By Joseph Young

Chairman Murray of the House
Civil Service Committee today dis
closed he is opposed to several
major provisions of the $400 pay
raise bill voted by his committee
and will try to scale the bene-
fits downward when the measure
comes up for House action.
MIR. Murray told The Star he
favors $500 pay increase for
all Federal workers and that he
wants the increase to be on a
temporary two-year basis, instead
OF permanent, as voted by his
committee.
The Tennessee Democrat was in
the hospital undergoing an opera
tion when his committee approved
the $400 permanent pay measure.
Before going to the hospital, he
had authorized the committee to
take action on the Federal pay
raise legislation, and Representa-
tive Morrison, Democrat, of
Louisiana, served as acting chair
man.
However, Mr.. Murray today said
he is not committed to the COM
mittee's bill. since it is much diff
ferent from what he had been led
to believe it would be.
Mr.. Murray also took occasion
to deny reports he is stalling on
the legislation approved by the
committee. He said the commit
tees staff is now writing the Of
fetal reports on the classified and
postal pay bills and, as soon as
they are completed, he will gc
before the Rules Committee and
ask that the measures be cleared
for House action.
Once the bills reach the House
floor, Mr.. Murray said. he will
ask that they be modified.
Mr.. Murray was extremely crit
ical OF the committees action in
voting to make the raises perma-
nent. A fiat increase should be
on a temporary basis only, since
otherwise it would disrupt the
balance of the Federal salary
structure, he declared.
Would Prefer Senate Bill.
IF the raises are to be per-
manent, then l would prefer the
Senate Civil Service Committee s
bill, because it's on a percentage
basis and would not disrupt the
salary SCALE" the Tennessean de-
clared. The Senate groups bill
provides an 8.4 per cent Federal
pay boost.

floor with some of his committee
