Postal Pay Bill
IIllpdsse Sndgs
Other Raises
Little Chonce Seen
For Congress Action
In This Session
kx fhs A,seeiafed Pra,, 3

Pigeonholing Of proposed pay
increases for half q million
postal workers Is threatening to
kill both pay boosts for q mil
lion other Federal workers and
D proposed increase in postal
rates.
The postal pay measure.
cleared last month by the House
Post ONCE Committee, would
grant q total increase OF about
5000 million a year. But 1t by
passes an administration request
for q ,major overhaul of post of
nee job classifications.
Speculation that President
Eisenhower wouldn't sign a pay
bill Smitting Job overhaul fea-
lures led the policymaking House
Rules Committee to pigeonhole
the measure.
This put the squeeze on an
administration : backed bill to
raise postal rates SEAS million q
year, including penny increase
in the cost Of mailing letters.
Administration leaders are hold
ing up action on rate increases
until settlement of the pay issue
points to the probable size Of
the post Office deficit.
The postal pay delay has also
had the effect of stalling a re-
quest by other classified Gov
eminent workers for a total pay
boost Of 1925 billion q year.
Action this session on the
postal pay measure, and thus
on the other proposals. appears
unlikely since @. o. p. leaders
are shooting for congressional
adjournment by July 81.
