WASHINGTON OB The United

on Red China for release of 41
American civilians from their "un
warranted detention" . behind the
"Bamboo Curtain.
The State Department announced

Back Harlan
WASHINGTON jB Sen. Neu
berger CD-Ore) said Tuesday he
will vote to confirm appointment
of Judge John Marshall Harlan to
the Supreme Court despite Oregon
opposition. -
The senator, in a statement, said
he had disclosed his support for
Harlan in a letter to V. O. Stira-
weis, Portland manufacturer who
had opposed ! the nomination
because of Harlan's "supposed
views on world affairs and racial
discrimination."
Neuberjzer rejected Stirnweis'
objections based on Harlan's back
ground as a Rhodes scholar and
a member of the Advisory Council
of the Atlantic Union, as well as
criticism of Harlan's judicial
background.
Of the better, the senator said:
"He has had some judicial
experience and far more than that
enjoyed by many recent appointees
(to the court). j
Neuberger said seven of the
eight members of the Supreme
Court had no judicial experience
whatever prior to serving on it.
C. Gowen presented the demand
to Acting Consul General; Shen
Ping of Communist China! in a
two-hour meeting in a hotel at
Geneva, Switzerland, ? Monday.

ations as "a continuing effort" to

general. Dae Hammarskjold, to
obtain freedom for American uiers
who fought under the U. N, com
mand at Korea and were captured
and: imprisoned by the Chinese
Cnnrimunists. ; I l

were still in the running at a
semi-finals of ; The Statesman-
KSLM Spelling j semi-finals here
Tuesday night when all 300 pre-;
vicusly published words, compri
sing the basic list, were exhausted.
It took 20 new' and unfamiliar
words to settle the issue.
The four were, in the left-to-
right order in which they were
sitting on the stage, Carl Graffen

Carl spelled "calendar;" Susan
spelled "thermometer;" Carol
spelled "ghastly;" Linda missed
"competitor.

eliminate Linda; Susan missed

One Word Voided
Only complication of the evening
came when the top four still were
in the ! 300 published words. Carl
inadvertently received the word
"efficiency" out of turn. He missed
it and Susan spelled it, but at
that moment Principal Dorothy
Suing, 1 a "neutral" insofar as
either Carl, or Susan was concern
ed, noticed the oversight and call
ed It to, attention.
As a- result, the word was void
ed and a new: word was called
for Linda to whom, the word
"efficiency" should nave been
given. The new worn" "parachute'
which Linda spelled was the1 one
she would have been given the
next time around so there was no
change in the order of words.
Around 150 persons witnessed
the contest Piano solos were given
at recesses by Rickreall students.
"Swiss Waltz" Was played by Na

WASHINGTON ( - Congress
voted itself a 50 per cent pay
raise Tuesday. The House stamped
final approval on a salary bill
which also provided increases for
ederal judges and prosecutors.
Acting quickly on a compromise
measure worked out in conference
with the Senate Monday, the House
voted 223-113 to boost congression
al salaries from $15,000 to $22,500
a year. ?
The measure now goes to Presi
dent Eisenhower for virtually cer
tain approval. Eisenhower himself,
as had a presidential commission
before him, told senators and rep-J
resentatives in January the time
had come to allow themselves
more money. ;
Eisenhower didn't recommend
specific amount The $7,500 fin
ally agreed upon was the amount
chosen by. the Senate last week
and' retained in the settlement of
differences with the House.
Congress last voted its members
a raise in 1946, when the rate was
$10,000 a sear. .
The legislation as finally enact
ed retains a $3,000 tax deduction
designed to offset costs of living
in Washington as well as back
home. -The 96 senators and 435
representatives also will be reim
bursed for one round-trip home at
20 cents a mile.
Vice President Nixon and House
Speaker Rayburn (D Tex) - will
receive $5,000 more than their
present $10,000 a year.
The over-all cost would be just
shy of lour", million dollars for
Congress alone.
Increase for Judges
Raises : for some 400 federal
judges range from $7,500 to $10,
000, lifting district jurists to $22,
500 and Chief Justice Warren to
$35,500.
The maximum for U. S. attor
neys goes from $15,000 to $20,000
and their assistants from $12,500
to $15,000. Atty. Gen. Brownell
may decide how much each should
get. ;
i Salem's sooth station Firemen
Tuesdays" went twice to the same
building once to attend to a
chimney buVning out and onc& to
adjust a damper. j
i The first call was at 12:05 p.m.

St., reported the chimney trouble
in his. apartment house. At 8:43
p.m.x Mrs: Lee Myers, worried
about smoke in the room, sum
moned firemen again. , j ,

Veteran student actors. Eliza

Playing onaitage arranged
In arena "style, , giving the per-
ormance intimacy not ' possible
in standard theater productions,
proved especially effective in this
drama. '
Elizabeth Winshio as the voune
servant girl gave an excellent per
formance, reminiscent of her ap
pearance as Electra of last year,
Robert Alfred played the dra
matic part of the canon with
equal excellence, though with less
assurance. David Finlay made a
convincing dissenter in the per
son of Schoolmaster O Flingsley.
Two young priests were Theo
dore Primrose and George -Nel
son. Jean Thomas, Lois Wicker

meyer and Barbara Ruhl were
the supporting players. ;
The play is an intense drama
of a small group of Irish folk
