Three Major Reforms for

They also point to the name Of
about 10 or IL Democrats whose
votes for full pay would not be
surprising.
In this latter group, are those
who some time during the past
have shown themselves especially
friendly to Government employees
relief; others who are coming up
for election this year, and will
support the full pay amendment
because of fear of reaction at the
polls, and others who are con-
sidered liberals, and have no fear
Of White House criticism for their
action.
All Favor Return
AS far as can be learned, there
Is not a member Of the Senate
who does not desire to give Gov
ernment workers full salaries.
Some, however, will vote against
the McCarran amendment simply
because the President has thus
far not given his sanction to
Congress legislating full pay at
this time, while q small bloc as
serts it conscientiouSly feels that
Governmental economies must be
continued as far as possible Pc
cause of the condition Of the
Treasury.
Administration spokesmen in
the Senate will put forward the
argument that the bill as re-
ported by the committee, S per
cent raise as of February and
another 5 per cent July l does
not necessarily mean that the
employees will not receive full pay
during the coming year, pointing
out that it contains clause
giving the President authority to
restore salaries If, at the end Of
each six months period, a cost
of living survey shows prices have
risen sufficiently.
Living Costs Cited
Full restoration advocates will
answer, however, by saying that
the cost of living method OF
determining salary rates is not
sound and that the bill, as re-
ported by the committee, gives
no assurance that the President
will order entire repeal OF the
pay cut under the authority given
him.
