Anderson Urges
PAY Raises for
All in u. ). Jobs
Many Top Men Lost
Because Of Low SoIory,
He Tells Senate Unit

Secretary of Agriculture An
derson today urged pay raises
for all Federal employees, includ-
ing those in highest wage brack-
cts, to bridge "the cost-of-living
gap which has built up during
the last 10 years"
He also proposed that heads Of
agencies be allowed to request ex-
emptions in the fixed wage scale
for certain essential jobs.
Mr.. Anderson was the first of q
number of witnesses appearing be-
fore Senate Civil Service SUBJ
committee considering pay raise leg
iSlation.
Has Lost Essential Personnel.
The secretary said he has lost to
private industry number of men
"on whom I had to depend very
strongly. We lose these people not
because they want big salaries, but
because they see such a definite
limit to the security of Federal
service"
Mr.. Anderson said he felt sure he
could have kept most of the men
If I could have offered them enough
money merely to do the thinks they
had been accustomed to before the
war
1t is in such positions as director
of the departments Credit Com
modify Corp. that special exemp-
tions in pay should be allowed, Mr..
Anderson said. The corporation. he
declared. does as much business as
the 10 largest soap and food COM
panies in the country combined.
Competing With Industry.
But we face strong competition
with these companies" the Secre-
tary said. When the Government
has a job in which an official can
make mistake that would cost the
Government 100000, 900. then we'd
better have a man who has some
administrative ability
Chairman LANCER, co-sponsor with
Senator Chavez. Democrat, of New
Mexico, of measure that would
grant $1,000 increases to Govern
ment workers up to the $4,000
maximum, asked Mr.. Anderson
whether he thought workers in
lower brackets should get heaviest
increases.
II suppose from standpoint Of
society, they should" the secretary
answered. But from a standpoint
Of doing our job, think you must
give close attention to all wage
brackets. The relative security avail
able to all these people ten years
ago should be available again.
Over 500 Make Less Than $500.
Mr.. Anderson said 26064 OF the
departments $1,000 workers make
less than $500 year and that
more than half of the total are In
| grades that start under $1,000.
Senator LANCER asked Mr.. Ander-,
son for his opinion of the Flanders
Baldwin bill which would raise an
nual salaries for department secre-
! taries to $4,000; to $17,500 for un-
der secretaries, and to $4,000 for
assistant secretaries.
do you think that's enough?"
asked Senator LANCER. Mr.. Ander-
son said he did, but that Il still
think there should be provision for
us to come before committees to ask
for a few exempted positions.
Mr.. Anderson was followed by
Representative Smathers, Democrat.
of Florida who in a brief statement
urged pay raises of $1,000 for postal
field workers. The committee has

legislation but has not come up with

/ Christmas Sales Up,
May SET New Mark
After 6-Week Slump
BY the Associated Press


Late Christmas shoppers may ring
up q new sales record after all.
If their last-minute buying over
comes six-week slump, it will mark
the 11th straight banner year for
merchants.
Latest Federal Reserve Board re-
ports on department store sales to-
day indicated an upturn as the gift
hunters headed into the stretch
drive.
Although the sales decline from
last years record high marked its
sixth consecutive week in the period
endind December II, the signs
pointed to rising prospects:
l. The drop in the national av-
erage was only per cent below
the same wek last year, compared
with S to 8 per cent declines in the
five previous weeks.
2. Gains over last year showed up
in nearly half the country-Penn-
sylvania and Ohio, the South and
Southwest. In all other weeks since
the slump started, the drop had
been Nationwide.
8. The December II gain over the
previous week was far greater than
in 1947. On the boards indicator
chart, the 1948 jump was 70 points
against 81 points in 1947.
The largest sales center of them
all, New York, had the biggest drop
behind last year (6 per cent? in
the latest Reserve Board report
But subsequent sales squirt has
been reported by New York mer-
chants who say dollar intake now is
beating last years.
The West Coast, New England and
the Midwest-from Chicago to st.
Louis to Kansas City-also showed
a continued decline but their sales,
too, were catching up with last
years.
Although the Reserve Board re-
ported a parallel nonth-long slumr

ton equipment in the first three
months Of l949. This is in addition
to the record $5OO0 00o, 900 outlay
in the final quarter of 1948.
Although the Government agen-
cies said the $4,40o, ,o0o, 900 won't
buy as much plant and equipment
as did a smaller sum in this years
opening quarter, it would be the
highest such outlay In history for
any similar period.

The plantain lily, an old friend OF
the gardener, is in terrible state
of confusion. No one seems to
know for sure about the species
at least the authorities disagree.
1t is variously known botanically
as Funkia and Hosta (the latter is
the preferred name) and in plain
English as the plantain lily or, oc-
casionally because of its outstand-
ing species, H. plantainea, as the
August lily. Dl. Edgar T. Wherry
professor of botany of University
of Pennsylvania, attempted to clar-
ify the species and described TO-
but he admits that there are many
plants which undoubtedly are inter
mediates. These hybrids make sys-
tematic Identification and classif1-
cation most difncult.
1t is little wonder that you may
buy the same species from different
plantmen and obtain quite variety
of plants. But. still more to the
point, why should all of this confu-
sion exist for most dependable
worthwhile perennial that has
been cultivated in this country since
Colonial days? One writer sug-
gested it is a most frequently ne
elected plant because 1t has few
requirements and seemingly thrives
on neglect, and that if it required
a little nursing 1t would be noticed
more often.
Glossy Foliage Attractive.
The Hostas are strong-growlng
perennials that thrive in either sun
or shade. have no special soil pref
erence, are without insect enemies
