Church Officials ..-
Entreat Town Council
Concerning Sunday Baseball

The Session of the First Presby-
terian Church in a formal resolu-
ton signed by the Clerk of Session
and the Pastor. and addressed to the
Town Council explained their stand
against Sunday Baseball.
The petition indicated that the
First Presbyterian Church in par
ticular would be restricted in her
worship and activities on the Lords
Day if public baeball games should
be played on the lot adjoining her
premises. In referring to her cen
tury-old heritage of being free to
plan any kind of church activity on
Sunday at any hour of the day, the
resolution indicated that the Of
ficers felt deeply their responsible
ity in seeking to maintain this her
itage, and that any abridgement of
restriction of the church's ancient
privilege Of planning any service
any time on Sunday without disturb
ance and without the necessity of
consultation or adjustment with
outside secular agencies would a
mount to trespass against sacred
institution.
The Presbyterian leaders also ex-
pressed the conviction that the well

10 IdVe Vic pOS-
tai classification system overhauled
stems from Congress failure last
session to revise it as was done
with the classified employees pay
structure. Instead, Congress voted
postal workers the fiat $120 pay
raise and administration officials
say this further distorted the in
equities in the postal salary struc-
ture that have existed for many
years.
The White Houses request for
overhauling the postal classical
ton system has been transmitted
to key Senate Civil Service Com
mittee members, who say that
they are responsive to the idea.
They say that hearings on such
Legislation will be held early next
year.
This will give postal employe
groups an opportunity to seek ad-
ditional pay increases within the
framework of q reclassification
measure-as was done in the case
Of classified employees. But the
White House frowns on any addi-
tional postal pay increases except
token raises as a result Of revising
the classification system. Most
members Of the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee apparently will go
along with the White House.
There has been no indication as to
the House Civil Service Commit
tees reaction to the proposal, but
1t probably will be favorable.
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYES-Al-
though Civil Service Commission
figures show that the four pay
raises granted Government classi-
fed and postal employees during
the last i've years were not enough
to offset the cost of living rise
since 1910, most of the regular
employe groups will not seek an
other round Of Federal pay raises
next year.
The feeling is that there is no
chance Of Congress favoring such
action and It would only antago-
nize Congress and injure the
chances Of other beneficial Federal
employe legislation pending on
Capitol Hill.
It's no secret that many law
makers grudgingly voted for the
recent $l31-a-year average pay
increase.
Regarding the cost Of living
figures, civil service statistics show
