they have become increasingly
So."
Mr.. Worthy said the 400 So
called super grades in Govern
ment. which pay from $4,000
to $14,S00 a year, are only a
small start toward solving the
problem. Mr.. Worthy. the former
personnel officer of Sears Roe
buck, said the percentage OF
higher salaried officials to rank
and-file employees is very much
greater than that found IN
Government.
"Not only are the numbers OF
people at the higher pay levels
unduly limited, but the range OF
earnings between the lower
grades and the higher is far
too narrow" Mr.. Worthy said.
"As a businessman I find 1t
hard, indeed, to accept a situa-
ton where the earnings OF those
in the most responsible and most
difficult positions, and those for
tunate enough to be one OF the
25 GIBBS, are only about six
times those Of the lowest-rated
clerk or messenger"
Mr.. Worthy also said there is
a drastic need to raise the pay
of members of Congress and
officials in the judiciary branch.
1T is my earnest hope that
this entire, problem Of compen-
sating top people in Government
whether legislative, executive
or judicial-will be squarely
faced and courageuosly solved. f"
he said.
The Commerce official also
called for a positive executive
development program in Gov
ernment. Mr.. Worthy said that
under the present system it is
primarily q matter Of accident
or political pull for an employe
to advance in his Government
career. The Commerce official
said there is too great a re-
lance on the Civil Service
Commission for operating execu-
tive development programs and
too narrow q concentration on
formal methods Of training.
Mr.. Worthy disclosed that the
Commerce Department soon will
begin its own executive develop
ment program among its en-
ployes and said that Commerce
hopes its program can be used
as a guide by other departments
and agencies.
The Commerce officials also de-
clared that the administration is
not antagonistic to Civil Service
employees. A certain amount OF

the Government.
Senator Knowland questioned
the general at length with refer
ence to the roles of Naval and
Marine Corps aviation.
Gen. Vandenherg said both
those arms were trained and
equipped to assist the Air Force
in carrying out it's primary mis-
sion of strategic bombing.
But if you count on those
services solely and not build up
the United States Air Force,
you must discard the Navy's
primary function Of controlling
the seas" he said. "You can't
count on both forces doing both
jobs" he added.
"The Navy has q very i'm
portant job to do" declared Gen.
Vandenberg.
Senator Knowland asked the
general why he did not take his
protest against the Air Force
cutback to President Eisenhower
Gen. Vandenberg admitted
that he did have access to the
President and he said that in
1851 he had protested to former
President Truman the decision to
allow the Air Force to build to
143 instead of 155 which the air
staff thought necessary for ma
tional defense.
Protest to Joint Chiefs.
However, he continued, he de-
cided to protest to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
GAS chief of staff of the Air
Force I don't feel that my pro-
test was as good as the Joint
Chiefs" he said. II can think
of nothing stronger than a pro-
test from the Joint Chiefs"
The Joint Chiefs protest to
Defense Secretary Wilson said
that any cut from 143 wings
would increase the risk of ma
tional security beyond the die
tates of national defense"
Chairman Ferguson said Sec
retary Wilson would be heard
Monday. adding that Gen. VAN
denberg would be questioned
further this afternoon and to-
morrow.
At the conclusion of the morn
ing session. Senator Hill. Demo-
crat, of Alabama told Gen. VAN
denberg:
"I am convinced Of the need
of 143 wings-I don't need any
argument about that"
Senator Ferguson answered:
II don't want the program
delayed by lack Of SUFFICIENT
money that can be spent judi
ciouSly."
Blast Unqualified.
Gen. Vandenberg's blast yes
terday was so unqualified in its
criticism that Senator Fergu-
son reminded him "these are seri-
Gus charges you are making
against the Secretary of De-
fense and the President Of the
United States"
The general stared intently at
the chairman, retracted nothing
and proceeded with his state
ment on the Air Force situation
as he saw it.
Senator Maybank, Democrat.
of South Carolina, came to Gen.
Vandenberg's support in an in
terview after the meeting. He
promised Democrats will make
"a hell Of a fight" to restore
the IS billion cut from Air Force
funds.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff, he

Mr.. Wilson that any decrease
would increase the risk to
national security beyond the
dictates Of national prudence"

called to the attention of Gen.
Eisenhower.

Air Force is only two-thirds on

warned.
Recalls Many Programs.
There have been continual
build-ups and cut-downs, and
a target, once established, should
be kept" he said. During the
five years I have been Chief of
Staff there have been 10 or IL
programs. - Z
"Once again the growth of
American air power Is threatened
with start-and-go planning and
at a time when we. face an enemy
who has more modern jet fighters
than we have and enough long
range bombers to attack this
country in a sudden, all-out
atomic effort" he Z continued.
Rather than reduce our efforts
to attain air superiority we should
now increase those efforts.
There are many indications
that Soviet military strength.
and particularly Soviet air
strength, has increased tremen-
dously in recent years. The
priority given by the Kremlin
to the build-up of Communist
air forces has achieved results. +"

adjustment and patience on both |
sides are always necessary when |
new bosses take over-either in |
industry or Government ~ Mr.. |
Worthy said. He added that |
career workers will be treated
fairly by the new administration. |
Il *%A
dee PROGRAM-One glaring |
omission in the Civil Service |
Commissions new program to
find jobs for displaced career
employees is that it apparently
will do nothing for career en-
ployes who have taken sharp
cuts in salaries during the past
year as a result of reduction-in-
force programs.
As their agencies were forced
to reduce personnel and reas-
sign employees to lower r-salaried
jobs because of budget cuts.
many Of these career workers
took reductions of $1,000 TO $2,-
600 a year or more in salaries.
Many employees were given jobs
as much as FIVE to six grades
lower than the ones they previ-
ously had.
Certainly, something should be
done for these employees to give
them a chance to get jobs pay
ing the same salaries that they
were drawing previously.
NOT INVOLVED-Governmen
employees with permanent status.
who have been promoted to jobs
with temporary indefinite status
since 1850. will not be removed
from these positions to make
way for jobleSs career workers.
Civil Service Commission Of
ficials say its new program to
find jobs for displaced careerists
will use the jobs filled by tempo
rary-indefinite workers who do
not have any kind Of status. 1t
will not dislodge those career
workers now serving in tempo
rary-indefinite jobs.
HOT WEATHER NOTE-The
Labor Department has followed
the Commerce Departments ex-
ample in allowing it's man en-
ployes to shed their coats during
the summer and wear short
sleeved sports shirts without
ties. Undersecretary Of Labor
Lloyd A. Mashburn issued the
directive yesterday.
SUPPORT-The non-partisan
National Civil Service League
has thrown its support behind
the administration in the move
to gain stronger hiring -and-f1r-
ing powers over the thousands
of excepted jobs not covered by
civil service. The league said
the administration has every
right to appoint their choices to
the important jobs in the nom
civil service category.
