mittee holding hearings on the
legislation already approved by
the Senate. here are the facts:
Last october %, on the basis
of significant" evidence that
comparable industry pay in the
Washington area had risen con-
siderably. the Navy. Army and
Air Force jointly began a wage
survey designed to adjust wages
for their blue collar workers
in the Washington area.
All the findings and facts
were assembled by Deem
Der 81.
Yet the pay raises have not
yet been approved. although
it has been nearly flve months
since the wage survey was
initiated. Government employe
The subcommittee headed by
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat Of Georgia, with Repre-
sentative Corbett, Republican
of Pennsylvania, as the top
minority member, was visibly
impressed by the employee lead
ers' testimony. The subcommit-
tee was told Of other cases
where delays of upward of a
year took place in approving
pay increases.
Indications are that the sub
committee will approve the
legislation in somewhat the
same form as that okayed by
the Senate. Full committee APP
proyal is also indicated, since
Chairman Murray already has
expressed support of such legis-
lation. ~
Meanwhile. the Nays Wage
Board Committee will meet to-
day on the proposed pay raises
for blue-collar workers in this
area. Army and Air Force are
expected to follow in whatever
pay raise figure is finally de-
termined.
After the wage board makes
its findings, the pay raises must
be formally approved by the
heads of the departments.

ESCALATOR CLAUSE-Rep-
reSentative. Hemphill, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, feels
that the future may require
Federal classified and postal
employees pay to be fixed by an
escalator clause. In other words,
the salaries would be adjusted
automatically according to the
coSt-of-l Living index.
Mr.. Hemphill wasn't talking
about current Federal pay raise
legislation this year. He said
he was looking at future years
when salaries once again will
have to be adjusted to keep pace
with rising living costs. Under
the present system of having to
wait for Congress- TO act on pay
raises, the average Federal
worker has had a hard time
keeping his head above water
from a financial and economic
standpoint" Mr., Hemphill said.
In speech before the So
Iciety for Personnel Admins
tration, Mr.. Hemphill urged
the group to make a serious
study Of legislation sponsored
by Representative st. George,
Republican of New York. Mrs.
st. George has advocated the
eScalator clause concept for
some years now. A few years
ago the House almost adopted
this provision as part of one of
the pay raise bills then pending
before 1T.

The Moscow Conference in De-
