The substantial pay increases
for letter carrier officials empha-
sizes that Government unionism
is a big-time operation and that
attractive salaries are needed to
retain and attract the best pos
sible men for the top jobs.
1t wouldn't be surprising to see
other Federal employe unions
follow the example of the letter
carriers in the ot-to-distant
future and raise the pay of their
officials also.

AFGE-The biennial conven-
ton of the American Fedora
tion of Government Employees
has adopted an ambitious and
widespread legislative program
for Federal workers which will
be presented to the 85th Congress
when it convenes in January.
AS AFGE delegates were on
their way home today. following
the close of the four-day meet
ing in the Willard Hotel, AFGE
officials expressed confidence
that most of the goals can ne
achieved. But they stressed that
hard work and the active CO.
operation of all Federal workers
lis needed.
The most dramatic highlight
of the convention occurred yes
terday when James A. Campbell
was reelected president for all
other two-year term. after cne
Iof the closest and hard-fought
election battles in the Ages
history. Mr.. Campbell polled
PATH votes to 20,059 cast for
Stanley j. Tracy, former assist
ant FBI director and now asso-
|ciate counsel of the Bipartisan
Commission on Government
Security.
The lead see-sawed back and
forth a number of times before
Mr.. Campbell, AFGE president
since 1851, pulled ahead in the
battle.
Following the vote. Mr.. Tracy
appeared on the rostrum and
urged AFGE members every
where to close ranks and sup
port MIR. Campbell and the union
during the next two years.
Here are the highlightS of
Ages legislative goals during
the 85th Congress:
l. An average 5000 a year pay
raise for Federal classified en-
ployes.
2. A S5-hour Federal work.

3. A combined basic and major
medical health insurance pro-
gram for Government workers.

Alexandra Keeps
Same Sewage Rate

No change in sewage disposal
charges is planned in connection
with possible water rate in
creaseS. a spokesman for the
Alexandria Sanitation Authority
said today.
Albert A. Smoot, chairman of
the authority, said publicity
about a possible water rate hike
has produced many inquiries
concerning the sewage charges.
Though the present charge for
sewage disposal is set at so per
cent of the water bills. the two
are separate items, he explained.
1.-THE authority has no plans
at this time for either increas-
ing or decreasing the sewage
disposal charges" Mr.. Smoot
said. He added that increased
water rates would mean the
percentage of the total bill going
toward sewage disposal charges
would drop, but the amount
assessed for this purpose would
unchanged.

Mrs. Una Franklin Carter,
president of the Alexandria AS
sociation. said the persons in
lterested in saving historic build
Iings did not know about the
architectural boards action on
the Lyceum until week after
the request for a demolition per-
NIT had been heard. She also said
that her organization heard
about a hearing for a request to
Idemolish the Lloyd House only
two days before the hearing date
several months ago.
Lloyd House Saved
The Lloyd House subsequently
was saved by q man from the
West who put up funds to buy
the building to prevent it's de-
struction. Owners of the Lyceum
have been authorized to obtain
la demolition permit anytime
after today.
Mrs. Carter said the Alex
andria Association, the Historic
Alexandria Foundation and the
Old Town Civic Association have
requested three, steps in
strengthening laws regulating
historic buildings:
/. Re-enactment Of the
Charleston Ordinance which
regulates new buildings and
demolition of old buildings in
the Old Town section of the
city.
2. A requirement for public
notice and public hearings on all
applications before the Archi-
tectural Board Of Review on re-
quests for demolition Of build
ings or construction Of new ones.
3. A requirement for an ap-
peal from a decision from the
Board Of Architectural Review
on demolition permits.
1t has been reported that the
board never has failed to grant
"a demolition permit because
members feel it might force a
court test of the constitutional
ity of the Charleston Ordinance.
They say If the ordinance were
declared unconstitutional the
board might be dissolved and
no longer could control new
construction.
The Charleston Ordinance.
patterned after an ordinance in
effect in Charleston, was passed
by the City Council in 1916 to
preserve the historic atmo-
sphere of Alexandria.

poses number of problems for
the county manager and his
staff.
One is just what the County
can expect the General Assem-
bly, to do on the teachers salary
issue-a major expense in the
county budget.
Advanced A Month
A big drive is underway to IN
crease the states share in the
cost of education. doing this
primarily by appropriating
some $l1 million next year for
increased teachers pay.
Although the actual budget
adoption date will come after
the end of the session, Mr..
Reese's recommendations will be
due nearly a month ahead of the
sessions adjournment.
The new budget schedule also
may be creating problems for
residents intent on preserving
their quiet suburban neighbour
hoods.
Public Hearings Set
In the past, coming applica-
tons fled in January-one of
two filing months during the
year-have been set for public
hearings in March.
This has given citizens associa-
tons time to prepare their OPP

Now. however, the associa-
tons may have to speed up their
preparations if the council
is going to try to get the hear
ings out of the way before work
on the budget begins.
And the associations them
selves will be swamped by studies
not only Of coming questions af-
fecting them but by their con-
sideration of budget proposals.
