Works Leaders
Renew Issue Of
Federal Costs
Would Seek 'Enir
Formula as Busis
For U. 5. Payments
BY JAMES G. DEANE

A major onslaught on thu
long-smoldering issue of thu
Federal Governments share ir
Washington expenses may be
tied to the shaping of a new
District public works plan.
Key figures in a new commit
tee charged with devising a new
works program said yesterday
they regard an increased Fed
eral payment as basic.
Leaders said not only that
more Federal help is essential,
but that it should be put on a
firmer basis. At present, the
Federal share fluctuateS accord
ing to the whim of Congress.
There is an urgent need. accord
ing to those charged with the
new planning task, to persuade
Congress to make firm. as well
as more generous commitment.
The District Commissioners on
Friday appointed a 15-member
committee for the works-plan-
ing assignment. Richard P.
Dunn, president of Julius Gar
finckel & Co., was named chair
man.
Given Double ChOre
The committee was asked not
only to revamp the existing S305
million works program, which
the city heads have labeled out
of-date. but to grapple with the
problem of financing. which is
begging down the program as it
stands.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner, in a
memorandum outlining the new
committees task, expressly LAID
part of the blame foi the city's
public works problems on a lag
in Federal support.
While District taxes and con-
struction costs have risen, the
authorized Federal payment has
remained fixed. And Congress
actually has appropriated SIS mil
lion less than what was author
lied since the start of the works
program three years ago, Gen.
Lane pointed out.
The District would have been
entitled to So million more if the
authorization had been increased
in the same proportion as the
Districts revenues. Gen. Lane
added. And this. he noted,
would merely have kept pace |
with an So million rise in build
ing costs caused by imitation.
The Federal payment has
matched the congressional au-
thorization in only one of the
last three years. For fiscal 1855. t
$50 million was authorized and
appropriated. In fiscal 1856, the
same amount was authorized,
but only Sl8 million granted. /
In fiscal 1857, s23 million was
authorized. but Congress voted /
only $40 million.
President Eisenhower has rec
commended S23 million for the
year starting next July. but Con-
gress hasn't acted on it yet.
Gen. Lane a week ago. In
radio talk. urged that the Feo-
eral payment be put on Con-
tractual basis" geared to the /,

lationship to the Federal Gov

ton was an exam held for top
Internal Revenue Service jobs.
Appointments to these posi-
tons are now being made
through promotions of employees
in lower grades or from outside
appointments.
Mr.. Murray and some of his
colleagues on the House COM
Imittee feel that politics and per-
'sonal favoritism may sometimes
play a part in filling these super
grade jobs. They feel that a true
merit system should provide
equal opportunity for Federal
workers to reach the pinnacle of
the Government service on the
basis of competitive ability.
Wants Standards Set Up
Mr.. Murray also expressed
concern that the csc has not
set minimum Job qualification
standards for the Governments

have been removed from the
merit system.
He asked the csc why this
has not been done and intimated
that legislation by Congress
might be the alternative if the

Facing Rocky

Presidents Proposal
For Economic Aid
Comes Under Fire
BY J. A. OLEARY

President Eisenhower's Middle
East resolution still faces a rocky
road through the Senate. espe-
cially on the side of economic
aid. judging by comments from
key Senators yesterday.
AS the Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees
faced another week of hearings
there were these developments:

.crat of Arkansas, said approval

Byrd Wants Curbs
3. Senator Byrd. Democrat of
Virginia. said he will advocate
amendments to limit the au-
thorization of economic aid to
one year at a time. and to pre-
vent transfers of military funds
to economic projects. or eco
nomic funds to military pro-
grams.
Informed sources are still
confident the Senate will pass
the substance of the administra-
ton proposal. but with more
strings than the House attached
to it.
Senator Fulbright said the
action Of the two Senate CON-
mittees last week In directing
Mr.. Dulles to prepare a chrome

events in the Middle East back
to 1916 has had no effect on the
merits Of the pending resolution.

He said he still regards It
as an nconstitutional blank
check" authorization, and will
vote against it unless is is re-
written completely along the
lines Of his own substitute. or
that of Senator Mansfield, DEM

No Force Of Law
The Fulbright substitute is
only a Senate resolution. having
no force of law and merely ex-
pressing the sense of the Sem
