ing salaries I'm the lower grades
Of the Federal service to double
elIe amount the employees received
under the Welch act, was passed
by the Senate this afternoon. The
amendment gives another raise
of 500 to those employees who
got 500 increase under the WelciI
act, and gives another $50 to
those who received this amount
under the same law. The amend
ment must go to conference with
the House before it becomes law.
The Senate today voted to
eliminate from the second de-
ficiency appropriation bill the
amendment attached by the
House calling for pay reduc-
tions in the Federal service.
Senator Brookhart's amendment
TO provide pay increases for employees
In the lower grades has not yet
been reached. A vote on this admend-
ment is expected later in the day
Without Dissenting Vote
The Senate approved the action of
its Appropriations Committee strik-
ing out the pay reduction amend
metnt without dissenting vote. The
The amendment directed the Per-
sonnel Classification Board to reduce
the salaries of 2,SOO higher paid
employees in Washington by a total
Of $500, 900 year.
The final decision on whether this
amendment will become law will be
made by Senate and House conterees
to whom the bill will be referred as
soon as the Senate takes action on it.
The amendment was proposed by
the House Appropriations Committee
to revoke the unexpectedly large
salary increases which the higher
paid employees Of the Government OBJ
tafned out of the Welch act as the
result of Comptroller-Genera Nc
Carts Interpretation of that law.
These raises ranged from $500 to
$2 900 a year. Es
The personnel board has recon-
nended that the reduction be made
in order to correct the inequalities
which have resulted from the adj
ministration of the WEIGH act. EN-
ployes doing the same kinds OF
work are getting different salaries
under the existing schedules. the
board told Congress.
Senator Smoot, personnel expert
of the Senate. and most of his
colleagues think, however. that this
is not the proper way to correct
the situation, because in most cases
although these raises were out of
proportion to other raises under
the Welch act, they were well de-
served.
The Federal Bar Association,
through it's president William r.
Valance, today announced it's op-
position to the salary-decrease
