He said he would propose an
amendment granting all Federal
classified and unclassified civil
ian employees an 8 per cent boost.
In this way, he suggested, it will
not be necessary for the Senate
to consume additional time de-
batting and passing a separate
bill.
"It is my considered opinion

I'VE are trying to reduce turn

Government classified and
postal workers should have their
long awaited pay raise within the
next 80 days, including the re-
troactive portion to March /.
Congress and the Eisenhower
administration have reached ac-
cord on the main features Of the
postal pay legislation. which is
the key to pay boosts for classi-
fed workers as well.
The Senate on Tuesday or
Wednesday will approve an aver
age 8 per cent postal pay-re-
classification bill. The measure
has the support of the admins
tration which worked with the
Civil Service Committee in re-
porting the measure.
Then on Thursday the House
Civil Service Committee is ex-
pected to approve similar
measure. Final action on the
measure is expected next week,
which would send the bill to the
White House. This time Presi-
dent Eisenhower is regarded as
certain to sign it.
Once the postal pay bill be-
comes law, Congress will take
prompt action on classified pay
raise legislation. The only ques-
ton remaining is what the
amount of the increase will be.
The best estimate is that it will
be around per cent.
Senator Butler. Republican, of
Maryland, said last night that
when the Senate considers the
postal pay bill, he will offer an
amendment giving classified en-
ployes an across-the-board 8 per
cent raise.
The Senator said there is no
valid reason for voting postal
workers greater percentages Of
salary increases than those en-
joyed by classified workers. He

changed from a four-step pay
scale within each grade to q
three-Step system. The question
arose as to whether employees
who were in Grade 4 would have
their rate Of pay reduced in
bringing them under the three
step system.
The Controller General held
that it was not necessary to re-
duce their pay and that the
agencies were free to continue
to pay the employees at the
higher rate so long as they oc-
cupied their present jobs. While
the Controller General said that
agencies did not have to pay en-
ployes at the higher rate. he
pointed out that Congress has
frequently written in legislation

ployes against loss Of pay as Q
result Of changes in methods Of
determining pay. Thus. agencies
would not be going against
precedent by continuing to pay
fourth-step employees at their
old rate.

Gag ItUp! No!
DemocratsSay
OF Ball Game

The Democratic congressional
baseball team was talking things
over after a training session.
Players were discussing their
unbroken string of seven vic
tories and wondering about their
prospects on June when they
play the Republicans at Griffith
Stadium for the benefit of The
Evening Stars summer camp
fund.
Manager Sgd Herlong, leading
the discussion, asked:
Shall we gag the game up a
bit this year?"
This will probably come as a
surprise to those who have been
present at the previous gamesl
The fans, who have been more
prone to laugh than applaud,
may have been doing an injus-
tice. 1t would appear from
Manager Herlong's question that
the game has been deadly serious
all along.
At any rate, the suggestion
that the game be turned into a
mockery of baseball brought no
favorable response.
Priest Objects
Representative Percy Priest of
Tennessee was first to object.
He insisted that the game be
played for all its worth.
He was quickly backed by
others of the team, and it was
generally agreed that for the
last two years the game has been
fairly good as baseball games
60. In fact. some plays bordered
on the brilliant.
But suppose we let the idea
get out that we're going to relax
this year and gag it up a bit, "
said another member. "That way
we might slip fast one over
on the Republicans"
Careful" warned another
There's a Reporter from The
Star here"
That's all right" Manager
Herlong assured them. Hell
keep all this in confidence"
So the word is out officially.
The Democrats intend to give
their all to run their string of
victories up to eight.
One slight problem has arisen.
It seems that there is a great
deal of difficulty about finding
a baseball suit Of the right size
to fit Representative Tumulty
the wide shortstop who has only
lost two or three of the $50
pounds Manager Herlong wants
him to shed between now and
June Z. Mr.. Tumulty can hit
the ball a mile. but he can't run.
1t will be necessary for some
one to run the bases for him.
Must Make First
Under the liberal unlimited
substitution rules Of the game
that is permissible, but Co.
manager Davis of the Republi-
can team insisted that the rules
are not liberal enough to permit
the substitute runner to start
from the plate. "Tumulty or no
Tumulty." he warned, he'll have
to make 1t to first base on his
own"
A substantial bloc Of tickets
for the game has been taken
by the Young Democrats who
will sit behind the Democratic
dugout and serve as a cheering
squad. They were very noisily
evident last year.
Tickets may be had from
members of the Congressional
Secretaries Club, from the busi-
ness counter in the lobby Of The

to Room 720 of The Star Build
