The Senate Finance Com
mittee today approved without
change the House bill extend
ing existing corporation and
excise tax rates for another
year from July /.
The committee sidetracked q
move by Senator Douglas,
Democrat of Illinois, to SUBJ
stitute a So billion tax-cutting
program.
The committee went along
with the administration re-
quest for a straight extension
after Treasury Secretary An
derson warned that even with
a resumption of good business
conditions the Government
faces deficit spending that viii
continue into the recovery
period.
Freight Tax Repeal Sought
Although the bill came out
of committee without amend
ment, Senator Smathers, DEM
ocrat of Florida, announced
he will offer on the Senate
floor his motion to repeal the
3 per cent tax on all freight
shipped by common carrier
and the 10 per cent tranSpor-
tation tax on individuals.
This proposal is believed to
have more support in the Sen
ate than any other tax change.
If it should carry, other Sena-
tors probably will try to reduce
or repeal the 10 per cent tax
on automobiles.
The taxes continued by the
bill brings in $2.6 billion a
year. Mr.. Anderson told the
committee that even with this
extension the Treasury faces

Senate Opens
Labor Debate
Kennedy Defends
Bill, Blasts Mitchell
BY LEE M. COIN
Star stan Writer

Senator Kennedy urged the
Senate today to reject 'ill-in-
formed and inaccurate" criti-
ciSms by Labor Secretary
Mitchell and pass a moderate
union reform bill.
Launching a politics-charged
debate, the Massachusetts,
Democrat declared that Mr.
Mitchell's attack on the bill
sought to confuse rather than
clarity; introduced partisan
ship where it had been mini
mized, and jeopardized rather
than enhanced possibilities fol-
favorable congressional action
on legislation this year"
Senator Kennedy maintained
the Labor Committees bill is
workable, fair, constructive
and comprehensive" without
Delng punitive.
Meanwhile, Secretary Mitch
ell arrived in New York on his
way back to Washington from
Geneva to lead the admins
tration's fight for amendment
of the bill.
Amendments Planned
Republican Leader Knowland
of California. Senator Gold
water. Republican of Arizona,
and other conservatives planned
to push more stringent amend
ments of the pending bill than
Mr.. Mitchell proposes.
Warming UP with a non-con-
troversial amendment. the Sen
ate voted $50 to grant the
Secretary of Labor subpoena
powers for investigation of pos
Sible violations.
Senator Kennedy accepted
the amendment by Senator
Cooper, Republican of Ken
lucky. The vote was by roll
call, as Senate leaders said
strong action might influence
the House, which so far dis
plays little evidence that il
will take up labor legislation.
New Vote Set
The Senate prepared to vote
on another amendment by Sem
ator Cooper. meeting criticism
by Secretary Mitchell, to re-
quire unions to report on
finances to their members, in
addition to filing reportswith
the Secretary of Labor. Sena-
tor Kennedy accepted this
amendment, too.
The Senate was scheduled to
hold night sessions today and
tomorrow and to meet again all
day Saturday if necessary to
rush action on the legislation
aimed at curbing union cor
ruption.

cent increase to $1,000 Govern
ment engineers, scientists and
other employees who would
have been denied this full in
crease in the Senate version
of the legislation. These en-
ployes recently had been given
top-of -the-grade pay raises by
the Civil Service Commission
under law that authorizes such
increases in hard-to-f1ll jobs.
New Top Jobs Provided
The conferees also agreed to
an additional 500 high-paying
Government jobs.
OF these, 292 are super
grade jobs in grades 16 to 10.
which will pay up to $17,500
year. OF this number 176 are
in grade 16, 70 in grade II
and 20 in grade Is. The Civil
Service Commission will deter
mine the ALLEGATION of these
super-grade jobs to Federal
agencies.
The conferees specifically al
located IL Grade II jobs to
the immigration and Natural
ization Service and four to the
United States courts.
A total of 307 jobs for top
engineers and scientists paying
up to $4,000 a year was APP
proved by the conferees.
OF this number l57 went to
the Defense Department, rs to
the National Security Agency,
so to the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, 5 to
Interior, to Agriculture, 5 to
Health. Education and We'll
fare; Is to Commerce and rs
to the National Institutes Of
Health.
Entrance Rate Increased
The conferees also approved
allowing college graduates to
enter the Government service
in professional and executive
jobs at Grade 7 instead of the
present Grade 5 entrance rate.
Also the bill provides that
all appointees to Federal super
grade jobs, including. the politi-
cal schedule c positions, must
meet Civil Service Commission
qualifications. The only excep-
lions are presidential appointee
jobs or staff assistants of the
President.
The 10 per cent raise also
will be given to District gov
eminent classified workers,
Legislative and Judicial per-
sonnet and employees in such
non-Civil Service Agencies as

ligence. the FBI and others.
