KANSAS CITY. Mo. Sept. a.
Chairman Philip Young Of the
United States Ciyil Service Conn
mission today called for what he
said would be q anew approach
to the whole problem Of setting
Government salary rates"
His address. prepared for de-
livery to the Kansas City Federal
Personnel Conference. was read
to the gathering by John w
Macy, jr., the commissions exec
utiye director. Mr.. Young was In
Washington on other urgent
business.
II believe. Mr.. young's mes
sage said. that the Congress Is
not so much interested in indi-
vidual pay rates as 1t Is in three
fundamentals namely, the low
est rate. the highest rate and
the overall cost.
Perhaps the Congress could
Get the broad limits Of the pay
range In terms OF these three
fundamentals. within which the
individual grade rates could be
set and altered from time to time
BY the executive branch. Such o
system would be more quickly
responsive to economic changes,
would be pretty well removed
from the political arena and
could inaprove employe-manage-
ment relationships. We are cur
rently studying TINS problem in
the commission.
Mr.. Young threw out this pro-
posal In Q lengthy address during
which he praised the legislation

last session of Congress and

Arlington Seen Aided
by New Tax [eadIine

Setting Arlington's deadline
for collecting real estate taxes
back to August Is last year
helped the county's fiscal pro-
gram. County Treasurer Colin
C. MACPHERSON said yesterday.
The change was ordered BY the
General Assembly.
The previous deadline' was De-
cember 5. which is still the date
when personal property and
State income taxes are due.
For the first time in several
years, the tax money coming in
during the summer of 1854 made
1t unnecessary for the county
to borrow money. In the past.
1t has cost at least $1,000 a year
to obtain funds to be used until
tax payments began coming In.
Mr.. Macpherson said that on
December 5. the county had on
hand about $3.50. 900 more than
had been received on the same
date q year before.
OF $7.076.6 .658 due last August
Is in real estate taxes. only
about 1920. 900 was uncollected
by December 5. This was shout
as per cent of the total due. In
1858, about 8 per cent was still
uncollected on December 5.

Tax Jump Predicted
If Gray Plan Wins

Mrs. Anne wilkins, member of
the Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors, today commended that
Northern Virginia residents
could expect stable tax increases
if the State adopts the Gray
plan
A referendum will be held
January 8 to determine whether
the State Constitution should be
amended along the lines recon-
mended by the Gray plan. This
would permit payment of tut
ton grants to students who pre-
fer not to attend integrated
schools.
Mrs. wilkins, an opponent Of
the Gray plan, issued her state
ment in reply to a contention by
Arlington Delegate Harrison
Mann that heavier taxes could
he expected if the Gray plan
fails.
Assuming that the section of
the constitution which provides
for operation Of a public school
system is not affected by the
amendment, the State will have
Ito step in and operate public
schools in the localities which
abandon them, said Mrs. Wilkins.

the statement. that the pro-
posed making Of grants to
parents for the education Of
their children can in many cases
have great value. but does not
believe that the exercise Of this
privilege would be so general as
to result in the establishment
of an extensive system of
private schools"
The statement indicated the
board members felt any tamper-
ing with compulsory attendance
law should be cautiously under
taken. The Gray report pro-
poSals called for changing the
law so that parents would not
be required to send their chill
dren to integrated schools.
This is a matter Of very
great Importance. and any
change in the provisions should
be clearly defined and limited
so that it cannot be used by
persons who may wish to avoid
the responsibilities of sending
their children to Schools" said
the statement.

Fuirfux Drive Set
For Favorable Vote
On Amendment

The Fairfax County Commit
tee for the Constitutional Con-
vention last night planned an
international campaign in its
drive for a favorable vote jan
uary 9 on the proposed Virginia
constitutional amendment.
The group, headed by Attor-
ney Paul L. Sweeney, set up a
speakers bureau and arranged
for teleyision appearances on
January 3 and January 8.
The recently formed organiza-
ton favors the amendment to
allow State aid for private edu-
cation.
Mrs. Clyde Miller, secretary Of
the committee. said the Airing
ton County counterpart of the
Fairfax group planned television
appearances on December 20 and
December 81.
It was also announced that
the group has opened an Office
in the Orr Building in the town
of Fairfax.

lie schools. according to the Gray
report, the State taxpayer will
have the burden of providing
.one-half of whatever the tuition
grant system costs the localities
in addition to their regular school
budget" she declared. Nobody
knows how much this figure will
be-"
Mrs. wilkins said it was not,
true that localities would be de-
MED tuition grants If they failed
to maintain a public school sys-
tenn. She added:
THE report clearly provides
for setting up funds for tuition
grants in counties where public
schools are abandoned and for
State contributions to the same.
If this had not been the clear
intent of the General Assembly,
why was not Delegate Omer
IHirst's amendment accepted?
This amendment would have
specifically prohibited State
funds from going to localities
which did not maintain public
schools"
She predicted that the Gray
plan would not save public
schools in a single locality in
Virginia, as proponents have
claimed.
