In 1950, there would go into effect the major provisions of a long-range support program drafted in the senate. In signing the bill, Mr. Tru man said. "I wish to make it plain once again that legislation for price supports is only part of the action this congress should have taken to meet the problems Lof American agriculture. ' He said congress failed to enact legislation to strengthen the soil conservation program, did not provide adequate funds for marketing research, did not enact a stand-by program for improving diets of low-income families, . and did not act on the international wheat agreement.

The leaders come from party organizations in 16 states Trumqn Signs Pay Raise Bill WASHINGTON, July 3. ( , President Truman today sifted a bill increasing the salaries of some 1,300,000 federal- employes. But he said it is "ridiculous" violation of the principles of sound management. Mr. Truman : said that under the flat pay rises provided, the heads of some agencies, boards and commissions wiu receive $10,000 annually, while , some of their employes will get $iu,juu a year. The measure gives $450-a-year pay rises to 480,000 postal workers work-ers and $330-a-year rises to 850,-000 850,-000 classified civil service work ers. They are effective as ot July 1. It also will boost many postal rates next Jan. 1. Aif mail rates eo uo one cent an ounce. Third class and bulk mail rates also will be boosted. The extra money will help pay the cost of the pay raises. Mr. Truman said previous leg islation substantially reduced the era n i htwpen uDiser and lower pay grades. It is further reduced by this legislation, he said. Under .the law now, Mr. Truman said, startinr employes-may receive slightly less than S3000 year, wnue some of tne lunorn out standing scientists will get only $10430 after 20 or Z5 years service. "This is, of course, a violation of the principles of sound 'man agement, he said, "l Know oi no other way to characterize it than to say that it is ridiculous." Mr. Truman said no successful industrial concern would tolerate a situation providing such a narrow spread between starting salaries and the general salary ceiling. , But he said he signed the legis lation because congress failed to take action to hold down the cost of living. "It is only fair that federal em Dloves should be given pay in creases to offset in . some degree the constantly rising cost of llv ing," he said. and 31 died in miscellaneous mis- haDf.

Sokolovsky, Soviet commander in Germany, today flatly refused to lift the 13-day "starvation", blockade of Berlin. ' The refusal came during a 20-minute conference ' at his headquarters with Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the American military governor; Gen. Sir Brian, Robertson, the British commander, and MajL Koger E. Noiret, representing Gen. Pierre Koenig, the itrench commander. A western spokesman said the atmpspher was "cool" and "we were able to obtain no I assurances. A British official statement said no results were ob tained. ! Later Sokolovsky issued a state ment to the Soviet news bureau, which said he was doing everything every-thing possible to "repalr'f the rail lines linking Berlin with the western occupation zones. The Russians closed the railroads on grounds that they had been used "more and more in the last three years" and -needed repair. In! the same statement, Sokolovsky. So-kolovsky. tore Into Britain, France and the United States for "forcing the ban" I by issuing is-suing a new currency for the western tones, June 19. He said as he had said before that Soviet authorities consider ed it their "sacred duty" to declare de-clare the ban in order to protect the interests and the economy of the Soviet zone's 20,000,000 Ger. mans. The western powers should have known, Sokolovsky added, that the London conference would force Russia to take such restrictive restric-tive measures. The western pow ers decided at London to estab lish a separate west German gov ernment Representatives of the United States, Britain, and France told the Russian - commander that the blockade was becoming a "serf ous matter." They asked for as surances that the "technical au-ficulUesVwhrch au-ficulUesVwhrch tne Russiansay are ; responsible - for blockading railroads, . highways, and . barge canals would be overcome soon and the blockade lifted. They re ceived nope. The western allied officials, in cluding Gen, Lucius 1 D. Clay, American commander-in-c h I e f , met with Sokolovsky in what was believed to be a final' effort to settle the mounting Berlin crisis without a formal protest by the three western governments di recUv to the Kremlin. The Soviet commander's curt refusal to lift the embargo made such a protest appear virtually inevitable. An American spokesman said the three western officials went to see Sokolovsky to tell him that "the traffic blockade which affects a large part of the Berlin population popu-lation Is becoming a, serious matter mat-ter and we wished' some assur ances as to when technical dlf flculties would be overcome, und seek assurance they would be overcome at an early date, The Russians sealed: the west ern border of their zone a few hours after the western allies an nouiiced new currency for their zones June 19.
