There is no such provision in

is in better shape than the

Citing the difficulties that the

STALLING - A number of
Federal employe leaders are
rapidly becoming disenchanted
over what they feel are stalling
tactics by some of the House.
Senate conferees on the postal
pay-rate bill.
The conferees met yesterday
In what had been hoped to be
the final wrap-up on the legis-
lation. But no final agreement
was reached. although Senator
Johnston. Democrat of South
Carolina. chairman of the con-
ference, once again expressed
optimism and said the con-
ferees hoped to reach final ac-
cord next Wednesday.
Powerful as the postal en-
ploye unions are on Capitol
Hill, they are not a match for
the magazine publishing and
large mailers' lobby. Conse-
quently. the postal unionisss
are fearful that stalllng tactics
are being used to put on the i
rate increases as long as pos
sible. Some members q the
publishing and mailers' lobby
would like to get the bill vetoed
by loading it with items OBJ
jectionable to- the adminis-
tration. employe leaders feel.
The conferees yesterday did
agree on the Senate version for
second-rate mail increases Of
so per cent on the advertising
portion Of a publication in
three annual 10 per cent jumps.
The increases would become
effective January /, 1859, in
stead of the previously pro-
posed July /, 1858 date. This
six-month delay would save
the various publications SIPS
million, since the annual cost
of the increase would be $25

They called on President Ei-

told that the Civil Service Com
mission could best handle such

The witnesses expressed fears
that the Presidents program

would deprive deserving en-

BIOLOGISTS PAY RAISED
The Civil Service Commission
has authorized Federal agen-
cies to increase the entrance
pay rates for geologists (GS-
1850 series) to the top salary
steps in grades S through II.
The new rates will be effective
early In June.
More than $500 biologists
now on the Federal payroll in
these shortage-category posi-
tions will benefit from the
raises, as well as 536 new en-
ployes expected to be added to
the Government payroll during
the next year. Such pay in
creases are authorized by law
for hard-to-fill Federal jobs.
The new annual pay rates
for biologists are: grade S, $4.-
$50; grade 6. $4,890; grade Z,
$5.335; grade 8. $3.50; grade
