Senate Approves
Pay Increase Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Senate accepted the latest com
promise on congressional pay
Monday and approved by voice
vote a 50 per cent raise for all
senators and members of the
House.
Under the adjusted bill, the
legislators would draw $22,500
a year instead of their present
$15,006. The measure also pro
vides increases ranging from
$7,500 to $10,000 annual!y for
judges and some other federal
officials.
The House had adjourned for
the day when the Senate voted,
and it is not expected to act on
the bill until Wednesday.
Originally the House approved
a raise of $10,000 a year for mem
bers of Congress. The Senate
figure was $7,500.
The first Senate-House con
ference committee which worked
on the conflicting versions came
up with a compromise providing
for $7,-500 plus a $1,250 tax-frft^
expense allowance. The House ac
cepted this, but the Senate turned
it down last Friday, many mem
bers objecting to the tax free
aHowance provision.
At another compromise session
Monday, House members agreed
to delete the $1,250 allowance
and senators gave ground by
eliminating a section which would
Pave given the legislators ex
penses for five additional round
trips to their districts each year.

Barkley Seeks Rescue
Off Income Tax Cut Bill
WASHINGTON (AIM Sen.
Alben Barkley (D-Ky) Bought
with a new compromise plan
Monday to rescue the $20-a-per
son income tax cut from death
in the Senate finance committee.
Barkley proposed that the cut
be reached in easy stages, with
a $10 reduction being allowed
for every taxpayer ami depend
ent in 1956, $15 in 1957 and $20
in 1958.
His motion, and other commit
tee action on the House-passed
bill, was put off until Tuesday
afternoon. The committee will
hear a pro-reduction witness
Tuesday.
Sen. Smathers (D-Kla) an-1
nounced the witness would be
Leon Keyserling, who was chair
man of the Council of Economic
Advisers under former President
Trufan. He is now an economic
consultant and attorney.
Keyserling has advocated re
cently that the federal govern
ment take steps to boost con
sumer purchasing power, con
tending that the economy is lag
ging well behind levels needed
for full employment.
Chairman Harry Byrd (D-Vai,
who opposes granting the reduc
tion while the government Is op
erating in the led. was asked if
he still believed the committee
would eliminate it.
"I don't feel badly about the
situation,” he responded. -!
Sen. George (D-Gm, former
chairman, announced: "T aha II
vote to, strike out of the bill the
$20 provision. If Inter an ImpaaMe
develops between the House and
Senate over terms of the meas
ure, l might have Home sugges
tions at that time. However, I
have no compromise to offer
now."
Assuming that the Republicans
on the committee voted against
the $20 cut, which is opposed by
the Eisenhower administration,
the votes of George and Byrd
would seal the verdict. There are
eight Democrats and seven Re.
publicans on the committee.
If the Senate should approve
a bill continuing present corpo
ration and excise tax rates, with
out the $20 income tax cut —
which is what George udvocated
there could Is- an impasse with
the House.
Rep. Dingell (D-MIchl, mem
ber of the House Ways and
Means committee which drafted
the combination bill passed by
the House Friday, said:
"So far as I am concerned, un
less the $20-a-peraon reduction
is agreed to. there will Is- no tax
bill at all. I would just as soon
see the excise taxes die, because
I am against them anyway."

These words broadcast over Radio Free

How do “Truth Dollars** fight
Communism ? By exposing Red lies ...
revealing news suppressed by Moscow and
by unmasking Communist collaborators.
The broadcasts are by exiles in the native
tongues of the people to whom they are
beamed.
Radio Free Europe is hurting Commu
nism in its own back yard. We know by
Red efforts to “jam” our programs (so far
without success). To successfully continue
these broadcasts, even more transmitters
are needed.
Every dollar buys 100 words of
truth. That’s how hard “Truth Dollars”
work. Your dollars will help 70 million
people resist the Kremlin. Keep the truth
turned on. Send as many “Truth Dollars”
