By JOSEPH YOUNG

The way now appears clear
for Civil Service Commission
approval early next week Of
top-of- the-grade pay raises foi
$1,000 Government scientists
and engineers In grades IL and
above.
A series Of fast-breakinR
developments yesterday, after
The Star published a story that
the Budget Bureau had asked
the csc to hold up these in
creases temporarily. resulted In
some welcome news for the
engineers and scientists in
volved.
Civil Service Commission
Chairman Harris Ellsworth
said that the Budget Bureau
telephoned yesterday and told
him the commission could
go ahead with It's approval OF
the increases. He said the in
creases will be officially APP
proved next week.
Brundage Denies Order
Earlier In the day, Budget
Director percival Brundage de-
MED that the Budget Bureau
had ordered the csc to hold
up the increases until the adj
ministration determined its pay
raise stand next year for Gov.
eminent classified and postal
workers. Mr.. Brundage did not
amplify his statement.
Mr.. Ellsworth said that q
Budget Bureau offlcial early last
week called the CSC and asked
that the increases be delayed
temporarily until an estimate
could be made Of the cost OF
such raises The csc had been
set TO approve the increase last
Monday or Tuesday.
Civil Service Commissioner
Christopher Phillips also said
a Budget Bureau ofhcial
last Monday had asked that the
pay increases be delayed.
csc sources had told The
Star the Budget Bureau wanted
the proposed increases held up
until an overall policy had
been decided on Federal pay,
in the light Of a projected 50
billion increase in defense
funds.
Late yesterday. Rocco Sicili-
ano. administrative assistant to
President Eisenhower on per-
sonnet management who favors
the increases for engineers and
scientists. called the Budget Bu-
reau 10 check on the situation.
Mr.. Siciliano reminded
Budget Bureau officials that,
under the law. the Civil Service
Commission has the sole au-
thority to order top-of the
grade salary increases in hard
to-fill Federal jobs. He was
told that the Budget Bureau
would not have any objection
to the raises going into effect.
The increases. which would
range UP to $1,000 a year for
some Of the employees involved.
would cost the Defense Depart
ment $40 million a year and
the rest Of the Federal agencies

tapping charges, Hoffa said
the Transfers would carry on
as they always have and would
cooperate with any union
which wanted to work with
them.
The AFL-CIO action, Hoffa
insisted. will not have much
affect on the Transfers. They
didn't build u.s." he said, and
they won't weaken us"
But he emphasized that he
has no intention of resigning
from his post to clear the way
possibly for the return Of the
Transfers into the federation.
Why should I quit7" he de-
manded.
Whatever the outcome, the
Transfers fate seemed at the
moment interviewer with Hoffa
and the outcome depending not
only OF his trial in New York
on overlapping charges and q
pending Federal perjury charge.
but also the current suit in
Washington challenging his
election as president Of the
union. An adverse decision in
any Of these court actions
would strengthen any element
within the union seeking his
custer.
The AFL-CIO convention,
the first since the labor merger
two years ago. reached its peak
on the second day OF the To-day
gathering with the action
against the Temasters. Four
smaller unions face similar ex-
pulsion action on corruption
charges next week.
