Presidential Veto May
Be Necessary to Get
7.6% Postal Pay Raise
WASHINGTON, UP—San. Carl
son (R-Kan) said Saturday he still
is confident federal emplojfes will
get the 7.6 percent pay raise that
President Eisenhowef favors in
stead of the 10 percent voted by
the Senate.
He conceded, however, that it
may require a presidential veto
to get the lower figure.
The pay raise battle shifts to
the House after the Senate’s pass
age Friday of bills to raise the
pay of one million classified civil
service workers and 500,000 post
al emplayes.
But there a considerable delay
appeared in prospect. It seemed
months might elapse before the
employes actually get the pay in
crease, especially if Eisenhower
vetoes the first bill sent to him.
The House rejected by almost
a 3-1 margin last Monday an ef
fort to call up the 7.6 percent bill
for workers on a take-it-or-leavc
it basis.
The House is to take an Easter
recess after next week. So no
further moves in the pay fight
appeared possible before at least
mid-April.

Belgian Catholic Crowds
Protest Proposed Cuts
In Church Schools Aid
BRUSSELS, Belgium, UR —
Mounted police charged with
swinging sabers Saturday to dis
perse surging crowds of Roman
Catholics protesting a proposed
government cut in financial aid
to church schools.
Riot troops on iooi brandished
batons to break up groups of
shouting demonstrators. No cas
ualties were reported but hun
dreds were hauled away to a mili

The center of this capital city

heavily armed police to keep the
Catholics out. But they swarmed
in anyway, and spent the morning

triangular buttons saying “The
Nation Says No.”
