knew the President was going to
veto them anyway.
Actually, the rs per cent clas-
sified employe pay raise bill APP
proved by the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee with slightly
higher increases for those in the
upper grades) is generally &C
ceptable to the administration.
While providing a slightly high
er increase than that proposed
the White House, it follows the
Presidents general pattern for
adjusting the range between
grades, etc.
The only real difference Is in
the retroactive feature of the
Senate groups bill, which would
make the raises effective last
October /. The administration
points out that this retroactive
feature for both classified and
postal workers would amount
to about a half billion dollars,
in addition to the $685. to $3.50
million a year cost the proposed
pay raises to cost.
The real controversy con-
Germs the postal employee pay
raise bill. The Senate commit
tee has voted postal workers a
rs per cent increase, plus a
temporary three-year cost-of-
living bonus for clerks and
letter carriers. This actually
amounts to about q 12.5 per
cent raise.
The administration says the
bill in its present form is to-
tally unacceptable to the
White House.
Postal employee leaders de-
clare that postal workers de-
serve even a greater increase
than that provided in the Sen
ate committees bill.
HOPES STILL HIGH-De-
spite all this controversy, there
still is every indication that
Government classified and
postal employees will receive
pay raises this year.
The main reason for conf
dence Is that Congress is due
to act early enough on pay
raise legislation so that it can
still approve compromise pay
raise bills satisfactory to the
White House in the event the
initial pay-raise legislation is
vetoed.
Another reason is that Con-
gress this year finally appears
ready to give President Eisen-
hover his long-sought postal
rate increases. There is a good

the President win veto the pay
legislation.
In all likelihood. Congress
would not be able to override
the veto. This means that Con-
gress then would have to come
up with pay legislation more to
the Presidents liking, although
it undoubtedly would be more
than the administrations 6 per
cent pay raise proposals.
rs Believed Limit
Administration officials have
given strong indication that
Mr.. Eisenhower would agree to
a compromise rs per cent pay
raise for classified and postal
workers. But anything higher
than that would incur a presi-
dental veto, they say.
Thus, the pay raise situation
may well turn out to be a car
bon copy of the situation in
1954-55, which saw the Presi-
dent twice veto pay raise legis-
lation before finally signing a
compromise bill approved by
Congress.
$50
FACTORS INVOLVED - If
Federal classified and postal
employe union leaders agreed
to a rs per cent increase, the
pay raise legislation could be-
come law within a few weeks.
Bus the employee leaders feel
they have an obligation to their
memberships to seek a higher
raise. They point out that
Congress last year, by an over
whelming majority, approved
an II per cent raise for CLASH
fed workers and a $546 in
crease for postal workers that
subsequently was vetoed by the
President.
Since living costs have risen
even higher since the veto en-
ploye leaders say that they can
not in good conscience settle
for the administrations token"
pay raise proposal.
On the other hand, admins
tration officials argue that the
Governments fiscal situation
cannot stand any Federal pay
raise of the size being sought
by Government employe groups.
Called "Gesture"
Furthermore. they contend
that the pay raise bills approved
by Congress last year were only
q gesture" and therefore can
not be taken too seriously. since

organization,

possibility that postal rate in
creases will be tied to the sal
airy increase legislation in a
package deal that will win
White House approval.
Still another reason is that
Postmaster General Summer
field and many other influen-
tial administration officials feel
that a Federal pay raise this
year is most necessary for the
Government to attract and re-
tain the best personnel and
that President Eisenhower is
also keenly aware of the prob
lem.
