Changes System on
Wage Board Salaries

The Defense Departments Per-
sonnet Policy Board today an
nounced new joint system Of
administering the salaries Of the
Governments Wage Board en-
ployeS in the military agencies.
Pentagon officials said the new
system to be used by the Army.
Navy and Air Force departments
represented administrative changes
over the old one, and would have
little effect on employees salaries.
Defense officials said the new
system would save administrative
expenses and eliminate the con-
flicting methods formerly used by
the various defense bureaus.
The new system provides for
joint surveys by the Army. Navy
and Air Force departments in re-
adjusting employees salaries, in
stead of the separate surveys un-
dertaken previously. Also, the sys-
tenn provides four steps to each
wage level, with the top rate desig-
mated as a premium one to be
given to workers with exceptional
ability.
Under the old system the Navy
Department had three steps per
wage rate, while the Army and Air
Force Departments had five.

He declared I'VE want Europe
defended on the Elbe, not on the

to become a scorched earth"
Backed by his party's victories
in stateeaelections In Hesse and
Wuertemberg- Baden, last Sunday,
Mr.. Mommer criticized the project
for a European army presented
by Duncan Sandys, British Com
servative. German Socialists have
opposed raising a new German
army until the West has massed
enough troops to defend Western
Germany from any Soviet attack.
The Sandys project. still off,

ported to stress linking the
projected European army to the

Downey TO Lei Nixon
Take Seat on Nov. 30,
Giving Him Seniority

Senator-elect Richard M. Nixon
Of California will get seniority over
six, and possibly seven. other new
Republicans as a result of the de-
cision of Democratic Senator
Downey to let Mr.. Nixon take his
seat November 80 instead of Janu-
airy 3.
Senator Downey did not try for
another term this year, and would
have stepped out of the Senate at
noon January 3. His generous Of
fer to resign month earlier will
mean a great deal to Mr.. Nixon in
later years, since the Senate at
taches so much Importance to
seniority in picking its leaders.
MIR. Nixon defeated Representa-
tive Helen Gahagan Douglas, the
Democratic senatorial nominee, on
November 7, but under normal
circumstances would have begun
his term simultaneously with six
other new Republicans in jan
Uary.
May Also Outrank Carlson.
The are Senators-elect Dirk
sen Of Illinois. Duff of Pennsyl-
vania, Butler Maryland, Case of
South Dakota, Bennett of Utah
and Welker of Idaho.
Republican Gov. Frank Carlson
OF Kansas is eligible to take his
Senate seat on November 27,
when the lame-duck session of
this Congress starts, because he
is filling out an unexpired term.
He has indicated to friends here
that he may not be able to come
to Washington until early in De-
cember. If he waits that long
Mr.. Nixon may also outrank him
in seniority.
Charles Watkins, veteran par
liamentary expert of the Senate,
said today that when a man is
appointed to the Senate his SEN
iority starts from the day Of his
appointment, and dispatches from
California report that Republican
Gov. Warren will appoint Mr..
Nixon as soon as Senator Downey
resigns.
Action Has Precedents.
Senator Downey's action is not
without precedent. The most re-
cent similar case was in 1916
when former Democratic Senator
Hugh Mitchell, now a member of
the House, resigned from the
Senate on December Is to let
Senator Harry Cain, Republican,
get the seniority benefit of taking
Office before other newcomers in
January, 1947.
Back in 1888 the late Democratic
