This promises to be a banner
year for Government employees
as far as their benefits are con-
cerned.
AS Congress returns this
week, prospects are bright for
Government pay raises as we'll
as liberalized fringe berefits.
A pay raise for Federal class
flied employees and postal
workers is regarded as virtual
ly certain. The only question
appears to be the amount.
Despite the administrators
ambitious pay plans, indica-
tons are that the pay raise
finally enacted by Congress will
be a moderate one-about 8 per
cent or so.
If the raise is extended over
a two-year period, then the
total raise might be a little
more-about 10 per cent. 1t
isn't likely that Congress will
consider a three-year install
ment pay plan.
Regarding fringe benefits,
prospects appear pretty good
for legislation on which some
action was taken last year and
which can be brought up this
year at the point to which it
has advanced.
In this category are bills to
increase Government empioye
life insurance benefits, permit
optional retirement at full an
nuitieS at age SIS after 80 year:
service, greater initial cash in
creases for classified employe!
on promotions, increased main
tenance allowance for rura
letter carriers, etc.
There also is a good Chancr
for legislation to increase tn
annuities of retired Fedora
employees and their dependent
and survivors.
Offsetting this, there may b.
some economy moves in Con
gress to trim Federal employ
ment.

conference Wednesday morn
ing a decision whether to nomi-
nate Minority Leader Halleck
to oppose Democratic Leader
Mccormack for Speaker.
Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller joined
the meeting in Mr.. Halleck's
office in the Capitol for a ses-
sion that included discussion of
matters taken up at the White
House bipartisan conference of
congressional leaders today.
Besides Mr.. Miller, who is
a New York Congressman, and
Mr.. Halleck, others at the con-
ference were Representatives
Arends of Illinois, minority
whip; Byrnes of Wisconsin,
chairman of the House Re-
publican Policy Committee;
Hoeven Of Iowa, chairman Of
the Republican Conference,
and Wilson of California,
chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign. Com
mittee.
Mr.. Miller said it is likely
that the Wednesday confer
ence of House Republicans will
decide to put up a nominee
for Speaker. Mr.. Halleck re-
marked that in such an event
he could get all 174 Repub-
lican votes" He made clear
he had no illusions about de-
feating Mr.. Mccormack as
successor to the late Speaker
Rayburn.
Mr.. Halleck declared that
any Republican statement of
the type that might be issued
following President Kennedy's
state of the Union message
Thursday should not be de-
scribed as a Republican state
Of the Union message"
He and Mr.. Miller recalled
that congressional Republicans
issued similar policy statements
in 1946 and 1850. They said
these helped to win control Of
Congress in 1918 and served
as a platform" for G. o. P

Fired in Trade Debate

council hopes to persuade
members of Congress to sup
port the Presidents liberal
trade program in the interests
of their own constituents.
U. S. Study Under Way
A Government economist in
the liberal-trade camp exam
ined the councils report and
pronounced it Crude" He
said the Commerce Depart
ment in 1858 conducted a
similar study which was
pretty well diScredlted" be-
cause Of faulty methodology.
The Commerce and Labor
Departments are collaborating
on new studies, which Govern
ment economists maintain will
have more validity. These stud
les are based on Census Bu-
reau surveys of manufacturers
to determine the value Of their
exports and the number of
employees working on these ex-
ports.
Going beyond national and
state 1lgureS, tie Government
plans to calculate export and
job statistics for more than loo
congressional districts.
/ Later this year, the Govern
ment expects to estimate the
number of jobs eliminated by
import competitors. The cou-
Gil said it has been unable tc
calculate the job impact of I'M
ports.
/ Nelson A. Stitt, a Washing.
ton lawyer who is director Of
the council, told a news confer.
ence the estimate of more thar
100000 American jobs depend
ent on exports to Japan il
1861 was based on incomplete
statistics for last year.
How Jobs Were Estimated
The councils study, USING
1860 figures, concluded tina
19O,810 American jobs wert
created by exports to Japan
Exports to Japan totaled ST.;
billion in 1860, compared witt
Sill billion of American i'm
ports from Japan, the council
said.
In 1861, the council esti'
mated, exports rose to SIT bill
lion and imports remained a
$1.1 billion. BY 1870, the coun'
Gil predicted, Japan will blu!
SO billion of goods from thu
United States and sell 2 billion
worth here.
Major United States export
to Japan in 1860. the council
said, included $219 millicl
worth of cotton, $205 million O
machinery and vehicles, SIS:
million of chemicals and re
lated products, $120 million o
iron and steel scrap, 500 million
of SoybeanS, $78 million Of pc,

Lobbyists are starting a sta
tiStical war over whether high
tariffs hurt or help American
workers.
Firing the first gun, the
United States-Japanese Trade
Council yesterday said more
than 100000 Americans depend
for their jobs on exports to
Japan.
AS a liberal-trade policy ad-
vocate, the council was trying
to deliver this message: The
United States must cut its tar
ifs on imports from Japan SO
that Japan can buy more
American goods, thus creating
more jobs here.
But o. r. Strackbein, a
leading high-tariff lobbyist,
brushed off the councils fig
ures as "sleight-of hand He
said more Americans lose their
jobs because of imports than
obtain work because of exports.
Some liberal = traders also
questioned the validity of the
councils figures, while sup
porting the organizations the
sis in principle.
This debate over jobs will be
a key factor in President Ken
nedy's compaign for legislation
to give him broad new tariff
cutting powers. His tariff
proposals were expected to be
the major topic of discussion at
today'S White House conference
with congressional leaders.
The administration antici-
pates a tough fight on tariffs,
largely because unemployment
is high-6.1 per cent of the
labor force at last count. Mr.
Strackbein and other protec-
tionists want to raise tariffs to
reduce the imports they blame
for throwing Americans out of
work.
President Kenned and
other liberal-traders maintain
that high tariffs would pro-
woke foreign retaliation, re-
ducing United States exports
and so eliminating jobs created
by sale of American goods
abroad.
In an attempt TO back up this
argument, the United States
Japan Trade Council yesterday
released a booklet entitled ia
pan Buys American in All
so States" The booklet pre-
sents results of a study pur-
porting to show how many jobs
in each State have been created
by exports to Japan.
BY estimating export-depend-
ent jobs in each State, the

$54 million of nonferrous metal
scrap and $50 million of btu
minous coal.
Breaking the figures down by
States, the council said Texas
led with $128 million Of ex-
ports to Japan, creating $4,000
jobs. California was in second
place, with $112 million of ex-
ports and 20,570 jobs.
How Washington Jared
In the Washington area, the
council estimated Virginia's ex-
ports at $40 million and jobs at
1880. Maryland exported to
Japan $40 million Of goods, on
which ITO jobs depended, &C
cording to the study. For the
District, exports were estimated
at $4,000 and jobs at 40.
Major exports were reported
as coal, chemicals and tobacco
for Virginia; metal scrap, ma
chinery, vehicles, chemicals and
petroleum products for Mary
land, and metal scraps for the
District.
Instead of conducting actual
surveys, as the Government is
doing, the council estimated
State figures in this way:
Statistics were obtained on
total United States production
of each major commodity and
on each States percentage
share of that output. That
same percentage then was ap-
piled to total United States ex-
ports of each commodity tc
Japan. to estimate each States
share of the exports.
/ Then the average value Of
output per worker in each in.
dustry was applied to each
States computed exports tt
estimate the number of work.
erS employed in production
That job figure was doubled tr
account for workers employed
in related transportation anc
other service jobs.
Undersecretary Of Labor w
Willard Wirtz last month testi.
fled before the Senate HOUSE
Economic Committee that g.
100000 American workers owl
their jobs directly to exports
Officials working on the forth,
coming Government studio
consider this estimate too low
too low.

accusations he is not allowed
to leave the country.
Diplomats and others had ex-
pected Mr.. Molotov and other
associates would suffer degra-
dalton after the attack in the
party Congress last october.
Mr.. Molotov had attempted
to fight back against the
charges by sending letter to
members of the central COM
mittee just before the Con-
gress opened last october Is,
The letter was not published
in full although extracts were
read.
But speaker after speaker at
the Congress accused him and
his confederattes of response
bility for hundreds of deaths
among the thousands of army
and party leaders caught in
Stains purges. The purges be-
gan in the 1930s and continued
through and after World
War II.
Ordered Put on Trial
After his denunciation at the
party Congress, Mr.. Molotov
and two other former Soviet
leaders were ordered put on
trial before the party for lead
ing the antiparty group against
Mr.. Khrushchev in 1857.
The other two are ex-Premiel
Georgi Malenkov and ex-Dep-
uty Premier Lazar Kaganovich
The trial was started on the
level of the party cell and il
was presumed it would find it:
way ultimately to the party
control commission. That i:
the final court of appeal from
an order of expulsion from the
party.
Mr. Molotov, Mr.. Malenkol
and Mr.. Kaganovich, a brother.
in-law of Stain, were removed
from their high positions after
the 1857 showdown with Mr.
Khrushchev.
Virtually Banished
Mr.. Molotov was virtually
banished, being sent off to Ular
Bator as ambassador to Outer
Mongolia. Mr.. Malenkov was as
signed to operate an electric
plant somewhere in Siberia. HI
last was reported still in ST.
IBERIA. Mr.. Kaganovich lives il
retirement in Moscow.
More than a year ago, Mr.
Molotov was reaSSigned to TIT

Vienna.
After his recall, Mr.. Moloto'
was replaced temporarily at tn,
atomic agency by his forme
deputy, Alexander I. Alexan

Moiotov's Return Hints
Thworted Khrushchev
BY WILLIAM L. RYAN

V. M. Molotov's return to his
diplomatic post in Vienna sug-
gestS that Premier Khrushchev
has been overruled in Moscow.
1t indicates that the collec-
tive leadership of the party,
touched upon in Mr.. Khru-
shchev's speeches to the 22d
Party Congress last October, is
a reality and that Mr.. Khru-
shchev is a sort of chairman
of the board.
BY all the portents, Mr..
Khrushchev wanted Mr.. Molo-
TOW and other members of the
antiparty group who tried to
overthrow him, including Geor-
81 Malenkov and LaZar M.
Kaganovich, placed on trial
and publicly expelled from the
party.
In one speech at the Con-
gress, Mr.. Khrushchev de-
rounCed Stains closest aSso-
ciates as men who forgot they
had a duty to carry out the
party's will. There is no room
for such leaders either in the
party or the state apparatus"
he said.
MOlOtOv Still in Party
Apparently Mr.. Molotov re-
mains in the party. He hardly
could be reassigned to his
Vienna post, however power
less it is, if he had been thrown
out in disgrace from the ruling
Soviet Party.
There was other evidence
that Mr.. Khrushchev wanted
Molotov & Co. publicly de-
graded and expelled. One in
dication came soon after the
Moscow Congress.
Reporting on the Congress to
his own Polish Communists,
Wladyslaw Gomulka reported
there was no intention of
bringing Mr.. Molotov and the
others to trial and making
them criminally responsible for
deeds aScribed to the era of
Stains cult of personality"
This speech was reported in
the official Soviet Party news
paper Pravda. But the line
about there being no intention
to try the antiparty group was
edited out of the Pravda &C
count.
Show Trials Opposed
Probably there was strong
opposition in world commu-
nism's ranks to any new show
trials such as Stain staged
against his real or imagined
enemies. even if such trials did
not end in bloodletting. Mi.
Khrushchev himself, while ap-
parently Pumping for eXpul-
sion of his opponents, went out
of his way to promise there
would be no more Stalinesque
blood purges.
Mr.. Khrushchev told the Con-
gress Mr.. Kaganovich had tele-
phoned him and pleaded not to
be treated the way Stain
treated those he defeated. Mr..
Khrushchev said he replied
that sort of thing was over; Mr..
Kaganovich would get a job
and be able to live. But he
promised no more. Surely he
did not promise Mr.. Kagano-
vich or others of the group
would remain in the party.
The differences over the anti
party group, however, crossed
international lines in the Com
munist movement. Much Com
muniSt opinion inside and out
side the U.S.S.R. opposed the
downgrading of Stain and also
Mr.. Khrushchev's new foreign
policies. which some Commu-
nistS viewed as being soft on
capitalism.
No One Man Dictator
Today the Soviet Union seems
in the odd situation of being a
dictatorship without a one-man
dictator. Occupying the top po-
sition in such a setup must en-
tail enormous problems for Mr..
KhruShchev.
The Soviet Premier carefully
has acknowledged he is not a
one-man ruler. He reminded

Nixon Accepts
Rightists' Aid,
Brown Asserts

Gov. Edmund G. Brown OF
California said today Richard
M. Nixon lis not joining the
fight against the ultraright
wing, although these extremists
are a strong force in our State
and in his party"
Mr.. Brown said the former
Vice President must choose be-
tween principle and opportun-
ism. He has chosen the latter.
He has stepped away from those
who are fighting the political
primitives, and he apparently
wants their money and sup
port"
Gov. Browns attack on Mr..
Nixon, who is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for
the California governorship,
was in a speech prepared for
delivery to the National Press
Club.
Hints He'll Run
Nowhere in his remarks did
Gov. Brown state unqualifiedly
that he will seek reelection
this year. But, he limited at it
several times and closed by say
ing:
Il have a bunch Richard
Nixon will walk into the bare
knuckle' scrap he's looking for
and I don't think you will
want to miss round of it,"
Gov. Brown introduced the
subject of the John Birch So
ciety land its extremist allies
by saying they pose a situation
in his State that seriously dis
turbs me-"
You may well note" The
Democratic Governor said
that Mr.. Nixon is not a John
Bircher, and the evidence is
that he is not"
However, Gov. Brown added
Mr.. Nixon appears on the
same platform with Birch can
didateS and assures them there
is room in the Republican Party
for people who differ He goes
even further. He promises tc
support them if they win in the
primaries.
II would hope that RESPONSE
BILE Republicans in California
will not let him walk both
sides of the street much longer
He is not fighting extremists
And the only way to meet this
issue is to fight it, in whatever
form it turns up"
Cites Birch Strength
Gov. Brown said, "One i'm.
portant unit of the Republican
Party already has swung to thu
BircherS - while Nixon anC
