thought the ratio should be
based on classroom attendance
rather than enrolment. Total

Senate Chiefs
Clash on Bill

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland and Democratic
Leader johnson clashed ver-
bally today over the recent Ell
senhower veto Of the omnibus
SIS billion river and harbor
bill.
1t started when Senator
Knowland introduced a new
bill. emitting the projects
which prompted the veto be-
cause they did not meet the
usual criteria for approval.
His action followed a deci-
sion last week by Senator
johnson to take the unusual
course Of holding Senate hear
ings on the merits of both the
river and harbor and farm bill
vetoeS.
Senator johnson said today
he understood that Senator
Knowland had indicated he
would keep an open mind on
the wisdom of the veto pend
ing the hearings.
Il deeply regret he apparent
ly has retreated from his posi-
ton as / understood it," Sem
ator johnson added.
Senator Knowland replied
that he gave further thought
to the problem and decided to
introduce the modified bill after
indications that the Public
Works Committee hearings on
the veto would be delayed.
Attacking the Knowland bill.
Senator johnson said he does
not believe Congress is going
to let "a political budget di-
rector" tell it which projects
are deserving Of approval.

instead of the scent rate

The conferees still have to ad-
Just House and Senate differ
ences on second and third class
rates before completing action
on the pay-rate legislation, but
this is expected to be accom-
plished within the next week
Administration officials give
these reasons why the 10 per
cent postal pay raise is heading
for q likely veto. First, it gives
q disproportionate share Of the
increase to the lower salary
levels, thereby discriminating
against those in the higher
grades and disrupting the post
al salary system.
Second. it is too costly and
sets an inflationary pay pat
tern for classified employees and
military personnel.
New Bill Forecast
Chairman Johnston of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
said he would soon sponsor leg
islation to give postal employees
in salary levels z and above the
same percentage increases as
rank-and-iile postal workers.
This could appease the admin
istration on that score, but the
cost objection would remain
Chairman Murray of the
House Civil Service Committee,
who headed the House confer
ees. did not attend yesterdays
session. Mr.. Murray, who ia
vored postal pay raises OF not
more than rs per cent and a
scent first class rate, appar-
emily boycotted the meeting.
The conferees said the cost
Of the 10 per cent postal pay
raise would be $257 million a
year. The rate increases prr-
vided for in the measure would
raise about $3.50 million a year
in additional revenue. Senator
Carlson said it would cost $342
million the first year with the
retroactive provision.
Administration officials, how
ever. apparently take the stand
that the additional postal reve-
nue. would be more than wiped
out by the combined cost of
postal and classified employe
pay raises.
Overriding Uncertain
Whether Congress could
muster the necessary two
thirds vote to override a pres
idential veto on postal rate-pay
legislation is a matter of con-
siderable debate on Capitol Hill.
In the event a veto was not
overridden. Congress would
have to rush new pay raise
legislation, considerably less
than 10 per cent. The admin
istration's original pay raise
proposal was 6 per cent. And
without any postal rates en-
acted, it probably would not 90
any higher than this figure.
