next June of about 81 billion.
Senator Byrd believes the Treas
ury income estimate will prove
to be a little high.
Senator Byrd prepared a table
today to show that if the $61.5
billion of taxes could be spread
equally over the year. no in
crease in the debt limit would
be necessary or justif1able in the
current fiscal year.
But he recognizes that until
the new method of spreading
corporation taxes into quarterly
payments is in full effect. the
peaks and valleys in collections
cannot be ironed out.
The House passed the $500
billion debt ceiling bill last sum-
mer. If the Senate committee
accepts the Byrd proposal for a
temporary $3.50 billion ceiling.
the final figure would still be
subject to change in conference,
and the conferees might agree on
some figure between the House
and Senate bill.

Foreign Aid Funds
Face New Hurdle in
Appropriations Unit

Senator Long, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, said today he does
not expect to resist the action Of
House and Senate conferees in
restoring to the Foreign Aid
authorization bill half of the
$500 million cut he sponsored.
But the Senator pointed out
that the $3,O54.568. 900 total
agreed upon by the conferees
is only an authorized ceiling,
which still must undergo the
scrutiny of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee when it
votes today or tomorrow on the
separate foreign aid appropria-
ton bill.
Long Optimistic.
Senator Long said the vote
Of As to Al by which the Senate
adopted his motion which re-
duced the authorized ceiling to
$2.7 billion should encourage the
Appropriations Committee to
feel that the Senate would sus-
tain that committee if it held
the appropriation below the So
billion mark.
The House already has scaled
the appropriation bill down to
$2.8 billion.
Although conferees agreed
promptly yesterday on the over
all ceiling in the authorization
bill, they still had to work out
the details of where they would
apply the smaller cut of approx
mately 1919 million.
Before recessing until this af-
ternoon. the conferees agreed
to let the Foreign OPERATIONS
Administration transfer up to is
per cent of the military assist
ance funds from one area of
the world to another.
They also retained the Senate
ceiling of $712 million in place
of the $500 million in the House
bill to be used at the Presidents
discretion in furthering mutual
security plans in Southeast Asia.
The prompt decision of the
conferees to restore half Of the
Senate cut came simultaneously
with strong statement by
President Eisenhower that the
Senate reduction went too deep
and would hurt badly.
Already In Session.
The conferees were already
in closed session when the
President expressed himself at
a news conference. and probably
would have made the same de-
cision il he had not spoken up.
Members of the conference
group pointed out that while
, they had not learned of the
Presidents press conference
statement. they said they knew
how Mr.. Eisenhower felt about
the need for a larger amount.

u. S. Employees Over IS Would
Get Free Life Insurance

said it writes group life insurance
only on its own employees.
Another insurance organiza-
ton here Is the United Letter
Carriers Mutual Benefit Associ-
alton. George A. Bang, chief
collector. said it hopes to share
in the business and hopes to get
a major portion OF the Insurance
on letter carriers.
The organization does a reg
ular insurance business. It is in
corporated in Tennessee, but its
operating Office is here. BY the
terms of its charter, Its under
writing is restricted to letter
carriers and their wives.
Insurance company officials
said the business will not be
profitable to any great extent
and that the rates have been cut
right down to the bone" But
one official said, I'VE want to
do this business rather than to
have the Government do It,"
$40 Million in Premiums.
It is estimated that total
premiums will come to about
$40 million a year and that the
companies will be taxed by the
States about $1.4 million.
Warren B. Irons Of the Civil
Service Commission. who will be
in charge of the operation for
the Government, estimated the
District Government would COLI
lect about $177.000 a year OF
this tax.
He gave figures which indi-
cate taxes to be paid on the
premiums on the policies issued
to Government workers in Mary
land would total about $39, 900,
and in Virginia. about $66, 900.
Mr.. Irons explained the GER
tif1cates to be issued to employees
probably will not carry : the
name of the insurance company
writing the insurance. The act
says. "The life insurance COM
pany or companies issuing such
policy or policies shall establish
an administrative Office under a
name to. be approved by the
Civil Service) Commission"
Mr.. Irons said the name of
this administrative Office will be
on the certificates. He also said
he hoped that a contract could
be made with one company COW
ering all Of the business and
that other companies would then
share in the business through
reinsurance.

with the Republican National
Committee. This doesn't neces-
sarily mean the committees
candidate is selected. It means
that any candidate selected from
the civil service register must
receive the q. o. p. nod before
he gets the job.
The White House, during the
last few months. has also been
getting into the act. Handling
much of the patronage is Charles
F. Willis, jr., an assistant to
Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams,
Mr.. Willis is the one who is
reported to have drafted the ILL
fated and short-lived unsigned
memo to agency heads that APP
pointments and. promotions to
all Federal jobs in Grade IA
,($9, 500 a year, and above had
to be cleared with the Repub-
'ican National Committee.
Chairman Philip Young of the
Civil Service Commission, who is
supposed to be President EiSen-
hower's representative on Gov
eminent personnel matters. told
The Star he knew nothing about
the White House directive re-
garding political clearance OF
civil service jobs. Apparently
this important policy decision
was reached without even con-
sulting Mr.. Young or the Civil
Service Commission. which has
the duty of operating the Gov
ernment's merit system.
The White House order was
withdrawn after the adverse
publicity it received. Legal off,
Gals also pointed out that the
civil service laws expressively
prohibit any political considera-
ton in the appointment and pro-
motions to civil service jobs. A
new order was issued this week
to the effect that only non-civil
service jobs in Grade IA and
above must be cleared with the
Republican high command.
But many career officials feel
the damage already has been
done. They feel the original
order expressed the White
Houses real intent and that the
new and modified order was
issued reluctantly. They feel the
entire incident has tended to
lower morale among career peo-
pie.

ANOTHER DEvICE-The Re
publican high command has not
given up in its fight to win con-
troll over sizable bloc Of Fed
eral jobs.
Apparently with some success,
the G. o. P. politicos are getting
jobs for the party faithful among
the so-called 1903" jobs. There
are about 900 of these jobs,
which are under civil service, but
which are filled directly without
competitive exams being held.
The candidates, however, are

service stands for the jobs.

supposed to meet minimum civil
service stands for the jobs.
The authority to fill the jobs
ii this manner is given by the
Civil Service Commission in
cases where there are no cur
rent civil service registers. where
the jobs are hard to fill or where
they are temporary ones. The
authorization form is numbered
303. hence the 1908" designation.
This type of authorization has
long existed and is nothing new.
However, the csc. several weeks
ago. put a new wrinkle into the
program and this has caused
much concern among supporters
Of the merit system.
The commission directed each
of its 10 regional offices and the
800 agency boards of ex-
aminers in the field to send a
copy Of each authorized job
opening to the head of the ap-
propriate department or agency
here in Washington.
The commission says this step
was taken to acquaint agency
heads with their hiring problems
and to have them order their
agency boards to hold more
exams and thus cut down on
this type of appointments.
Commission officials said this
was a major step to strengthen
the merit system. Yet the move
was done in secrecy. No press
release was put out on it.
Many feel that the. CSC's move
was taken for just the opposite
effect-to supply Federal job in
formation to the Republican
National Committee and other
G.. 0. P. patronage sources so
these job vacancies can be filled
by the party faithful. Reports
are that the csc was not too
happy about taking this step
but that it was presumed into
doing so by the Republican high
command. Mr.. Young denies
this.
The Republicans lost no time
in taking advantage of the
revised 1908" order. The New
York Republican State Commit
tee printed standard forms for
the party faithful, giving details
on how to apply for these posi-
tions, together with information
on current job openings. The
applicant turns in this form
with his political Endorsement,
together with his regular job
Form 81.
An example of the current
trend away from merit-system
principles can be seen by the at
titude of the business supported
non-partisan National Civil Serv-
ice League. The league, during
the last 20 months. has taken a
wait-and-see attitude, preferring
to- give the administration a
chance to adjust itself regarding
patronage problems and the civil
service.
But officials of the 75-year- old
league say the present situation
is Every bad" and they disclose
that their organization, within
the next week. will sharply criti-
cize the administration and de-
