Ineptness Blamed
Congressional leaders blamed
the Administrators ''ineptness''
for the failure of the executive
pay bill to win final enactment
this year.
In the first place. the admin
istration waited until the final
days Of this years session be-
fore sending UP its proposal for
increasing executive pay and
raising the $14.800 a year CLASH
fled employe pay ceiling.
AS a result, the Senate Civil
Service Committee had no time
to hold hearings on the measure.
The group approved the bill. but
1T was stymied on the Senate
floor when many Senators de-
manded that hearings be held
before the measure was approved
Congressional leaders said the
proposals on executive pay should
have been submitted about the

measure was before Congress

The end result was that the Sen

should be deferred until next

Regarding the bill to give
Federal classified employees per-
manent protection against sal

down-graded, the Senate Civil
Service Committee did not have
time In the final days to hold
hearings. And many Senator:

Temporary protection against
salary cuts In cases of down.
grading does not apply to per
diem workers.
Thomas G. Walters, operations
director of the ALL Government
Employees Council, recently wrote
Ito csc Chairman Philip Young
and asked that this temporary
protection for classified workers
be given to per diem workers as
well. However, MIR. Young replied
the csc does not have the au-
thority to give this temporary
protection to per diem employees.
The agencies employing per diem
workers. however, have the dis
erection to prevent cut In an
Iemploye's salary when the job
lis downgraded.
Commission regulations give
classified employees a minimum
protection Of 26 weeks against
any salary cut when their jobs
are down-graded. and this pro-
lection can extend for several
years, depending on an employees
length of service In the job. The
idea of the new program is that.
in the interim, the agency again
can place the employee in a job
| in the same salary range from
which he had been denoted.
The House-approved bill which
was not acted on by the Senate,
would give permanent protec-
ltion to employees against salary
lcuts in down-gradings.

3 Babies Put on Welfare Care
To Escape Sordid Home Life

Three children, ages 2 and 8,
were recommitted to the care of

after their parents drew a pic
ture of q home life dominated by

The parents. who are in their
middle 30s, appeared before

the disposition of the three chill
dren. The youngsters have been
in Welfare custody at st. Annes
Infant Asylum since last April.
The father is an admitted
alcoholic. He is on probation for
non-support and still is behind
