India PIun Seeks
3 Million New Jobs

NEW DELHI. India, May 16
iP1.-The government of India
presented to Parliament yester-
day the final draft of its second
Ifive-year development plan. 1t
lis aimed at increasing the ma
tional income by IS per cent and
creating 8 million or more new
Jobs in industry and agriculture.
The plan in its final form will
cost more than SIS billion. 1t
differs from previous drafts in
two major sectors:
l. Private industry investment
has been increased from the
equivalent of $4.830.0O0.000 to
SIS, Gao 900, 900.
2. The plan now refers to for
Ieign resources" instead of for
Ieign assistance" indicating the
government plans to seek foreign
loans instead of depending on
foreign governmental grants. , II
adds that all possible avenues
for securing financial resources
abroad must be explored.
Both these changes appear to
be concessions to critics of the
original plan. Overall cost now
is pegged at the rupee equivalent
lof $15,l2O.000, 900.

UNION RECOGNITION-More
than 1000 Federal employee union
leaders from all over the country
damned the Senate Caucus Room
yesterday and spilled into the
corridors as the Senate Civil
Service Committee started hear
ings on the union recognition
bill Members. of the committee
couldn't help but be impressed
by the huge turnout and the
great interest displayed.
|. The employee leaders made the
following points:
/. While some agency officials
are willing to discuss personnel
matters and grievances with
them, others do not and take an
Iautocratic attitude toward en-
Iploye groups.
2. Often vital personnel policies
ARE promulgated by the agencies
without even consultation with
Iemploye groups.
8. The Post Office Depart
ment as we'll as some other Fed
eral agencies are adopting poll
cieS which have resulted in adj
verse working conditions and dis
rupted employee morale.
| 4. The Government should be
required to give its employees the
same rights in collective nego-
tiations that it requires industry
to give to industry workers.
| S. Federal employee unions are
not asking for the right to strike,
nor some of the collective bar
gaining rights that are given
private industry workers. ALI
the employee unions want is the
right to discuss personnel poll
cies and grievances with the
agencies and to have disputes
settled by impartial arbitration
boards in each agency. The
board would be composed of three
members each-one selected by
management. one by the en-
ploye group and the third by the
Secretary of Labor.
! 6. The legislation would i'm
measurably improve employee
morale and thus increase Gov
ernment efficiency and service
to the American public.

Order 10 Set Up
Senior Corps in
Civil Service

An executive order is being
prepared to establish modified
senior civil service system in
Government. Civil Service Com
mission Chairman Philip Young
said today.
Addressing the opening session
of the Society for Personnel
Administrations annual con-
ference at the Hotel Statler, Mr..
Young said the order would
carry out some Of the proposals
of the Hoover Commission re-
garding a senior civil service
corps.
Mr.. Young said certain fea-
lures of the Hoover plan would
require legislation by Congress.
Meanwhile. he said, certain
aspects of the senior civil service
system can and will be put into
effect by executive order.
To Set Standards
The forthcoming order will
establish a civil service develop
ment committee to promulgate
standards for the selection Of
top career employees for the
senior civil service, Mr.. Young
said.
Those selected will receive
presidential commissions and will
be assigned to various jobs in the
Government where their talents
are most needed. There will be
"flexibility" in assignments and
extensive executive development
opportunities for members of
this group" Mr.. Young said.
Up to $4,000
The Hoover groups proposal
would pay these officials salaries
of up to $4,000 a year and pro-
vide for special training programs
and extra retirement and COM
IpenSation benefits for those Sc
Ilected. Such features would re-
Iquire legislation.
Mr.. Young also told the SPA

Therefore. any undue Senate de-

BUILDING
Is Sought for
Claims Court

A bill which would provide for
construction of a new Court OF
Claims Building and restore the
present venerable structure to
its original role as a municipal
art gallery was introduced in the
House yesterday.
Representative Thompson
Democrat of New Jersey, moved
by the prospect of razing the old
Renaissance-type structure at
Seventeenth stree tand Pennsyl-
vania avenue, put the proposal
in motion.
The present building would be
given to the city. with its ad-
ministration and maintenance
under control of the Commits
sionerS.
1t was built by banker William
w. Corcoran and given to the
city as an art gallery in the
middle of the last century. Fol
years it was a cultural center
but when it became apparent thai
the Court of Claims quarters in
the Capitol would be inadequate
to meet growing needs. the court
occupied the Corcoran structure
The Government bought it fol
100000.
There are two other bills in
the Senate and House calling fol-
construction of a new court
building.
