Move to Halt Rise
In Postage Fails
BY the Associated Press

Parcel post users have lost
the first round of their legal
fight against an SSS-million-a-
year increase in postage rate;
on packages and catalogues.
In an order filed today
United States District Judge
Joseph C. McGarraghy denied
a preliminary injunction which
had been asked by the Parcel
Post Association and some in
dividual business Arms.
The judge. however, also
denied a Government motion
to dismiss the complaint. AS a
result, it will remain on the
court calendar for argument
later on a request for a perma-
ment Injunction.
The higher rates are sched-
uled to go into effect Febru-
ary /.

Senate Democratic Leader
Johnson declined today to take
Ia stand on the drive to deprive
him of the authority to fill
future vacancies on the DEM
ocratic Policy Committee.
1t is part of a move by lib
erals to obtain more of a voice
in shaping the Democratic pro-
gram in the Senate.
Senator johnson told report
ers it was a matter for the con-
ference of all 65 Democratic
Senators to decide when 1t
meets tomorrow, and he would
express no personal opinion.
The Texan called tomorrow s
meeting to settle this issue and
to decide when the Senate
should take up the school con-
struction and election reform
bills.
Senator johnson made no
prediction on the outcome OF
the Policy Committee contro-
versy, but other informed
sources said the move to provide
for election Of members and
expansion of the committee
from 8 to is members would
fail.
Senator Gore Of Tennessee
author Of the proposed Policy
Committee changes, planned to
take the floor in the Senate
this afternoon to defend his
position.
Challenge by Gore
He said he was prompted to
offer his resolution because he
disagrees with the contention
made at last weeks Demo-
cratic conference that the
Policy Committee is merely an
arm Of the leadership.
Senator Gore said he wanted
to emphasize he has no objec-
ton to the Senators who now
serve on the Policy Committee,
but regards the committee as
an agent of all the Democrats.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
I: Budget Bureau Hits
Flexible Annuity Bill
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star stan Writer

The Budget Bureau has given unfavorale report
the bill that would automatically adjust retired empoye
stes each time Government classified postal
receive pay raises.
The administrators opposition to tying annuity
to Federal raises contained report
Evening star., 1960-01-11

had asked for the administra-
ttnn's views.
ALTH INSURANCE -
Meanwhile, indications are
strong that Congress this year
viii vote to extend the Federal
employe health insurance pro-
gram to Government workers
already retired.
***
~CHANGE IN FORMULA
Senator Moss, Democrat OF
Utah. has sponsored a bill to
permit the inclusion of military
pay in the computation Of av-
erage salary for Government
eplploye annuity purposes. Al
present. years of military serv-
ice are counted for annuity
purposes, but not the amount
Of military salary.
The Moss bill would benefit
FEDERAL workers whose pay in
the military was higher than
the salary they received in ci-
villain service.
PAY FRINGE BENEFITS
Aside from a general pay raise,
here are other pay feature lib
eralizations that Federal en-
ploye unions want Congress
to approve this year:
Reduce the present 1S-month
waiting period for within-step
raises for employees in grades
II and above to one year, the
same as now in effect for en-
ployes in grades below II.
Add a fourth longevity pay
step to the present three-step
longevity system. And lib
efalize the present requirement
that an employe must have
spent at least 10 years in his
present grade before becoming
eligible for longevity pay raises,
50 that the employe need only
have spent 10 years in the Fed
eral service. This would qualify
many more Government en-
ployes for longevity pay raises.
Increase the amount of
within-step pay raises.
PRAISE-Andrew Ruddock
Chief of the Civil Service Com
Missions Bureau of Retire
ment and Insurance, and his
stan are coming in for lots of
praise from the Senate and
House Civil Service Commit
tees for their handling of the
n esw Government employe
health insurance program. The
quick and effective way that
Mr.. Ruddock and his staff are
getting the program into shape
for the July / starting date
has greatly pleased all those on
Capitol Hill who last year
played the major roles in get

acted.
