Ike Opposed to
Over 7Vz% Hike
In Postal Pav
J
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Eisenhower said Saturday that he
would view with “gravest appre
hension” any pay increase for
postal workers in excess of a
House bill’s proposal for an aver
age lYz percent boost.
The President stepped into the
controversy as the House got set
to vote on a pay bill Monday.
The Senate Post Office Com
mittee already has recommended
a proposed 10 percent postal pay
hike and a strong move is on in
the House to vote a similar raise.
In a letter to Rep. Murray <D
Tenn>, Eisenhower said he is
“concerned” even about the 150
million dollar measure okayed by
the House Post Office Committee
because of its fiscal impact. Mur
ray is chairman of the committee.
The President vetoed a 5 per
cent pay hike for postal and civil
service workers last year on the
grounds that the bill did not in
clude mail rate increases to help
offset the cost as far as postal
employes were concerned.

peared a step closer Saturday.
Georgia-Pacific Plywood Co., a

The filing with the territorial
auditor said the company’s scope
is “newsprint, pulp, hardboard,
lumber and all forest products.”
If the plant becomes a reality,
it would be the second pulp mill
in southeastern Alaska, but the
first newsprint plant. The new
Ketchikan Pulp Co. plant pro
ducese pulp for commercial pur
poses.

Former Alaska RR. Head
Wanted by Justice Dept.;
Passport To Be Lifted
WASHINGTON, tJ*>—T h e De
partment of Justice said Saturday
John Patrick Johnson is in Boga
ta, Colombia.
The former Alaska Railroad
general manager has been charged
at Anchorage with nine counts of
conducting railroad dealings with
a mining firm in which he had a
financial interest. He left the road
in 1953.
An effort was made to obtain
his extradition to the United
States, the department said, but it
was established the charges did
not provide extradition grounds
under existing treaties with that
country.
However, the department de
clared it will now ask the State
Department “to pick up his pass
port.” Under this procedure, John
Johnson can either return here
and deliver it in person or he can
surrender it in South America.
The latter course would leave
him without re-entry papers.
