provided for in the adminiStra $
tons Redistribution measure
But he stressed that such an in
crease in costs should be counter
balanced, il possible, by reduc-
ton in other expenseS-such as a
reduction Of employees wherever
possible
A possible hint as to what the
subcommittee may have in mind
was Senator Longs and Senator
Flanders close questioning Of cur
rent provisions regarding the
grading OF supervisors Both Sen
ators declared that. all too often,
the grade and salary of super
viSory employees are determined
by the number OF persons they
have working under them. Con-
sequently. they said. supervisors
try to build up their STATS, rather
than reduce them.
Administration officials declared
that recent appropriation meas
ures forbid fixing the salaries 81
supervisors solely on the basis of
the number OF employees they
supervise. But Senator Long said
that wasn't enough-that perhaps
language should be written by
Congress to forbid any consldera-
ton of the number OF employees
working under them in determin-
ing a supervisor salary. In fact.
Senator Long declared. 1t might
be well to provide for salary In
creases for supervisors when they
reduced their stafs.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. yes-
terdays opening session, the Eari-
Gus employe groups were pretty
well pleased at the way things
went. Senator Long was very
friendly in his approach to the
pay problem and commented sew
eral times that the administra-
tons pay proposals for rank-and-
file employees were "awfully low
Senator Long said his group viii
work within the framework OF
the administration reclassifica-
ton proposals, but it's quite clear
the committee will boost the
amount OF pay increases for rank
and file jobs. The amounts are
not expected to be great. but, as
reported here the other day. about
5000 or so.
Joseph winslow OF the Budget
Bureau and Isnar Baruch OF the
Civil Service Commission stressed
that the Administrations proposals
are not intended as pay raise bill,
but as a measure designed TO mod
ernie the outmoded Classification
Act Of 1923.
In answer to Senator Longs
question they indicated that the
Administration is not necessarily
opposed to increasing salaries
above the rates provided in
the Redistribution proposal. Any
increase that Congress might de-
eide on should be Incorporated
within the framework Of the re-
classification proposals. they told
the committee.

been a steady stream of voters
going to the polls. Many came in
their own cars, but quite a num-
