Frank Carlson (DKens.) an administration support* er, to substitute the 7.6 percent boost The house rejected this smaller raise for postal employes last Monday 302 to 119. Murray told newsmen that It was apparent from the*house vote that members favored more than the administration recommended but did not believe the house would accept 10 percent. A group of house Democrats has prepared an amendment which would boost salaries an average of 8.1 percent This proposal will be submitted by Rep. John Moss (D-Cal.) a member of Murray’s committee. There was varying opinion on whether congress woul doverride a presidential veto. Last year, the President rejected a five percent pay raise for employes after congress had adjourned. Moss said “the odds are excellent that any presidential veto of a federal employe pay bill providing a moderate raise will be overridden by congress." However, two Republicans, Reps. Robert W. Kean, (N.J.) and Albert P. Morano, (Conn.) thought differently.

The Training Camps (By I. N. S.) By International News Service The new Bob Grim, they’re calling him around the Yankee camp. v That's righthander Johnny Kucks, the last non-roster player on the New York pitching squad, who did a take-off on Grim Friday that practically guarantee he'll be showering Yankee Stadium all summer. The 21-year-old Jersey City hurler held Brooklyn to three singles and one run in his seven-inning debut Friday at St. Petersburg before 7,212 fans, largest crowd of the exhibition season in Florida. Ewell Blackwell worked the last two innings to sew up the s*to-l win. Bob Cerv homered for 'the Bombef*. The parallel between the 6-foot--3 Kucks and the American League rookie of 1954 is all the more remarkable considering that Grim, like Kucks, was on the Binghampton roster and pitched with similar impressiveness against the same club In Florida last March. While the Yankees were marvelling at their rookie discovery, a man 15 years his senior was giving the Chicago White Sox a few thrills at Lakeland. Virgil Trucks, who'll be 36 in s couple of weeks, held the Tigers to three hits in five innings. One of them was a two-run homer by Al Kaline but Virgil attoned for that by batting in three runs with a couple of his own homers. Trucks was three for four at the plate. Chico Carraseqnel’s bases-loaded four-bagger in the seventh completed the 14-to-5 route of Detroit. In a slug-happy night game at Atlanta, Milwaukee batters collected 15 hits, five of them homeruns, for a 13-to-5 win over Atlanta of the Southern Association. Joe Adeock hit two, and solo blasts came from Del Crandall, Bill Caro and George Crowe. Rookie Bob Lennon slammed, his first spring homer to help the New York Giants to a 6-to-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Phoenix. Wes Westrum also homered for the world champs and Dee Fondy for the Cubs. Elsewhere, Pittsburgh defeated Boston, 5 to 3. at Fort Myers; Philadelphia beat St. Louis, 7 to 6. at Clearwater, and Baltimore vSECRETARY OF STATE John Foster Dulles tells the Senate flnance committee that President Eisenhower plans to send * message to Congress explaining the proposed new international trade organization, which ha said would provide a “forum” where nations may negotiate agreements. v (InterwaMoiMA)

Y. (INS)— A civilian demolition export, working with U. S. army engineers, ' will blast the massive Niagara River ice jam with dynamite today. The towering ice jam, which extends along six miles of the river, has crushed homes and piers and caused damage, estimated at more than a million dollars. Huge bulges of ice are massed in the gorge below the American and Horseshoe falls. The renowned whirlpool is covered solidly with ice for the first time in recorded history. __ The corps of engineers said the blasting operation would be conducted by a demolition expert lowered to the ice from an air force helicopter. The site of the blast. will be about 1,000 feet from the mouth of Lake Ontario where an ice bottleneck has formed. It holes cannot be found in the ice,surface to permit blasting below the crust, a drill will be used. ArrUy engineers said more than one blasting attempt will be made If the first proves unsuccessful.

© ; 1 Wes Santee Is Near To Record In Indoor Mile CHICAGO (INS) — Wes Santee's near record mile in the Knights of Columbus meet at Cleveland makes the Kansas cowboy a prohibitive favorite to win the Bankers Mile tonight in the Chicago relays at the stadium. The sharp-striding Kansan won the K. of C. mile Friday night in four minutes, 4.8 seconds — only one second slower than the indoor world record of 4:03.6 established last month by Gunnar Nielsen of Denmark in New York. Wes's swift running shattered the meet mark of 4:08.5 established by Gil Dodd in 1947. The strong possibility that Santee might tower the world mark on the stadium's new and lightning fast sprbce track adds zest to the Bankers Mile where a select field has been lined up to push the Kansan to the limit. It includes Art Dalzell, Wes’ familiar. pacemaker from Kansas; Bob McMillen, former Occidental college and U. S. Olympic star; Bill Squires. Notre Dame ace; Phil Coleman, of Chicago; and Charles Jones of lowa. Santee's fastest indoor mile this season was 4:03.8 — only two tenths of a second slower than Nielsen’s record effort. The Bankers Mile record of 4:96,4. wag set by Dodds. An event that promises to rival the mile in interest is the Frank Hill 600-yards. Mai Whitfield, who holds the world record of 1:09.5 for the 600, is seeking his fifth straight victory in the meet but will be pressed by a crack field. The compqition includes Kevan Gosper, Australian star running for Michigan State; John Barnes, twice winner of the National Collegiate championship; and Joe Gaffney of Philadelphia. The high hurdles promises another keen battle, with veteran Harrison Dillard pitted against two Ilifaois stars,' Abe Woodson and Willard Thomson. Woodson tied the world record of 6.1 seconds March 12 in the Milwaukee Games. The two-mile race pits old rivals against each other in Horace Ashenfelter and Fred Wilt. The Rev. Bob (Richards, perennial pole vault winner, is favored to dethrone Don Laz and Jerry Welbourne. the 1954 meet cochampions. Photographers Hold Annual Convention FRENCH LICK.
