Sawyer Recommends
Retroactive Pay Law
For Ungraded Glasses

Commerce Secretary Sawyer to-
day asked the Civil Service Com
mission to take immediate action
to help ungraded Federal work.
ers who apparently are losing four
months retroactive pay author
lied by Congress in its recent sal
ary boost for Government en-
ployes.
In letter to Robert Ramspeck,
chairman of the commission, Mr..
Sayer said he would like to rec
ommend action be taken to in
troduce such legislation as may
be necessary to get the ungraded
workers the retroactive pay.
Employees Not Covered.
The complication arose last
week when Controller General
Lindsay Warren ruled that about
1900 Census Bureau employees who
are not covered by the Classifica-
ton Act were not included by Con-
gress in the salary legislation. The
decision raised the question of the
status of some $4,000 other non
classified workers employed by a
number of other agencies.
The ruling said the 1900 work
ers were not entitled to the -four
months retroactive pay. 1t also
said that the Census Bureau
could pay the increases, without
retroactivity, if it had enough
money on hand but could not &c
into deficit spending.
Since then, the Census Bureau
and most other agencies have de-
cided to grant the pay increases
most are holding off retroactive
pay until a ruling is made in the
case of each bureau, however.
Sawyer Cites "Inequity."
Mr.. Sawyer said the ruling re-
garding the retroactivity pay o1
the Census Bureau workers "has
created a clear and substantial.
inequity with respect to wages
paid these ungraded employees anc
it has caused widespread anc
continuing impairment of morale ;

said. I'm view of the controller

the situation can be adequately
remedied only by legislative &C.

Ticket Price
Violation Laid
To Orchestra
But Putrons Consent
To National Symphony
Retaining Tax Scale

The National Symphony Orches-
ira appeared today to be selling
tickets in technical violation of
ceiling price regulations, but with
the full consent of it's patrons.
The paradox involved ruling
whereby Congress eliminated a 20
per cent amusement tax on SYM
phony concerts and similar enter
prises after November /.
In an informal ruling OPS sale
the ceiling price for such enter
tainment should not exceed the es-
tablished ticket. price, a practice
that would give the patron benefit
of the 20 per cent tax figure.
The Interpretation caught Or
chestra organizations by surprise
everywhere, for it was through
their efforts that Congress erased
the tax in the 1851 Revenue Act.
Asked for Relief.
Leaders in the field of music
which depended largely on voluu-
tary contribution, asked the legiS-
lators for relief to meet rising
operating costs. They understood
that Congress had that in mind
when it lifted the tax and so have
not kicked back anything to the
ticket buyers.
John S. Edwards, manager OF
the National Symphony. explained
that the tax question still was un-
settled when it came time to send
tickets to subscribers in October.
Each subscriber was informed
by letter that, pending a decision,
a subscription committee was plac-
ing all ticket proceeds in a bank.
The subscribers were asked to per-
NIT the tax to be retained by the
orchestra as a part of the admis-
sion price, should Congress knock
out the tax.
Only Two Buyers Objected.
A card was inclosed for the
patron to sign if he concurred
in the plan. Those who did not
return cards were telephoned to
ascertain they understood it. Mr.
Edwards said.
Only two of thousands of ticket
BUYERS have asked remittance of
the tax money.
Based on last years figures, the
money represented by the tax
will give the symphony association
about $4,000, much needed to de-
fray long-standing deficits, Mr.,
Edwards said.
Most people understood this
and seemed glad to give us the
tax money, realizing the tickets
cost them no more anyway" ne
added.
Season tickets for the SYM
phony's Constitution Hall con-
certs range from sS.40 to $50 Tor
10 concerts and from $3.50 to s55
for 20 concerts More than 1000
tickets have been sold.
Adjustment Held Possible.
OPS is on no high horse about
1t all. It was brought to their
attention by a New York reporter
wishing to know the status of the
New York Philharmonic Orches-
ira and the Metropolitan Opera,
both of which were found to be
in the same technical violation.
An adjustment probably will be
made in favor of the orchestra
associations, about Is of which are
observing the same practice
throughout the country.
OPS either may revamp the
ceiling price on it's own, or give
every consideration to the orches-
tras, should they initiate the
movement.

job of shaking out the mothball fleet. The
old marine workhorses, the Liberty ships of
World War II fame are going to sea again.
Forty-one of the ships, the pick of stock

been in mothballs for five years. are being
prepared for recommissioning at a cost of

critics we're daubed with preseryatives. The

them ready for sea as quickly as possible.
The entire operation is really a kind of

work can be done with scrapers and water,
but in many cases wartime protective coat
ings can be removed only by drilling, ham
mering and pounding. A repair order for
one ship was so detailed it even called for
necessary repairs to electric potato peeler."
