WEIGH BILL FAVOR
SEEN AT HEARING
Redistribution of Field En-
pIoyeS Indicated by Com
mittee Questions.

stronger indications were given today
by members Of the House civil service
committee. following an executive SeS-
sion. that some modification OF the
WEIGH bill will be reported favorably to
the House. which will carry a Step-up
I'm salary for the low-paid employees OF
the Government corresponding to the
minimum salary Of $500 which the
Welch bill proposes.
There was rather sharp questioning
cf members Of the Personnel ClaSslhca-
ton Board at the executive session to-
6av. indicating that the attitude OF the
House committee is 70 hold the admin
fstrative agency TO a reclaSSification of
field employeS even though 1t has been
poStpOned through administering ma
neuverin9 in Difference TO the Budget
Bureaus economy program.
Il was made plain today when Guy
Ncffett, representing the civil Service
Commission and the Personnel CIaS-
Sifjcation Board. and William H Nc
Reynolds. representing the Bureau OF
Efficiency on the Personnel Board. were
before the civil service committee. that
ii was the intent Of Congress that the
field employees should be given proper
pav increases through a bona fide re-
classification and that the committee
intends in the forthcoming legislation
10 insist that such reclaSSidcation of the
field force be made.
Herbert D. Brown. chief OF the Bu-
reau OF Efficiency. and Etheloert Stew
art. commissioner Of labor statistics,
we're also witnesses before the commit
tee
The committee made it very plain that
before reporting the Welch pill they IN
tend to be convinced that the increases
IN salary shall apply to field employees
as well as to those in the District Of
Columbia
Expressing his own fear that the ad-
nainiStrative policy may be TO defer ac-
tion on proposed increases, even though
they are recognized to be meritoriouS,
IN the ground that there is not sufficient
detailed statistical information on
which 10 compile the complicated sched-
ules under reclaSSihcation, Representa-
tive Woo6rum, Democrat, Of Virginia
asked if a scheme he has in mind would
not be feasible This is 70 take care Of
the low-paid employees who are known 10
be IN real distress by allowing a per-
centage increase with different amounts
for the various salary ranges as, for
example, 25 per cent for all those now
receiving less than 81 800. and grading

down 20 per cent for those now re-
ceiving $4,000.

HITS EXPENDITURES
ON STREET REPAIRS
Citizens Association Official
Says Permanent Highway
Plan Suffers.

Attention OF the Gibson subcommittee
of the House District committee, was
called today to the fact that four -tifths
of the approximately $4,000, 900 spent
on street improvements and repairs In
the District is going into temporary
repairs, instead OF permanent founda-
tons Tor a great highway system.
This presentation was made by VIII
liam Arthur Shelton. chairman OF the
committee on streets Of the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association
In antithesis TO the action in the
District, Mr.. Shelton claimed that De-
troit is spending less than 10 per cent OF
Its appropriations on repairs as against
the four-fifths that the District Is ex-
pending on temporary Improvements.
Maryland, the District and Buffalo
are the three outstanding examples in
the country where funds for highway
improvement are being expended in
temporary work rather than on perma-
nent construction he said.
The Gibson subcommittee today COM
pleted It's conferences with representa-
tives of the Bureau OF Efficiency on
their proposals for expediting the work
