Morse Favors
Office Union
MILWAUKEE, March 20 (A)
Lack of organization has caused
the nation's white collar workers
to suffer more than any other
group in the lower pay brackets,
Sen. Wayne Morse (R-Ore.) said
last night.
Speaking at the first annual
convention of the Office Em
ployes International union, AFL,
the Oregon senator said he be
lieved organization of office
workers would spread in the
near future to several millions
"who today do not share any
equality of collective bargaining
benefits with industrial work
ers." Considering what he termed
standard of living legislation
pending before congress, Morse
said "the same reactionary forces
which have all alone foucht the
organizing of white collar work
ers and workers generally are
again opposing a minimum stan
dard of living for low-paid work
ers which the pending 65 cent
minimum wage bill seeks to provide.

Pay Boost For
Services Asked
WASHINGTON, March 20 '(Jf)
Congress was urged by secre
taries of war and navy today to

up.
2. Modern warfare is a highly
technical business calling for
men with greater skills and edu
cation than were required a few
years ago.
Secretary of War Patterson
said, too, that a higher rate of
pay for enlisted men would
stimulate enlistments.
. Secretary of the Navy For
restal told the. committee the
navy is losing high ranking offi
cers every day because of more
attractive financial offers in civil
ian life.
