White House Painters to Keep
1rumuns Out Until Nav

Painters have started work on
the interior of the White House to
freshen up the mansion for it's new
tenants, who are due to move in
around the first of May. The
SCARED exterior, which probably
has not had a thorough going over
for half century, will have to wait
until the manpower situation eases.
Howell G. Grim, head usher, had
the regular three-man painting
staff of the White House reinforced
by workmen from the Public Build
ings Administration for hurry-up
job, and they first tackled Presi-
dent Humans Office which will be
ready tomorrow. The. color scheme
will be as at present. The walls
generally are light green and the
ceilings an "off white" Some of
the rooms are cream colored.
Furniture, draperies, china and
silver will be unchanged, unless the
Truman family has some personal
articles of furniture to be placed
in their private quarters. The
Roosevelts had a great many pic
lures and some pieces of furniture
which have been shipped.
Furnishings in the living rooms
are arranged to meet desires of the
presidential family. There Is little

II any change through the ages"
In the state rooms where visitors are
received, Mr.. Grim said.
White House china has a long
life. None has been purchased since
about the second year of President
Roosevelt's administration, accord
ing to Mr.. Grim. The prior acquisi-
tions was in the Wilson administra-
ton.
Mr.. Grim said that in some spots
on the White House exterior there
are perhaps 40 or so coats of paint
AL this must be removed before q
repainting job is undertaken, which
means scraping, as d-blasting is
not feasible, he explained.
Because of the scarcity of labor
he is recommending the task be
deferred.
While the freshening-up process
is expected to be completed around
May, Mr.. Grim said it might be q
week or 10 days later. Until the
place is ready, President Truman
and his family will remain at the
Blair House.
No additional funds will be re.
quired, Mr.. Grim said, adding that
the $4,000 customarily appropriated
for such work on election years had
not even been asked for this time.

Senate Group 10 Open
Hearing Wednesday
On Federal Pay Bill

Members of the Senate Civil
Service Committee will open hear
ings Wednesday at 1920 am. on
proposals to grant Is per cent in
crease in basic pay and true" time
and-a-half for overtime to Federal
workers, Chairman Downey an
nounced yesterday.
At the same time, Representative

ginia, said his subcommittee of the
House Civil Service Committee
would begin hearings about May l
on proposed legislation to include
members of Congress in the Gov
eminent retirement system.
Serving with Mr.. Randolph on

weeks ago by Chairman Ramspeck
of the House Civil Service Commit
tee, are Representative Manasco,
Democrat, of Alabama: Rayfel,
Democrat, of New York; LaFollette,
Republican, of Indiana, and Case,
Republican,, of New Jersey. :.
Subject of their hearings will be
a bill sponsored by Representative
Norton, Democrat, of New Jersey.
chairman of the House Labor
Committee.
The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee, at its hearings starting Wednes-
day, will consider the bill of Senator
DoWney, Democrat, of California,
which goes beyond recent recon-
mendations made by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission in that it proposes
a basic pay boost for Government
white-collar workers. In this con-
nection, it was recalled that the late
President Roosevelt had suggested
study of the pay of such white collar
workers for use in later actions.
The Downey bill, aside from the
proposed Is per cent basic pay
boost, calls for a 10 per cent pay
differential for night time work in
Government agencies and acceler-
ated within-grade setups, as rec
commended by the Civil Service Com
mission.
Representative Jackson, Democrat,
OF Washington has been named
chairman of the House Civil Service
subcommittee to consider basic pay
increases for Federal workers. Hear
ings are expected to start after an
investigating unit of the full COM
mittee has completed current studies
OF the Federal wage scales.
