the principle Of flexibility in

be thought to conflict with the
principle Of equal pay for equal

Classification Act was designed

Young said. II see no real con-
flict here. Rather, I see a need
to recognize the fact that under
present-day conditions equal

not only Of the assigned duties
of job but also in terms of the

Mr.. Young disclosed that the

improve the Governments pro-

unveil its plan to agency per-

Iploye union officials. Mr.. Young
said the commissions program

The commission chief also
said the administration would

the Governments per diem
(blue collar) workers, Mr.. Young
noted. The pay Of per diem
workers is set by agency wage
boards without any action by
Congress.
under all other systems, any
change requires specific action
by Congress-" Mr.. Young added.
THE unwieldiness Of this proc
ess is well known to you in the
AFGE who have experienced its
delays and Illustrations many
times. but that is not its only
fault.
Equally detrimental to EN-
Gent administration is the fact
that the process is purely a
political process. All the con-
flicting political pressures that
are brought to bear on it be-
come the primary considerations,
while the actual needs Of the
service and the economic factors
are relegated to the background. .
Mr.. Young once again ex-
pressed the view that q modified
form Of the pay system for the
Governments per diem workers
might be used for Federal CLASH
ed and postal workers.
Sees Saving In Time
ut would be idle to contem.
plate the abandonment by the
Congress Of all legislative con-

Yonng said. 1T is a proper
responsibility Of the peoples
elected representatives to hold

seems to me that Congress could
exercise that responsibility with
out having to spend SO much
of its time in legislating the

which could be properly
considered the responsibility Of

advanced plans for the apart
Iment building.
"And that certainly would
mean, a delay"
The big apartment would be
located between Third. Fourth,
H and I streets S.W.
Under an agreement with the
District Redevelopment Land
Agency, Scheuer-Stevens has
promised to apply to FILA for the
apartment mortgage guarantee
by next Thursday.
Mixup Explained
This is the way officials Of the
development firm said the new
problem suddenly came about:
In 1854. Congress enacted a
special provision to stimulate
elevator apartment construction
in redevelopfnent areas. It set
liberal FILA mortgage guarantee
amounts for such apartments.
which would limit the amount
of cash developers would have
to put up. In addition, it pro-
vided that In s'high-cost" con-
sttuetiot1 areas like Washing
ton and New York-the FILA
mortgage guarantees could be
increased $1,000 per room.
Last year. Congress "liberal-
lied" this provision, extending
the special "high-cost" mortgage
guarantee benefits to smaller
apartments than the big elevator
structures.
In doing so. however. the Ian
guage Of the whole provision was
changed. FILA. Mr.. Keith said,
has interpreted the change to
mean that the additional $1,000
amounts can be applied only to
each apartment unit in the
Washington project, rather than
to each room in the building.
Since there are 1000 rooms,
but only 400 apartment units,
in the building, the mortgage
guarantee would be reduced by
about 100000 from the amount
authorized before the law was
changed. This would mean the
private developers would have to
provide about 100000 more
than they had planned In cold
cash, Mr.. Keith said.
heuer- Stevens officials
argue that Congress only intent
in changing the legislation was
to extend the special benefits,
and not to impose new restric-
tons on the elevator apartment
buildings.
They said FILA Commissioner
Norman Mason agreed last No.
vember that this was the case
and told them that they could
figure on the $1,000 mortgage
benefit applying to each room in
the apartment house.
In. addition, they said, FILA
has issued a number of mort
gage guarantees for apartments
similar to the one proposed here
in which the $1,000 benefit;
were applied to each of the
rooms in the structures.
Last week. however. they said
they were told by FILA attor-
neys that the additional $1,000
benefits could apply only to each
apartment unit as the legisla.
Ition now Is written.

million increase in the author
lied cost Of the replacement of
the twin Fourteenth Street

Works Committee approved a
bill. sponsored by Senator
Chavez. Democrat Of New Mex
leo, chairman of the Public
Works Committee. to increase
the authorized cost Of the new

The determination of the
younger and more aggressive
Democrats from outside the
South to assert themselves
against their Southern lead
ership has appeared in con-

find indistinguishable from
the Eisenhower brand. Sena-
tor Johnson has begun the
new endeavor with repeated
assurances of non-partisan-
ship and an agenda that the
senior Republican, Senator
Styles Bridges of New Hamp-
shire. publicly approves.
