Pope John XIII for this frs
general church council in near
ly a century.
The 80-year-old Pope's open.
ing address was an appeal fol
Christian unity. He said prog.
ress had already been made
toward unity. He spoke spe.
officially of a unity Of prayers
and aspirations and a unity OF
esteem and respect.
Unfortunately" the Pope
said, 1.-The entire Christian fam
lily has not yet fully attained
T.. unity in truth.
Duty to Work Actively
"The Catholic church, there
fore, considers 1t her duty to
work actively so that there may
be fulfilled the great mystery
of that unity, which Jesus
Christ invoked with fervent
prayer from His Heavenly Fa-
ther on the eve of his sacrifice
"She (the church, rejoices in
peace, knowing that she is init
mately associated with that
prayer, and then exults great
ly at seeing that invocation ex-
tend its efficiency with salu-
tary fruit even among those
who are outside her fold.
Indeed, If one considers well
this same unity which Christ
implored for His church it seems
to shine with a triple ray
of beneficient supernal light:
Namely, the unity of Catholics
among themselves, which must
always be kept exemplary and
most firm; the unity of prayers
and ardent desires with which
those Christians separated from
the Apostolic See, aspire to be
united with us; and the unity
in esteem and respect for the
Catholic church which animates
those who follow non-Catholic
religions"
He said the Ecumenical
Council prepares. as it were,

were to have ended last night,
But after the two met for four
hours in the Presidential
Palace. a spokesman for the
Cuban Prisoners Families
Committee said:
Certain points have to be
revised and this will take two
or three further meetings"
There was nothing to indi-
cate that the snag was caused
by the claim of Cuban exiles
that they raided the North
Coast port of Isabella de Sagua
Monday. They said there were
20 casualties.
There has been no confirma-
ton of the raid or any COM
ment on the exiles' claim in
Havana.
The committees spokesman
would not say what caused the
hitch in negotiations but EN-
phasized there would be further
meetings, possibly today or to-
morrow.
The fact that the talks haC
not been broken off dispellec
rumors that the negotiations
had collapsed.
There had been considerable
uneasiness among the rescue
groups members because of de-
lays in what had been billed as
the final round of negotiations.
Mr.. Donovan was to have met
with Mr.. Castro Tuesday. This
session was postponed and there
was q suggestion that Mr.. Cas-
tro would be busy welcoming
President Osvaldo Dorticos Tor
RADIO on his return from the
United Nations General As
sembly in New York.
Then word came for Mr..
Donovan to stand by for the
meeting yesterday. He finally
went to see Mr.. Castro in the
late afternoon.
AS the negotiations dragged
on, informants in Havana said
Pan American Anyways has
offered to fly the prisoners to
Miami as soon as an agreement
is reached.
The prisoners were captured
in the Bay of Pigs invasion in
April of 1861. Mr.. Castro orig
inally asked $62 million in cash
for the release of all those
captured. Mr.. Donovan re-
portedly has offered medicine
and food in lieu of cash.
Relatives or friends have
paid for the release Of a few
captives, and so sick or
wounded prisoners were re-
turned to Miami last April.

funds for projects ranging from
a new bridge to a fresh ap-
proach to welfare problems, was
passed by the House today.

proposals had been delayed by
welfare investigations and dis
putes over highway construc-
ton projects.
Conference Agreement
After being tied up for about
q week, House-Senate conferees
yesterday reached agreement
on the budget.
The conferees had been dead
locked on the question of con-
struction money for a Potomac
River bridge at Three Sisters
Islands.
A 100000 item for a start
on the bridge, to be built just
upstream from Key Bridge, is
included in the budget. In re-
porting out the appropriations

ing next Sunday. For postal
workers, the salary increases
take effect this Saturday.
The pay raises are in two
phases-the first part taking
effect now and the second part
on January /, 1864.
Better Controls Sought
In signing the pay bill. Mr..
Kennedy announced he had sent
a memorandum to the heads Of
departments and agencies call
ing on them to improve man
power controls and utilization
in order to eliminate unneces-
sary Federal jobs.
The President said that such
effective controls would lead to
the elimination of tens of thou
sands of marginal Federal jobs
or at least prevent such num-
bers from being added to the
Government payroll.
Mr.. Kennedy told the agency
heads their cooperation was
needed Ito hold new requests
for personnel to bedrock levels,
to abolish marginal Jobs, and
to increase employee produc-
tivity. Where rules, regulations.
or law restrict you in carrying
out this objective, I will expect
you to make these facts known
promptly and to suggest solu-
Itions."
The total two-phase increase
for Federal classified employees
ranges from 5 per cent for those
in the lowest grades to 81 per
cent for employees in one of the
top salary steps. The $18,500
Classification Act pay ceiling is
raised to $4,000.
Postal Worker Changes
Postal workers total two-part
pay raise averages about II
per cent, with postal clerks and
letter carriers getting a total
raise of 10.7 per cent. Postal
supervisors and other officials
get up to about IS per cent.
Actually, the retirement lib
eralization features Of the new
law, including a S per cent
raise for Federal retirees and
their survivors, will not go into
effect until Congress approves
specific appropriations to cover
the cost.
However, Congress is ex-
pected to approve the necessary
funds before adjournment and
consequently the retirement
features are expected to become
effective along with the other
provisions of the bill.
The pay raises do not need
specific appropriations to be-
come effective.
The cost of the pay features
of the new law is 81. AGO, 000, 900.
but administration officials feel
that the pay reforms it brings
about are more than worth the
cost.
The new law establishes the
principle of compatibility,
whereby Government salaries
are to attain parity with in
duStry pay.
To make sure that this OBJ
jective is reached and main
tanned, the new law contains a
provision whereby the Presi-
dent and his staff will conduct
an annual Government salary
review to compare Federal pay
with industry rates. The Presi-
dent will submit the annual
findings to Congress. together
with any recommendation he
has for adjusting Government
pay.
Other Provisions
The new law also gives the
Civil Service Commission au-
thority to allow agencies to
pay above-grade salaries in
order to maintain compatibility
with industry. provides merit

Congress. Poee Al
of the House confereeS, said he
expects this meeting to resolve
differences with the Senate.
If this major controversy Is
settled, the Senate will be able
to take up later today the final
catch-all supplemental appro-
priation bill. Senator Russell
Democrat of Georgia, could
hold this bill up until tomor-
row if there is no agreement on
the agriculture measure.
Evidence of Adjournment
Other signs that adjourn
ment was near came when
House Democratic Leader AL

nous consent to waive the
rule requiring conference re-
ports to go over one day.
Representative Gross, Repub-
lican of Iowa, objected, but

the Rules Committee can over
come his objection if two
thirds of the members are will

would keep the Department OF
Agriculture going on an emer-

bill, but he told the House he
does not expect it will become
necessary to use this resolution
The big 81 billion river, har-

ton, also is still tied up in

regard the agriculture bill as
the real bottleneck and that
other remaining business will
be cleaned up quickly once that
is settled.

She Won And Lost

NICE, France (AP)-Marguer
Percy, the first woman ever elect
ed to the French Academy of Sci
ence, is calmly facing a certain
death due to radioactivity disease
contracted years ago in the service
of the late Marie Curie.
At so, Miss Percy knows she is
afflicted with radionecrosis, which
causes the progressive destruction
of bone and body tissue. First
noticed some 25 years ago, and
finally diagnosed 10 years ago, the
disease has more than b f.
paralyZed both her arms.
Intensive treatment and some 20
operations, including the amputa-
tion of two fingers, have been un-
able to halt the deadly march, and
Miss Percy has known for some
time that she is condemned.
"In those days." she recalls, we
took a minimum of precautions. 1t
was even the thing to scorn dan
gers of this sort. Fortunately, it is
much different today"
Since those days Miss Percy has
become one of the nations leaders
in science, and ranks with Pierre
and Marie Curie as a discoverer of
a new element. The Curies discov-
cred radium and polonium, while

men and ships are called to duty
at sea.
The u. S. Naval School Officer
tWomen), at Newport, r h e
Island, will convene class October
23, 1862, to train women for the
duties of naval officer. The six
teen week course is divided into
two segments. Upon successful
completion of the first eight week
session, or officer candidate phase,
the women are commissioned in the
grade of Ensign, u. S. Naval Re

of officer indoctrination, they then
serve for two years ON active duty.
Women officers fill a wide var
iety of military positions. They are
assigned to naval activities within
authorized military allowances and
are not used as separate pool of
personnel. Jobs currently being
prefHmed in the operational field
include aerology, aviation research
mfcrobiology, communications, le-
gislative liaison at the Capitol and
public information. Others serve in
finance, merchandising. supply, and
comptrollerships. In the field of

Her renown is science, and her
affliction, date from the day in
1929 when Marie Curie took Miss
Percy as a laboratory aide.
AS a student she had dreamed of
becoming a surgeon, but at the
time it was not considered a pro-
fession for a young woman, and so
she studied to become a laboratory
aide.

diploma of lowly assistant for

She spent the next 10 years from
1929 to 1899, living alone and al
most permanently alongside radio

isolated house at the end of the
laboratory garden. The windows
were barred and others were for
