The Assumptionist Order in the United States said it would apply soon to the Soviet government for permission to send a replace ment for Father Bissonnette. The Rev. Louis F.

The new law raises the pay of members of the House and Sen ate from $16,000 a year to $22,500, a jump of $7500 or 50 per cent. It also raises the pay of approxi mately 400 judges by $7500 to $lO,- 000. There are also increases for United States attorneys and their assistants. Eisenhower said with a grin that Congress members should be paid well but not to forget that the jgovernment would get half of it back in income taxes. Actually* the amount of tax will vary according to whether members have outside income and if so, how much. In the case of a very Wealthy lawmaker, the tax rate runs as high as 90 per cent. But, taking a member who has no outside income and who uses the standard Income tax deduc tion permitted anybody, plus the $3OOO tax-free deduction permit ted members of Congress the per cent he has to pay in taxes will not be so high. At the present salary basis, his tax would be $2148. With the raise, his tax would be $4362 or almost 30 per cent of the $7500 raise. Eisenhower said members of Congress have unusual expenses, including the need for maintain ing two homes' and the need of going back to their districts from time to time. He said the pay boost fitted into the idea of en couraging good men of modest means to serve their country. He added that while the sena tors and representatives ' voted themselves this raise, they also included judges and other parts of the judiciary who have, he said, been badly underpaid.
