Today gives an active and in

The native should not take life

Stabilized Defense Pay
Suggested by FIeminq

Expressing his opposition to statu-
tory wage control, Brig. Gen. Philip
B. Fleming, administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division. urged last
night the Standardization of wages
during the present emergency
through the industry committee
process used by the division in fixing
minimum wages.
The suggestion was made In an
address read for Gen. Fleming by
Baird Snyder, deputy administrator,
before the Pacific Logging Congress
at Seattle. Gen. Fleming is now
confined to Walter Reed Hospital
by leg infection.
Il am opposed to wage control,
if by wage control is meant the
freezing of the wage structure at
level existing at some particular
prior period" Gen. Fleming declared.
To freeze wages is to freeze as well
all the wage injustices and Unequal
tiles now existing.
Il am, however. in favor of a
reasonable and workable program
of wage sterilization. which is a
far different thing. A program of
that kind should start first by from
ing out existing inequalities and in
justices, and it should involve also
the necessity of adjustments from
time to time to increases in the cost
of living"

Auditor Advises
Caution in D. {.
Pay Raises
Would Have District
Hear From Controller
And Budget Bureau

While District officials are whole
heartedly in favor of immediate "au-
tomato" pay raises for eligible, clas-
sified municipal employees, as war
ranted under the Ramspeck-Mead
Act, the Commissioners were adj
vised today by District Auditor Ar
thur r. Pilkerton to take reasonable
precautions before they took the
plunge.
Specifically. he recommended two
steps: One, that the Budget Bureau
be asked to give a decision on a
request made recently by the city
heads for a deficiency appropriation
for $l15,000 to finance automatic
stepups for whic District CLASH
fled employees were eligible as Of
October l, and two, that Controller
General Lindsay Warren be asked
to rule on the specific question as
to whether the Ramspeck- Mead Act
superseded a provisio min the ap-
preparation act for the District for
this fiscal year limiting admins
trative pay advances to $4,000.
ABOUT E,lUU seen Eligible.
1t had been estimated that some
$500 District classified workers
would be affected by the Ramspeck-
Mead promotion bill, but that as of
October only about half this num-
Der would be eligible under the
service rule requirements of 10
months, in some cases, and 80
months, in others, before the auto
matte stepups you'd apply. On a
whole year basis, not accounting for
lapses, designations, discharges,
deaths, retirements or abolition of
jobs, the total annual costs would
be considerably in excess Of the
$115.000 sought as deficiency for
the last three quarters Of the current
fiscal year.
After reading the decision of Con-
troller General Warren, holding
that automatic pay increases were
mandatory" under the Ramspeck-
Mead Act and could be awarded re-
gardless of whether Congress had
made specific appropriations to
SoSCl DULL llCIcdScS, commissioner
Mason announced he favored grant
ing stepups now for eligible District
workers.
$1l5.0O0 Request Filed.
Shortly thereafter, it was revealed
the city heads recently had asked
the Budget Bureau for extra ap-
preparations to cover such costs up
to $ll5,000. So far, it is said, no
reply has been received from the
Budget Bureau.
District Auditor Pilkerton has ad-
vised Commissioner Mason of his
belief the District was covered by
the controller generals ruling but
because of reminder voiced by the
controller general that deficits"
should not be incurred, in his action
on a question raised by the Library
OF Congress. Mr.. Pilkerton advised
the city heads to apply to the Bud
get Bureau and the controller gen.
eral on the two municipal questions
before they awarded pay increases.
Commissioner Mason said he
would bring up the questions for
action by the Board Of Commits
sioners at an early session.
