Eisenhower Vetoes Bill
Hiking Federal Wages
WASHINGTON (iP) President Eisenhower yesterday denounced and vetoed a bill to
raise the pay of 1 1 / 2 million government workers a total of 764 million dollars a year.
His veto message, unusual for its sharp language, struck at "shocking, deplorable"
lobbying activities he ascribed to some postal workers.
"I am informed," he said, "that the enactment was attended by intensive and uncon-

LEOPOLDVILLE, Republic of
Congo (/ 3 )—Premier Patrice Lu
mumba yesterday accused the
Belgians of inflicting "atrocious
sufferings" on the Congolese peo
ple in their 80 years of rule over
this African land.
He delivered this parting shot
at his former colonial masters as
they turned over the country to
its new native leaders.
"We hai'e known ironies and in
sults, the blows to which we have,
had to submit morning, noon and
night because we are Negroes,"
Lumumba' said at independence
ceremonies attended by his par
liamentary colleagues, assembled
dignitaries of the church and di
plomatic corps, and King Bau
douin of 'Belgium.
Lamumba's words provided the
only acid in the otherwise friend
ly speechmaking that inaugurat
ed the new republic.
A few hours later Lumumba, a
former postal clerk once jailed by
the Belgians on charges of incit
ing a nationalist riot, almost re
versed himself. He expressed his
government's thanks to Baudouin
and "the 'noble Belgian people"
for their decision to free the
Congo.

TOKYO (/P) While the world
watched the giant left wing dem
onstrations in Tokyo with fascina
tion and wondered what road this
country would ultimately travel,
the people who form the backbone
of the nation went about their
daily tasks.
Only a handful of the nation's
98 million people . were involved
in the demonstrations in the ma
jor cities.
Even in Tokyo, the demonstra
tions centered around three or
four sites, A few minutes walk
away from the shouting an d
screaming, there were quiet
streets where old folks watched
the babies. It was as if two worlds
were living side by side.
Outside the cities, the rural folk
saw the demonstrations on tele
vision, unaware of or indifferent
to the issues of communism or al
legiance to the West.
Concerned with their rice plant
ing or store tending, they gave
little thought to the questions of
anti-Americanism or military re
vival or the fate of parliamentary
democracy.
These are the people who make
up Japan. The nation has 53 mil
lion eligible voters and in post-
cealed political pressure exerted
flagrantly and in concert on mem
bers of Congress by a number of
postal field service employees,
particularly their leadership."
"Were the pressure tactics sur
rounding the passage of this bill,'
and apparently further intended
in the event of its veto, widely
known to the American people,
their indignation and outrage in
all its power would be quickly
felt—and rightly so," he added. '
The House will vote today on
whether to pass the bill over
Eisenhower's veto. The bill
originally passed the House 377-
40 and the Senate 62-17, mar
gins far more than the two
thirds that would be needed to
enact the bill despite the veto.
However, a House Republican
spokesman , expressed belief the
veto would be upheld, through a
switch of Republican votes to Ei
senhower's side. If the House
should vote to sustain the veto,
the Senate would not vote on it.

Eisenhower has been overrid

Eisenhower had two main ob

Idition to the lobbying complaint.

he said. He would be willing

war elections the turnout has
ranged between 70 and 80 per
cent. The great bulk of the votes
come from the "silent people."
Hideo Yoshikawa, 64, owner of
a country grocery store, 30 miles
from Tokyo, said:
"Naturally we read a lot about
the demonstrations but they don't
concern us in the country. They're
making a fuss about the new U.S.-
Japan security treaty, but I'm
not for or against it. Frankly I
don't know what it's about."
I This kind of ignorance has led
to criticism of the government of
Premier Nobusuke Kishi as aloof
and arrogant and unwilling to
!take the time to ".;e11" the US.-
!Japan security pact.
Many observers see in this in
difference and unconcern of the
masses the opening wedge for ex
treme right or left to impose theh
.tyrannies on the people.
Japanese on the whole look un-I
questioningly for leadership in k
their politicians because politics'
is their business. as governing was
the business of feudal lords. And
if they follow their politicians un
questioningly, so did their an
cestors the 'orders of their supe
riors.
These are the people who will
follow whatever force emerges
the winner in the continuing do
mestic struggle for power.

Senate Sets
Recess With
63-26 Vote
WASHINGTON (1P) In the
face of a House Republican re
volt, the Senate voted 63-26 to ad
journ tomorrow and come back
to work Aug. 8, after the na
tional party convention.
The House will vote, probably
tomorrow, and Speaker Sam Ray
burn (D-Tex) predicted "we're go
ing to recess" despite a decision
by heavily outnumbered House
Republicans to fight. There was
some talk that the House might
favpr returning to work Aug. 15.
Both House and Senate must ap
prove any extended adjournment
or recess.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
pressed for a Senate vote only
a few hours after 125 House
Republicans had thrown down
the challenge at a caucus.
Senate Republican Leader Ever
ett M. Dirksen of Illinois joined
Johnson in sponsoring the ad
journment resolution.
On the test, 53 Democrats and
10 Republicans voted for the five
week adjournment. Twenty Re
publicans and 6 Democrats op
posed it.
In a free-wheeling speech ahead
of the vote, Johnson struck back
at charges by GOP National
IChairman Thurston B. Morton and
other Republicans that the Demo
cratic-run Congress has dilly-dal
lied.
Only a "phony or a hypo
crite" would pretend there was
any chance to complete Con
gress' work before the conven
tions, Johnson told Sen. Wil
liam Proxmire (D-Wis), who
demanded that Congress try.
In scornful tones, Johnson dis
missed Morton's suggestion that
the adjournment is part of a deal
for a Democratic ticket of John
son and Sen. John F. Kennedy.
!Adiai—No Real Objections
To Being Party Choice
WASHINGTON (4)) Adlai E.
Stevenson said last night he has
no real objections to having his
name placed in nomination at the
Democratic National Convention.

Burdick Wins Seat
in N. Dakota Race
FARGO, N.D. (il 3 ) Freshman Rep. Quentin N. Burdick, a
Democratic trailblazer in farmbelt North Dakota, yesterday
apparently won the special North Dakota Senate race in a
dramatic finish.,
Returns from all three of the historically Republican
state's 2,313 precincts showed this
unofficial tally in his race with
GOP Gov. John Davis:
Burdick 104,373
Davis 103,422
But Davis refused to make any
concession, and the tightness of
Burdick's margin less than 1,000
votes indicated no final ver
dict could be made until the State
Canvassing Board runs an offi
cial count. This must be within
20 days,
Late returns from the farm
and ranch country, wellspring
Burdick's strength, buoyed the
Fargo lawyer as the counting
went down to • the final pre
cincts.
The remaining three precincts
are in rural McKenzie County in
the West River area and the' au
ditor said , they should arrive by
mail today,
It was a spectacularly close
race in which Davis, 46, rolled into
a 8,000-vote lead in the early city
tabulation and then lost it bit by
hit in the face of Burdick's stub
born strength in the country. Bur
dick, 52, caught up late yesterday,
nearly 24 hours after the voting
ended, and held on once he got
in front.
Strategists en both parties
agreed in advance the North
Dakota race might be a por
tent of Midwestern political
sentiment in this presidential
election year.
Burdick, a tall, muscular figure
who carried the legacy of a fa
mous North Dakota political
name, only two years ago became
the first Democrat elected to the
House from North Dakota.
Only four times before' has a
Democrat been sent to the Senate
in 71 years of North Dakota state
hood. Three were appointed or
named by the Legislature.

Business Drops
In Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (?P) Business
conditions in the Pittsburgh dis
trict declined two per cent in the
week ended June 25, the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh's bureau of
business research reported yes
terday.
The bureau's seasonally ad
justed index stood' at the 98 per
cent mark, compared with the
1947-49 level of 100 per cent. In
the same week of 1959 the index
stood at 112 per cent.
Iron and steel production de
clined for the 15th consecutive
week. During this period it has
dropped 39 per cent.
McDonald said basic steel pro
duction this week was reported at
slightly less than 53 per cent of
capacity and is expected to drop
to 48 per cent next week. He
added:
"The sad state of conditions is
exemplified by the fact that at
this level the United States is
producing less steel than Soviet
Russia.
Meanwhile, Jones & Laughlin
Steel Corp. suspended production
at its Pittsburgh works for 10
days. Production at the Aliquippa
works will be suspended for 32
hours beginning at midnight Sun
day and at the Cleveland works
for 48 hours beginning at 7 am,
Sunday.
Other steel companies are plan
ning reduced work schedules dur
ing the July 4 holiday.
