findings apply not only TO
scientists and engineers but are
equally applicable TO the many
administrative and other en-
ployes who back up the engi-
neers and scientists in their
tasks.
White House officials empha-
sized President Eisenhower'S
general Endorsement OF the
commuters proposals that the
Governments $4,000 engineers
and scientists receive greater
salaries and more attractive
fringe BENEFITS. The committee
called critical" the situation
which finds the Government
losing able personnel to indus
try due TO inadequate pay.
In fact, President Eisenhower
has sent letters to top Govern
ment officials asking them to
prepare legislation based on the
proposals for probable SUBJ
mission TO Congress next jan
uary.
President Eisenhower with
held any specific Endorsement
OF all the pay adjustment pro-
posals pending completion OF
the study now being made by
his subcabinet committee on al
the various Federal pay sys-
TENS.
But administration officials
said this was being done only
so that the findings Of the two
committees could be co-ordi-
mated and specific proposals
can be sent to Congress. And
it's expected that the subcabi-

Mr.. Bachman said he was

sters we're under q preliminary
Injunction barring Hoffa or
any others elected at the re-
cent Miami convention from
taking ONCE.
The Injunction was issued
late yesterday by Federal Judge
F. Dickinson Let's on findings
that many Of the convention
delegates were seated illegally.
Appeal Expected
Attorneys for the Transfers
were expected to appeal the
Let's ruling tomorrow to
the United States Court Of APP
peals. asking that IL set aside
the preliminary Injunction.
The AFL-CIO council was
reported set 70 suspend the
Transfers and recommend its
expulsion from the family OF
unions at the federation's De-
cember convention in Atlantic
City.
The council was said to have
rejected q number Of overtures
from Hoffa to avoid suspension
OF the union. The council al
ready has found that the union
was under corrupt influences
because of the activities OF
Hoffa and retiring President
Dave Beck.
Dickering Reported
A plan repeatedly was under
consideration to name q three
member council committee with
which Teamster officials could
consult to learn what cleanup
steps they must take TO avoid
eventual expulsion.
There also we're reports that
Hoffa had dickered through
emissaries to temper the
unions punishment and accept
q probationary status under
AFL-CIO supervision TO avoid
any suspension.
Judge Let's in granting the
Injunction also barred pay
ment Of any salaries occurring
to the newly-elected officers
by virtue Of their election. But
he rejected a move TO appoint
a master-inequity as a watch
dog over union affairs and
funds.
He forbade Hofia and Beck
and other officers from making

would support Federal pay
raises next year.
The main reason for this
change Of heart Is the cumula-
tive findings many outside and
administration committees that
Federal salaries g9aeraliy in
virtually all fields lag behind
industry.
The Cordiner Committee
composed Of top industrialists
warned that national security
was being threatened by made
quate Federal pay that resulted
in the departure Of many thou
sands of top professional people
in Government.
The findings OF the Com
mittee on Scientists and Engi-
neers which we're released
yesterday also had a strong
impact on the White House. So
did the similar conclusions Of
other impartial fact finding
committees.
Finally. the Importance Of
Sputnik must not be overlooked.
The Russian launching of the
space satellite gave dramatic
emphasis TO the fact that the
United States Government
cannot afford to have anything
but the best employees In the
world.

the total was down 875 from
