Kennedy's somewhat less cost ly pay raise proposal. No Threats No one in the administra tion has brandished the threat of an election-year veto over the Morrison bill. Budget Di rector David Bell wrote the committee last week, how ever, that the measure "would not fulfill the fundamental requirements" of Kennedy's proposal. The bill would provide higher pay for more than a million civil service workers, 5H6.0fJ0 postal field service employees and smaller num bers in the foreign service, Veterans Administration, ju dicial and legislative branches. Federal employees last re ceived a pay increase in lflh'O when - Congress overrode President Dwight D. Eisen hower's veto of a $740 million pay hike. Timing Involved The conflict between the Morrison and Kennedy bills was not over the total cost. Kennedy's plan would cost $1 billion. The differences involved timing of the pay increases and the amounts to be paid to employees in the heavily staffed lower grades of the postal and civil service. The Morrison bill would provide pay hikes in two year ly installments - retroactive to July 1, l!)(i2. The last com promise plan backed by the administration would have provided three yearly install ments starting next Oct. 1. Mining Concern Denies Excessive Profits in Chrome New York - (I'M) - The pres- ceptable ferro - chromite for ent head of a mining concern U.S. industry, which was formed during the If upgraded in that manner, Korean War to produce the stockpiled chromite would chrome ore denied Wednesday that the firm had made more than 1,000 per cent profit on the contract be worth about S80 million, Pistell said. Pistell said American I Chrome has a proposal before Richard Pistell, chairman of ; the government to upgrade American Chrome Co. and of: the entire stockpile and sell it Goldfield Consolidated Corp., as market conditions justify. made the denial in replying to testimony in Washington be fore a Senate subcommittee headed by Sen. Stuart Sy mington (D-Mo.). Testimony contended that American Chrome had rea lized a profit of more than $4 million from a small invest ment on chromite delivered to the government stockpile. Pistell. who heads a group of investors who took over control of American Chrome and Goldfield a year and a half ago, said that when American Chrome was set up during the Korean War to produce chromite at Nye, Mont., S2.5 million was in vested. He said the investment was partly in cash and partly by guaranteeing large bank loans that since have been paid off. "The facts are that, at great risk to the company, the re turn was about 9 per cent a year, which in a mining ven ture is very conservative," Pistell said. Pistell also denied conten tions that the ore was "nearly worthless." He said the gov ernment has about $31 mil lion invested in the chrome ore, which, admittedly, is low grade. He .said American Chrome recently spent .$1.5 million to build a pilot plant and had demonstrated that the chrom ite could be upgraded into ac- Committee Hears of Long Wait For Estes' Kepiy To Challenge oreign Inefs I U.

Government press spokesman Karl Guenther Von Hase said a higher figure would be "unrealistic and not feasible." Northwest Turkey Growers Seek Cut In Grain Prices Washington - IUPII - A dele gation of Pacific Northwest lawmakers and spokesmen for the region's turkey growers today asked Agriculture Sec retary Orville L. Freeman to take steps to reduce feed grain prices there. The group told Freeman at a meeting in his office that feed supplies in the area were tight and prices had risen. Since feed grains are a basic raw material in turkey pro duction, the group said, tur key growers in Oregon, Wash ington, and Idaho were at a disadvantage in competing with Mid-West producers. Agriculture Depar t m e n t spokesmen said Freeman took the request under considera tion but made no commit ments. The department could, if it approved the plea, move stocks of government-owned feed grains into the area. Al ternately, it could ask rail roads to cut freight rates for shipment of grain into the Northwest. The Congressional delega tion calling on Freeman in cluded Democratic Sens. Wayne Morse and Maurine Nouberger, both of Oregon, Warren G. Magnuson of Wash ington, and Frank Church of Idaho, several House mem bers, and James Hill, of Pen dleton, Ore. Washington-JUPD-Senate in vestigators were told today that the government chal lenged the cotton allotments of Billie Sol Estes and cer tain other farmers and then waited three months without action to see if Estes would comply. The testimony was given by Joseph A. Moss, director of the cotton division for the department's Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion Service. Moss told the Senate inves tigations subcommittee "the burden was on Estes" after the Agriculture Denartment I asked the Texas farm tycoon to certify the validity of his cotton allotment transfers on Jan. 31, 1962. Moss' comment did not sit well with Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.). McClel lan said Estes had more than 3.000 acres of transferred cot ton allotments and was "the man under the greatest suspicion." "I'm putting the burden on you." McClellan commented acidly. He said that Moss, as head of the cotton division, could have set up a meeting with Estes or wired him to find out if he planned to sign a cer tification. "The procedure did not contemplate any further ac- Strike Against Beer Distributors Brewing Portland - (UPL - A strike aeainst the Oregon Beer Dis tributors Association is brew ing.
