tions from the best Navy Yard me-
chanics. This worked out satis-
factorily when the inspector rates
under the Classification Act were
sufficiently above wage board rates
for mechanics to make such pro-
motions feasible.
Now, however, the wage board
rates for mechanics, being geared
to prevailing rates, are too high to
permit the continuance of this
program. Further, the Navy De-
partment has a real problem due
to the desire of inspectors who
were formerly mechanics tn re-

and this Office would have no objec-

the bill which would establish the
48-hour week as the standard in the
Federal service during the war. 1t
should be noted that 48-hour week
would represent a 20 per cent in
crease in working time above a
basic 40-hour work week.

THE Civil Service Commission is
recommending an amendment to

would suspend the compensatory

There is attached hereto a men,
orandum relating to the cost of the
proposed measure.
Enactment of this bill would go
far toward removing the serious pay
inequalities concerning which this
bureau has been very critical in the
past. 1t would further serve to
bring about a much needed upward
adjustment in the salary levels of
employees in the lower income
brackets.
The bill, if amended in the form

Commission, would be in accord

In the letter from the Civil Serv-

Appeal for Inclusion
In Pay Increase Bill
Association Asks Aid
Of Congress to Meet
Rising Living Costs

The National Association of Re-
tired Federal Employees yesterday
appealed to Congress to include re-
tired Government workers in the
pending Mead-Ramspeck Federal
pay increase bill to help meet the
increased cost of living.
The association, meeting at the
National Museum, adopted a resolu-
tion offered by Mrs. Margaret Hop
kins Worrell, requesting Congress to
Include "annuitants" among bene-
ficiaries of the measure.
Mrs. Worren said she had seen
several Senators who were in
favor of passing along benefits also
to the retired people. With most
annuitants receiving $1,000 or less a
year, Mrs. Worrell said some Sem
ators admitted that it would only be
fair to pass along an increase to
help meet the increase in the cost
Of living.
Mrs Worrell, a former Interior
Department attorney. is now presi-
dent Of the League of the American
Civil Service.
John B. Dickman, association
president, urged support for the pro-
posed amendment, saying it was the
only hope" to get action for re-
tired people before Congress ad-

Text of Report.
The budget directors report to
Senator Bulow read as follows:
This is in response to your re-
quest for the views of the Bureau
Of the Budget with respect to S.
1918, "A bill to provide wartime
compensation for employees of the
Federal Government, and for other
purposes
1T is our understanding that this
bill has been introduced in lieu
Of any further extension of the
authority to pay overtime compen-
sation to per annum employees in
the War and Navy Departments,
and also as a substitute for S. 1865,
the uniform overtime pay bill, the
provisions of which had previously
been reported on favorably by the
Bureau of the Budget.
IS. 1918, If enacted, would give
expression to the following policies:
Il. Federal employees covered by
the provisions of this act would
receive additional compensation
amounting to 20 per cent on not
more than $4,000 of their earned
basic compensation. This means
that the maximum additional COM
pensation which would be payable
under this provision would be $58(
per annum. This increase is to be
compared with the additional COM
pensation which thousands Of en-
ployes in the War and Navy
Departments have been paid under
the overtime pay statutes, which
amounts, for a 48-hour week, to
2l6 per cent of their earned basic
compensation. 1t should be noted
also that there is no upper salarv
limit on the present overtime au-
thority.
Exceptions Listed.
20. Overtime compensation would
be paid only to those Federal en-
ployes whose wages are fixed and
