sented to Congress today by
Senator Neuberger, Democrat of
Oregon, as he sponsored legisla-
ton to increase the annuities of
retired Federal workers and the
survivors of deceased Federal
retirees.
Senator Neuberger said the
heavy toll of imitation" is MAX
ing it impossible for retirees and
their wives to maintain the most
elementary minimum standards
of living.
The Oregonian's bill would in
crease by Is to 80 per cent the
annuitieS Of retired Federal
workers now drawing annuities
of less than $500 a year, and
boost by 10 per cent the pensions
of retirees whose annuities now
are in excess of $500 a year.
The same increase would apply
to survivors.
PRESIDENTS MODEST PRO-
GRAM-A very modest legisla-
tive program for Federal en-
ployes has been proposed to Con-
gress by President Eisenhower
in his fiscal 1858 budget message,
The message contained no sur
prises as far as Federal employees
are concerned. AS this column
predicted last week. the Presi-
dent did not propose any pay
raises for classified or postal
employees.
MI. Eisenhower renewed his
request made last year that a
Federal employee health and
medical insurance program be
enacted (the President did not
specify whether it should be the
major" type proposed last year
or a combination major basic
coverage). The President also
called for outside training au-
thority for Federal agencies
w h ereby promising employees
could be trained at universities,
industrial plants and labora-
tories, etc.
Mr.. Eisenhower also asked au-
|thority to set up a system OF
presidential awards for out
standing civilian service for en-
Iployes.
And the President promised to
continue the program of air.

Patent Office, today was to give
q pros gess report to about $50
attorneys of the American Pat
emit Law Association in the Stat
Ter Hotel.
. Device Sought Since '46
n Since 1916. the Government
has been looking for a device
to tighten backlog pressure of
patent applications. The corps
Of examiners was increased from
700 to 1000 during the last two
years. but the steadily increas-
Ing number of applications
reached $4,000 in 1856. Each APP
plication must be checked
against duplication. The office
last year issued over 10000 pat
entS.
The wait now for applicants
is as long as a year and a half,
simply because the examiners
hands cannot fly any faster.
A converted Census Bureau
sinacl Iine used experimentally by
the off1ce can NOV through a
pile Of punch cards to find a
particular patent at a fraction
of the time it takes an examiner.
Some procedures in the search
take one minute on the machine
and four to six hours by hand,
Mr.. Andrews estimated.
Better Machine Underway
An even better machine is
under construction and soon will
be used in the experimental Sec
ton where patents for chemical
compounds called steriods are
filed. They were selected because
they are very active" these days
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-17

Eisenhower himself referred to
the scanty legislative proposals
for Federal workers. declaring:
AT the present time. do not
contemplate proposing an ex-
tensive program of personnel leg
islation comparable to the num-
erous constructive measures en-
acted in the last several years. ("
The President did mention the
special salary study being made
OF Defense Department civilian
scientific, engineering and pro-
fessional jobs by Cordiner COM
mittee and said that any legisla-
tive proposals based on the study
would have to await completion
Of the study.
EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
BRIGHTON the other hand,
President Eisenhower's Federal
employment request in his budget
message would result in no lay
offs of Government employees
during the 1858 fiscal year start
ing July /.
Actually, the Presidents bud
get request would result in an
additional 5000 jobs.
ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE
The Defense Department - the
Governments largest employer
would reduce its civilian staff by
nearly $500, which means that
the non-defense bureaus would
increase their stats by nearly
10000 jobs.
Actually the Defense Depart
ment reduction would be negligi-
BILE and could easily be achieved
by limited attrition-not filling
comparatively few of the many
personnel vacancies that occur
each year. The numbey of jobs in
defense agencies in the Wash
ington area would remain vir-
tually the same.
President Eisenhower's budget
message proposed that Army's
$4,000. civilian employees be in
creased to $4,000 during the
1858 fiscal year; the Nays 402,-
900 civilian staff be decreased to
100000; and the Air Forces
$780, 500 civilian work force be
decreased to 335.250. The Office
of the Secretary Of Defense's
i1.728 employees would remain vir-
tually the same-1,726.
+ 4 4
OTHER AGENCIES-The esti-
mated 10000 increase in nom
defense agencies Jobs would
occur in the Post Office Depart
ment. Interior. Commerce and
Health, Education and Welfare
Departments. the General Serv-
ices Administration, the Ma
tional Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics, the United States
Information Agency and others.
| However, the estimated job in
crease may, be kept down some
what as a result of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's statement in his budget
message that every effort will be
made to limit the size of the
proposed expansion.
1T is important to hold to
a minimum any increase in
Government personnel in the
coming period" Mr.. Eisenhower
said. Il have directed the heads
of the Federal agencies to give
renewed emphasis to their efforts
In this regard. =.
/ Vacant positions are to be
filled by new employment only
/ if careful review by each agency
has demonstrated that the posi-
tons cannot be abolished or
filled by transfer. All proposals
which might produce higher
Federal payrolls in the future
will be critically examined and
evaluated."

The offic ealso has expert

tronic computer (SEAC) at the
Bureau of Standards. The big
apparatus is fe decided informa-
ito nby tape and then is ready
to search its memory for answers
to questions put to it by the
patent examiner.
The Office. however, is looking
for a machine with somewhat
coarser scanning abilities" Mr..
Andrews commented. A SEAC
costs over 81 million. A punch
card ty epof machine would run
around a more reasonable
$40. 900.

And don't forget that smallpox vaccination will not
