measure at that
Part of the letter read: Man! I
ask you, as one human being to an
other, what do you think l can do
with that generous increase OF
yours? All this past year we have
been digging into our savings, next
our war bonds, then the poorhouse,
or else we'll come knocking at your
door for another handout.
Just for your information which
you apparently need, the majority
Of the postal employees are veterans
of either World War I or World War
II. So that. after bearing the actual
hardship of wars, we are still con-
tinuing to pay its wretched price
simply because men like you, with
bitterness of spirit, propose such RI
diculous measures"
Mr.. Youngblood told the writer
that, because of the bitter tone OF
the letter, he felt that its contents
might be libelous. He said he wrote
to the prosecuting attorney OF Wayne
County, Mich, asking him to check
the matter.
The legislator said he wanted to
find out how Mr.. Winski received
information that he favored a $468
bill, when I hadn't even made up
nv mind at the time" "a week be-
fore, the House Civil Service pay
raise subcommittee. OF which Mr..
Youngblood was not member, had
recommended the $468 amount to
the full committeeD
Mr.. Youngblood acknowledges
that subsequently he did favor the
$46S amount, although he went
along with the committee when it
reported out a $5s5 postal pay
measure.
The prosecutors office, after re-
ceiving Mr.. Youngblood's letter, sent
two Wayne County detectives to
Mr.. WinsN's home where they
questioned his wife regarding his
BACKGROUND. and where he received
his pay bill information, the en-
ploye charges. Then the detectives
went to the Detroit Federal Build
ing, where Mr.. Winski is employed. d.
and questioned him about the let
ter, Mr.. Winski declared.
Youngblood Regrets Incident.
Mr.. Youngblood said he regretted
the incident.
Il am sorry about the whole
thing" he said, TT was mistake" "
The legislator said he had not
intended that Mr.. Winski should be
subjected to questioning by the de-
tectives.
They used bad judgment" he
said.
Mr.. Youngblood further said he
recognizes the constitutional right
of Government employees to petition
their members of Congress, and he
says he has always been SYM
pathetic to their problems"
Meanwhile, the CIO United Pub
lie Workers of America, of which
Mr.. -Winski is member, has writ
ten to Harry B. Mitchell, president
of the Civil Service Commission,
asking that the commission take
action.
Alfred Bernstein, UPWA's direc-
tor Of negotiations, wrote:
IF this attempt to terrify this
Government worker from exercising
such rights is permitted to go un-
challenged by the commission. 1t
will be an open invitation to further
intimidation of Federal employees,
who through lawful and time-hon-
ored means seek to better their
working conditions"

ruled that any employe who wants
to enlist or re-enlist in any Of the
armed forces may do 50 without
worrying about his job. And, OF
course, this also will apply to any
Federal worker who might be draft
ed, if the draft legislation is ap-
proved by Congress.
The authority to safeguard these
jobs is contained in provisions OF
the Selective Service and Training
Act, still in effect. A number of
Federal employees, especially those
who were officers during the war,
have expressed a desire to re-enlist
to aid the defense effort.
PAY-The pay raise legislation
is marking time, pending final de-
cision of House and Senate leaders
regarding its fate.
Latest word is that pay bill spon-
sors are willing to accept tempo
rary S400 wage measure for all
Federal employees including the
postal workers
Behind -the-scene conferences
with the leadership in Congress has
convinced pay bill sponsors that
Congress will not support a costly
pay bill. That's why they are will
ing to settle for a temporary S400
measure-rather than run the risk
Of getting nothing at all.
Some Republican leaders feel that
even the s400 amount is too much.
Frequent mention is being made Of
$3.50 or $375.
CAPITAL ROUNDUP-The high
ly interesting subject of whether the
Government could have a more ef-
ficient hiring program without civil
service regulations will be debated

ciety for Personnel Administration.
Federal personnel officials Arthur
Tackman and Arthur Mclean will
give the agencies views, while the
Civil Service Commission views
will be presented by two of its Of
f1cials, Ross Pollock and Fordyce
Luikart. The meeting will be held
in the Archives auditorium. Eighth

The American Civil Liberties Union
has asked the House Un-American
Activities Committee to afford a
fair hearing" to DR.. Edward U.
Condor, chief of the Bureau of
Standards. The ACLU outlined a
series of procedures which 1t asked
the committee to adopt. The
Civil Service Commission has an
nounced examinations for high
grade chemist positions, paying sal
aries from STOP to $9,975 year. A
written test is not required for these
very important jobs-candidates will
be rated on their experience and
training. The commission also
announces tests for physical ther-
apists. The jobs pay salaries rang
ing from 1854 to $5,905 year. .
