Tentative Agreement I
Sets Postal Pay Boost
At 8^% Average
WASHINGTON, —One Sen- !
ate-House conferee on the postal
pay increase bill said yesterday a
tentative agreement had been
reached on a salary boost averag
ing 8Vz percent.
This would be close to the 8.3 i
average increase voted by the |
House. The Senate passed a bill j
calling for a flat 10 percent raise |
except that every postal employe j
would get at least $400 annually, j
A conference agreement is sought.'
The pay raise would go to all;
the nation’s 500,000 postal work- j
ers.
Whatever is the final outcome,
the bill might run into a presi
dential veto. President Eisenhow
er has indicated he will not go
beyond a 7.6 percent raise.
One conferee, who asked that
his name not be used, said an all
but final accord had been worked
out on the 8Vz percent figure ret
roactive to March 1. This was the
effective date in the House bill.
This source said the conferees
had decided to write a 7 percent
minimum into the bill. As it
passed the House, the floor was
6 percent, but only a relatively
few would get this small raise.
Arctic Region Described
As Most Likely Route
For Air Attack on U.S.
PHILADELPHIA, UP>—An Air
Force officer said yesterday the
arctic region would be the most
likely route for an air attack on
the United States in the event of
war.
Col. Mark Bane Jr. said in a
prepared address before the Na
tional Resources Conference:
“By the use of the polar routes,
the way has been opened for an
aggressor.”
Another Air Fbrce colonel, C.
J. Martin, said the development
of Russia’s arctic position is of
tremendous importance to the
United States. He added:
“While her frontiers in western
Europe have been pushed for
ward 600 miles, her northern
boundaries, particularly those in
the polar regions, have acquired
a new significance.”

Marksmanship Improves
At ANG Target Shoot ••

vised and directed all shooting.

high, followed by Junior Chief
Robert Summers. Wayne Russell
and Fritz Chambers tied for third
place. Taylor Moto was fourth.
The Nome Theater presented
show tickets to them.
As these monthly “shoots” con
tinue, the boys will improve..

of their instructors had been pro
moted, they enthusiastically con
gratulated Captain Ellis.
Civil Defense booklets were
distributed to members and their
neighbors.

lice will be the last for this
spring. It will be Saturday eve
ning at 8:00 o’clock, City Hall.

fire fighters ample area to com
bat the flames.
