the present system.
The Hoover Commission also
has proposed that some sort of
"a wage-board system be worked
out for Federal employees. The
pay of Government per diem
tblue collart workers now is set
by wage boards but the pay for
classified and postal workers is
determined by Congress.
Just before Congress ad-
journed this year, a bill was
sponsored by Representative
Gubser. Republican of Califor-
mia. providing for a central wage
board in Government to AK the
salaries Of Federal employees.
While it wasn't officially the adj
ministration's bill, Mr.. Gubser.
"a member Of the House Civil
Service Committee, Is close to
the administration on civil serv.
ice matters and the measure
undoubtedly reflected some of
the thinking in Republican
circles.
A change to a wage board
setup would have to be APP
proved by Congress. And Fed
eral employe unions are strongly
to having classified and
postal pay regulated by wage
boards. They feel that the re-
suit would be lower salaries for
classified and postal workers.
Any wage board system would
fix Federal salaries on prevail
ing rates paid employees in COM
parable jobs in private industry
in the particular locale. While
this has worked out well for per
diem workers. employee leaders
say it would play havoc with
classified and postal salaries.
The reason is that blue collar
workers in industry are generally
well organized and consequently
their pay is high compared to
white-collar salaries. Federal
employee leaders are fearful that

However, employee leaders are

Furthermore, Congress has al.

CASES-The Controller General
has ruled that veterans in Gov

Both veterans and non-veterans

for the time lost from work. The
question, however, was raised
whether non-veterans with less
