The Senate Foreign Rela.
tons Committee mapped planI
today for hearings on proposal;
designed to tighten restrictions
on paid United States agents
for foreign interests.
Chairman Fulbright, Demo-
crat Of Arkansas, announced
that public hearings would be
held November 1921 as he re-
leased testimony from the last
Of a series Of closed hearings
conducted by the committee
last spring into the activities Of
lobbyists for foreign govern
ments and businesses.
The testimony concerned Ju-
Illus Klein Public Relations
Inc, Of Chicago. which rep
resents various West German
interests. It also has offices in
New York, Washington and
Frankfurt, Germany.
The Testimony
In his testimony, presented
to the committee May IA, Gen.
Klein. a retired major general,
told the Senators that most OF
his firms activities shave been
directed at advising our Ger
man friends on how best To
present the issues to the United
States-to make them under
stand the problems within the
United States in regard to mat
tiers Of commerce, trade and
tourism."
Senator Fulbright charged
that Gen. Klein's description Of
the society merely as "a COM
mittee representing German
industrialists and civic leaders
Is not in compliance with re-
quirements that agents for for
eign interests identify the prin'
cipal they represent.

agreed to pay his organization

The remaining $4,000 is
proposed for building and
euuipping q new cottage at
Junior Village to provide ad-
ditional space to relieve over
crowding.
Measures being taken to
place more children in foster
homes are expected eventually
to reduce the population at

House said. This. together

n on-d dependent husbands.
These women now have to pay
higher premiums than other
employees.
POSTAL WORKERS DO
'WELL-Postal workers did
especially well in the pay raise
bill approved by the House
Civil Service Committee.
Not only would they receive
substantial raises. but the COM
mittee approved Q provision
which would enable many Of
them in pay levels one through
six TO advance another pay step
when the bill becomes law, thus
assuring them another increase
Of at least $165,
Since postal workers in the
old longevity steps lost their
anniversary dates when the
pay system was changed under
last years law, the Hous e
group last week adopted q pro-
vision giving additional pay
step increases to employees who
had sufficient weeks Of service
to their credit.
Employees who had 1892
weeks Of service as Of October
Is, 1862, would be placed In top
step IL; those with e36 weeks
in step IL; 7e0 weeks step 10;
624 step 8; 46S step 8; 364 step
Z; $50 step 6; l56 step 5; 104
step 4; 50 weeks, step 3.
This would be q one-shot ar
rangement to become effective
when the bill became law. After
that, employees would be adj
vanced in salary steps accord
ing to the tim e requirement
provisions Of the present law.
The bill provides one-y e al
step increases up to step z on
all present postal pay levels.

The city's fiscal experts have
suggested several means Of
balancing the budget. They in
clude such things as tax in

After the Commissioners
adopt a budget it must then go
to the Federal Budget Bureau
for approval and forwarding
to Congress.

that he frequently acted on the
basis Of patriotic motives.
Senator Fulbright commented:
"when you are paid very
substantial fees to represent
German clients, and you per-
form activities In the public
relations field which are clearly
in their interests and in accord
with their policies. it would
seem to me the presumption is
pretty strong that you were
doing that in pursuance OF that
obligation rather than just as a
patriot" -

When Congress returns Il
work on January 2, the fill

resumed. Adjournment on that
date and the conyening Of the

would not affect the status Of
the House-approved bill or the

For practical purposes. lead

any civil rights action until
after Mr.. Kennedy's state-of-
the-U message has been
delivered.
But then the controversy
would be on again for an un-
determined number Of weeks.
Action on other Kennedy
program proposals in this ses-
sion also may be affected by
the civil rights controversy, this
time In the House.
The Senate has passed mass
transportation, youth refrain
ing. domestic peace corps. area
redevelopment and wilderness
preservation bills. Some of
these are tied up in the House
Rules Committee and others in
legislative committees.
Even their sponsors win be
surprised If they get clearance
in time for any final vote this
year.
Action on health care for the
elderly and aid to elementary
schools has been delayed until
1864, If it comes then.
There Is no congressional
ageement at this point on q

ment, they were told.
Most memorable of all,
however, was participation on
May 3 in solemn ceremonies
marking Hollands Day of Re-
membrance of those who lost
their lives in the World Wars.
Held in Amsterdam, the
service took place in the Old
Lutheran Church on the Spui
and at the National Monu-

where Queen Juliana and
Prince Bernhard led in the
placing of wreaths.
With a section reserved in
the church for members of
the Holland Society, its Of

later, were fourth in protocol
in the laying of wreaths, he
said.
The Stars and Stripes and
the colors of the Holland So
ciety also led the procession
of dignitaries and representa-
tives Of other nations from
the church to the monument.
I'VE had no idea we would
be accorded such honors, Mr..
Van Arsdale said.
In between such formal oc-
casions, Holland Society
members visited such attrac-
tons Of the Netherlands as
the tulip fields, art galleries,
a cheese farm, Royal Delft
china factory, diamond-cut-
ting factory and the famous
auction sheds at Aalsmeer,
where hot house flowers are
sold for export to various
parts of the world.

In fact, they found so
much to enjoy in the land
of their forefathers that per-

group elected to remain in
Holland for another week or

On the last day Of their

hospitality they had enjoyed
by giving a dinner In the
