Civil Service Head Urges
New U. S. Pay Policy
Should Respond to Varying Conditions
In Labor Market, Young Declares
By JOSEPH YOUNG
The Government needs a new pay policy In fixing the
wages of its employes, Chairman Philip Young of the Civil
Service Commission declared today.
“We need a new pay policy for the Federal service and
particularly we need a pay policy that will be responsive to
varying labor-market conditions, both national and local, and
to changes in Government pro-!
grams,” Mr. Young said.
The commission chief made
his views known in a speech
before the general assembly of
:the Engineers Joint Council in
New York City.
Mr. Young said “the challeng
ing subject of pay” has received
a great deal of attention from the
administration.
Overhauling Needed
“It has been clear to me for
some time that the entire Gov
ernment pay system is in need of
; overhauling.”
While Mr. Young did not spell
out the details of what he advo
cated to change the Federal nay
j system, he is known to look fav
orably on a system whereby Gov
ernment employes’ salaries would
be based on comparable indus
try rates in the areas where they
are employed. Under such a sys
tem, Congress would set the min
imum and maximum pay rates
of a particular job. but the Civil
Service Commission would deter
mine the exact pay within these
limits that an employe would re
ceive based on industry rates for
comparable jobs in his particu
lar locale.
The Government's skilled
Nehru Criticizes
Doctrine's Effect
NEW DELHI, Jan. 17 UP).—
Prime Minister Nehru today said
the Eisenhower doctrine on the
Middle East could make the sit
uation there “more difficult” be
cause it links military and eco
nomic aid.
“To give economic help to;
these countries is good,” Mr.|
Nehru told newsmen when he
arrived from Cajcutta. “but to
tie it up with military help ties
it up with the cold war and
makes the situation more diffi
cult.”
Mr. Nehru's comments so far
on the Eisenhower proposal are
considered moderate. Info; vi
ants say this is due partly to the
influence of his recent talks with
the American President and
partly to his desire to see how
the Middle East countries react
to the new American policy.
Syrian President Shukri A1
[Kuwatly also arrived today for a
| state visit with Mr. Nehru.
! Their talks were expected to
dwell heavily on the Eisenhower
doctrine, which the Syrian gov
ernment opposes outspokenly. j
Aden Chiefs Agree
To Yemen Talks
LONDON, Jan. 17 UP).—Sul
tans of the various tribal units
of the Aden protectorate hav.
agreed conditionally to Britain's
proposal for peace talks on the
Aden-Yemen border warfare.
Yemen has not yet replied to
the British proposal.
The Foreign Office said the
Aden rulers agreed to the talks
—if Yemeni troops withdraw
from the Aden territories first.
Britain and the Aden Sultans
contend that Yemeni troops are
raiding the British-protected
areas in the southwest corner of
the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemen countercharges that
the British forces in Aden arc
attacking Yemeni towns and
Aden Nationalists who oppose
British plans to federate the
Aden Sultanates into a closer

ers* now have their pay set by

i classified and postal employes
is set by Congress.
Mr. Young said "the grade
-1 and-salary structure is too rigid:
1 the pay ceiling Is too firmly
fixed; the number of top-grade
positions is too limited. The
. Civil Service Commission has al
ready recommended to Congress,'
, and will continue to support,

Postal and classified employe

feel that this would tend to keep
' Federal salaries down in rural
areas and in sections of the
1 country' where industry pay is
: generally low.
On the other hand, Mr. Young
and others feel that such a sys
tem would insure higher Gov- 1
ernment salaries in many fields
such as engineering, scientific,

Burke Airport
Action Urged
Trade Board, County
Groups Ask Approval
By DON S. WARREN
Spokesmen for the Washing
ton Board of Trade and some
Fairfax County groups joined
i forces today in urging a Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee to
take speedy action in approving
! funds for resumption of devel
! opment of a second Washington
airport at Burke, Va.
These witnesses declared that
( there would be a tremendous
economic benefit to Northern
Virginia flowing from the devel-i
opment at Burke of the proposed
SSO million airport. Part of a
, 6.000-acre Burke site already
. has been acquired.
Called a “Gold Mine”
One of the witnesses, Henry
• Rolfs, chairman of the Commit
’ tee for the Burke Airport and
‘ vice chairman of the Fairfax
| County Chamber of Commerce,
declared the airport would prove
.“an economic gold mine.”
! Earlier, however, sharp oppo
sition to the Burke plan was
i,voiced by Representative Broy
. hill. Republican of Virginia. He
• declared the Burke project “will
■ not be in the best interest of
. the people of Northern Vir
' ginia.”
He brought out that all Sen
i ators for Virginia and Maryland
and all members of the House
i from nearby districts were op
i; posed to the Burke plan. Mr.
• Broyhill told the subcommittee
i the project at Burke “will not
only be a nuisance but a seri
ous hazzard for years to come.”
Leveling Cost Cited
He said that he may be “a
little more prejudiced” than Rep
resentatives from more distant
States but that politically he
had no choice because of the
opposition of his constituents.
He argued that the terrain in
:the Burke area was not well
suited for an airport and that it
would cost thousands of dollars
to level off the area for a landing
: field.
He said there were alternatives
. and the Civil Aeronautics Au
, thorlty had not been as objective
'.as it should have been in select
ing a site.
! Mr. Broyhill also said that the
i\ commercial airlines, although
. opposed to the use of Baltimore’s
| Friendship Airport to relieve
j congestion at National Airport,
. were not putting up any money

dent and 10 open automobiles.
The Army Band will play for
the dry run and all units will
move as if in earnest, to help
euiho';ties determine whether
the Monday parade can be ex
pected to move as scheduled.
| The units will assemble east of
the Capitol at 9:30 am. tomor
i row' and will begin moving at 10
, o’clock. If all goes precisely as
planned, the procession should
pass a given point within four
minutes, and take 43 minutes to
go the distance. If that happens,
the Inaugural Parade officials
will breathe audible signs of
relief.
Recent parades for Inaugura
tions have bogged down and run
too long. President Eisenhower
has requested that the proces
sion this year be squeezed into
about two hours. That is the
committee objective. Privately,
however, the experts concede the
elapsed time on Monday may
approximate 2 */ 2 hours.

Johnny Dio Named
By JAMES Y. NEWTON
Charges of “stealing” union 1
funds and “hoodlumism” were J
made today by Senate invest!-
gators at a public inquiry into ’
!the affairs of two New York’
labor organizations.
The charges came as the Sen- \
ate Investigations Subcommittee >
started what is expected to de- |
velop into a Nation-wide probe ,
into labor rackets. The hearing ,
was kicked off with testimony
concerning the operations in:
New York of locals of'the 1.4
million member International i
Brotherhood of Teamsters, and |
the Allied Industrial Workers,
both affiliated with the AFL- 1
CIO. jl
Johnny Dio Named
Brought into the hearing fre- 1
quetly was the name of John ,
Dioguardi. also known as 1
“Johnny Dio." a hoodlum long
associated with New York rack
ets. Dioguardi. under indictment j
|in connection with the acid-”
blinding of labor columnist Vic
tor Riesel. was said to have set '
up one of the local unions under
investigation.
Subcommittee Counsel Robert
F. Kennedy gave the tangled 1
background of the labor situa-j
tion under investigation. He said
that both the locals figuring in
the hearing originally were Local
496 of the Chemical Workers
Union and were kicked out of
that international because of
| gangster infiltration. (
Mr. Kennedy said Dioguardi
reorganized 496 Into Local 2271 1
of the Allied Industrial Union. 1
A year ago. the officers of Local
227 received a charter from I
Teamster President Dave Beck :
and set up Local 284 of the
teamsters. |
The subcommittee counsel said
this was one of the "paper” 10-j
cals whh.h was established to
influence the teamster joint j
council election in New York. Mr.
Kennedy said that Local 284 had i
no members for six or seven ,
months and several persons ,
served each union as officers. ,
False Forms Charged
Mr. Kennedy charged that
both locals had filed “false ,
and fraudulent” registration !
forms of financial reports with j
the Labor Department.
The first witness, Fred Vir-!
gilio, 35, of Brooklyn, was lden- ‘
tified by Mr. Kennedy as a
trustee of both locals 227 and ■
284. He said that Henry Reiss,
who will be called to testify later,
is president of local 227 and
secretary-treasurer of Team- .
ster Local 284.
Mr. Vigillo Invoked the Fifth ,
Amendment on nearly every
question put to him by Subcom
mittee Chairman McClellan.
Democrat of Arkansas, and
other members of the committee. ;
The witness even refused to '
say whether he was a member 1
of a labor union and at one
point invoked the constitutional 1
privilege when asked if he had 1
ever done any work.
“These questions might open
the doors to other things to in- i
criminate me on,” Mr. Virgilio: 1
replied when asked why he re
fused to answer many of the
simple questions put to him.

By GOULD LINCOLN
A telegram signed "Harold E. Stassen” but branded as
fraudulent by Mr. Stassen, today was thrown into the growing
| row over selection of a new Republican National Committee
i chairman.
The telegram called on members of the national committee
“to keep the future of the party and the country safe from the
Nixons and Knowlands” and to
| elect H. Meade Alcorn, Jr., of,
Connecticut as chairman to
succeed Leonard W. Hall. Mr.
Hall has resigned as of Febru

The telegram made public by

Soviet Reported Fearing
Eisenhower Mideast Plan
I MOSCOW, Jan. 17 UP). —Foreign diplomats In Moscow say
the Kremlin genuinely fears President Eisenhower’s Middle East
program and is trying desperately to find an effective counter
attack.
The diplomats have talked With Foreign Minister Dmitri
i Shepllov and other Russian leaders. They say the Soviet reaction
: sums up to this: *
1. The Russians see the Eisen
hower doctrine as another step
toward Western encirclement of
jthe Soviet Union.
2. Their opposition is not Just
anti-West propaganda.
3. The Kremlin knows it has
to come up with something con
crete, not just propaganda, to
defeat the new United States
move.
Drained by Satellites
The foreign diplomats point
out. however, that the satellites
are draining the Russian econ
omy so heavily the Soviet Union
can’t hope to match United
States dollers.
Several diplomats in Moscow,
including some friendly to the
West, also say emphasis on the
military side of the Eisenhower
program, on the heels of
the British-French invasion of
Egypt, was a mistake.
"If the military aspects had
been dropped or minimized, the
program would have been hard
to beat,” one commented.
One diplomat after discussing
the Eisenhower proposals with i
Soviet leaders said he believes
the plan "still has the Soviet
bosses off balance. They fear
it and are seeking effective
means of combatting it.”
Another diplomat told a re
porter: “They know public at

and that they must themselves

commander, into closed session
today to get his views on the
situation in the Middle East.
Although the general has been
more directly concerned with the i
defense of Western Europe, the!
hearings thus far have indicated!

Ultimatum
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.. Jan.
17 (JP)—Egyptian Foreign Minis
ter Mahmoud Fawzi declared to
day that Israel’s failure to with
draw her forces from Egypt is
“threatening peace in the Middle
East and beyond.”
Mr. Fawzi led off a new round
i of Middle East debate in the 80-
nation General Assembly as 24
Aslan and African nations pro
posed that the Assembly in effect
give Israel five days to get tfil its
, forces out of Egypt and the Gaza
I Strip.
Egypt, which requested the As
sembly meeting, did not join in
sponsorship of the resolution,
which had been watered down
| considerably In the past few dayi
and apparently did not go far
enough to satisfy the Egyptians.
Two other members of the 27-
nation Asian-Afrlcan group
Turkey and Laos—also declined,
,for unexplained reasons, to spon
sor the proposal.
Israel Wants Safeguards
Israeli Foreign Minister Golda
Meir told the Assembly that
Israel was ready to discuss with
drawal from both the Gaza
strip and the Gulf of Aqaba
region, the only ones which will
be held by Israels invading
forces after next Tuesday, if the
U. N. can agree on arrangements
to safeguard Israel interest.
Mrs. Meir said her govern
ment would not be content with
1 a simple agreement to have the
U. N. Emergency Force occupy
the Gaza strip and the Sharm
El Sheikh area, commanding the
Aqaba approach. There would
have to be assurances, she said,
that the U. N. forces would re
main until effective arrange
ments were made to prevent a
r return to the preinvasion situa
tion.
' She said the Israel objective*
■ were to make sure that the Gulf
of Aqaba remained open to
