President Gives
Jones interim
Post on IVA
BY a star stan Correspondent

NEWPORT. r. l.. Sept. TO-
President Eisenhower today
gave Arnold r. Jones q recess
appointment as q member Of
the Tennessee Valley Authority
board Of directors.
At the same time, the Presi-
dent appointed Maurice H.
STAINS. now Deputy Postmaster
General. to succeed Mr.. Jones
as Deputy Director of the
Budget Bureau.
Mr.. Jones nomination to the
iva board stirred considerable
controversy during the past
session of Congress. The Sem
ate Public Works Committee
refused to clear the nomination
for Senate action before Con-
gress adjourned.
Critics Of the appointment
contended that Mr.. Jones
background in the Budget Blu
reau and his home State OF
Kansas indicated that he was
not friendly to the IVA.
Before entering the Budget
Bureau in 1856. Mr.. Jones was
dean Of financial administra-
ton at Kansas State College
and had served for q time as
director Of the Division of'Ad-
miniStration in the Kansas
Governors ONCE.
His recess appointment--Sub-
ject to Senate confirmation
after Congress meets again next
January-leaves one vacancy
on the three-man iva board.
Announcement of another
appointment to fill out the
board is expected at the Presi-
dents vacation headquarters
here within the next few days.
Mr.. STAINS. new deputy Budget
Bureau director, has been dep
uty postmaster general since
1855. Before that, he headed
a stove manufacturing firm in
Joliet. III. At one time he was
q certified public accountant.

increase in living costs between
the last Federal pay raise in
March, 1855. and the time next
year when Congress votes on a
new Government salary in
crease.
Right now living costs have
gone up about 81 per cent since
March, 1855. BY January or
February of next year the
figure may have risen to Z or
8 per cent.
Thus an 8 per cent pay raise
for Federal classified and postal
workers probably is q pretty
good conjecture at this point.
Incidentally. this is close to
the rs per cent amount of the
classified employe pay-raise bill
approved this year by the SEN
ate Civil Service Committee,
And it is the classified pay bill
that its sponsor. Senator Neu-
berger, Democrat of Oregon,
says he will seek Senate action
as soon as Congress recon-
venes in January.
REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
There are several reasons for
the view that Federal classified
and postal employe pay-raise
bills are inevitable next year.
First. Congress by its over
whelming vote Of approval Of
Federal pay-raise legislation
this year showed it will be
ready to again approve pay in
creases next year. And Con-
gress is expected to approve
pay raises early enough to
have sufhcient time to vote to
override.
Even should President Eisen-
hover veto the bills again (as
he did early in 1855, after hav-
ing pocket vetoed pay bills in
1850, Congress undoubtedly
would force q showdown by
either overriding the veto or
approving new pay legislation
that would be acceptable to
the President.
Secondly, President Eisen-
hover in his pocket veto
statement last Saturday gave
strong indication that the adj
ministration next year will
abandon is outright opposition
to any Federal pay raise and
recommend some kind Of q
salary increase to Congress.
The President stated that a
study Of the Federal salary
situation is now underway by
a subcabinet committee and
that If it showed pay increases
were necessary, salary increase
recommendations would ac-
cordingly be made to Capitol
Hill next year.
That the study will show that
Federal pay raises are neces-
sary Is a certainty The Cow
efnment's salary scales are less
than industry in many occupa-
lions. with the result that the
Federal service is losing many
Of its ablest employees. Many
Federal personnel officials are
convinced that many more will
be lost If q pay raise is not
/ forthcoming next year.
As a matter Of fact. every
pay study submitted during the
past year shows that salary in
creases are necessary. The
White House chose to ignore
all these findings and proposals
for pay raises (the Cordiner
committees report. the So
called Young committee on
scientific and engineering SAL
aries. etc., but it is now in
a position where 1t can't fur
ther ignore the salary situa-
ton. That's why the SUBJ
cabinet study on pay has been
ordered.
PRESIDENT CRITICIZED
Meanwhile, President Eisen-
hover has been sharply criti-
cized for his action in pocket
vetoing the pay raise bills.
