WORKERS PAY INCREASE
Sen. Frear Says Salary Increase
for Postal Workers Deserved


United States Senator j. Allen
Frear said today that salary
increase for postal workers and
classified Federal employees is de-
served and that he hopes that the
President will sign the legislation
now before him which will in
crease the compensation of these
employees. In his weekly state
ment, Mr.. Frear expressed the
view that if the President vetoes
the existing legislation, which was
sent to the White House last
week, a further indefinite delay
will occur before new legislation
can be acted upon. Mr.. Frear
pointed out that although differ
ences of opinion existed among
various organizations of postal
employees regarding the merits of
the bill, these groups now appear
to be in substantial agreement and
are in favor of the existing legis-
lation. On the subject of foreign
affairs, the Senator reviewed the
past weeks developments on the
proposed Big -Four meeting and
called attention to the necessity
for the President and Secretary
of State to exercise the most care
full judgment on any agreements
that might be made affecting the
United States. Said Mr.. Frear:
1--WE have had an tensiv e
amount of experience since World
War I in dealing with information
al problems through the medium
of conferences. The degree of sue
cess from these meetings is at
tested to by what has happened
to the world in the past genera
ton. I hope that every American
citizen will exercise personal re-
sponsibility to keep informed on
this approaching conference, for
decisions could be reached there
which would profoundly affect the
lives of all of u.s."

TRADE CENSUS

Collection of 1854 Census of
Business Reports Moving
Into Home Stretch
VALUABLE STATISTICS

Collection of reports in the 1884
Censuses of Business, Manufac-
lures and Mineral Industries,
which are being conducted nation
wide by the Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce, now is
moving into the home stretch.
Thirty-eight temporary field Of
fees, established early this year
to conduct these Censuses, are
concentrating on the task of work.
ing themselves out of job. These
offices will be closed as soon as
all business men have filed their
reports and these reports have
been checked and relayed to
Washington. Among these field Of
fees the one covering this area
is that of Census Supervisor Har-
nv w. Baker, located at 8 South
Liberty Street, Baltimore, Md.
Here 13 employees are at work
processing reports received to
date from $4,000 establishments.
They are aiming for completion
of the job in the next few weeks
when reports from a remaining
1000 establishments have been re-
ceived.
Registered letters are being
sent to establishments which have
not fled their reports in compli-
-ance with Census law, formally
notifying them that their reports
have not been received despite
several previous reminders and
that these reports must be return
ed promptly in accordance with
the law.
In a statement addressed to
heads of business establishments
in this area, Census Supervisor
Baker pointed out that the Cen
sus Bureau, like any well-conduct-
ed business is trying to avoid un-
necessary delays and added ex-
pense arising from such delays.
Delays are costly both in terms
of added expense and the loss of
time that cannot be recovered"
Supervisor Baker said. "In our
business of collecting and pub
fishing statistics timing is very
important. Those business men
who have delayed filing their re-
ports probably do not realize that
statistics are a perishable COM

they increase in age.
'eThe Censuses of Business,
Manufactures and Mineral Indus
tries together make UP one of the
most helpful services which gov
ernment performs for business
men. The new census facts will be
used millions of times during the
next several years by business
men in making decisions on plant
location, development, marketing
channels, sales quotas, advertising
campaigns, and many other mat
ters. Trade associations, chambers
of commerce, and other groups
will also constantly be using this
np-to-date, detailed information.
The censuses will be of vital use
to the government in mobilization
planning and many other pro-
grams as WELL"

Deputy Coyell inherited many
of the planning assignments. He
insists on pushing credit onto
inspectors and his assistants. He
especially praised Sergt. Karl
Kratochvil.
The planning went all the
way down the line, the deputy
chief emphasized. Precinct
commanders were told, what
had to be done, and they had
to go to work on it, with their
lieutenants and sergeants and
corporals breaking the jobs down
more minutely, from precinct
problems to individual chores at
the separate intersections.
Plans Brought Up to Date
In 1851. the 1945 plans were
busted OF and modernized for
another streetcar dispute. The
underpaid officers of today are
following an outline that still
has the skeleton of the l945
project.
Top police got going on strike
plans some time ago. BY June
10 they had recommendations
ready for the District Commis-
sioners, stressing all along that
|it was merely q better pre-
pared affair.
Actually. they knew pretty
definitely even then that there
would be a strike. But since
they could not interfere in ne
Igotiations, and Of course had no
right at all to interfere, every
thing was on an if-come basis, at
least officially.
Their scrupulous attention to
detail was unfortunate for the
poor guys who planned to leave
on various missions. though.
One has a civil court suit
brewing in Pennsylvania that
could give him around $4,000
from relatives estate.
After several years Of delays,
the lawyer was ready, the Judge
was ready, the objecting kinfolk
were ready, and the officer had
q subpoena to tell his piece. Along
came the strike. He couldn't
be spared to attend the hearing,
and now there's no telling when

and consider the need for

Mr.. Trenbath also calls

RETROACTIVE PAY-As dis
closed here last week. Federal
agencies are making every effort
to have the retroactive lump sum
pay checks in the hands of their
employees by the middle or third
week of July. And IN most cases
it appears that they will succeed.
Only a very few agencies will be
forced to hold up the retroactive
payments until the end of the
month.
Army and Air Force are follow
ing the lead of Navy, which al
ready has paid the retroactive
sum. Army classified employees
will get their pay boast next
week. while the Air Force white
collar employees are due to get
their back pay by the end of
next week. Commerce and In
terror also are planning to issue
the back pay checks within the
next week to 10 days. Justice
Department employees probably
will get their checks today or
tomorrow. Most other Federal
agencies plan to issue the retro
active pay checks within the
next two weeks or sooner.

Regarding next year, it was
indicated the committees would
want to study the plan very
carefully before taking any
action. Full details Of the. plan
were given in this column last
Saturday.
Many Of the major Govern
ment employe leaders also are
somewhat less than enthusiastic
about the measure in its present
form. The employe leaders par
ticularly object to the provi-
sion whereby Federal employees
would pay two-thirds of the
cost, while the Government pays
only one-third.
Although not stated, another
reason for the unions GOODNESS
to the plan is the fact that Gov
ernment employe groups have
their own medical insurance
plans for their members. This
has been used as a device to at
tract and retain members and q
Government-sponsored hospital
medical program might take the
edge OF the unions benefits,
employe leaders feel.
However, If the cost to the
employe were reduced, the en-
ploye groups might change their
minds.
