Here is the inside story of what happened afterward. , The Russian move naturally did not strike too responsive a cord in U, 8. Government circles, because multaneously UNRRA is being ked to feed starving thousands in certain parts of Russia, especially White Russia. . Als6 the fact that France is in the throes of an important elec- tion fight can’t be ignored, That! election, the first in ten years, will decide whether the Communists se- cure control of France, and the sending of Russian grain to France at this particular time is bound to ;}uve a powerful psychological ef- ect. Despite this obvious political play, however, and despite the fact that UNRRA is helping part of Russla while Russia feeds France, the U. S. War Shipping Adminis- tration sent ten vessels to Odessa ch Soviet request to pick up the Russian grain and take it to France. When these ships arrived at ) Odessa, however, they found no grain. In fact, at this writing, they were reported still waiting at an- | chor in Odessa harbor. What the Russians had done was will be required. The -bill is not yet law and it may give way to a compromise measure, for the Senate already has voted to raise the pay of Fed- eral workers about 11 percent. ‘The provision making the pay raise of some workers contingent on the firing of others was intro- {duced yesterday by Rep. Dirksen (R-IIl.), and quickly approved. He estimated that on the basis of an average $2,000 annual salary, the charge 200,000 employes between now and July 1 to finance the pay | boost.
