HEARINGS
BEGIN ON
ARMY PAY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—
(AP)—A military pay bill hand
ing fat raises 1o high brass, and
comething to almost all ranks,
started out today on thg rocky
road of congressional hearings.
The House Armed Services
Committee called Secretary of
Defense Forrestal to Capitol Hill
as the first witness.
The bill, not yet approved by
the Federal BPudget Bureau,
would cost the government an
estimatad $400,000,000 more a
vear in active duty pay for the
Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines,
Coust Guard. Public Health Ser
vice, and Coast and Geodetic
Survey. These are the nation’s
«yniformed services.”
Service pay would be upped
an average of 14 percent. The
actual increases would range
from 3.03 percent for Army pri
vates, and their equivalent in the
other services, to 49.58 percert
for brigadier generals, rear admi
rals, and others of comparable
rank.
Only the Army’s recruits, and
Navy “boots,” the lowest of all
on the enlisted ladder, would get
nothing. Under present regula
tions, they are automatically pro
moted to the next enlisted grade
after their first six months’ ser
vice.
The bill is the product of an
all-civilian commission - appoint
ed last year by Forrestal to
«rvey the entire subject of mil
itarv pay and pensions. The com
mission, headed by Charles R
Hook, a steel industry executive,
recommended — genergl increases
in a report last December.
Military pay should be com
parable to civilian pay for jobs of
similar responsibility “so far as
practicable,” the Hook commis
sion said. It added, however, that
this should not be carried out all
the way to the top grades because
of the danger of “developing a
favored military class.”
The commission said the pay of
top officers has been increased
little since the last general re
vision in 1908. In the same period,
it added, pay of the upper enlisted
grades has doubled, and that of
the lowest enlisted ranks quad
rupled. .
The bill would cut drastically
the flight and submarine pay for.
generals and admirals, but" boost
it a little for second lieutenants
and ensigns.

“Ilamingo”
Jumps Rails
CHATSWORTH, Ga., Feb. 21—
(AP)—Eight cars of the south
bound Louisville and Nashville
“Flamingo” derailed five miles
south of here today, but no one
was injured.
The rear unit of the diesel loco~
motive of the fourteen car train
also derailed. An embankment
kept the cars from overturning.
W. A. West, I & N agent here,
said the train was on schedule and
was not going fast when the acci
dent happened at Ramhurst, at
6:53 a. m. (EST). He said a de
fective rail apparently caused the
derailment. Two passenger coach
es, five express cars and a mail
car left the track.
FREEZING BLAST PLUGS THREAT
OF RISING FLOODS IN MID - WEST
By The Associated Press
A timely recurrence of cold weather has plugged rising
lood w&ters along streams in the Midwest today as mili
rary operations continued to shrink the blizzard disaster
irea.
+The freezing weather stopped
the runoff from metitng snow with
some Nebraska counties on the
verge of another impending dis
aster, this time from overflowing
streams. The colder weather was
expected to hold out through to
day, at least, allowing needed time
for, the high water to roll down
stream. " TR “
At the same time, Gen. Lewis
A. Pick, commanding snow-re
moval operations, said the emer
gency appeared to have passed in
six South Dakota counties, long
snowbound, and that he had re
commended demobilization of men
and machinety there. °
Some North Dakota counties
’still remained to be dug out, how
ever, and Gen. Pick said more
‘equipment was being sent into that
area. He said 1,031 men and 229
heavy pieces of snow-moving
equipment were in operation there.
The worst Nebraska flooding oc
curred in the vicinity of Falls City,
where the Nemaha river and other
smaller streams had inundated a
total of 23 square miles. At Agen
cy, Mo., the Platte river was re
ported out of its banks. |
The Willamette river and its
tributaries which had flooded up
per valley lowlands in Oregon al
so were falling substantially.
The last of the guests who had
been marooned for six days be
hind 50-foot snowdrifts at a Mt.
Hood ski resort near Timberline,
Ore., left for their homes yester
day.

LOST IN ADJOURNAMENT RUSH
Home Rule Bill, Highway System
Vote Hightlight ‘Dead’ Proposals
ATLANTA, Feb. 21.—(AT)—The piie of legislation left over or discarded by the
General Assembly today contained two significant pieces — home rule and a Senate
refusal to let the people vote on a highway system.
In those last, frantic moments before Saturday’s adjournment, the failure to pass a
municipal home rule bill gained relatively scant attention.
’ And just about buried was the
'Senate fight over a rider on the
tax referendum resolution to let
the people decide:
1. Whether they want a three
or five-man Constitutional High
way Board appointed by the Gov
ernor.
2. Continuation of the present
Highway Board which provides
for political appointments. »
3. A 10-man Constitutional
Highway Board named by the
General Assembly with one ‘x'nem-‘
ber from each of the Congressional |
districts. |
Had the rider been passed and
approved by the House, it would
have pitted two ideas at the polls
—that of Gov. Herman Talmadge
and Sen. J. Knox Gholston of
Comer.
It was Gholston’s firnal effort to
obtain action on a program he has
spent six years and $6,000 of per
sonal funds fighting to get passed.
‘He advocates a 10-man board,
‘Talmadge a three or five man|
board. 1
Gholston’s actiod caught the ad
ministration momentarily off bai
ance.
Said Gholston, “Let’s give the
people, a break, let’s let them say
what kind of highway system they
want.” ;
Administration Floor Leader
Crawford Pilcher of Warrenton
came. rushing into the fight.
Pilched said that a joint com
| mittee had been appointed to
study a highway plan and report
to the next regular session in 1950.
Pilcher also charged that by
tacking on the amendment, the
whole tax referendum might be
killed since the House would have
little time to act on it.
“The people,” said Pilcher, “are
not informed as to what these
lconstitutionai highway plans are”

—(AP)—A dramatic footrace
with a freight train ended in
death yesterday for Clyde El
liott Murray, 51-year-old vet
eran of Warld War L. : ”
Witnesses said Murray started
across a long trestle about a
mile and a half east of Black

ing, turned back, and began
running.
About -15 feet from the tres

If Murray had not fallen, the
witnesses added, he would have

Failure of the Senate to act on
the home rule bill brought a bitter
charge by Rep. Charles Gowen of
Brunswick that tae fault lay with
Lt. Gov. Marvin Griffin, the Sen
ate president.
Griffin denied the charge vigor-~
ously to the applause of the Sen
ate. Sen. Spence Grayson of
Savannah observed that Griffin
had acted wisely.
If the measure had reached the
floor, said Grayson, “T would have
talked very long.”
The home rule bill remains in
the same position on the Senate
calendar, ready for action at the
Jan. 16,'1950, regular session.

NORWAY TO.JOIN WEST
IN “PROTECTION” TALKS
Nation Votes
To Defy New
Red Warnings
: BY AKE FEN
OSLO, Norway, Feb. 21.—(AP)
—Norway has decided to risk
Russia’s- displeasure and cast her
lot with the West by ioining the
North Atlanitc defense talks.
Despite Soviet warnings, the
dominant Labor Party has ap
proved . the pro-Western foreign
policy: of Foreign Minister Hal
vard M.: Lange. The vote, at a
party mee&ing was 229 to 33, but
the opposition yesterday decided
to make+the vote unanimous.
Parliamentsry . approval, - which
still-is .n%essary, is expected this
week. Al | parties . except the
small Communist. representation
are backing Lange's policies.
Observers sdid it is only a
guestion of time hefore Norway
joined the North Atlanitc pact
negotiations in progress in Wash
ington. They said the U. S. time
table probably would be the de
ciding factor on when the Nor
wegians join.
Lange emphasized the belief
that it is necessary for Norway
te turn to the West for protecticn
because he believes the United
Nations alone is not capable of
ensuring ppace.
Norway's leaders feel a reg
ional defense system cifers more
protection for small nations. But
they rejected a Scandinavian pact
with ‘Sweden and Denmark be
cause they believed that too
could not afford them the secu
rity they need wunless it were
tied in with the Norith Atlantic
pact.
The prsjected North Atlantic
alliance would link the defenses
of the United States, Canada,
Britain, France, Belgium, Hci
land and Luxembourg. 2
The Norwegian Labor Party
action killed Swedish and Danish
‘hopes for a last-minute echange
in the Norwegian attitude. They
)had hoped for a compromise be
tween the. ane%nal Swedish stand
for “a ‘completely neutral Scandi
navian alliance and the Norwe
gian stand for a definite link
with the Atlantic powers. .
Swedish Premier Tage FErlan
der said yesterday after the La
bor Party vote that a division of
Scandinavia was a fact. He de
clared in a speech the division
was causing, deep grief in all
three Scandinavian countries.
He added, however, that Swe
den’s traditional policy of neu
trality would not be altered by
the Norwegian decision.

State Depi.
Readies Pact
For Congress
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21—(AP)
—The State Department hopes to
present to Congress in aboui one
month a power packed North At
lantic Security Treaty. It would
be re-inforced by a multi-billion
dollar military aid proposal for
the countries of Western Europe.
Secretary of « State Acheson,
Canadian and European negotia
tors will enter the final stage of
treaty negotiations this week.
They plan a conference at the
State Department Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Acheson then is expected ‘to
have another talk with the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. Its
members convihced him in a ses
sion Friday that the Senate can be
expected to approve a strongly
worded commitment to Eufope,
even though any automatic war
commitment is out.
Paraliel with this work, the
State Department is coordinating
plans for the arms mutual aid pro
gram. This is expected to require
more than a billion dollars in ap
propriations the first year, to net
the Europeans upwards of $3,000,-
| 000,000 worth of arms with the
help of surplus army stocks now
available.
Meanwhile, the week - end
brought these other developments:
1. Sena%r Fulbright (D.-Ark.)
declared the Atlantic Pact must
carry a moral commitment that
the United States will act in event
of an aggression against any of
the treaty countries. He reasoned
that no such.thingéas a legal com
mitment is possible. Senator Smith
(R.-N.J.) indicated that he is
urging that the treaty should leave
no doubt that the United States
'would move quickly if Russia de
cided to March.
2. Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) said
in a speech at Kenton, 0., that he
was *inclined to favor” some such
ireaty as ibe Adlantic Pact, but
in the absence of details “I don’t
know exactly what it’s supposed to
be like” Taft added that of
,course', any agreement will have
to meet the constitutional provis
ion that only Congress can commit
the country to War.
3. The Washington Post said in
a copywrited article that a poll it
took showed the Senate would
vote overwhelmingly to fight
should Russia attack any one of
the North Atlantic Treaty coun
tries. Of the 51 Senators replying
to a question on the subject, the
Post said 50 said they would vote
to repeal armed aggression, 37
others declined to answer at this
time and eight could not be reach
ed.
4. Senator Capehart (R.-Ind.)
called for a slash in European Re
covery funds, now up for appro-’
priation. He proposed thereby to
make money available to finance
the projected new military aid
program without increasing this
nation’s total dollar output to
Europe. He predicted he would
get “some” support.
