Barring Senate PoyroII
Prompts Foncier Titles

Asked what this was al
about, Chairman Hayden of the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee told a reporter that
Senator Stennis. Democrat Of
Mississippi. knew the answers.
There is no change in pay
but it permits each Senator to
use titles or job descriptions
that are more accurate and
easily understood" Senator
Stennis explained.
When payrolls become pub
lie, Senator Stennis said, some
folks back home might not
understand why a highly COM
petent lawyer or Senator's aide
was listed as q clerk or as
sistant clerk"
I'VE have some mighty COM
|peCent persons on the Stans
up here" he added.
Other sources said some
Senators were afraid the home
folks would misunderstood If
they read that the Senator
needed an administrative as
sistant.
Under the proposed change
in law Senator Stennis said
each Senator may decide just
what titles his assistants and
staff will use.
With several wits and wags
among the august body, the
results could be surprising.

fed" Senator stennis added.
