BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The year 1858 shapes up as
a banner one for Government
employees in the way of greater
benefits.
From all indications it will
be the greatest year in a long
time as far as added gains for
Federal workers are concerned.
Heading the list will be pay
raises for classified and postal
workers. And there is a good
chance that these pay raises
will be made retroactive to
make up for the presidential
veto of the salary increase bills
passed this year by Congress.
That Federal classified and
postal employees will receive pay
raises next year is regarded as
certain. President Eisenhower's
statement last week that
Federal pay raises are "neces-
sary." coupled with the over
whelming sentiment in Con-
gress for salary increases,
means that Government work.
ers are assured Of pay raises
next year.
Pensions and Health, Too
1t also appears more than
likely that the Governments
retired employees will be taken
care of in the way of annuity
increases in 1858.
A good chance exists for en-
actment of major health and
medical insurance benefits for
Federal employees and their
families. This legislation is in
dorsed by the administration.
Due to become law next year
is a bill that will put more
money in the pockets of the
Governments per diem Qblue
collar) workers.
The measure would make fu-
ture pay raises for these blue
collars retroactive to 80 work.
ing days after the start of a
wage survey, At the present
time these workers frequently
have to wait from six to eight
months from the time a wage
survey is ordered until the pay
increase is finally approved by
the head of a department, be-
fore the increases go into effect.
Diamond Jubilee
Also likely to be enacted next
year are bills to provide outside
training opportunities for Gov
eminent workers, more top jobs
at salaries of $4,000 to SIG. 900
a year and liberalized life in
surance benefits.
Viewing all these prospects,
it is a happy coincidence that
1858 is the diamond jubilee
civil service year. And nothing
will do more to strengthen the
merit system than improving
the benefits of Government
employees so as to attract and

the first step toward such an
agreement.
Yugoslav, Spanish and Rus
sian delegates were expected to
speak today in the committee
debate. An official of the 81
nation group said it probably
would vote late today or tomor-
row on the rival resolutions be-
fore it. A resolution requires
only a simple majority for COM
mittee approval. but must get a
two-thirds vote in the As
sembly.
There was general agreement
to vote first on a Belgian reso-
luton for worldwide cam
paign to publicize the devastat-
ing effects of modern weapons
and the need for adequate con-
troll as part of disarmament. Il
French delegate Jules Moch
served notice he then would
move to have the committee
vote on the 24-nation Western
backed disarmament resolution
before any of the other pro-
posals at hand.
Latin-American Amendment
However, Bolivia, Costa Rica,
Ell Salvador and Uruguay have
submitted an amendment to
the Western resolution calling
on the big powers to consider
devoting any savings from dis
armament to improving world
living conditions, especially in
less developed countries.
Indian Defense Minister V.
K. Krishna Menon has turned
in other amendments to bring
the Western resolution into line
with India'S desire for an i'm
mediate ban on nuclear tests.
Committee rules call for a
vote on the amendments before
the original resolution.
Mr.. Moch told reporter the
Western sponsors had not yet
decided whether to accept the
Latin American amendment.
He said the Indian amend
ments are unacceptable.

would ask the U. MS dead

mittee to reconvene "as soon

|Penfagon Cuts
1886 From
Civilian Rolls
BY the Associated Press

A reduction Of 23.876 Defense
Department employees dropped
Federal employment in Sep
TENDER to the lowest point
since April, 1856, Senator Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia, said to-
day.
No breakdown was given Of
the job cuts made by the De-
Tense Department, which is
striving to keep within a $38
billion spending ceiling, but
Senator Byrd in a statement
said the department had adj
vised him that:
"To the maximum extent
possible the reduction was
achieved by not filling vacan-
cies, consolidation of positions
and close-out of selected ia
cilities.
1.-THE reductions have been
made in those areas that are
considered least critical and
largely among the less tech
nically skilled employees"
Senator Byrd. chairman of
the Senate House Committee
on Reduction of Nom Essential
Federal Expenditures, said the
reduction was split a m
equally between industrial and
white-collar employees of the
department.
The committees monthly re-
port on civilian employment by
Federal executive agencies
showed an overall reduction for
September, compared to the
previous month, of 1884.
Senator Byrd said this de-
crease, reducing the number Of
civilian employees to 1896, 1898,
was the largest for any month
since June, 1850. In August
the number Of employees had
dropped 1859. July had shown
an increase of 6,337.
The Army accounted for s.
794, the Navy for 1856, and the
Air Force for 6,725 of the De-
tense Department reduction.
The number of employees in
civilian agencies declined by
9,808. The largest decrease was
reported by the Department of
Agriculture, 5.064. followed by
the Department of the Interior,
3,741. Senator Byrd said the
reductions in these two de-
partments were largely sea-
Sonal."
Federal employment in the
Washington area and other dis
tricts was not given.

AGENCY OPPOSITION -
The Civil Service Commissions
proposed order that would re-
quire Federal agencies to set
up a promotion program based
on merit principles is running
into agency opposition.
Officials of various agencies
declare that the CSC's order
would hamper them admins
tratively and slow down the
process of filling essential va
cancies. Some also say their
agencies already have salts
factory promotion programs.
Others shrug the CSC's pro-
gram off as meaningless and
couched in harmless platitudes
instead of real promotion
standards with teeth in them"
The reaction of agency Off
1cials is not surprising. ..Agen-
cies naturally want as little in
reference as possible in their
personnel operations. But the
csc is not likely to be deferred
from issuing its order. There
have been too many COM
plants Of the awarding of pro-
motions in Government on the
basis of personal or political
patronage rather than on
merit.
OF course, whether a csc
directive can do the trick re-
mains to be seen. Some en-
ploye leaders feel that only leg
islation setting up independent
merit promotion boards in
agencies and that would pro-
vide penalties and enforcement
power for the csc can result
in real merit promotion pro-
grams.
