charges that the present legisla-
tion is discriminatory" In limit
ing benefits only 70 postal workers,
In this. he viii be backed by
the Civil Service Commission,
which has filed q report with the
committee objectins to the fact
that other veterans In Federal
employment aren't included in the
legislation.
The measure would credit q
veterans years Of military service
toward giving him the within
grade promotions that other Fed
eral employees get for time on the
Job. This would mean. IN many
instances. that veterans would get
at least several hundred dollars in
increased salaries Immediately
instead OF having TO wait perhaps
as much as five or six years
Veterans who were In the Gov
ernment before the war and then
returned to their Jobs are not
included In the amendment. be-
cause they already have been
credited for their years OF military
service In securing within-grade
promotions.
PUZZLED-Mr. Rees and others
supporting the amendment are
puzzled and irritated over the fail
Iure sof the regular Government
employees unions TO ask that the
proposed rights for postal veter-
ans be extended to other veterans
in the Government. Despite the
fact that the committee has just
wound UP two weeks OF hearings
on the bill affecting postal work
ers, none of the regular employees
unions asked the group TO provide
that the rest of the Government s
veterans who are eligible be in
cluded.
Several OF the unions testified
before the committee In favor OF
the postal measure but failed TO
say anything about including the
very employees they represent.
The unions attitude on this
matter remains a mystery. Some
union officials said that they
wanted to wait until after the
postal measure was enacted before
asking for similar BENEFITS for
other Federal employees, But MFR.
Rees and others feel that. once the
postal measure was passed. Con-
gress would turn It's back on other
Federal employees. Mr.. Rees says
the only chance Of securing these
benefits for all Federal workers Is
to tie 1t In with the postal measure.
Now that Mr.. Rees viii offer his
amendment, the unions are ex-
pected to give 1t their support. al
though one Of the groups may
oppose 1t on the principle that II
| is against crediting military sers-
| ice for promotions-whether for
postal or any other Federal en-
| ployes.
| Sponsors point out that On the
long run the bill would not cost
too much. since 1t only speeds up
the promotions that the veterans
would receive anyway over a pc
riod OF years II they remain In
the Government.
