TWENTY PAGES MOSCOW (AP) -- The Krem- ") lin called today for a popular " efvont against the United States, modelled on the Soviet attempt to lead opponents of Hitler in the 1930s, ° The Soviet Communist party combined this appeal to unite diverse political factions in many countries behind the Kremlin with another call for healing the Moscow - Peking split, In a remark apparently di- rected at Peking, the party newspaper Pravda said "com- placent sectarianism' has be- come an "ingrained vice" in some Communist parties. Unity) 'was needed, it added. With considerable rewriting of history, Pravda made the ap- peal in an article on the 30th anniversary of the seventh con- gress of the Communist Inter- national which launched the anti - Hitler Popular Front in 1935. The Communist International, or Comintern, was an organiza: tion of the world's Communist parties under Kremlin control. The Pravda article implied, but did not state openly as was done here last May, an accu- sation that the United States has taken over the role of Nazi Germany on the world scene. Another Communist party ublication, the theoreti- cal journal Conj/munist, charged that "the main force of war and aggression in our time is American imperialism." Kommunist said. "American strategists are deceiving the people of the United States, €% edly achieve e all problems and, ¥ important, achieve ited "'global' goals with limi means,"' Kommunist * accused dent Johnson of " functioning of the litical machine' by hands." also was practising a new for- eign. policy--"Johnsonian glob- alism"'--that is dangerous to the cause of peace, "This new doctrine , . . con- sists of unqualified treatment of the entire territory of the cap- italist world as the zone of the United States' interests,"" Kom- munist said.

C. Anderson of Belleville, which was made public today, The report suggests addi- tional salary increases for class D employees which would mean raises of up to $545 a year when coupled with earlier increases. On a percentage basis the raises are comparable to those given postal workers--also in class D--a few weeks ago, Mr. Benson told reporters, The other federal workers in this class represent a wide range of trades including eleva- tor operators, beekeepers, im- migration officers and elec- tronic technicians. retroactive to Aug. 1 this year. HELPERS INCLUDED Part-time postal help, ex- cluded from the judge's first report, were included this time. The postal helpers will receive an extra five cents an hour--a boost to $1,55--and part time letter carriers seven cents giving them $1.96. Judge Anderson recom: mended that a boot allowance of $60 a year be included in postal workers' salaries, He said present procedures used before the allowance is pai sometimes cause annoying de- lays, He said his final report on the remaining 3,000 employees \in group D will include a rec- ommendation that these per- sons receive additional pay in- creases of at least $190 a year. Mr. Benson said a consultant to examine working conditions and grievances of postal work- ers probably will be named} early next week, Judge Anderson said a con- sultant should examine whether present hourly rates for part- time employees are satisfactory and "reflect adequately their responsibilities . and conditions of employment." The consultant should study whether it is necessary to con- tinue the practice of keeping the same postal workers on a night shift for many years. OUTLINES. COST Mr, Benson said the increases} will cost $4,700,000 in a full year} and will result in an additional federal contribution to the su- perannuation fund of $6,600,000.

Horses have also come down with the malady at Stette ler, 90 miles southeast of Ed- monton and at Prinre Albert, In Montana, just south of the Canadian border, the outbreak among horses was said to be more serious than usual.
