Differential Pay
Still Under Fire
By Frank W. Vaille
AP Special Washinglon Service
WASHINGTON (AP)—A pro
posal lo trim the government's
cosl-of-living allowances lo its
employes in the territories and
Puerto Rico will be brought
before Congress within the next
few weeks. Hep. Whitten (D
Miss.) said today.
He indicated, however, it will
not be as drastic as originally
believed by territorial delegates
from Alaska and Hawaii.
When Whnien, a member of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee, first raised the question,
he said he would ask that all
such payments be banned to gov
ernment employes who are
hired within the Territory. He
said his proposal would not af
fect payments to persons re
cruited in this country for gov
ernment employ in the terri
tories.
Efforts were made to attach
such a provision lo the Interior
and Agriculture Department
appropriations bills. The
amendment offered to the Inte
rior bill was defeated but the
proviso was written into the
Agriculture bill. The latter is
now before the Senate Ap
propriations Committee.
Whitten told a reporter he had
not worked out Che final word
ing of his proposal.
“My present tnmKing on the
matter,” he said, “would be to
continue payments only in such
areas where the cost-of-living is
reflected in local government or
municipal salaries.”
The Mississippi congressman
said he has “no desire to hurt
anyone” and merely wants to
overcome what he describes as
“administrative shortcomings.”
Delegates Bartlett of Alaska
and Farrington of Hawaii, a
long with Resident Commis
sioner Fernos-Isern of Puerto
Rico, have unanimously op
posed any change in the cost
of-living payments as proposed
in the amendments to the ap
propriations bills.
They, along with representa
tives of two government em
ploye groups, appeared before
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee last week to urge that it
remove the payment ban from
the Agriculture bill.

CLIMBERS CONQUER
MT. MC KINLEY
ANCHORAGE (AP) — The
route up Mt. McKinley* North
America’s 'highest mountain, is
now “virtually a Boston post
road,” says Bradford Washburn,
leader of the latest expedition
to conquer the 20,257-foot peak.
Washburn, director of the
Boston Museum, said yesterday
members of the mountain-climb
ing party left markers every
100 feet to guide future climb
ers.
A11 eight members of the
party reached the summit, Wash
burn said. Washburn, James
Gale of Anchorage and Capt.
William liackett of Denver,
blazed a trail over a new west
ern route early last week.
Drs. John Ambler and Henry
Butchtel, of Denver; Barry
Bishop, 19-year-old University
of Cincinnati student; Ts M.
Griffiths, glacial geologist from
Denver University; and Jerry
Moore, 23. Dartmouth College
student; followed Friday and
Saturday.
Washburn explained the ex
pedition was divided into sec
tions so it could use three-man

Order Stop Light at
Third Ave. & D St.
A red light with the word
“stop'' on two sides and “cau
tion” on the other two, was
ordered by the city council, to
be placed at Third Avenue and
D Street.
Third Avenue, being a
through street, will show the
“caution” sign, while the cross
street traffic will be called to
a halt.
The signs now in place at that
corner seem to be ineffective
and the cause of some confusion
to motorists.
Trying to run a business with
out advertising, say an advertis
ing executive, is like winking at
a girl in the dark. You know
what you are doing, but no one
else does.
