$302,000,000 pay raise for the

Armed Forces. ' . a The SenAe had approved the bill by voice vote late yesterday, with "clarifying" amendments which the House accepted. The House originally had approved a military pay bill several weeks ago. .V The bill, granting the first general military pay increase in 40 years, means that every rank in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Marines will share in the increase with - top brass getting the most a 50 per cent hike in base pay. unlisted men previously had received a separate pay boost. The new measure, which now goes to President Truman for signature, provides that recruits with five months' service would get a $5 a month pay hike. Some 400 brigadier generals and officers of " comparable rank in other services would get the biggest raise, amounting to 50 per cent in basic pay. It was expected the increase would become effective Oct. 1. . Meanwhile, Democratic leaders urged speedy Senate approval of pay raises for key government officials, but they conceded that they would have to settle .for somewhat less thau President Truman recommended.

Calls Minton For Questioning ' WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. (U.R) The Senate Judiciary Committee, in an unusual action, voted today to call Judge Sherman Minton for questioning on the Supreme Court nominee's "court packing" views of a decade ago, Minton, nominated by President Truman to succeed the late Justice Wiley B. Rutledge, was a Senatorial supporter of the late President Roosevelt's unsuccessful effort to increase the court's

'membership. Mr. Roosevelt had

urged the move to redress what he considered the imhalance be

tween conservative and liberal

members of the court.

Supreme Court nominees usual

ly are 'given committee approval without being subjected to questioning. Today's departure from

this procedure was on a 5 to 4

vote after Sens. Homer Ferguson, R Mich., and Forrest C. Donnell,

R., Mo, raised the questions about

Minton's political philosophy.

since fighting for the so-called

court packing plan. They also brought up a bill Minton had introduced as Senator calling - for punishment with fines and prison terms of newspaper publishers who "knowingly" published any

ed to keep the economy growing and expanding. To- make this, possible, he said, Congress ' ii working on laws to assure better use of natural resources, to :levelop more electric power and to bring water to areas that ars arid. "Above all else we want to keep the United States prosperous and strong because we know that our prosperity is the best guarantee of peace," he said., . "Every measure to promote the general welfare in this country is a measure to promote peace in the world. Fc.' Prosperity "The program of the Democratic party is a program for prosperity and peace. It can be made tficctive only thougii the united tfforts of the citizens.'! - Mr. Truman spoke from tVe White House on a program spon-? sored by tue womti j uivisiua of the Democratic national committee. The program was in observation of the party's annual "Democratic Women's Day." .The President directed his appeal mainly to women, inviting them'-, to "look beneath ths labels" of his proposals and of the attacks on those proposals. He was introduced by Mrs. Ind:a Edwards, executive director of tne women's division oi tiis Democratic national committee. Mrs. Edwards earlier interviewed three women selected as typical. Hope For Peace They were Mrs. Elsie West, Lothian, Md., a widow who runs a farm; Mrs. Albert C. Hulihan, Slippery Rock, Pa., wife of a former coal miner; and -Mrs. George London, Raleigh, NVC, wife of a small businessman. All expressed hopes for a

peaceful, prosperous! world. ','It is interesting to see how these three .points of view (farmer, worker, businessman) fit together,"- said MY. Truman. "Each of these groups depends on the other." Mr. Truman has been under steady fire from Republican orators on the ground the measures he advocates will lead America to socialism or tbe "welfare state." His broadcast was an obvious reply tq . this criticism. Bid For Support It also was a bid for popular

support lor some of his proposals on which action is lagging in CongresSj or on which' Congress has balked altogether.- He covered most of the ground but notabiy made no mention this" time of repealing the Taft-Hart

ley law.

That was a main point in his

campaign speeches, but Congress has turned its back, and shows

no sign of getting into line any time soon. Mr. Truman's address was broadcast ' nationally by three networks Mutual Broadcasting System, American Broadcasting Company, and Columbia Broadcasting System.

Funeral services will be con
