LiberaIized Pay Bill
Chances Improved by
Three Test Votes
By DON S. WARREN.

The Hberalized Federal pay bill
recommended by the House Civil
Service Committee was being debat-
ed in the House today, with its
chances Of passage improved by VIC
tories in three test votes late yes
terday.
Chairman Ramspeck and Repre-
sentative jackson, Democrat. OF
Washington, head of the subcom-
mittee which wrote the bill, were
optimistic over the outcome after
the House had scuttled an opposi-
ton proposal to knock true time
and-a-half pay for overtime work
out of the bill
This was regarded as the big test,
for some members of the House who
opposed granting a 80 per cent
overtime rate, instead of the pres
ent 21.6 per cent passed by the
Senate, were known to approve the
proposed basic pay boost embodied
in the bill.
Gripping Clause.
The crippling amendment to re-
strict overtime pay for some 1900
600 classified Government workers
was offered by Representative Rees,
Republican, of Kansas, ranking mi
nority member of the Civil Service
Committee. He was supported by
Representative Vursell, Republican,
OF Illinois, among others.
Mr.. Rees contended the Senate
plan for continuing a rate of l liz
for overtime work was reasonably
liberal" and he asked, Aren't these
people pretty well paid now?"
Mr.. Ramspeck replied that the
Government white collar workers
were the only ones who so far had
been denied true" overtime, and
that some years ago this had been
granted to more than 10000 Fed
eral workers under wage board
scales. and more recently was ap-
proved by the House for $4,000
postal workers.
Pleading with the House to be
consistent, Mr.. Ramspeck said, I'VE
should not make fish out of one and
fowl out of the other. There should
be equal justice for ALL
Votes Still Tentative.
The amendment was declared de-
feated first on a voice vote. The
minority then demanded a standing
vote and this showed the amend
ment defeated by 90 to 40. On the
third test, a teller count, the amend
ment was swamped by nearly two
to one-125 to SO.
These votes still are tentative,
however, for the House at the time
was sitting as committee and an
other vote could be taken before
passage of the bill, expected today
unless other legislation again defers
final action, as happened yesterday.
Additional limiting amendments
may be offered today by minority
members of the committee. Several
have been prepared.
