explained:
Increased activity and mini

Pay Rise Stalled
F ForU.S.L Leaders

Time is a-wasting if the ad-
ministration hopes to have Con-
gress approve pay raises for the
Governments top executives this
year.
With Congress pushing for ad-
journment in two or three
weeks, the administration still
hasn't sent to Capitol Hill its
long-awaited proposal for rails
ing the pay of cabinet officers,
agency and bureau heads, as
sistant secretaries, members OF
commissions and other officials
covered by the Executive Pay
Act.
The administration says the
proposal will go to Congress
soon, but any further delay
could kill the bills chances for
this year. That's why the officials
involved are putting pressure on
the White House to send the
proposal to Congress this week
The administration also favors
lifting the s14.800 pay ceiling fol-
classified employees to $l7,500 6
year, but there seems no chance
that Congress will consider such
action this year.

lpolitieal considerations In filling
civil service jobs.
The House and Senate Civil
Service Committees both are in
vestigating charges that political
factors are determining appoint
ments and promotions in civil
service jobs.
This hostile atmosphere" to-
ward civil service jobs and thu
merit system can be ended only
by revocation Of the Willis di-
receive, the White House has
been told. Unless this Is done
the threat to the merit system
remains. employe leaders say.
Actually, the forthcoming
White House directive won't
mention the Willis order BY
name.
Rather, the recent findings OF
the Hoover Commission that
civil service Jobs should be COM
|pletely divorced from non-civil
service positions and the attend
ant political factors will be used
as the basis Of the new policy.
At the same time. the White
House Is expected to clarity pro-
cedures to be used in filling non
civil service jobs. Republican
members Of Congress as well as
the Republican National Com
mittee have complained Of lack
of cooperation by some agency
heads in filling these political
patronage iobS.
