'$113U. 5. Pay Raise,
Classification Revision
Voted by House Group
Committee Accepts Bill
With Minor Changes
And Sends Ii to Floor
By Harold B. Rogers

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today approved bill to
revise the old classification act Of
1923 and give an average pay raise
of $13.57 annually to $4,000 Fed
eral and District classified en-
ployes.
Acting on a subcommittee bill
sent to it last Monday, the full
committee made only a few tech
meal changes and one minor
amendment. The latter would ex-
clude from the new classification
bill State Department employees
with any international organiza-
ton who already were excluded
from the present classification act
The technical amendments were
said to be unimportant, but needed
for Qualification purposes. The bill
now goes to the House calendar
but before it can be called up fol
action it probably will go before
the House Rules Committee for a
green light.
Senate Group Studies Bill.
Meanwhile, a Senate Civil Serv-
ice subcommittee met today on the
new legislative pay bill which
would give to workers in the House
and Senate a pay increase of at
least 5 per cent.
The full Senate Civil Service
Committee met Immediately after
it's subcommittee session to con-
slider the controversial postal rate
bill. But there was some thought
that the full committee might take
up the legislative measure since
it was understood to have been
approved, in general. before it was
introduced recently by Senate Ma
jority Leader Lucas.

sent to the House today provides
a new plan for classifying posi-
tions and fixing rates of pay.

One of the letters from Mr..

The folders, which cropper up

dent Truman was asked at a press
conference if he had ever received
any matches from Mt. Hunt. Mr..
Truman said he had not received

know Mr.. Hunt.
Invitation for Bribery"
Mr.. Oehler took the stand after
Mr.. Flanagan had spent almost
an hour reading letters from Mr..
Oehler to Mr.. Hunt, beginning in
April. 1947. while Mr.. Oehler was
a WAA warehouse official in the
Midwest. After leaving the WAA
he took job with the American
Industrial Development Corp. in
ST. Louis. Mr.. Hunt also is a
former employe of the WAA.
After hearing one of the letters,
in which Mr.. Oehler gave Mr..
Hunt what the WAA employe de-
scribed as confidential informa-
tion," Senator Mundt, Republican,
of South Dakota, commented that,
on the face of 1t, the letter ap-
peared to be "a blatant invitation
for bribery or connivance."

plan to discontinue the national
program to sell surplus automotive

Minimum Wage Bill
Is Passed by House;
Sets 75-Cent Base
Measure Differs Sharply
From Original; Final
Vote Is 361 to IS
BULLETIN

The. House passed the rs
cent-A hour national minimum
wage bill today on roll-call
vote of 36l to IS. An effort to
send the measure back to COM
mittee failed, Al to 242.
The House was ready today to
take final action on minimum
wage legislation.
Awaiting the decisive roll call
was a measure differing sharply
from the administration bill
brought to the floor Monday. 1t
would raise the national minimum
wage from the present 40 cents an
hour to rs cents. But a substantial
number of workers now covered
by the Fair Labor Standards Act
would be withdrawn from cover
age.
Technically, the measure is the
one offered by Representative
Lucas, Democrat, of Texas as a
substitute for the administration
bill, which bore the name of
Chairman Lesinski of the House
Labor Committee.
But before the House agreed to
the substitution on a roll cal
vote of 225 to 1871, it eliminated q
major feature of Mr.. Lucas plar
by inserting the 75-cent figure
The Texan had proposed an in.
crease from 40 cents to IS cents
with future adjustments to be re.
lated to cost-of living indices.

Representative Redden. Demo.

that the fiat 75-cent figure, also-s
feature of the Lesinski bill. be
substituted for the sliding scale
provision. The House did so by
tellar vote of 1876 to 116.
Final action on the legislation
was delayed when Representative

of New York. demanded that the
bill be read from an engrossed
copy-a parliamentary move to
obtain an overnight postpone
