New Postal Pay Bill
Is Prepared, Carrying
Average 8 pet. Raises
WASHINGTON, UPi—'The Sen
ate Post Office and Civil Service
Committee today approved a new
postal pay bill carrying average
raises, of about 8 per cent for
the 500,000 postal workers.
Members said they believed it
would be acceptable to President
Eisenhower who vetoed a bill pro
viding an average 8.6 per cent pay
boost. The Senate upheld the veto
yesterday by a 54-39 vote, eight
short of the two-thirds needed to
override.
The new measure would cost an
estimated 162 million ’dollars a
year, or 17 million dollars less
than the bill vetoed by the Presi
dent.
It would give each postal work
er at least a 6 per cent pay raise,
the floor which the administra
tion has been willing to accept.
The vetoed bill had a 7 per cent
minimum.

Secretary of State Dulles Rejects
Any Neutrality Policy for Germany
WASHINGTON, (A*—Secretary,
of State Dulles, with special auth
orization from President Eisen
hower, totally rejected any policy
of neutrality for Germany Tues
day.
Dulles said the stand applies to
West Germany and also to a uni
fied Germany which might some
day result from bringing together
the eastern and western zones.
Clearing up an uncertainty which
resulted from Eisenhower’s re
marks at a news conference last
week, Dulles told reporters yes
terday that the West German gov
ernment has been officially in
formed of the U.S. view.
He stated the American position
to Ambassador Heinz Krekeler
last Friday morning, he said.
Dulles declared that it is the
view of the United States that a
policy of neutrality has no appli
cation to a country of the charac
ter of Germany with its 70 million
industrious people, strategic posi
tion and power resources.
He said he does not believe that
anyone seriously thinks the Ger
man people are designed to play
the role of neutrality.
Eisenhower recognized at a news
conference Wednesday the exist
ence of speculation about creation
of a belt of neutral states between
Russia and the West. He empha
sized that in the case of Austria
this was an armed neutrality and
not a military vacuum. That pro
duced much speculation that the
United States might envision a
neutral role for Germany in con
nection with prospective negotia
tions with Russia.
Dulles made these other points
at his news conference.

2. Dulles would be very sur
prised if criticism of U.S., British,
and French plans for a Big Four
session at the Eisenhower-Bul
ganin level were designed to
change the purposes of the meet
ing. The western powers proposed
that heads of government deal
only with procedures for solving
problems but a harsh editorial in
Pravda Saturday demanded that
they personally tackle major is
sues.
3. The dispute between Russia
and the western powers over the
flow of traffic between West Ger
many and Berlin may be dis
cussed, if necessary, by the Big
Four foreign ministers. Dulles said
that it is a possibility. Soviet Zone
authorities have imposed ex
tremely high taxes on truck ship
ments to Berlin.
4. The U. S. Government has
made no decision on whether to
move American occupation forces
out of Austria into Italy to back
up North Atlantic Pact defenses.
The troops are to be pulled out
under the new Austrian indepen
dence treaty.

The raccoon
that wouldn’t
_ come down
They said old Andrew Jackson was so fierce
he could stare a raccoon out of a tree.
So (the story goes) a friend made
a bet on it. And “Old Hickory,” who could be
as obliging as he was terrifying, set out to help
his friend win.
One night he and the financially interested
parties went into the moonlit woods. They
spotted their game, a small round silhouette high
on a limb.
Fixing his baleful eye on the target, Andrew
Jackson stared. He scowled. He glowered. He
glared all night—but the raccoon never came down.
Even so, Andrew Jackson hadn’t failed. For at
sunup the men saw that what he had been staring
at wasn’t a raccoon after all, but a huge knot
on the tree. And he had stared some of the
bark off that!
A TALL STORY. But no taller than the man, born
188 years ago, about whom it was told. For
rough, tough Andrew Jackson—soldier at 13, sen
ator at 30, major general at 35, and our seventh
president at the climax of his career —was one of
the'true giants of our nation’s youth. Personally
fearless, relentless toward his enemies, but self
reliant, honest and straightforward, he was the
very embodiment of the early American spirit.
