President chides House for boosting its payroll alone
President Truman signed a bill granting House members 3000 dollars more for clerical help and 500 dollars yearly for phone and telegraph messages. He urged raising salaries for key executive officials, noting no action on such bills despite weeks of committee reports. The cost runs about 1.3 million annually versus 1.314 million for clerk hire under the bill.
