Dewey To Ask For Cabinet Pay Boost To Ask Increase If Elected President Pawling, N. Y., Aug. 9—(UP)— Guv. Thomas E. Dewey will ask congress to Increase the salaries of cabinet officers and other top governtnen al employes if he Is elected president, it was learned reliably today. The Republican presidential candidate, it was said, lielieves the best way to obtain more efficient public servants is "to pay them more." He feels the government must come closer to matching the salaries of private industry. Dewey followed that policy when he took over the governor’s <hair at Albany. He is the only state employe not to receive a pay raise since the Republicans took over the state administration. The governor said the state chief executive should be paid more titan the 125.000 he now receives. but that be would not recommend such a change while he remains in office. Dewey virtually ended his > "vacation" at bis Quaker Hill farm to begin preparation for his nation-wide campaign. The governor will return Io Albany Wed nesday to "clean up” state business and work on speeches he will deliver during his drive. Dewey will confer with his run ning mate, Gov. Ea? Warren ot California and his c’Jef political adviser Herbert Brownell. Jr., next Monday on the campaign and travel routes. Warren will be a guest at the executive mansion in Albany Monday and Tuesday to discuss the campaign plan The GOP nominee remained silent on the action of the special session of congress, hut it was generally believed that his first campaign speech would deal with the high cost of living. He Is expected to blame the Truman administration for inflation. TEXAS WOMEN tCont. From Page One) tationing was on." she said. George Rieffler, an Independent butcher, said sales have fallen off considerably but he was prepared for the full force of this week s strike because "we just bought less." "1 expect the strike to pass over in two or three weeks," he said. A chain store butcher said his company's business had not been hurt yet but he did not know what tc expect under the strike. He agreed with the women, however, that meat prices were too high Walter Hammond, president of the Texas Farm Bureau Federation. termed the inea( strike "useless afffl senseless " He predicted that it would "fall flat on its face.” H. P. Jones, manager of the Dalias Swift and company plant, denied reports that livestock was being diverted to other markets during the strike. He said that thus far “it has not hurt us." Bruising of animals carried by rail and truck caused a loss in 1947 amounting to 50,000.000 pounds of meat, worth almost 119,000.000.
