An average 8.4 per cent pay
raise for the Governments classi-

by a Senate Civil Service SUBJ
Icommittee.
A similar 8.4 per cent for postal
workers also Was approved by an
other Senate Civil Service sub
tcommittee.

Meanwhile. Chairman Murray Of

ANNOUNCED that his group would
set the date for hearings within
Ia few days on pay raise legislation
for the Governments classified
and postal employees.
Mr.. Murray's statement came
shortly after his committee re-
Iversed itself and eliminated from
1.-THE postal rate increase bill an
amendment that would give postal
workers a $3.50 a year pay raise.
Committee members said the
group felt that it's earlier action
was a mistake, since the question
of pay raises should not be tied
up with the postal rate bill.

classified employe would fare un-
der the 8.4 per cent bill was
published in The Star last Sat-
urday.
| Million Employees Affected.
More than a million classified
employees in Government are af-
fected by the legislation, includ-
ing about 100000 Federal and
District government workers in
the Washington area.
The postal pay measure involves
about 100000 postal field workers,
about 5000 in the Washington
area.
While all three members of the
PaStore subcommittee voted in
favor of the 8.4 per cent pay in
crease measure, Senator Butler,
Republican, Of Maryland reserved
the right to argue before the full
committee for the SO per cent
pay raise plan advocated by the
administration.

committee is Senator Monroney
Democrat, of Oklahoma.

lucky, also was unanimous. How
ever. Senator Carlson, Republican

press for a fiat pay raise amount
before the full committee. The
Kansan did not disclose what
amount he had in mind.
Senator Pastore was the third
member of the Underwood SUBJ
committee.

ned pay raise bill is $500 million.

By jones Y. Newton

The Wage Sterilization Board
today turned it's attention toward
writing new wage control policy
after paving the way for a million
auto industry workers to receive

The board ruled the automobile
industry could pay workers the

provided the manufacturers would
not use the pay raise as a basis
for seeking price increases. The
General Motors Corp. granted the
increase Immediately.

nothing directly about holding the
price line, but in view of the
boards ruling it was taken fol
granted that Ford would not raise
prices.
In hearings held here two weeks
ago both Ford and Packard urged
the Wage Board to approve the
four-cent raise, but each said il
would need a price increase te
offset it. There was no further
word today from Packard or any
of the other manufacturers.
There was bad news, too, fol

the shutdown was to avoid mass

Mr.. Wilson said workers at

be affected. The precise number
to be laid off had not been de-

on other car makers to follow
