BY JOSEPH YOUNG

| At a recent meeting with Re-
publican members Of Congress.
President Eisenhower again ex-
pressed deep concern over Fed
eral pay raise legislation.
This was the second time in
recent weeks that Mr.. Eisen-
hover took a dim view of Fed
eral pay legislation in talks
with G. o. P. members.
Republicans at the latest
meeting said the President
asked how much the $546 postal
pay raise bill approved by the
House Civil Service Committee
would cost if it inevitably"
spread to other Government
employees, including the mill
tary.
Some of the legislators told
him the cost would amount to
So billion. Others said it would
not be more than SIS billion
and less than that if postal
rate increases were enacted to
offset the cost Of the postal
pay boost.
The President then stressed
the inflationary impact he felt
such added Federal expendi-
lures would have on the nation
al economy.
AGENCIES BUDGETS RE-
STRICTED - Meanwhile, the
Budget Bureau has sent a let
ter Of instructions to all Fed
eral departments and agencies
asking them to hold their 1858
fiscal expenditures at or below
last years budget.
This would mean that the
job expansion plans Of some
agencies might be curtailed.
A number of Federal bureaus
have received extra money
from Congress to add employees,
but the Budget Bureaus direc-
tive would have the effect of
curbing employment expansion.
The Budget letter has caused
considerable confusion and
chagrin among agencies which
h ad successfully convinced
Congress Of the need for more
employees, only to find now that
the administration doesn't want
them to spend the money for
this purpose.
The Budget Bureaus direc-
tive does give an agency head
the right to seek an exception
from the spending curb if he
can justify it to the bureau or
to the President. Thus, it is
expected that some leeway will
be given agencies in hiring
added personnel If the public
interest warrants it.
