he was idolized there, as he had
just received his masters degree
from the University.

The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee today voted to repeal
the Whitten rider which curbS
permanent appointments and
promotions in the Government.
The committees bill would
open the way for permanent
status appointments for hun
dreds of thousands of Govern
ment indefinite employees who
have passed Civil Service tests
but have been denied status
due to the Whitten rider.
Repeal of the Whitten rider
was one of the many benefits
contained in the so-called fringe
benefits bill approved by the
committee today. The measure
is sponsored by Senator Carl
son, Republican, of Kansas.
chairman of the committee.
Additional Pay Benefits.
Other features in the bill are /:
/. Increased overtime and lon
gevity pay benefits. The bill pro-
videS time and one-half pay
ment for overtime work on the
first $3.50 of Federal salaries.
At present, time and a half is
provided on the first $4,000 of
Federal wages. The committee's s
bill provides, however, that en-
ployes earning $11,800 a year
or more would not receive over
time pay.
2. The number of supergrade
jobs in grades 16 to 18 paying
salaries of $4,000 to $14,800 a
year are increased by 800 new
positions.
3. Uniform allowances of 500
are authorized for postal and
other Federal workers who have
to wear uniforms on duty. The
committee provided, however,
that this money would have
to be authorized in a separate
appropriation by Congress and
not as part of this bill.
