Senate Risks Veto,
Passes Wage Hike
Foh lL S. Postmen
WASHINGTON UP) The Senate Wednesday overwhelmingly
passed and sent to the White House a bill to give an 8.8 per cent
average pay boost to half a million postal workers.
- There were strong indications President Eisenhower would
veto it as too liberal a salary hike and tm grounds the measure does
not eliminate pay inequities the administration says exist

HR 1 (to extend the ' trade
agreements act) has furnished
the toughest battle of any meas
ure in the current session of the
Congress. It didn't get as much
publicity as other items of busi
ness, but the in-fighting was bit
ter and prolonged. Members of
both Houses and particularly
those vho were on the commit
tees which considered it Ways
and Means in the House, Finance
in the Senate had their arms
and legs ' pulled two ways by
friends ; and foes of this legisla
tion. In one test vote in the House
the bill survived by only one vote
though on final passage the vote
was 295 to 110. The Senate

The principal features .of the'
bill are: extension of authority

mission for the President to make
elective tariff cuts of five per
cent a year for three years from

by 'the domestic fuel producers

DETROIT (JB Parke,' Davis
and Co. said Wednesday night' it
has developed what it -expects o
be an improved ; version of the
Sauc polio vaccine. -
" The Vaccine is being used in
voluntary trials' in De Witt County,
Illinois, the , company said. The
trials are sponsored by the pharm
aceutical company in conjunction
with the Illinois Department of
Health, j -
A spokesman for Parke. Davis
said the new version of the vac
cine was developed bythe com
pany's research staff. He said it
contains an "additive" which will
cause it to be absorbed into the
blood stream more slowly.
Such a process, the spokesman
said, should provide a longer pe
riod of immunity and also increase
the effectiveness of the vaccine.
This is the second series of
Parke, Davis tests in Illinois. The
company ran tests of the standard
1934 vaccine, at Jdliet
The spokesman said the vaccine

The 66-11 margin by which the
Senate passed the bill and the 328
66 margin by which the House ap
proved it Monday would provide
the necessary two-thirds to over:
ride any veto. However, a presi
dential veto might swing . many
votes ' from ' support - of the pay
boost. V' '-' '.- '
The measure' is a compromise
of different bills passed by the
Senate and House earlier. -
The estimated annual cost of the
pay boost is about 178 million dol
lars. It is to be followed in Con
gress by . a pay raise bill for a
million classified Civil Service
workers.
Republican congressional lead
ers have said they understood the
White House never would go above
a 7.6 per cent pay hike. Post
master General Summerfield has
said he would urge the President
to veto the 8.8 per cent bill,
However, the Senate passed a
10 per cent bill and the House an
$.3 per cent measure. The bill sent

worked out from these two meas
ures. Sen Morse (D Ore) told the
Senate that threats of a presi

forts to, "bludgeon" Congress into
line .on the bill.
"Let him veto it," Morse said.
"I'm for taking the issue to the
people, he. added.
Court Upholds
Voter Change
InTax Base
J The Oregon supreme, court ruled
Wednesday that voters in any local
taxing district can establish. a new
tax base under a 1992 "constitu
tional 'amendment--. -: -The
decision-held that the voters
of- Mulnomah County school- dis
trict No.: 1 had the 'right to authorize-
a tax Vvy of $11,704,644
at a special election May 21,' 1954.
The suit was brought ' by the
school' directors against the -tax
supervising and conservation com
mission of Multnomah County.
The tax. supervising commission
argued that the; district couldn't
levy a tax of more than $11,190,000
plus - six per cent This commis
sion pointed to the constitutional
provision that tax levies cant ex
ceed the, highest levy tuning the
preceding three-year- period plus
6 per cent, . -..
But the supreme court: in a de
cision by Justice Earl C. Latour-
ette, said that the 1932 amendment
allows the people to vote them
selves a new tax base' ';.'
The tax supervising commission
contended that this 1932 amend
ment was ambiguous and unclear.
The decision-which upheld Cir
cuit Court Judge Lowell Mundorff
of Multnomah County, will have
far-reaching - effects on many
school districts. ; :
It ; means that these districts,
which now are forced to have an
nual special elections to get money
for their budgets, now will be able
to adopt higher tax bases, and thus
make the special budget elections
unnecessary. r

ment ventilating equipment sent
smoke swirling through rooms in
the ' 12-story Benson Hotel here
Wednesday afternoon.
The blaze was quickly put out
and no one was injured. The worst
consequence - was a traific jam
caused by the fire -alarm and
arrival of equipment in the area
around" the hotel. Hundreds o f
spectators gathered as thick smoke
drifted from the roof. j
There was no general evacuation
of the hotel although 230
clubwomen were forced from a
luncheon table by the smoke.
A spark from a flame ; torch
being used by two workmen to
clean a blower apparently ignited
grease which had accumulated in
the ventilating machinery- The
workmen put out the fire with hand
extinguishers before, firemen
arrived..

Inheritance of
$734,918 Fails
To Jar Familv
TACOMA Ul Did you ever
wonder what you would do if some
dne dropped, a million -dollars
or three-quarters of a million
in your, lap?
Take a look at the John J. Don-
ohues. They aren't doing much of
anything about it. No handsprings;
no exuberant laughter around their
plain little home; no shouts of Joy
that anyone could hear over their
sudden and unexpected metamor
phosis from a family that was
"just getting by" to one of wealth.
"Did you say we'd inherit $734,-
918" asked Donohue. a soft-spoken.
gray-haired son of Ireland who
had been a truck driver unto he
hurt his back several months ago.
The surprising inheritance came
to light in the official report on
the estate of William C. Stedmond,
a farmer who also was a soq of
old Eire and previously had been
an heir himself.
Stedmond left aH but $5,000 of
his estate to his good friends, the
Donohues. The estate attorney esti
mated the Donohues will get about
$300,000 after all taxes are paid.
"This is the first we'd heard
of the size of Bill's estate," said
the overalls-clad head of the house
of Donohue, as he sat in the spa
cious house on the 13-acre Sted
mond farm. ;
"He . was our -dearest friend,"
Mrs. Donohue added, "and, I guess
we were his dearest friends, too."
Mrs. Donohue explained that she
and her husband were born in
County Galway, Ireland, and Sted
mond had lived in Wexford, Ire
land, and had been educated as a
lawyer before he came to the Uni
ted States, . The - Donohues who
have a 16-year-old son, said Sted
mond, a widower, had inherited a
large estate from an aunt in New
York.
"He told us he was naming us
as his heirs," said Mrs.' Donohue,

President Cautions World Against
Over-Optimism 'If Meeting Held
' ; ' ' , By ED CREAGH , . ..
' WASHINGTON (JPh-President Eisenhower said Wednesday the
proposjd Jit-the-summit Big Four meeting could clear the air some
what and show whether the Russians sincerely want to ease ten
sions "around the world."
; : The President told a news conference, however, the whole thing
still is in an 'exploratory and experimental stage. He cautioned
against a "stubborn" refusal to expect any good from- the idea, but
he added in tones that suggested little enthusiasm: -.,
- "There is no expectation on my part that in a few hours, a few;
days, or a few weeks this world is going to be turned around
by no means. And I am not going, if I do go, under any such
thought" . v r
This "if note cropped lip several times as the President an
swered questions stemming from Tuesday's call by the Western
powers for a meeting of Eisenhower, British Prime Minister Eden,
French Premier Faure and Soviet Premier Bulganin in an effort
to remove ""sources of conflict". 0
- The Soviets have not yet replied to the Anglo-American-French"
bid, which represented a change in 'American policy. Previously the
President had opposed any early top level meeting at least until
after the four foreign ministers had laid the groundwork.
. Asked why he changed his mind, the President spoke of "a
growing sentiment" throughout the world "a vague feeling some
good might come out of such a conference." ;
With great emphasis, he said "this business of trying to reach
a clarification of issues, if such' a thing is possible, is so important
that you can't stand on any other principle except to do your utmost
as you preserve your own strength of position."

NATO Nations Call for"
Armistice in Far East
By BRACK CURRY '
PARIS (iP) The 15 nations of the Atlantic alliahce called Wed-
nesday for a truce in the Far East and a Big Four agreement on
European problems to end the threat of World War. III. .
V They solemnly warned that further fighting in Asia will "clear
ly endanger the peace of the world." The dispute over Formosa
obviously was uppermost in their minds, though that issue was not
spelled out in their final statement ! I
They told the United States, Russia, Britain and France tha't
the reunification of Germany and a general disarmament agree
ment should be their main tasks at the Four-Power "meeting at
the summit" proposed by the Western powers.'
The call for an end to the hot war in Asia and the cold war
in Europe was issued by the council of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization NATO.
In a three-day meeting, the council composed of the foreign
ministers of the NATO nations made a sweeping review of Eas
West problems and admitted West Germany at NATO's 15th mem
ber. . .... ,f. , .
. The ministers, in their final communique, hailed the addition
of West : Germany's 50 million people to the Atlantic community
and the formation of the seven-nation West European Union WEU
as steps which will promote peace. .. . -
v-w Speaking" in London, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, supreme AllieaT
commander in Europe, said NATO will be able "to prevent the
overrunning of Europe" with the addition of 500,000 German troops
to his forces within thee to four years. At the same time, Soviet
