Senate Passes Bill For Gl Pay Boost *-- ■ ! K -i ’ ? Measure Heads Far Joint Committee j Washington, April I,— A senate-approved bill providing a ■ three percent pay boost for servicemen and a $45 monthly bonus for combat duty in Korea headed for a senate-house conference committee today. j Rep. Paul J. Kilday (D- j|ex.). who played a leading role in drafting the house bill providing o. 10 percent pay hike and is likely to serve as a conferee, said the differences in the measures' are so great that it is impossible to predict what will be in the final versiqjt. Except for the bonus provision, the senate bill, passed late day, was less generous than' the house measure. The senate version also included' increases in rations and quarters allowances, making a total average increase' of 5.6 cent. The coinbat bonus would be retroactive to June 30, 1950. j Kilday said some members of the house arrtied services confmittee have objected that the bpnus Would have a tremendous impact on the national economy in event of all-out war. He said he would s(udy thesenate’s definition of “combat” heforfe taking a position on the posal! ) «, I . Re]|>. W. Sterling Cole (R-Nh"), another committee member svho * may be a conferee, said his “criticism Os the principle of combatway is not that the men shouldn’t: get it, but'that the administrative ;ptovisions in carrying it out are' insurmountable. The bookkeeping required makes it almost impossible.” ' ______ ' Two Men Are Fined I Here On Charges Curtis Patterson, Fort Wayne, pleaded guilty to running a spop sign and was fined $1 and costs in justice of peace court this morning. Alvin Gunderson was assessed a fine of $5 and costs on a charge of public intoxication. Gunderson ? was picked up Monday night in the west part of Decatur.

S. political scene poses the big problem of who would succeed him as commander-in-chlef, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers in Europe. Most observers agree the man would have to be an American, since it is unlikely the European powers cpu|d agree on a non-Amerlcan. Eisenhower is known to favor his chief of staff, Gen. Gruenther, in spite of the fact that Gruenther, a staff officer, has never field a major command. Others who apparently would be in the running are General Bradley, chairman of the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff; General Collins, U. 8. Army chief of staff; General Ridgway, UN commander-in-chief in the Far East. i

Willie. Sutton And Pal Are Convicted Guilty Os Robbing ’ Queens County Bank New York, April 1— all-male jury which had debated throughout the. night filed into the box at dawn today, and prot ounced Willie (The Actor) .Skition and his gunman pal, Thomas. (Mad Dog) Kling, guilty of robbing a Queens county bank ?of. $62,942 two years ago. , ■* The verdict for Sutton meant little as far as years in the periitentiary go. It would add a maximum of 30 years to the 100 pr more he already Laces In unexpjred terms on other robbery charges. From the outset of the trial. Sutton had resigned himself |o spend the resf. of his life behind bars because he is now 51.

Jury foreman Donlad Maloney, a landscape architect, pronounced the verdict: “Sutton and Kling guilty ks charged.” . > That meant the jury-had decided both defendants were guilty oh four counts. The maximum penalty with sentences running concurrently on all four counts would be 30 years. However, that would be doubled if the state, prior tp sentencing, files an information 'with the court proving the •lefpnd-’ ants are multiple felony offenders. At the request of the defense, the jury was polled. To the question that your verdict." eachjuror answered: “It is.” The atmosphere of fear which had Irting over the trial since 1 its beginning on March \lB had continued through to yesterday’s summations. in Ms summation, assistant district attorney James P. McG rattan told the jury he was con- ■ vinced the gate’s first important I witness, an elderly vault custodian, “was s<ared stiff” on the ? stand. That witness ha# failed positively to identify Sutton and Kling. ! Other bank employes did. • Sutton was arrested Feb. 18 i when the alertness of a 24-vear-otd i clothing salesman led police to him.
