Gently.
Mr.. Broyhill has said his DEM
ocratic opponent. John C.. Webb,
uses campaign material fur
nished by the NALC. He de-
clared some of Mr.. Webb's
charges were untrue and others
were half-truths.
The association said It was not
familiar with Mr.. Webb's exact
charges but declared everything
NAI.C has ever stated about the
Broyhill record could be proved.
The association made these
points in its letter to the Repub-
lican incumbent:
That Mr.. Broyhill did not sign
the discharge petition to bring
the pay bill before the House.
That he voted against the
Corbett amendment.
That he voted against placing
a 5000 floor for postal employees
and a $3.50 floor for Federal
employees in the Rees bill.
That Mr.. Broyhill worked with

to aid in describing Jobs and
assigning grades. There would
be ~ grades for non-supervi-
sorry jobs depending on the
duties involved. Approximately
SO bench mark" jobs would be
selected to offer a cross section
OF common jobs Of varying kinds
and levels of work. These would
be assigned to one of IL grades
tentative numberO by consider
ing their relative skill, response
bility. effort and working
conditions. AL other Jobs would
be graded consistently with the
bench marks.
Similarly. a group of super
visory bench mark jobs would be
assigned to one Of l8 supervisory
grades on the basis of three fac
tors: Level Of work supervised,
kind OF supervisory responsible
ties, and workload. The first 12
grades are for foremen over
work in non-supervisory grades
through II, respectively. The
last six grades would be for
general foremen. All other
supervisory jobs would then be
graded consistently with the
bench marks.
There would be a separate
non-supervisory and separate
supervisory wage schedule for
each Of the 800 wage localities
in the country. AS explained
previously, the grades of jobs
Of equal skills and duties would
be alike, but the salary might
differ due to prevailing private
industry pay conditions in the
various localities.
The Federal Wage Board
would be assisted by an Employe
Advisory Board. Membership on
this group would be appointed
by the CSC chairman after con-
sulting with Federal employe
union leaders. This group would
be regularly with the chairman
OF the Federal Wage Board to
consider and advise on various
features of the program under
consideration of the board.
Drafting of the proposed pro-
gram has been largely the work
of William F. Sorensen, jr.,
former Army Department chief
of Salary and Wage Admins
tration. He recently was ap-
pointed special assistant to the
CSC executive director.
Commission officials say their
plan would mean more equitable
pay for per diem workers ano
would reduce the administrative
cost Of the present individual
agency wage board system.
The Federal employe unions
who have been opposed to any
central wage board suggestions
in the past, are now being asked
by the CSC for their reactions
and suggestions regarding the
new plan.
The unions cooperation will
be needed If the plan is to re-
ceive the approval Of Congress.

Six Webb Charges
In " Appearance

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia's 10th dis
trict. Says his position on Fed
eral pay legislation has been
nlisrepresented In the current
political campaign.
In a television talk from Sta
ton WTTG last night. Mr..
Broyhill answered six charges
made by his opponent. Democrat
John c. Webb. He described the
charges as either falsehoods or
half-truths.
First, Representative Broyhill
denied a statement that he did
not consult Virginia State of.
ficials before introducing his bill
for the Jones Point Bridge and
a centrally-located span across
the Potomac River. He said
State highway officials partici-
pated in q number OF sessions Of
regional planning agencies at
which he discussed the bridges.
Mr.. Broyhill denied that he
failed to get his own pay raise
bill considered by the House
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee. He said the bill was
considered. adding that he de-
voted more than an hour ex-
planning its provisions. He said
he received congratulations on
his presentation from the leaders
OF various Federal employe
groups.
The incumbent explained why
he voted last April against clos
ing hearings on pay increases
for Federal workers. The motion,
he said. would have prevented
any testimony on pay increases
for classified workers. He
pointed out that all testimony
until that time had been for
postal workers only.
The Representative asserted
his record proves he is not
against pay raises but is against
"unrealistic maneuvering and
stubbornness which made cer-
tain a presidential veto"
IF the strategy ! proposed
had been adopted" he said. "all
Federal employees would today be
receiving more money"
He stuck by an earlier promise
to introduce retroactive pay
raise legislation if he is re-
elected.

But DR.. Dixon, too. is said to
have a strong following in Lo-
gan. Ogden and Provo, the larg-
est towns in the district. A mild
hammered, amiable man. he took
over as head of USAC in Logan

Party leaders quoted DR.. Dixon
as citing his desire to remain at
Utah State and family objections
as behind his reluctance to make

diem workers.
About $4,000 defense agencies
per diem workers in the WASH
ington area would be involved.
However, the Government Print
ing Once and the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, in all
probability, would be allowed to
continue their present wage
board systems. Also, the District
Of Columbia government has
asked that its per diem workers
be continued under the present
wage board system.
kA y
FEATURES - The proposed
legislation would contain a saw
ingS clause which would guaran-
tee per diem workers in their
present jobs against any cut in
salary as q result of the new
system.
CSC officials said that in some
jobs and in some areas, per diem
pay would be increased. Other
positions in other areas would be
cut in salary, although this
would not affect the incumbents
In the jobs. It would, however.
affect them as they moved to
other positions. v
Under the plan, the csc would
set UP a Job analysis and evalua-
ton system for per diem jobs
similar to that used for claSsi-
fed jobs. There would be one
system for non-supervisory posi-
tions and one for foreman type
jobs.
The Jobs would be placed in
grades according to duties on a
uniform basis throughout the
various areas throughout the
country. The idea will be that
all employees performing essen
tally the same dies under like
working conditi0Rs should re-
ceive the same nAy If they are
WORDING in the sAme labor mar
ket.
However. II thu prevailing pre-
vailing private industry wage
rate of one area of tliH country
/ is higher than anot her, tIaen the
Government Per diem Jobs in
that area would also pay d high
er rate.
For example, a .GoJefa4tfient
carpenter in Chicago ana an
other Federal carpenter In New
York both perform the same
duties. That fact has been de-
termined through the job anal
ysis part Of the plan. " Through
use Of the job evaluation proc
ess, both jobs are assigned to q
given grade 8. Based on wage
surveys which show that the
private industry wage rate for
these jobs, is slightly higher in
New York. the hourly wage rate
for grade 8 might be So in Chi
cago and $2.10 in New York.
On a general basis, a wage
survey will be made once each
year throughout the country to
see if pay adjustments are
needed to keep in line with pri-
vate industry rates. The sur
veys will be made by the Bureau
Of Labor Statistics wherever
possible. Otherwise, the csc
will supervise the survey.
Where a single agency is the
preponderant Government en-
ployer in an area, it will con-
duct the survey.
Pay adjustments could be au-
thorized by the agencies. based
on these surveys. without prior
CSC approval. However, the
commission would post-audit all
pay adjustments and would have
the authority to rescind any that
it did not approve.

The Last Word

The Wrens, British counterpart Of our
Waves, have won a womanly last word in
skirmish with the Royal Navy. The diet for
the contingent of 200 landlocked on the
H. M. S. Daedalus, shore base, no longer
need contain such figure destroying items
as suet pudding.
The battle was undercover for a long
time The Wrens were going off base, osten-
sibly for shopping but in reality for eating
lighter lunches. Commander G. E. Fardell
in command of the base, found out about it
and decreed that the Wrens stay aboard for
their meals. He ran into squall. What,
the WrenS demanded was the big idea?
They protested the food was starchy and
unpalatable, particularly that awful duff"
the suet pudding which has been tradi-
tional Royal Navy dessert for centuries.
When the incident made headlines in
the British press, Commander Fardell
trimmed sail and came about. And then the
tickle women, exercising their traditional
privilege of changing their minds, stayed on
base next day to see if there had been any
changes in the menu. The only difference
they noted was a few more currants in the
pudding. So now they're eating ashore"
again. The commanders change Of heart

Rosh Hoshonoh

The high holy days of the American
Jewish community this year coincide with
the start of a Nationwide celebration Of the
tercentenary of Jewish settlement in what
now is the United States. AS they COM
mence a new religious calendar, the people
of Abraham must rejoice in what has been
accomplished since new chapter in their
history opened with the arrival of Jacob
Barsimson in New Amsterdam in 1854. The
progress of the past 800 years should be
prelude to a future providentially even
more fruitful.
Granted that no advancement Is easy
of achievement and that such developments
as the creation of the Jewish national state
of Israel seem to be feasible only through
the expenditure of sweat and blood and
tears it nevertheless is obvious that great
multitude, of like-minded like-believing
human beings either go forward or retreat
in the kaleidoscope of the world. There was
a time when it seemed that the Jews were
destined to disappear. Some Of their own
most notable scholars were pessimistic
about their chances of survival in the face
of many difficulties, many handicaps.
others were more hopeful and, especially in

q world power, their faith has been justified
The Jewish people have prospered as Amer
lea has grown in population, wealth and
power.
Certainly, the Jews have played their
part in this phenomenon of national pro-
erosion. In every crisis they have sup
ported fundamental Judaic- Christian ideals,
such as those set forth in the Declaration
of independence, the Constitution and the
Bill of Rights as well as those declared by
Lincoln at Gettysburg. There is no reason
to doubt that they will do their full duty
in the present world emergency. The fate
of the Jewish people everywhere-Israel
included-is bound up with that of America.
This was true in principle in 1854; it
surely is true now, and all men and women
of goodwill realize the fact. So at Rosh
Hashonah SITS Jews and gentiles alike
salute each other with appreciation, respect
and mutual wish for common fulflllment
of their noblest hopes.
