The Justice Department said
the court granted a temporary
order and will hold a hearing
February Z on the question of
permanent orders.
Similar suits were filed Fri
day in Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire against Goldfine,
who was sentenced last June S,
to a year in prison on tax eva
sion charges. He is now con-
fined in the Public Health Serv-

Besides the tax cases involv-
ing Goldfine, Government in

reports that he paid huge sums
to prominent figures in Gov
ernment for favors shown him
in the operation of his textile
manufacturing empire.
In addition to the one-year
sentence, the 7l-year-old Gold
fine was placed on five years
probation. One condition of
the probation is that he dis
close what happened to more
than 100000 that Government

Ikedu Would Add
Red China Trade

TOKYO, Jan. 20 (AP).-
Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda
told the lower house of parlia-

Mr.. Ikeda told a questioner
"the government would not

would not hesitate to seek re-
taxation of the allied embargo
of strategic goods to Peiping.
With the United States going
ahead with its "save-the-

industrialists feel it almost
imperative to increase trade

That panicky cry, sobbed by

Star Staff Writer


The administrations efforts
to get Congress to raise it's own
pay in order to clear the way
for large raises for top-level
Government career officials
and presidential appointees is
meeting a wall of massive in
difference on Capitol Hill.
President Kennedy's forth
coming pay raise proposals to
Congress designed to make
Government salaries "compar-
able" with industry would give
top career employees a contem-
plated eventual salary of $29 900
q year. Other careerists in the
upper brackets would make
nearly as much.
But members of Congress
only make $22,500 a year, and
Capitol Hill observers feel it
truly would be snowy day in
July when Congress would take
action to raise the salaries of
Government career employees
above their own.
Consequently, the adminis-
tration is trying to get Con-
gresS to raise the pay of its
own members.
But Congress apparently isn't
buying this proposal. In the
first place, this is an election
year and many a member shud-
ders to think what his conStit-
uents might think if he voted
to raise his own pay.
Also, many members of Con-
gress feel that, although a good
argument could be made for
raising congressional salaries
this move is at least severa,
years away. Still another argu-
ment heard-half in jest anc
half seriouS-iS II don't want
to make my job too attractive
to any possible candidates back
home by raising my salary"
An indication of the senti.
ment of Congress on this matter
occurred in the House last week

Congress Cool oword Pay Rise
For Itself and for Top Coreerists

I Representatives Wickersham OF
Oklahoma, Elliott of Alabama
and Doyle of California-took
the floor to discourage the idea
of raising congressional salaries
at this time.
No other House member arose
to challenge this view.
SOME FEDERAL RAILS T
DUE-All this doesn't mean
that Congress is unsympathetic
to raising Government employe
salaries this year.
But it does mean that Con-
gress will sharply trim the ad-
ministration's requests for huge
top-level salary raises. Instead
Congress can be expected to
vote a much more modest raise
for the upper brackets, with a
more generous increase given
Ilower-salaried classified en-
ployes and postal workers than
advocated by the administra-
ton.
ADMINISTRATION PLAN

ment raises starting January l
