csc ASSAILED - Chairman
Thomas of the House Appro-
Ipriations subcommittee on the
Independent offices bill has
assailed the Civil Service Com
mission for refusing to approve
the 10 super-grade jobs voted
the Civil Aeronautics Board by
Congress last year.
! THE responsibility of the
CAB and its staff clearly en-
titles it to these grades" Mr.
Thomas said. The response
bilities of the Civil Service
Commission are comparatively
minor compared to those of
yours and many other agencies
with responsibility for allocat-
ing hundreds of millions of dol
lars. Yet the csc has allocated
unto themselves numbers of
grade 10, IA and is jobs, and
maybe the super-grades. far in
excess of what they are entitled
to, far in excess of their re-
sponsibility and their business
Judgment indicates they should
have" Mr.. Thomas said the
csc action in denying CAB the
additional super-grades lis a
clear violation of the intention
Of Congress"

EMPLOYE VIEWS URGED
Civil Service Commissioner
Barbara Gunderson has urged
Government agencies to give
more emphasis in obtaining and
considering employe views on
personnel policies and proce-
dures. In a San Francisco
speech, Mrs. Gunderson said
this would result in better en-
ploye management relations
and improved effectiveness and
efficiency in Government.
Many Federal agencies don't
even bother to solicit the views
of their employees, Mrs. Gun
derSon said.

Retailers See
Ruin in Higher
Minimum Pay
by LEE NJ. COIN
star star writer

Retailers warned Congress
today that Federal minimum
wages In their industry would
cause unemployment. imitation
and a rash OF store closings.
They testified before the SEN
ate Labor Subcommittee against
a bill by Democratic Senators
Kennedy. OF Massachusetts. and
Morse, OF Oregon, 10 extend
minimum wage coverage 10 rs
million workers who now are
excluded, and 20 raise the wage
floor from 81 70 si.25 an hour.
About az million OF the Ma
tons 6.8 million exempt retail
workers would be covered by
the bill. Retailers are leading
the fight against the legislation,
which faces heavy odds despite
the backing Of organized labor
Russell r. Mueller Of the
American Retail Federation,
told the subcommittee retail
ing is local In nature" so the
States should handle any regu-
lation that may be necessary,
He said conditions vary too
widely TO permit establishment
of national standards.
Objects TO "IneQuity"
Mr.. Mueller also objected "a
the "inequity" of the proposal
to exempt retail stores with
gross annual sales Of less thar
$500, 000-or less than $4,000
in special circumstances.
Anyway, he contended. the
bill would actually benefit only
is to IS per cent Of retail
employees.
Since stores would find II
difficult to increase productiv-
lily to match wage boosts. Mr.
Mueller testified. the legislation
would force infiationary price
increases, wipe out profits and
thus cause business failures
and result in loss Of jobs for
marginal workers.
Spokesman for other retail
ing organizations made similar
points. with special reference
to their individual problems.
Chain President TestifieS
w. E. Walker. jr., president
of a chain of stores in Missis-
sippi, said his payroll costs
would be increased by 40 per
cent by a SIPS minimum, wip-
ing out his 4 per cent profit
margin. To stay in business,
he said, he would have to lay
of some of his workers, and
raise his prices where compe-
tition permitted.
Charles r. Frederick of the
National Retail Farm Equip
ment Association, emphasized
the problem of adjusting to a
40-hour week, in view of sea-
Sonal fluctuations in business.
He and other witnesses con-
tended an hourly wage increase
would result in lower annual
income for many retail work.

have to lay off help during

word, until the Reds have con-
quered the world, DR.. Stefan
T. Possony declared.
The eonsuItanf didn't think
much Of "the persistent han.
kerins in the West to 'negoti-
tate with the Soviets." He as
serted that "fhe more summit
meetings" are held "the worse
off we will be-" He said the
communists would not insist
on summit meetings If those
were not to their advantage"
He added that is Is not public
opinion thar cIamors for such
meeting, but ut is those who
made that public opinion, in
GLIDING many Western states
men,"
In the early days, Dr.. Pos
sony told the Congressman,
communism developed a ''rev-
dictionary" language, but
abandoned it in 1888 when 1t
decided that this language was
revealing the true nature of
the movement. "The commun-
lists did not change their basic
texts" he explained, "but
cleaned up the language which
they addressed to the nonini-
tiated."
He said revolution" be.
came liberation" "eommvn-
Ism" was replaced by "anfi-
faseism" and ~"anti.imperisI.
ISM" and fhe determination
Of whole groups Of people be-
came "fhs laying Of ths fovn-
dafions Of socialism,"
Asked what the communists
meant by the word "coexist.
ence," DR.. Possony said:
"The bone 'coexists' with the
dog; the rope "coexists' with
the man who Is hanged; bacil-
Ii 'coexists' with your body"
Two of the roots Of com.
munists sematics, the con.
sultant said, are that every
communist m U ~nication
must convey a revolutionary
activating message to the par.
ty and its followers, and at
the same time q soothing,
pacifying and paralyzing'
message to the opponents Of
communism.
The VESTS difficulty IN
eovnterins the communist
semanfic weapon, he added, !,
due to fhe fact that massive
communist propaganda il
poured Into the West through
stsfemsnfs, books and broad
