He also said de luxe service
should be reduced and fares
for such service should be
raised. State and city govern
ments must subsidize local
commuter service, he added.
The president Of the coun-
try's largest rail system made
public his recommendation In
a policy letter on the problems
of the railroad industry.
He said that even II his pro-
gram were put into effect in

wrote.
The Pennsylvania has done

Mr.. Symes said.
He explained that under his
proposed Government subsidies
the railroad would provide the

He said commuter service

An organizational meeting to

Metropolitan area will be held
May Is at the Washington
Board Of Trade ONCE.
The association will take
over port work now being done
jointly by the Alexandria
Chamber Of Commerce, the
city Of Alexandria and the
Washington Board of Trade.
Raymond L. Tolbert, chair
man Of q Joint committee Of
the chamber. city and Board
Of Trade, said yesterday that
civic groups. merchants, ship
pers. municipalities and other
interested groups would be
brought into the organization.
To Meet May Is
In another part Of the port
picture, Mr.. Tolbert said q
committee Of the Alexandria
Chamber would meet May Is
to discuss setting up an Alex
andria port commission.
This committee eventually
will make recommendations on
the best kind Of port organiza-
ton for the city, with q view
to indignation into a metro
politan system, he said.
Commenting that there have
been figve unsolicited requests
for use of projected Alexandra
port facilities, Mr.. Tolbert said
Things look exceedingly prom
ising."
Ship Line Interested
He said also that a passenger
ship line is interested in making
washington a permanent port
of call if a deep channel be-
comes available.
Mr.. Tolbert explained that
the city of Alexandria already
is working toward acquiring the
old Ford plant facilities and
docks at the foot Of Franklin
street. That property, owned
by the Government, has been
declared surplus by the General
Services Administration.
Col. George B. Sumner,

ploye pay raises retroactive 70
30 days after the start Of q
wage survey.
The administration has reg
istered It's strong opposition To
the Senate-passed measure In
hearings before a House Civil
Service subcommittee which Is
now considering the bill. The
administration contends that
the retroactive provision would
be Enthusiastically unfeasible
and would create serious budget
problems.
support Developing
Consequently, there is con-
siderable support developing
In the House unit for q system
whereby there would be "anni-
versary date" pay-raise dates
each year whereby the salaries
of per diem workers would be
adjusted depending on similar
pay adjustments for compar-
able industry jobs In the area.
Such a plan may be affected
without even the need Of legis-
lation by Congress. although
there are some who feel that
substantive law would be
needed.
The chances Of the accept
ance Of the plan depend on the
reaction Of Federal employee
unions as well as the attitude
of top administration officials.
The White House recently
has held discussions with en-
ploye leaders on the entire
problem Of trying to solve the
lengthy delays which often
have seen pay raises delayed
as much as six to eight months
from the time a pay survey is
ordered and the time It finally
Is authorized by the head Of a
department.

Mr.. Butler led OF with a slap
at "the cruel numbers game"
which he described as misuse
Of the personnel loyalty-secur-
ity programs Of the Govern
ment.
Sees Personnel Loss
'The impact of the false pic
ture painted with smear brush

pioyes and Government serv-
ice." he declared, did inesti-
'mable damage in frightening

added.
''The scientists and the for
eign economic experts who
shunned Government careers
may actually be the extra effort
we needed in our missile pro-
gram or our struggle on the
technical assistance 'front.'"
Mr.. Butler confidently pre-
dicted that "a Democratic
President after the 1860 cleo
lions (would) never make Civil
Service Commission appoint
ments q mockery Of the very
system the commission is estab-
1ished to protect.
He also struck at the need
less importation into Govern

brains" and "the insecurities
arising from vetoes and threat
ened vetoes of pay bills" In

from body blows at his oppon-
