Commissioners Delay
Raises in Pay Until
Funds Are Voted
Decision Is Reached After
Suggestion Of Auditor
And Budget Officer

The Commissioners decided today
to postpone pay raises for some
1000 District employees provided un-
der the Ramspeck-Mead Act until
funds are made available by Con-
gress.
A request for a $l15,O00 deficiency
appropriation has been made to
carry out the act, but no raises will
be granted until the funds are voted
The Commissioners acted on rec
ommendation of Auditor A. r.
Pilkerton and Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler.
District officials were confronted
with an unusual situation in that
the Budget Bureau had asked that
no step-ups be granted until funds
were available. while the controller
general has ruled that the employees
may be paid the increases through
advances even though a deficiency
NAV be incurred.
While the Controller Generals de-
cision was addressed to the librarian
of Congress it is an Interpretation
of an act made applicable to the
District and Mr.. Pilkerton said there
was little doubt in his mind but that
the expenditures would be author
lied at least to the extent of the $50
900 limitation for administrative
promotions carried in the present
appropriation act
Mr.. Pilkerton told the Commits
sioners he had conferred with the
librarian of Congress and also the
Treasury Department and had been
told they intended to follow the
recommendation of the Budget Bu-
reau.
Il believe it would be unwise to
establish a different policy in the
District from that adopted by the
Federal Government" the auditor
advised the city heads.

patton. and of "inciting Soviet troops
in Odessa to useless murder merely
to cause us losses" during the two
