Decision is ‘ticklish’
House to decide on pay raises
By EDMOND LEBRETON
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — The House of
Representatives faces a ticklish deci
sion on whether to accept a pay raise
this election year.
There is strong sentiment in both
parties in favor of amending the
legislative appropriation bill today to
deny funds for the pay raise that
otherwise will come automatically
Oct. 1.
For two years, the pay of members
of Congress has been tied to the
over-all government formula that
provides for cost-of-living increases.
If it is allowed to go into effect, the
1976 raise will increase members’
salaries from $44,600 to about
$46,740.
While key Democrats and Repub
licans agreed on the principle of
foregoing the pay hike, they squared
away for a rough partisan fight on
other proposals that the GOP minor
ity is pushing in the name of congres
sional reform.
Limiting perquisites and tighten
ing House fiscal practices has been a
prime political issue in the wake of
the sex-payroll scandals that mostly
involved accusations against Demo
crats.
Democrats contend they already
have taken important steps to curb
any abuses and that other major ac
tions should await recommendations
of Congress’ newly created Commis
sion on Administration Review.
At the behest of the House Demo
cratic caucus, the Democratic major
ity on the Rules Committee au
thorized floor corvsideratron of
amendments that would bar any pay
raise through Sept. 30, 1977. The
committee turned down Republican
demands that the appropriations bill
be opened up for a variety of other
amendments.
Committee, formerly h
Rep. Wayne L. Hays, D-Olj,
increase members' allowan^ S
out a vote of the whole Hon*.\
The Republican Policy Commit
tee said that if the Democratic major
ity refuses to let other amendments
come to a vote, “then charges will be
justified that the House remains a
semi-secret club, self-perpetuating
itself with generous allowances and
benefiting from hiring practices,
perquisites and automatic inflation--
triggered pay raises.”
Whatever action the Hon#)
take to deny itself thepai j
would not hind the Senate.it)
chamber would be under la
pressure to follow suit whenij|
ceives the bill.
Besides barring the pay raises, the
Democratic caucus-sponsored
amendments would give statutory
backing to the Review Commission
and to a resolution trimming the au

Hays asks sex charges droppe
By JIM ADAMS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Lawyers for
Rep. Wayne L. Hays and the House
Ethics Committee are negotiating a
deal for Hays to resign from Con
gress in return for a halt to the
panel’s investigation of payroll-sex
charges against him.
The bargaining hit a snag late yes
terday on a question of timing. The
Ethics Committee was reported to
be considering a resolution that said
Hays was resigning effective Sept. 8,
that the committee’s payroll-sex in
quiry would be suspended im
mediately when Hays’ letter of res
ignation was delivered but that the
investigation would not completely
terminate until he actually resigns.
The Hays case also is being inves
tigated by the Justice Department to
determine whether the con
gressman should be prosecuted. Any
Hays resignation would have no im
pact on that investigation.
A reliable source said the Ohio
Democrat had been expected Tues
day to deliver his resignation letter
to Speaker Carl Albert and then to
the Ethics Committee.
But sources later said Hays’ repre
sentatives had not left the letter with
the committee. The Hays’ represen
tatives indicated they objected to the
committee’s reluctance to guarantee
that its inquiry will end until Hays
actually leaves office.
The Ethics Committee adjourned
Tuesday without taking any action
on its resolution to terminate the
payroll-sex investigation and Chair
man John). Flynt scheduled another
meeting today.
Judah Best, Hays’ lawyer, and
Hays’ press secretary, Carol Claw
son, met with Flynt and Ethics
Committee staff members for more
than an hour after that.
The Ethics Committee investiga
tion had been requested by Hays
himself three months ago after
Elizabeth Ray accused him of keep
ing her on his House Administration
Committee payroll to be his mis
tress.
Hays admitted he had had a per
sonal relationship with her but said
I;:'
the Ethics Committee inveslif
would exonerate him by estaUi.
that she had done committen
for her $14,(XX) a year.
But when Hays dropped ki
election campaign three week:-
he said in an interview thatoiei
son was that “I don’t wanttogive
woman a chance to make and
appearance.”
His offer to resign from Crag
was reportedly made shortly
the Ethics Committee vs
Monday to begin hearings Sqi
despite his lawyer’s plea
too depressed to defend hirasdl
Committee members have
resignation would make theirii
tigation moot.
Moslems, Palestinians say Syrians threate
Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon-—The embat
tled alliance of Moslem leftists and
Palestinian guerrillas today talked of
threats from the north and south,
charging new Syrian reinforcements
and a possibility of Israeli interven
tion in Lebanon’s civil war.
Leftist newspapers claimed that
7,000 more Syrian troops had
crossed into northern Lebanon yes
terday to tighten the ring around the
isolated Moslem port city of Tripoli
and two nearby Palestinian refugee
camps. There was no confimation of
the reports, however.
Moslem spokesmen said they also
feared that the Israeli army would
try to take control of Palestinian
guerrilla bases in southern Lebanon
following a clash between guerrillas
and Christian militiamen in the vil
lage of Ein Ibil, three miles north of
the Israeli border.
The leftists said an Israeli an
nouncement that Christian leaders
in the village asked for Israeli protec
tion might be a pretext for an Israeli
invasion.
Moslem spokesmen pointed out
that Syria’s military intervention in
June was preceded by requests from
beleaguered Christian towns in
northern and eastern Lebanon for
protection from Palestinian and
Moslem attacks.
Four Palestinians from Yasir
Arafat s Al Fatah guerrillas and three
Christians were killed in the clash at
Ein Ibil, the home village of Maro-
nite Patriarch Antonious Khreish.
The Maronites, Lebanon’s largest
Christian sect, dominated the gov
ernment and the economy before
the war.
Lebanon’s Christian president
elect, Elias Sarkis, returned from a
one-day visit to Syrian President
Hafez Assad.
Beirut newspapers reported that
Assad was demanding the removal of
Arafat from the leadership of the
Palestine Liberation Organization,
the umbrella Palestinian orpi
tion.
On the battle fronts, thewI
Christians and Moslems madefi
into each other’s sectors ofBf
and longrange artillery barragesi

mountains. Hospital officials
mated that more than 90 pes
were killed and 130 woundedii
