Warrant for Builder
Was Issued in Error

A bench. warrant issued Thursday
for the arrest of Louis Burman,
builder charged with constructing
a store without a permit, was all a
mistake, it was learned yesterday.
According to the schedule in the
corporation counsel's Office, Mr.. Bur-
man was due to appear in Municipal
Court to face the charge last Thurs
day. When he did not show up,
Prosecutor Clark King asked Judge
Almond w. Scott to issue a bench
warrant, as reported in The Star
Friday.
Later Mr.. King received a call
from Lewis Jacobs, counsel for the
defendant The lawyer produced
police records showing his client
had not only posted $50 collateral
at No. Precinct last Wednesday
but had been instructed to appear
for trial on October 8, next Thurs
day
The prosecutor was convinced.
The trial will reach court on that
day, as originally scheduled.

"Oh, we wanted to hear the latest

WHICH COMES FIRST-There is
a behind -the-scenes battle going on
among the top officials of the AFL
Government Employees Council,
which claims to represent nearly
100000 Federal workers.
Leaders of the postal groups favor
as the No. l legislative goal next
year passage of the Langer-Chavez
retirement bill. Until this measure
is passed, they feel, the campaign
for a Government employees pay
raise should not get underway.
This feeling stems from the fear
that the pay drive will hurt chances
of the retirement bill. Once the
retirement measure is passed, then
the drive for a wage increase can
start, they argue.
But the nonpostal groups in the
council are going ahead with plans
to start an immediate drive for Fed
eral employees cost-of- living raises
as soon as Congress reconvenes
These groups feel the retirement
bill, which has passed the House, is
certain to be passed by the Senate,
and that too much of a campaign
isn't needed to secure its enactment.
On the other hand, these labor
leaders feel the Government en-
ployes need relief from rising prices
as soon as possible. That's why
they refused to be budged from their
plans to demand a cost-of Living pay
raise for Government workers when
Congress returns
They appear to have won their
point and the council can be ex-
pected to throw its weight immedi-
ately into the pay-raise drive along
with efforts to win final enactment
for the Langer-Chavez retirement
measure.
