Defense Rests Case
In Segregation Trial;
Court Resumes Monday |
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Iff)—1The j
defense in the Clinton segregation ;
trial rested its case today. The (
government attorney said “That’s |
ail for the government, too.”
When the chief defense counsel
for 10 of the defendants an- j
nounced the end of his case, the )
lawyer for the 11th—John Kasper
—arose and said he concurred.
The history making case grew
out of violence iq Clinton, Tenn.,
over attempts to integrate Negro
and white students in the high
school. The government charges
that the 11 violated a federal
court injunction against interfer
ing with the integration program.
The battery of defense lawyers I
yesterday put up a lengthy argu-1
ment for a directed verdict of ac- j
quittal. Federal Judge Robert L.
Taylor overruled the defense po
tion.
Each side will be given four
hours to sum up its case.
After the attorneys announced j
they were ready to close, the trial
was recessed until Monday.

Civil Service
Workers Voted
11% Pay Raise
.
WASHINGTON UP)—'The House |
Civil Service Committee over-:
rod'e Administration objections |
yesterday and voted for an 11
percent, S532 million pay raise
for a million government workers.
The committee, headed by Rep.
Murray <D-Tenn>, acted by a vote
of 14-10 soon after hearing Rob
ert E. Merriam, assistant budget
director, say such a raise would
be inflationary.
The group had voted earlier for
a 12V£ percent, $320 million in
crease in the pay of some 518,000
postal workers.
Merriam said a general federal
pay hike, if it leads to deficit fi
nancing, would hit our economy
at a time when we are trying to
control inflation. The resulting
inflation would hit the employes
getting increases as well as all
other Americans, he said.
But the committee majority de- j
cided a pay raise was merited for
about one million workers in the
classified civil service.
Committee staff officials said
the bill would provide a flat 11
percent increase in the pay of;
civil servants.
The maximum increase in any
federal salary, however, would
be limited to $1,000 and the salary
ceiling in such jobs would be
$16,000 a year.
The cost to the Treasury was
estimated at $532,400,000 a year. ;
