Belgians to Protect Own
The troops from Ghana will
be housed in the main military
camp in Leopoldville, presum-
ably moving in as the Belgians
move out. When the Belgians
would leave was problematical,
however,
Belgian officials emphasized
they would protect their ma
tionalS until U. N. forces can
assume order and the danger
is past. Then the Belgian SOL
diers will return to Belgium or
to bases they occupy by treaty
with the Congo. m
Gen. Henry r. Alexander, a
Briton who commands the
Ghana Army, was eager to get
his troops into position as soon
as possible to calm the excit-
able Congolese, but he was
having trouble finding trans
port from the airport to the
city.

ers.
Mr.. Campbell alluded to the
fact that there was q strong
effort made in Congress to drop
classified employees from the
bill and give the increase only
to the heavily unionized postal
workers. The Age chief
warned that. unless classified
employees band together into
one strong union. they face
the prospect. Of "substandarS
pay and working conditions"
in the future. .s,
$40 @
REASONS GIvEN-In his
letter Mr.. Campbell told the
various non-postal union presi-
dents:
1.-THE recent legislative cam
paign which eliminated in
overriding the Presidents veto
of pay increases for classified
and postal employees provided
a striking demonstration Of the
necessity for organization Of
classified employees. There were
determined efforts in the House
Civil Service Committee and on
the floor Of the Senate to elimi-
nate classified employees from
the pay bill. \
"These efforts were not sue
cessful but they are a warning
to classified employees that they
must join together in a strong
union or be content with sub
standard pay and working con-
ditionS.
"1t has been proved time and
again that no organization
working alone can adequately
represent its members in the
Federal work force. Two basic
elements Of organization are
members and money. No single
organization of Government
employees has enough Of either
to do the job.
THAT is why we are affili-
ated with the AFL-CIO. That
is why we have a Government
Employees Council composed of
"a national and international
unions which have members
who are Government employees.
The Government Employees
Council has done a remarkable
job Of improving benefits end
working conditions for Federal
employees. But it is not get
ting the support it needs from
classified employees.
There are too many So
called independent organiza-
tons Of classified employees. BY
forming these small groups,
classified employees dissipate
their strength and dilute their
influence.
"The debate that took place
on the Senate floor on June II
should be must reading for
every classified employee. This
debate clearly points out the
need for q single, strong union
Of classified employees to join
with unions representing other
segments Of the Federal work
force in promoting our common
aims.
