would be n chance for q reclassifi-
cation measure II the House group
showed some life. However. Chair
man Murray has steadfasily re-
fused 10 set O date on the measure
despite the fact that his commit
tee is spending most Of its time
dealing with minor bills, There
have been some tentative promises
made, but nothing has material
lied.
Those supporting the legislation
say candidly that. unless the
House group begins hearings by
next week at the latest, there VII
be no pay legislation OF any kind
passed by Congress this year. And
thus far, there Is no indication
that Mr.. Murray's committee viii
begin hearings next week.
Many of the bills supporters
are privately accusing Mr.. Murray
Of using "stalling" tactics. They
say that he has deliberately kept
his freshmen dominated group
occupied with minor bills in order
to discourage action on pay legis-
lation.
The Senate Civil Service Sub
committee on pay legislation has
concluded its hearings and intends
to report a bill soon. but this effort
will 60 for naught unless the House
group acts right away.
Prospects also are dim now for
the top-bracket Federal pay meas
ure which. up until now. has been
effectively bottled up in the House
Rules Committe.
The only pay measure that
probably will be enacted Is the
retroactive $3.50 pay boost for Dis
trict government workers. who did
not get last July's Federal salary
increase.

ment agencies bring on themselves
the sharp criticisms and SUBJ
