Living Costs Stable
During January
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Government reported to-
day that living costs were un-
changed In January from De-
cember.
There were slight increases in
the cost of food and some other
items but these rises were bal
anced by drops in prices of cloth
ing and house furnishings during
January sales.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said its January index remained
at the December level Of 114.3.
This is a fraction on l per cent
below January, 1854, and / per
cent under the October, 1858,
living cost peak. -
There was insufficient change
in the index to require any pay
adjustment for about one mil
lion workers in the auto and air.
craft industries whose pay rates
are geared to the index by union
contracts.
This would have been the last
time quarterly living cost pay
adjustments would have been
possible under. major flve-year
auto industry contracts which
begin to expire at the end OF

would range from $3.50 for those

Retroactive Provision.
The committees average 10
per cent pay raise for both classi-
fed and postal workers would
be retroactive to last Decem-
ber 81.
The pay-raise battle that
seems sure to develop centers
around the Senate groups fail
ure to approve the postal salary
reclassification plan of Post
master General Summerfield.
The Senate group ignored the
plan completely, voting only to
give postmasters and super
visors the automatic s100 yearly
increase given to other postal
workers.
The failure Of Congress to
overhaul the postal salary sys-
tenn was one of the major causes
of President Eisenhower's veto OF
the Federal pay measure last
August. Mr.. Summerfield has
declared he will urge another
presidential pay veto if the
postal salary reclassification is
not approved.
Modified Version.
President Eisenhower and Mr.,
Summerfield this year proposed
a somewhat modified version OF
the postal salary reclassification
plan, which the administration
declared would modernize the
"hopelessly outmoded" postal
salary structure. They also pro-
posed an average 61a per cent
postal pay raise. The admins

President S Help in
Patronage Problem

Republican Senator's have ap-
pealed personally to President
Eisenhower in an effort to get
the Civil Service Commission to
give weight to their recon-
rnendatior1s for appointments to
de-classified jobs In the Federal
Government. This was revealed
at a meeting of the Republican
Policy Committee of the Senate
yesterday.
A committee consisting Of Sem
ators Carlson of Kansas, Duff OF
Pennsylvania and Case of New
Jersey spent o half hour with
the President recently, telling
him of the dissatisfaction of Re-
publican Senators in the matter
of patronage. The President
promised to look into the matter,
the committee reported.
Mr.. Eisenhower, however. told
the committee he did not wish
to do anything which would
injure or help to tear down the
merit system in the Civil Service.
One of the principal COM
plants against the Civil Service
Commission has been that the
commission has set UP standards
for appointment which, in effect,
prevent the appointment of new
men to de-classified jobs. These
standards require experience
which only Democrats, who have
been in Office for a long time.
have had.
The Senate Republicans also
insist that policy making jobs
should be filled only by ap-
pointees who are in sympathy
with the policies of the Repub-
lican administration.
