aries of professional and executive
personnel within . salary ceiling set
by Congress. In this regard, the
proposal calls for top-bracket salary
increases for the Governments
executives and professional men.
"More Realistic" System.
At present, the Governments
skilled and semiskilled employees
already are on q wage-board basis.
The personnel committees recon-
mendation Is something along that
line for the rest Of the Government
employees. -,
Those advocating the idea say it
would be more realistic" than the
present system. They say that In
many instances the Government Is
paying far greater salaries than
private industry pays for compar-
able jobs in the same locale. This
is said to be particularly true in
areas where living costs are not as
high as in other parts Of the coun-
try.
Under the plan, the Federal
Classification Act would not be
scrapped entirely, but still would
be used to set up job descriptions
and grades.
Some Government officials who
have learned of the plan say they
are against it. They say the Gov
ernment's lower-bracket white col
lar employees would be hard-hit by
the proposal.
Washington Is Cited.
This would be particularly true IN
Washington. they say, where the
rela lively high rates of Federal SAL
aries in clerical white-collar jobs
usually has paced private industry
wages in similar jobs.
Another thing that they say
would hinder white-collar Govern
ment employees in wage adjustments
is the fact white-collar employees in
private industry are relatively un-
organized and have not Jared as
well generally in wage increases as
have the organized skilled trades
workers.
The salary recommendations now
are before the full 12-member
Hoover Commission on Reorganiza-
ton of the Government. The Per-
sonnel Advisory Committee which
submitted the report Is composed Of
some of the top men in the fields Of
public service, education and pri-

INJURY BENEFITS - Increased
benefits to Government employees
who are injured on the job will be
one OF the major legislative goals
of Federal workers groups during
the next session OF Congress.
They point out that present in
jury compensation rates have not
been changed since 1926 and con-
sequently are far too inadequate
to cope with current living costs.
The proposed bill would increase
the present $116 maximum monthly
rate to $225 q month, with upward
adjustments all along the line. And
it would also increase payments to

Woods 10 Ask Return

Hotel Housing Units /:

Proposed return Of Federal rent
ceilings for housing units in apart
ment hotels would be in line with
the District law which already pro-
vides such limits, rent control on
cials said today. :,
Housing Expediter Tghe e. Woods
announced yesterday he would ask
the new Congress for tighter rent
controls. These, he said, should in
clude return of rent ceilings which
were removed from permanent holls-
ing units in hotels when the current
extension bill went into effect last
April.
While revival of that provision
would affect about 100000 sueh
units throughout the country, It
would not involve any in the Dis
trict. District Rent Control Ad-
ministrator Robert F. Cogswell ex-
planned the District law not only is
separate from the Federal statute
but also provides for control Of rents
charged permanent occupants bf
hotel apartment units.
Mr.. Woods said he will suggest q
nine-point program to strengthen
and extend the rent-control pre-
gram. Among these is a proposal
to continue the provision allowing
voluntary" rent boosts up to is
percent in return for leases running
through 1850. This provision was
criticized by President Truman two
years ago.
Other main points, several of which
have previously been indicated by
Mr.. Woods, include: A years extern
sion of the law beyond next March
81, restored controls over evictions,
criminal penalties for violations,
triple damages where landlords are
prosecuted by rent control Officers
for overcharges, and the right to re-
store controls or impose them fbr
the first time in communities that
may become boom towns.
