of proposed fringe" BENEFITS
will give Government employees
benefits that are at least equal
to those enjoyed by employees in
private industry.
AS reported reviously, the
csc is rather cool to the idea
of Federal pay raise this year.
The commission feels that en-
actment of fringe benefits would
be more beneficial to Federal
employees in the long run than
a pay boost.
Government employe groups,
however, while strongly support
ing the fringe benefits requests,
also want a pay boost this year
and have made a salary in
crease their number one legisla-
tive goal.
Regarding retirement liberali-
cation benefits, the CSC will wait
until the Kaplan congressional
appointed committee makes its
recommendations to Congress
befJre deciding its stand. The
Kaplan committee is due to make
its report to Congress within
the next month or so.
VACATION AWARDS - The
Good Government Institute, a
non-profit research institute, an
nounced last night that it will

Irving Zuckerman. director of
the group. said the employees and
their wives or husbands will re-
ceive two-week cations at
Miami Beach hotels, including
room and board. Transportation
expenses are not included.
Federal employees can COM
pete by submitting suggestions
for economy and efficiency in
the suggestion boxes of their
agencies during this month and
February. The agencies will then
refer to the institute the names
of the employees whose sugges-
tions were adopted. The names
of the 16 winners will then be
selected in a series of four draw
ings to be conducted at various
public places, Mr.. Zuckerman
said.

within the next few weeks.
The Civil Service Commission
is expected to ask for more lib
eral overtime payments for Gov
ernment workers. At present,
time-and-one-half overtime pay
ment is made only on the first
1880 of an employees salary,
Congress will be asked to allow
time e-and-one- half payment on
the first $4,000 of an employees
pay.
Longevity pay increases for
employees in grades GS-1l ($5.-
$40 a year, and above also will
be proposed. Employees in grades
below GS-11 receive longevity
increases if they remain in the
same grade for 10 or more years,
but employees in the upper grades
do not get such increases.
The CSC feels that employees in
the GS-1l and above grades also
are entitled to such longevity
pay boosts.
Congress will be asked to cor
rect some inequities in the new
leave law. The csc is especially
concerned over the present pro-
vision which denies cash pay
ment to the survivors of Govern
ment employees for the unused
annual leave of the year in which
the employe died. The commits
sion will ask that such payments
be allowed.
Also, the commission will ask
for repeal of the Whitten rider

10000 Electricians
Plan Flash Strikes
Throughout Britain
BY the Associoted Press

| LONDON, Jan. 8. - Britain'l
Communicated electrical trade!
union called today for a series
of flash strikes for higher pay
The cali threatens a climax ir
the most serious industrial un.
rest to rock Britain since prewal
depression days.
Rejecting a government Offer
to arbitrate, Union Chief Frank
Foulkes ordered his 10000 elec-
tricians to be ready for "guer-
rilla" action all next week.
About 1000 are slated. to stage
one day walkouts against up to
20 contracting firms. spotted
across the country. All 10000
will strike January 18.
About a fourth of Britain's
whole labor force now is fighting
for wage increases.
To Affect Atomic Plants.
Electrical union officials said
they plan strikes where 1T will
hurt the employers the most
but not the country" National
electricity supplies are not ex-
pected to be affected. But the
strikes could slow down construc-
ton work at Britain's atomic and
guided missile projects, airports,
oil ref1neries and steel works.
| The Employers organization
the National Federated Electrical
Association. has warned that
workers will be penalized by one
day of lockout for every day they
/ strike.
The electricians demand pay
increases of up to IL shiIlings
t$1.54 a week. They have turned
down the employers counter
offer of five shilling GO centsj
coupled with cuts in overtime
rates. Electricians now average
nine pounds. four shillings and
four pence ($25.80) a week.
Cite High Living Costs.
! For the first time since the
1930s, the trade unions are re-
verting to old weapons in an
effort to win higher wages

SloWdowns.
The unions argue the high cost
of living justifies their demands
even though the infiationary
spiral has eased. They are de-
mandlng. too, bigger share OF
company profits.
/ Management insists it cannot

endangering the country's ex-
port drive. They say higher
wages would mean higher pro-
duction costs. driving British

which most union wage claims
are based. is lao as against 1873

Croughly $26).
Recent arbitrated wage awards,
rejecting these factors and the
average annual increase since
1916 of around two per cent in
total productivity, have been on
a level of four shillings or less
a week. This compares with seven
or eight shillings a year ago. The
railway unions have called their
