81 if you don't care to

Article 81 is the provision of
the Uniform Code of Military
Justice comparable to the
Fofth Amendment guarantee
against Standardization.
Gen. Walker replied, 1T is
not open and shut to me, even
right now. the preponder-
ance of evidence here, read

is some error in using it this
way. This is an article in the

He was also considering the
possibility of constructing dams

Of gallons of water that run off

in Christiansted.
The Governor then spoke Of
other plans to increase the tourist
trade and also of the help he is
seeking from Washington to assist
in drafting laws in connection
with tax exemptions and thus
avoid conflict with the Federal
laws or in later years to make an
honest citizen look like a criminal.
He is satisfied that tremendous
progress has been made in two
weeks. Mention was made also Of
the cultural program that he has
appointed DR.. Alonzo Moron to
head up; not just a question of es-
tablishing a college, he said. It
goes far beyond that. He hopes to
bring in students from all over the
world-the middle east Far East,

tions, also continental Americans
down to join with us to see how

death Sunday night.
David Sears. son of Mr.. and

Deciding that he would not

to the hospital, Mr.. Sears got
the knife. cut an incision in
David's throat and dislodged
the piece of cookie. After the
child was able to breathe, he
was taken to st. Joseph's Hos
pital, where he was kept over
night for observation.
MIR. Sears said he had read
about tracheotomies and felt
he knew what to do. He was

Mr.. Stevenson said.
He said he found among
Latin American leaders "a
widespread disposition to ac-
knowledge that Self-help is es-
sential to the success Of the
mutual endeavor" of overcom-
ing "stagnation and social de-
cay"
He also said that ''in all the
governments I found conscious
ness that theories of economic
and social and structural re-
form must be translated into
action; that prompt results are
required; that the old societies
must change; that the mold of
the past has been broken by
events, by the revolution of ris-
ing expectations that is sweep
ing the world: that the gulf
between rich and poor, between
the over and under privileged
must be bridged and filled in"
Mr.. Stevenson asserted that
seldom has democracy and
governmental stability been
subjected in South America to
more severe strain and attack
than at the present time"
He said democracy is threat
ened by both left and right,
united in what he described as
"an unholy community of in
