The one remaining objection
is the possibility that during bad

flow over the proposed landfill
site would back up into Colmar

The international Office for a

ploye leaders are fearful that
reclassification would result in
many postal workers taking pay
cuts. Consequently, the postal
unions will strongly oppose re-
classification and insist that
Congress approve straight pay
raise next year.
The tremendous implication
for Government. classified en-
ployes is not hard to see. It
has been automatic in past years.
when pay raises were voted by
Congress, that the politically in
fiuential postal workers lead the
way in such matters. Congress
always has first voted postal
workers an increase, and then. as
a matter of fairness, followed it
with a raise for classified
workers.
Consequently. if the best postal
workers could get was salary re-
classification that would not
raise salaries and might even
cut some, the chances for a
classified employees pay boost
would be greatly rampered.
Postal officials say reclassif1ca-
ton is needed to overhaul the
outmoded postal salary structure,
A possible compromise might be
reclassif1cation, plus a general
pay raise. This no doubt would
satisfy postal employe leaders.

work of the civil service retire
ment system. They will oppose
strongly any move in Congress to
tie social security in with civil
service retirement.
The Kaplan committee has
not yet made its final decisions
on what, its proposals will be
However, it sent a "feeler" to
the various union officials and
others. asking for their reaction
to co-ordinating civil service
with social security. One of the
trial ballons sent up by the Kap-
Ian group involved placing new
Federal employees under social
security for the first five years,
then switching them over to
civil service retirement.
One plan being studied by the
Kaplan group would give Fed
eral workers coverage under So
cial security, so far as survivor
ship insurance benefits are con-
cerned. Social security gener-
ally provides more liberal cover
age in these benefits. And Gov
ernment workers would continue
to remain under civil service re-
tirement for their annuity bene-
fits, which are more generous
than those provided under So
cial security The present 6 per
cent employe contribution would
not be increased.
Whether such a plan would
be economically feasible is some
thing actuaries will have to de-
termine. AT any rate, it is being
coldly received by Government
employe leaders. who say inclu-
sion of all Federal workers un-
der social security would be the
prelude to the eventual destruc-
ton of the civil service retire
ment system.
