Early Drive Set
For New Rise
In Federal Pay
Johnston Calls Boost
Of "a Not Enough,
Cites Industry Coins
By JOSEPH YOUNG

Chairman Johnston of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
said today his group will give
early consideration next year to
new round of pay raises for
Government classified and postal
workers.
In an address before the
biennial convention of the ALL
CIO American Federation of
Government Employees in the
willard Hotel. Senator johnson
said the rs per cent classified
and 8.6 per cent postal pay raise
voted by Congress in 1854 was
not enough to enable employees to
maintain a decent living stand
ard for themselves and their
families"
Senator Johnston remarked,
"It's becoming pretty clear that
Federal employees are becoming
the forgotten men and women
in this country as far as ade-
quate pay is concerned. There
have been round after round of
substantial pay raises in private
industry since 1854, and there
is no reason why Federal wages
shouldn't be adjusted accord
ingly."
Advisory Group Named
The South Carolinian said he
is appointing special advisory
council to the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee to make an i'm
mediate study of the Federal pay
situation and to make suitable
recommendations when Congress
convenes in January. He said
key Government employe union
officials will be among the men,
bers, including James A. Camp
bell, AFGE president.
Senator Johnston expressed
hope that the forthcoming 85th
Congress also win approve legis-
lation providing health insurance
benefits for Federal workers and
their families. official collective
bargaining rights for Federal
employe unions, a promotion
system based on merit. greater
job security for employees, and a
"fair and nonpolitical loyalty
program which will protect the
Nation against subversion and
the employees against un-Amer-
ican treatment"
Merger Proposed
Meanwhile. the AFGE dele
gates voted unanimously to ask
the independent National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees to
approve a merger of the two
organizations.
The merger proposal was a re-
newal of the one made in 1854
to the NFFE. At that time,
Luther Steward. then president
of the NFFE, turned down the
offer.
There is no reason to believe
the NFFE will change its views
when it holds its biennial con-
vention the week of September
8 in Louisville. However, AFGE
officials declare they are hopeful
the NFFE, under its new leader
ship, will at least give the matter
it's consideration and eventually
pave the way for merger talks
The AFGE banquet at 7:3u
o'clock tonight in the Willard
Hotel will be addressed by Sec
retary of Army Wilbur Brucker
and Representative Rhodes,
Democrat of California.

PerilOus Ride
Up the stream ways lived Charles
LaBreche who was the only soul cou-

perilous ride from st. Louis to Fort
Benton up the Missouri in a rowboat
in 1858. While living on the Dearborn
he built the first sluice boxes ever made
in the state.
LaBreche had taken and kept an In
dian wife, and the union produced many
offspring. Mrs. LaBreche gave birth to
the first set of twins born on the Dear

Trappers Move to Town
The woods were full of trappers and
traders, Frenchmen who had come
down from the Red River in Canada.
They were rugged and tough; fast talk
ers who lived by their wits. But many
wanted to live to tell their grandchil-
dren of their experiences, so they left
their wanderlust in the hills and came
down to go into business or stockraising.
These trappers had to be friendly with
the Indians, and most Of them had lived
with the tribes from time to time, dry
ing buffalo meat and hides and selling
them to white settlers. When the trap
pers decided to become civilized, many
forgot to bring their squaws and chill
dren with them, situation that in
creased the ill-will that already existed
between the Indians and settlers.
