Speedy Action

Pay Increase
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star staff Writer

The House and Senate Demo-
cratic leadership have put the
wheels in motion for final con-
gressional approval of the Gov
ernment pay raise-retirement-
postal rate bill next week.
President Kennedy is con-
sidered certain to sign the bill
into law.
Representative Gross, Repub-
lican of Iowa, threw a slight
delay into the bills progress
yesterday when he objected to
a move to send the bill to
House-Senate conference. Mr..
Gross said the House had not
acted on the pay raise portion
of the bill, which had been
added by the Senate to the
postal rate legislation.
However. the delay viii be
only temporary.
On Monday, under suspension
rules which viii be in effect in
the House, the motion to send
the bill to conference again viii
be made by Chairman Murray
Of the House Civil Service Com
mittee. This time it viii prevail,
since this requires no unani-
nous consent procedure nor the
tiEae-consuming approval of
the House Rules Committee.
Speaker Mccormack agreed
to this procedure, which re-
quires a two-thirds vote-one
that viii easily be acquired in
the House.
House-Senate conferees are
expected to meet on the bill on
Tuesday.
There is no disagreement
about the two-phase total
raise Of 4 to 13 per cent for
Federal classified employees and
average II per cent for postal
workers approved by the Sem
ate. House conferees are ex-
pected to agree to these provi-
Sions.
Nor is there any disagree
ment as to the retirement lib
eralization provisions of the
bill.
There are differences over
the cuts in second and third
class mail rate increases that
were made by the Senate
under that Of the House bill.
The differences aren't con-
sidered very serious and both
House and Senate conferees
are expected to reach agree
ment In not more than two
meetings.

and nations for the coming
year is finally sealed.
In the intervening 10 days,
therefore, each Jew is enjoined
to pray for Gods mercy. to re-
pent his sins. to give to charity
and to forgive his enemies in
the hope that God will likewise
forgive him.
Rosh Hashanah is marked
also by the blowing of the
"Shofar," or rams horn. The
blasts of the horn are symbolic
calls to repentance, so that all
who hear the horn can take
heed and join the community
in prayer.
Technically, Rosh Hashanah
is not the beginning of The
Jewish calendar, which. like all
early calendars, begins in t h e
spring. The first month is the
month of Nissan casually March
or ApriD = the month of the
Exodus from Egypt.
Rosh Hashanah falls on the
first day of the Hebrew month
of Tishri, which is the seventh
month Of the Jewish calendar.
For more than two millenia
however. the date has been con-
sidered the anniversary of the
creation of the universe and,
consequently, the real begin
ming Of each year.
The observance Of the holy
day in its earliest form goes
back more than 5000 years. The
bible commands the children Of
Israel:
"In the seventh month, on
the first day of the month, We
shall have a holy convocation;
We shall do no servile work;
it is a day of blowing the shofaI
unto you"
What the day actually means
to Jews is best summed up BY
a prayer composed nearly LOOT
years ago and recited in every
synagogue on every Rosh Has
hanah since:
"On Rosh Hashanah it Is
written, and on Yom Kippur IL
is sealed: how many small pass
and how many shall remain,
who will live and who will die,
who viii live out his appointed
time and who will not -. who
will be at rest and who will
wander, who will be raised up
and who cast down.
But prayer, penitence N d
charity can avert and evil de-
cree"

which the prosecutors disa-
greed completely with the
judge.
I'VE who are in law enforce
ment feel that this legislation
would seriously hamper our ef-
forts and would not be in the
best interests Of public safety
and public welfare, and might
very well lead to the aid and
comfort Of the criminal ele-
ment," said the statement from
District Attorney Bernard c.
Smith Of Suffolk County, New
York.
He wrote that intelligent re-
porting Of criminal matters
often brings forth new infor-
nation from the public.
District Attorney William
Calm Of neighboring Nassau
County called the idea an in
dictment Of the jury system,
He said an entire jury panel
could be prejudiced against the
defendant. But he could still
be acquitted because the trial
judge or the appellate court
will hold that any such con-
viction is not based on evidence.
The Right to Know
"The State is a servant of
the people," said Mr.. Halfway,
opposing Justice Meyers posi-
ton. "The employers have a
right to know what their en-
ployes are doing"
Several editors questioned
Justice Meyer sharply on the
matter Of publishing the names
and addresses Of Jury members.
He advocated not publishing
jurors names and addresses.
saying this would shield them
from crank calls and letters.
His immediate aim, the Judge
said. is to get up a committee
to make a study of the evidence
on prejudice created by news
stories and then-if the crea-
ton of prejudice is shown-to
deal with the cause through his
proposed law.
"The reversal Of q judgment
or conviction when essential
unfairness has been demon
strated is not an adequate
corrective" Justice Meyer said.
Where a man has been con-
victed in an atmosphere Of
prejudice. the defendant may
be kept in jail and lose thous-
ands of dollars while he ap-
peals, even If he is acquitted at
a later trial.

Question: eff the Pope Is
irifallible, why does he need to
call an Ecumenical Council
such as the one to be held
in the Vatican in OCTOBER"
Answer: According to the
structure of the Roman Catho-
lie church, the Pope is not only
the supreme Pontiff, but he Is
also q bishop. The bishops,
as a body and as individuals,
are the governors Of the
church.
In matters so profound as
those which will confront the
Second Vatican Council, Pope
John XXIII is following the
custom Of former popes in
drawing together the combined
thought and prayer Of the
bishops of the church. If final
decisions are to be made, it
will be the Pope who declares
them as dogmas and they will
be regarded as infallible.
An excellent explanation of
the meaning Of this Secon d
Vatican Council is to be found
in q little pamphlet by the
Rev. James j. McQuade, 81,
and called what You Should
Know About the Ecumenical
Council" It is published by
the Queens Work, BIS South

his proposal for a law to sharply
limit the content Of news stories
between the time a defendant is
arrested and the time he is
brought to trial.
The statute would, In es-
sence. permit newspapers and
broadcasters to report the fact
of a mans arrest and the crime
with which he is charged.
But it would prevent publi-
cation of any prior criminal
cases, interviews with witnesses
and the defendants statements
to police-all Of which he con-
tended may tend to prejudice
a jury.
All Of these items could be
published at the end Of a trial
or when they are introduced to

Editors Protest
Justice Meyer, who says he

spent more than an hour field
ing editors questions after his

To be effective. Justice Meyer
said. his proposal would have
to be enacted into law at both

The front against his plan
was a solid one.
Panel member John Colburn
of the Richmond CVa.) Times
Dispatch, said prejudicial re-

search for truth.
Better liaison between the
