Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-09
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
star star writer

A Florida utilities company
ofiicial described to the Fed.
eral Communications Commits
sion today how he received a
"low pressure" request from
Senator Kefauver to see former
Commissioner Richard A. Mack
about a Miami TV station APP
plicant.
Ben H. Fuqua. vice president
of the Florida Light d Power
Co., and o close friend Of Mr.,
Mack, testified that the Ten
nessee Democratic Senator
asked that he come here in
early 1856 to urge Mr.. Mack to
consider the merits Of the ap.
plication Of A. Frank Katzen-
tine Of Miami.
Explaining that he had not
previously met Senator Ke-
fauver and knew little about
the Katzentine application for
Channel 10, Mr.. Fuqua said he
merely relayed the request TO
Mr.. Mack in the FEC once,
He added that he mentioned
the Senator's "high estimate
of Mr.. Katzentine.
He insisted he saw nothing
abnormal about his mission Ia
Mr.. Mack. He maintained that
Mr.. Mack was noncommital
and that 'it was a pretty one
sided conversation"
Mr.. Fuqua followed Mr.. Kat
zentine as a witness at hearings
being conducted by former
Pennsylvania Chief Justice
Horace Stern as a special ex-
aminer for the FEC. Mr., Kat
zentine was q losing applicant
when the FEC In 1867 awarded
Channel 10 to Public Service
Television. Inc. q subsidiary OF
National Airlines.
Mainly as o result OF Mr.
Katzentine's complaints, the
Channel 10 case was investi-
gated last winter by the House
Legislative Oversight Subcom-
mittee. This led to the resig-
nation of Mr.. Mack last March
Later the United States Court
of Appeals here remanded the
case to the FEC. Justice Stern
and ultimately the commission,
must determine whether any
commissioner should have dis
qualified himself in the original
FEC action and whether the
award to Public Service Tele-
vision should be set aside.
AS he left the witness stand
late yesterday. Mr.. Katzentine
declared he still believes Mr.

partment that will now allow
dues collection on Government
time. Other agencies allow 1t
only during lunch hours or
after working hours. NFFE ON
Gals are hopeful that other
Federal agencies will follow
Commences lead.
They attach particular sig
nificance that Commences ac-
ton was authorized by Secre.
tary Sinclair Weeks, one of the
top businessmen in the Eisen-
hover administration.
Disclosing the new program.
Carlton Hayward, Commences
personnel director. also said the
department was issuing instTuc-
tons to its employees "encourag-
ing" them to join Federal
employe unions. This goes much
further than the former prac-
tice In Commerce and other
agencies which merely informed
employees Of their right to join
or refrain from joining q union.
Regarding the collection Of
union dues, Commences new
regulations say that designated
members of unions may have
about one hours time each pay
period to make such dues col
lection.
Sees Mutual Gains
Referring to Commsrce's new
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT program,
Mr.. Hayward said:
I'VE believe that with these
measures we are creating q
favorable climate for sound
employe-management relations
in the Commerce Department.
We believe the employee will be
better on, the department will
be better of. the Government
will be better Of, and you and
I as members of the tax paying
public will be better on. If we
have a constructive, co-opera-
tive relationship of this kind"
Edward SHERMAN, personnel
director of the Veterans Admin
istration, promised the NFFE
convention that VAS labor
management program will be
second to none" in Government.
That is the expressed wish of
VA Administrator Sumner
Whittier. he said.
Mr.. SHERMAN said the VA
later this month will make an
attitude survey among its en-
ployes to find out their likes
and diSlikes and their SUCCESS
tons for improving VA person.
mel practices. The survey forms

nous basis by the employees to

ions. he added.

vention that Federal classified
and postal employee salaries
should be adjusted on q "pe-
riodic basis"
Mr. Siciliano noted that over
the last 10 years Federal per

had their pay adjusted each
year, while the pay Of most Fed

adjusted on the average of

3 EmpIoye Matters
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
star star writer

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept 9.-Three important nvestiga-
tons into Federal empoye matters will be undertaken next
year by the Senate Civil Service Committee.
This disclosed today by Chairman Johnston Of the
Senate Civil Service Committee he arrived here to address
Employees.

cations will deal with these
matters:
/. The Governments salary
systems and the changes that
are necessary to adjust Federal
pay on a more expeditions and
realistic basis.
2. The Hatch Act. which re-
stricts the political activities
of Government workers.
3. The Civil Service retire.
ment system and its financing.
Enlarged staff
Senator Johnston said he
expects the Senate to give his
committee sufficient funds to
make these investigations. He
indicated the committees staff
would be considerably enlarged
to carry on the studies.
On the Federal salary sys-
TENS. the proposed Senate COM
mittee investigation would steal
a march on President Eisen-
hower's proposal that Congress
set up l5-member commission
to make the study, composed of
leading citizens and public fig
ures as well as members of Con-
gress, to study the Governments
salary structure.
Senator Johnston feels that
the responsibility of reapprais-
ing the Federal salary system
and m aking the necessary
changes should be left solely to
Congress.
Regarding the Hatch Act,
Senator Johnston feels that it
is presently too restrictive on
Federal workers and that they
should be allowed more free
dom Of political activity.
A House administration sub
committee presently is making
a similar study of the Hatch
Act.
For Fund Stability
On the Civil Service retire.
ment system, Senator Johnston
said he and his committee col
leagues are convinced that the
method Of financing the sys-
tenn should be changed so as to
insure the stability of the fund.
Senator Johnston said he does
not feel that employees should
be called on to contribute a
greater portion of their salaries
to the fund. But he said the
Governments contribution
should be stepped up. For ex-
ample, he called attention to
the fact that the fund at pres
ent receives no funds from Con-
gress for the military service
Federal employees. despite the
fact that military service is
counted as years of Federal
service in computing Govern
ment employee retirement bene-
fits.
And since more than 50 per
cent Of the Governments men
employees are veterans. this puts
the Civil Service retirement
fund at a financial disadvan-
tage, Senator Johnston said.

major development in Federal

Herbs For a Shaker Flavor

about Shaker cooking which to me is
most impressive is that preparation Of
the daily meals was made a Joy and
never a chore. The Shakers believed
their purpose in life was to establish
Gods Kingdom here upon earth. In the
kitchens the Sisters gave their religion
expression in delicious pies, dainty fium-
merieS. Certainly at the table there was
the JOY of heaven.
