Measure Boosting Pay Of Almost
og o 57
All Military Ranks Is Approved ‘
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27— (AP) —The Senate, having
agiced to raises in military pay, turned more critically to
day to President Truman’s idea of boosting salaries for
top federal executives. ’
A house-passe dbill increasing th epay of cabinet mem
bers and other uppre-bracket officials is the next major
legislation on the Senate schedule. It was listed for action
la.t‘e.ir‘l‘ the'da'y aftgr some other matters are disposed of.
It follows in the wake of Senate
passage by voice vote late yester
day of a bill giving pay raises to
members of the Armed Forces in|
almost every grade at a cost of
aboyt $300,000;Q00 annually. l
" Asmiliar military pay bill pass
ed the House earlier. House and
Senate conferees now will attempt
to iron out the differences, which
are minor. Raises in the Senate
bill range from about $5 a month
for recruits with five months|
service to S3OO and up for generals |
with over 30 years service. {
Much more controversy has de- !
veloped over the executive pay
bill, for which Mr. Truman made
another plea yesterday in a letter
to Vice President Barkley. |
After a huddle of senators in |
the office of Democratic leadetl
Taeas of Tllinois, Senator McFar
land (D-Ariz.) said that 34 sena-[
tors—2o Democrats and 14 Re-|
publicans—have offered a com-l'
promise which “is being accept-'
ed.” McFarland is leader of a]
group which wants to scale down’
the pay raises Mr. Truman asked. !
Maximum Hike
McFarland said that under the
compromise no government of
ficials except cabinet members
and a few White House aides
would have their pay raised above
$15,000 and none would receive
hore Ihan o X 8 ser ceant increase,
For cabinet members, that
would mean a boost in pay from
$15,000 to $22,500 instead of the
$25,000 provided in the pending
presidentially back bill.
McFarland said the compromise
also would cut the $16,000 salary
provided in the bill for seven
White House assistants to $15,000.
But the President would be al
lowed to employ two at $20,000
and three at SIB,OOO.
At present the White House sal
ary scale for presidential assistants
ranges from SIO,OOO to a top, for
one position, of $15,000.
Clark M. Clifford, special coun=
sel to the President, presumably
would be one of those moved up
to the $20,000-a-year level if the
bill should pass.
3 Cut Compromise
The bill is scaled to give in
creases comparable to those for
cabinet members to the heads of

Swift Arms Bill Compromise
Seen As Answer To Atom Issue
WASHINGTON, Sepi. 27 —
(AP) — Swift agreement in a
Senate-House committee on a sl,-
314,010,000 overseas arms pro- |
gram sped along today one RE
answer to Russia’s A-bomb claims. |
The news of an atomic blast in
Russia served to speed agreement
among the lawmakers that friend
ly nations must be sirengthened
against the threat of Communism.
A Senate-House conference late
vesterday sidetracked 2 House ec
onomy move and agreed, in three
hours, on the higher c¢ist program
voted earlier by the Senate. The
discarded House figure was $860,-
414,000, or $444,595,000 less than
the agreed-upon Senate, figure.

Under _Secretary of Defense
Stephen ~ Eatly, for example,
would go up only to $15,000 in
stead of $20,000. Early, former
aide to the late President Roose
velt, now gets $12,000.
Some of the raises provided in
the bill as it passed the House and
as the Senate Civil Service Com-]
mittee recommended it amounted |
almost to 100 per cent.
If raises like that are passed
out to government officials, Mc-i

Farm Bureau

Friday night at 7:30 at the

ty Farm Bureau will inaugurate
a program of study of local prob
lems, :
The supper meeting Friday will
deal with the problem of market
ing milk.
Since the coming of the boll

other types of farming to take up
the reduction in acreage in cot
ton, it is pointed out.
Dairying has given indication of
adaptability to this area according
to the farm management spec
ialists of the College of Agricul
ture.
It is apparent that marketing
may be the present bottle neck
according to these specialists.
The Farm Bureau will hold a
discussion of this phase of dairy
ing.
All members of the Clarke
County Farm Bureau are urged to
attend by President Shannon
Woods and those who are interest- |
ed in becoming members are in
vited.
the Senate Foreign Relations com
mittee told reporters the Russian
atomic reports “have given the
arms program new strength.” |
Republican Senators Bridges of
New Hampshire and Knowland of
California agreed.
Usually, conferees appointed to
settle Senate-House differences
reach agreement by an in-be
tween compromise. In this case the
House members dropped any pre
tense of fighting for the lower fig

ATHENS, CA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1949,
Effective Date of New
Voter Law MayßeDelayed
State’s Old Voter List May
Be Used For 1950 Elections
ATLANTA, Sept. 27— (AP) —Two top legislative lead
ers indicated today Georgia's old list of 1,200,000 regis
tered voters may b¢ cowtinued in effect for next year’s el
ections. :
Governor Herman Talmadge’s House floor leader, Rep.
Frank Twitty, of Mitchell, and House Speaker Pro Tem,
George Smith of Emanuel, said they would move to post
pone the effective date of the State’s new voter re-regis
tratiom law.
The move, they said, stemmed
from confusion and turmoil over
the highly controversial act.
The law abolished Georgia’s
record-breaking 1,200,000 regis
tration list and ordered a new reg
istration of all voters.
The old list was kept intact,
however, for any special elections
this year. The new list was to be
come effective next January, with
a deadline next May for register
ing for 1950 eiections.
Many counties have not even
begun the huge re - registration
task and indications were that
many voters would have little
time to register before May.
Joint Statement
Twitty and Smith, in a joint
statement today, said they will in
troduce an-amendment tc the re
registration act postponing the
scheduled January effective date
of the new voting list.
They did not say when they
would propose that the new list
become effective, and thus perma
nently drop the old list. But, ap
parently, any considerable post
nonement would make the change
from the oid to the new list afier
the May deadline for next year’s
elections.
“This bill was designed to elim=-
inate bloc voting and those not
qualified under the Constitution,”
the joint statement said.
“We think that the bill is good,
but a great majority of the peopie
have become confused about the
true contents of this act, and do
not understand the legislation, -
Hlnasmuch_ as the bill is very
long and complicated, their atti
tude is understandable.
Ample Time
“If the members of the Legisla
ture agree with us, then those
qualified to vote will be those of
the old list plus those who have
registered since that time.
“By such action the people will
have ample time to thoreughly
study the provisions of the act,
and the members of the Legisla
ture will then be in a position to
clarify and meet any objections.”
The bill has been in hot water
ever since its adoption as Gover
nor Talmadge’s pet mcasure in
the 1949 Legislature.
Complaints were widespread
that it placed a financial burden
on counties and made registration
too difficult, thus greatly reducing
the voting list.
To meet these objections, Tal
madge forces already have indi
cated they will propose a state ap~
propriation to help finance re-reg
istration, and will ask that justices
of the peace be made deputy-reg
istrars so that re-registration will
be more accessible. -
Twitty and Smith noted that the
Georgia Supreme Court, in-a re
cent opinion, upheld the law only
“as a whole” but did not and
could not rule in this case on sev
eral specific and highly debatable
section of the law.

Red A-Bomb
Stockpile
Is Doubted
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27—(AP)
—Senator O’'Mahoney (D.-Wyo.)
said today every sign indicates
Russia doesn't have the industrial
know-how or facilities to stockpile
atomic bombs.
O'Mahoney, who led one con
gressional group in the drive to
tighten the secrecy around Ameri
can atomic devolopments,.told a
reporter he doesn’t agree with
Senator Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa)
that information leaks may have
speeded Soviet efforis o fire an
A-bomb.
‘The basic scientific information
has been ne secret,” the Wycm
ing Senator said. “It's the indus
trial know-how of making the
bombs that is important.
‘The Rusisans just don’t have
the technical abilities nor the fac
illities to stockpile bombs. Just
look at their attempts to produce
automobiles. They far behind and
this certajnlé is a much more comn
plicated m -tter than produecing au
tomobiles®
Hickenlooper told the Senate
yesterday that “loose security poli
cies” by the Atomic Energy Com
mission had “permitted vital in
formation to filter out of this
country.”
“I have no doubt that they have
helped step up Russia’s time table
for the production of an atomic
explosion by a very substantial
period of time,” he declared.
Chairman McMahon (D.-Conn.)
of the Senate-House Atomiec Com=~
mi‘ttee took sharp issue with Hick
gniscoer,
Leaks Denied
McMshon said an investigation
by the committee of Hickenloop=
er’'s charges of “incredible mis
management” against the AEC and
Chairman David E. Lilienthal
hadn’'t produced a single bit of
evidence that loose security poli
cies helped the Russians get atom
ic knowledge.
“On the contrary,” he said, “the
evidence showed a profound and
constant concern for security on
the part of the commission.”
If there were any security leaks,
McMahon said they must have oc
curred when the Army had charge
of the project during the war and
before the eivilian commission
took over.
He said that the basic work on
producing atomic energy had been
done in many countries before the
war began, adding tHat “Russia
has the bomb today because its
development was principally a
matter of time and hard work.”

In Critical Debate
Labor Gov’t Stakes Official Life ;
On Discussion Of Economic Policy
By The Associated Press
The British Labor Government seemed assured today of
united Labor Party support in its Parliamentary fight for
life on its devaluation policy.
A last-minute caucus before the opening of a crucial
House of Commons debate rallied the forces of labor to
support the vote of confidence which will he taken after
three days of debate.
Earlier government lcaders ex
pressed concern that some left
wing-Socialists would vote with
Conservatives against the 30 per
cent devaiuation policy. Many un
ion leaders had expressed fear the
cheapening of the pound would
bring inflation that would hit the
working man the hardest.
"~ If defeated on this major gov
ernment policy, the Allee admin
isiration immediately wouid cail
a general electlon, calthough its
term of office does not expire un
til next summer. Now, it appear=
ed, the Laborites could muster am
ple strength in the House of Com
mons {o carry the issue.
