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.

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.

recently spent .$1.5 million to

demonstrated that the chrom

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

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-
