II, employees in this category who
were dneied the right to use all
of their yearly leve feel tina they
wer eunfairly treated.
The American Federation Of
Government Employees is asking
its members to prepare a test
case for the Controller General.
While the AFGE comedies that
the present law gives agency
heads the right to determine an
employees use of annual leave. 1t
contends that the employe who
is denied the right to use his
leave should be permitted to
carry over that unused portion.
If the Controller Generals de-
cision is unfavorable. the AFGE
then will seek corrective legisla-
ton from Congress next year to
plug this loophole.
PAY-There will be no further
action on Federal pay raise legis-
lation until after the House re-
turns from its Easter recess on
April IA. The situation is this:
The postal employe unions in
sist on at least an SO per cent
raise, while the administration
will not bulge from its stand
that any postal increase Of more
than 7.6 per cent or any classi-
fed pay boost in excess of 6 per
cent will be vetoed by the Presi-
dent. Any further action on
classified pay will have to await
the outcome Of the postal pay
fight.
There's no doubt that the
House will approve the go per
cent average bill advocated by
the postal employe unions If the
unions insist. The question is
whether there will be enough
votes in Congress to override a
veto. Postal emptoye union lead
ers say this could be done. Ad-
ministration officials express con-
f1dence that a veto cannot be
overriden.
FREE BONDS-A House Civil
Service subcommittee headed by
Representative Davis, Democrat.
OF Georgia, this week is expected
to approve a bill that would pro-
vide surety bonds without charge
to postal workers. The employees
presently have to pay for their
own bonds. AS for other Fed
eral employees who have to pur-
chase surety bonds in connection
with their work. the House Civil
Service Committee does not have
jurisdiction over them in this
matter. That is the province
Of the House Government OPP
erations Committee, where en-
ploye leaders are hoping that
hearings will take place soon on
similar legislation involving
these employees.
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT.
Representative Skies, Democrat,
of Florida has sponsored a bill
(HR-5115} to modify the De-

contractors. The bill would
prohibit defense agencies to use
contracts or executive orders to
dispose Of work accomplished
traditionally by civilians, unless
an impartial board concurs that
the farm out" is economically
sound and can be done by a con-
tractor without danger to ma
tional security.
The bill is aimed at ending a
situation which has Government
employe leaders worried. They
