House Speaker Rayburn and

3. In the final analysis, it was
the relentless, hard-fought
campaign of the postal and
other Government employe
unions that gave the pay legis-
lation the impetus it needed to
become law.

House Rules Committee. whose
clearance for floor action was
needed, also was opposed.
This meant intensive. around
the-clock work by the unions
to get the House Civil Service
Committee to hold hearings
and report a bill. When the
House Rules Committee refused
to act on the bill-which meant
that the bill would die-the
union groups staged a success

force it out of the Rules group
for House action.
The discharge petition move
which requires the signatures
of 219 of the 437 House men,
bers-is rarely successful. but
this time it was.
When the bill reached the
Senate, not only conservative
Senators but some of the liberal
Democrats raised objections to
some Of its features. Some OF
them wanted to knock clasSi-
fed employees out of the bill
This would have killed the pay
chances of both classified and
postal workers, since an
amended bill would have gone
back to the House, specifically
to the Rules Committee. There
would not have been time for
another discharge petition
move.
In this situation, the strong
support of Senate Majority
Leader johnson saved the day.
BOTH WAYS-When it came
time to vote on overriding the
Presidents veto, the admin
istration staged an intensive
fight to get Republicans to
support him. The day of the
veto, administration officials
appeared on Dave Garroway's
Today TV show and urged
viewers to lombard their Sen
ators and Congressman with
kilograms urging them to vote
to sustain the veto.
The union leaders were busy,
too, and not only held on to the
Republicans who had promised
to vote to override. but gained
Others as well.
All postal and Federal en-
ploye unions played an impor-
tant role in the successful pay
raise battle.
However, virtually all mem
bers of Congress, as we'll as ad-

agreed that 1t was the National
Association of Letter Carriers
and its two top officers, William

months, officials announced to-
day.
The Interior Department re-
ported the survey program is be-

under the 1031-million-acre state
hood land grant.
BLM Director Edward Woozley
said the area surveyed in the last
three months is nearly 212 times
that covered in the previous IL
months.
One major survey project,
Woozley said, was study at
Sheep Mountain on the Glenn
Highway northeast of Anchorage
to test the use of precise aerial
photographs in making public
land surveys.
This method, he said, involved
measuring distances on accurate
aerial photographs to loo a e
townships and section corners
without ground work. The cor
ners then are placed by helicopter
crews.
He said the study showed that
measurement errors were less
than two feet a mile in photo
graphs taken from 10000 feet.
