open mind" on this years
pay raise question. He seems
less adamant towards a pay
raise than in the past.
Il Just haven't decided what
my position will be-" Mr.. Muir
ray said. II have an open
mind on the subject. In any
event, the pay raise shouldn't
be more than 5 per cent. I'm
very much concerned about
adding to the national debt"
Mr.. Murray said he wanted
to hear the views of admins
tration officials, who oppose a
pay raise. before making UP his
mind. The administration tes-
titles before the committee on
Thursday.
Mr.. Murray's support Of a
pay raise, even one of only
5 per cent, would strengthen
pay raise chances considerably.
1t wouldn't make much diff
ference in his committee, be-
cause at least 81 out of the Is
members are overwhelmingly in
favor Of a pay raise and will re-
port out a salary increase bill.
However, Mr.. Murray's SUD-
port would have a very salu-
tary effect as far as President
Eisenhower is concerned.
Although a Democrat, Mr..
Murray as one of the more cons
servative members of his party
has always been close to the
White House on civil service
and postal matters. President
Eisenhower, in past actions on
civil service and postal matters.
such as whether to sign or veto
pay raise legislation, has al
ways leaned heavily on Mr..
Murray's advice.
Thus, Mr.. Murray's support
OF q pay raise could improve
the chances OF q bill being
signed into law by the Presi-
dent instead Of being vetoed.
Congressional approval of pay
raise legislation is regarded as
practically certain.
OF course. Federal and postal
employe leaders as we'll as
pay raise sponsors want a pay
raise Of more than S per cent.
Even so. Mr.. Murray's sup
port Of q modest pay raise
would be at least a start toward
winding up with a satisfactory
compromise.
