adjourn and let its members go
home:
1. What to do about making
membership In the communst
partv a crime.
2. What to do about upping social
security benefits.
3. How much money to provide
for foreign aid.
Of the three, the communist
party membership bill is the most
important in an election year, De
cause its purpose is to make it
clear to the voters that everybody
running for reelection is against
communism just as everybody is
'against sin.
As the august senators faced H In.

party has fought to expand it.
The bill will extend social secu

people in America, whether they
are employed by others or are
self-employed.
The biggest new group brought
into the system comprise 3.600.000
farmers and 2,100,000 additional

Farm coverage aroused a last
minute controversy in the Senate

firm on this point and finally won

burst of legislating and oratory,
the 83rd Congress has1 broken for

gress sent Eisenhower a social se
curity bill just about as he asked
for it and a federal workers pay

when, by voice vote, it completed
congressional action on a bill to
bring another 10 million persons
under social security and to boost
both benefit payments and the tax
es that support them.
However, it stayed around for
another 3 hours and 12 minutes
as some of the senators got some
unai remarKs ou tneir chests, it
also confirmed a few more post

Unlike the House, however, the
Senate still has some unfinished
business to dispose of later in the
year.
The Senate authorized its Repub

recall it into session sometime in
the fall to consider a report of a
special committee studying cen

Boost In Salaries
Faces Possible
Presidential Veto
By WILLIAM F. ARBOCAST
WASHINGTON ( Rouahlv a
million and a half government
workers crossed their fingers Sat
urday, anxious for word from Pres
ident Eisenhower on a last-minute
act ot congress to raise their pay.
ine president s coneressional
leaders Sen. Knowland (R-Calif)
and Rep. Halleck (R-Ind) de
scribed the chief executive as on-
posed to the measure which calls
for an average 5 per cent salary
increase, but no accomnamdng
postal rate boost urged by the ad
ministration. And a White House official who
wouldn't be identified publicly
commented: "It looks like we'U
have to veto it, doesn't 'it?"
A veto would stick, because Con
gress has adjourned. -
Knowland's strong prediction of
a veto didn't keep the Senate from
passing the bill by a'rollcall vote
of 69-4.
Nor did Halleck's statement that
the President hasn't changed his
position prevent the House from
whisking it through by voice vote
in less man a minute.
The President's nosition has been
that any bill increasing pay should
be accompanied by a hike in postal
rates to help defray the estimated
380 million dollar cost. "
The Senate specifically refused
to tack a 240-miIlion-dollar postal
rate boost onto tne Dill. Knowland's
amendment to do that lost by
vote of 55-16.
The postal rate increase wasn't
even suggested in the House Fri
day, me House turned down a
similar proposal just a month ago.1
Tne raises are due to become ef
fective the first full pay period aft
er the bill becomes law if it
does.
Beneficiaries would be 500.000
postal workers, plus about a mil
lion civil service and congressional
employes. .
Postal employes would each get
minimum annual raise of $200
and a maximum of $400. The other
would get not less than $170 nor
more than $440.
