| hope that everyone in the 9th
Maryland District, in Washington,
and throughout the world will take
advantage of this season to stress
accident prevention Let us de-
termine that no preventable acct
dent will mar our holiday.
Real and ultimate safety on the
highways and in our city streets is
a goal that requires a three-fold APP
proach We need modern, safe
highways and city streets; we need
automobiles that are designed as
safe containers for the transport
tation of human beings; we need
driver education-not only through
high school training programs for
youngsters, but also for adult
drivers who need to be taught how
to use modern vehicles on high
speed turnpikes.

The holiday season is an appro-
pirate period in which TO translate
slogans into action. | am thinking
in particular of the Presidents re-
cent proclamation setting aside a
special day to emphasize safe driv-
ing. An accident-free holiday sea-
son is the finest gift we can give
ourselves
Unfortunately at this time of the
year there is an increase in pre-
ventable accidents Of all types not
just on our highways but also in
the home and at our places of work.
Safety engineers can design the
safest of Christmas decorations
they can create tools and places to
work where hazards are reduced
to a minimum, but it takes the hui
man individual to make safety slo-
gans and devices really work

The breakdown of the refugee
relief act was practicable, Mr..
TRACER said. He recalled that the
Jewish organizations comprising
the NCRAC questioned the wis
dom of the legislation when it was
introduced-''not because of any
lack of concern on their part for
the tragic plight of the refugees,
but because they felt that the pro-
posed legislation would not ac-
complish the purpose for which it
was ostensibly designed, and be-
cause they felt that debate over
the measure would derail public
attention and interest of legisla-
tors from the really necessary
problem of basic revision of our
immigration statutes"

Senators Back
1917 Boost for
Classified Jobs
Bill Provides Same
Pay Increase for
District Workers
By Joseph Young

The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee today approved legislation
providing a 10 per cent pay raise
for Government classified work.
ers.
The 10 per cent increase
would be retroactive to last De-
cember 81.
The legislation also would give
the same 10 per cent increase
to District of Columbia govern
ment classified employees and
legislative and judicial workers.
Million Would Benefit.
Approximately / million Fed
eral workers would benefit from
the bill. including about 225, 900
in the Washington area.
The committee last week ap-
proved similar 10 per cent pay
boost for postal workers.
Under the committees bill to-
day, all classified employees with
the exceptions of those in Grades
l and 18, would receive a fiat
10 per cent salary increase.
Those in Grade /, who now earn
$4,000 to $2,980 a year, would
get 5000 increase. Committee
members explained that only a
handful of employees were in this
category and that most of these
were high school students. Con-
sequently. the committee felt
that a 5000 increase was suf-
ficient for these employees.
The committee voted no pay
raise for employees in Grade 18
t$l4.800 year,. declining to lift
the $l4,800 Classification Act pay
ceiling. Committee m m b ers
said that the ceiling probably
would be lifted at a later date
as part of separate legislation so
that these top-bracket GF-l8
employees can get pay increase.
S Per Cent Plan Rejected.
Prior to approving the 10 per
cent measure, the committee
voted 6 to 2 in opposition to the
administrations 5 per cent
pay raise proposal for Federal
employees.
The committee rejected a pro-
vision which would have guaran-
teed Federal supervisors at least
a per cent pull in salary over
persons they supervise. Instead,
the committee directed the Civil
Service Commission to make q
study of the situation and re-
port it's findings and recon-
mendations next year.
Meanwhile, the House Civil
Service Committee met again in
executive session today on the
postal salary reclassification bill.
Committee members said
furry of last-minute proposals
for changes delayed final action.
They hoped to reach agreement
on postal salary legislation to-
morrow or Thursday. After
that the House committee will
then take UP classification en-
ploye pay raise legislation.
