service retirement system.
For many years Federal en-
ploye groups opposed any tie
lin with social security. How
ever, this year the American
| Federation of Government En-
Iployes and the National FEEDER
alton of Federal Employees at
their conventions Endorsed a
voluntary supplemental social
security program for Federal
workers. This led to specula-
ton that such a program could
be approved by the next Con-
IgresS.
However, there are a number
of reasons why such outlook
is not good:
/. Still a bit wary of social
security, the AFGE and NFFE
stressed that the program be
ON a voluntary basis. This,
however, is opposed by the So
cial Security Administration,
which wants the program to
cover all Government workers.
SSA feels that the program
would not be feasible on a vol
untary basis.
2. The powerful postal en-
ploye unions led by the Ma
tional Association Of Letter
Carriers and the National Fed
Grafton Of Post ONCE Clerks
are opposed to the plan.
Extra Pay Deduction
The postal groups base their
opposition on several factors.
Since Government and postal
workers would also have to pay
the Social Security tax, which
eventually will amount to
about 4 per cent of salary,
they declare that most postal
workers won't be able to afford
lit.
They point out that en-
ployes already pay SIS per cent
of salary for Civil Service re-
tirement benefits.
They also feel that the
added cost to the Government
OF Social Security coverage fol
Federal and postal employees
would eventually result in Con-
greSS combining the Civil Serv-
ice retirement and Social Sc
curity systems or reducing the
Civil Service BENEFITS. This
would adversely affect en-
ployes, since the Civil Service
retirement system is Infinitely
better than Social Security
postal leaders declare.
They feel that added bene-
fits can be secured through the
Civil Service retirement sys-
tenn without increasing the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-10-03

cost to employees. They de-
clare it isn't realistic to ex-
pect Congress to approve add
ing all Of Social Security's
BENEFITS on top of the Civil
Service retirement benefits en-
joyed by Federal workers.
To Seek Liberalization
What they will seek is liberal
ization Of the Civil Service re-
tirement system to erase the
few situations where Social Sc
curity now gives better cover
age. For example. at present
the family Of a Federal employe
who dies with less than five
years Of Government service is
not entitled to any survivor
benefits. Social Security does
provide this protection, regard
less of length Of service.
Also. the postal leaders want
an interchange of credit given
for Government and outside
employment. so that postal and
Federal employees can get the
maximum protection possible
under either Civil Service re-
tirement or Social Security.
3. Another reason that sup

erage seems remote is the pri-
mary defeat Of the sponsor Of
the bill. Representative Teller
Democrat of New York. Mr.
Teller had sponsored the bill in
the last few Congresses anc
worked enthusiastically on it,

The District has been given
a June 80 deadline to make
firm site decisions on its
planned public housing projects.
If the deadline is not met,
it was reported yesterday, a
commitment for Federal aid to
finance the projects will be
cancelled.
At stake are Government
loans and subsidies now ear
marked for about 1000 addi-
tional dwelling units planned
by the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority.
The deadline notice was made
public after the Commissioners
conferred on the matter with
James Ring, director of the
housing authority.
Mr.. Ring said the Public
Housing Administration had
notified NCHA earlier this
month that without specie
project plans it cannot con-
slider an extension beyond June
80" of a 1856 agreement to re-
serve the Federal money.
At that time, Mr.. Ring ex-
planned. NCHA filed papers to
reserve the loans and grants for
1.500 additional public housing
units. None have been built, but
three sites, on which a total of
408 units will be constructed,
have been approved.
