House Leaders Push Loan Bill
Congress approved a 44 million loan package for snowed in farmers and ranchers in the western disaster belt and backed a 16 million donation to the United Nations to aid displaced Jews and Arabs in the Middle East. The House moved the loan bill for quick passage, with Senate action expected next week. Senate action signaled on the displaced persons fund, then House consideration. Republicans and Democrats maintain a gentleman's agreement to limit business as members take part in Washington events and fundraisers. The blizzard relief would fund the Regional Agricultural Credit Corp and minor changes were anticipated to narrow broad language. A light week with routine sessions and a reading of Washington's farewell address Tuesday.

Military Pay Hike Studied by Congressional Hearing
Washington February 21 A military pay bill advancing raises for high ranking officers and broad increases for most ranks began hearings. The House Armed Services Committee heard Defense Secretary Forrestal as the first witness. The measure costs about 400 million dollars yearly and ranges from 3.03 percent for privates to nearly 50 percent for generals and admirals. The plan comes from the civilian Hook commission which urged parity with civilian pay for similar responsibilities while warning against creating a favored military class. Top officer pay has risen little since 1908, while upper enlisted pay has doubled and lowest enlisted pay quadrupled in that span.
