staff in the field of Federal pay,
indicates that agencies should
have direct control to adjust
the pay Of employees for the
purpose Of attracting and re-
tanning able personnel, without
waiting for CSC approval. Also
the agencies would have more
leeway within the grade-steps
in making pay adjustments.
All this would be subject
later to csc post-audit and
the agencies would have to
make annual reports to Con-
greSs detailing their pay ac-
tions. And. Of course. Congress
still would have the overall au-
thority for making general pay
adjustments for all Govern
ment workers.
PAY HEARINGS - Federal
and postal pay raise hearings
will be resumed by the House
Civil Service Committee on
Tuesday when more postal and
Government employe leaders
testify.
Every effort is being made
by the committee to wind UP

recess the middle of April.
There now have been more
than 90 pay raise bills spon-
sored In the House since

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 4 (AP) A late Fri
day rally lifted wheat futures narrowly
higher for the week but the market
otherwise continued its downward
trend.
Most grains were of Ia cents a
bushel or more in spots while soy
beans finished only slightly easier.
Weather was the major consideration
in the unusually slow trade, probably
the smallest volume for any compar-
able period in many months. Frequent
rain over much OF the Midwest corn
belt and muddy fields provided the
only bullish influence but 1t was dis
counted abruptly with clearing wealth.

A BRAINSTORM
HELPED NE EARN

BY a Wall Street Journal
Subscriber

Not long ago I went to a college
reunion. l spent some time with
some chaps who were having a
"brainstorm"-a talk-festwhere
each man contributes his own
ideas on a certain subject.
The subject of this particular
discussion was MONEY!
There was one man in the
group who earned more than all
the rest of us, but he wouldn't
talk. So we ganged up on him
and kept shooting questions at
him. Finally, he opened up and
gave us some wonderful ideas.
can't remember all he said,
but one bit of advice l do recall.
He said, Subscribe to The Wall
Street Journal. 1t will help you
get ahead"
Well, to make a long fstory
short, l tried it, and 1T DID.
Within a short time, my income
was up to $3.50 a week.
Fhis story is typical. If you
think The Wall Street Journal
is just for millionaires, you are
wrong. The Journal helps sal
aried men making $500 to
S25, a year. 1t is valuable to
small business men. 1t can be of
enormous benefit to the ambi-
tious young man who wants to
win advancement.
The Wall Street Journal is
the complete business DAILY.
Has largest staff of writers on
business and finance. The only
business paper served by all
three big press associations. 1t

OBLIGATION TO KNOW
NS@S~g

There was time when it was the rule,
rather than the exception, to be poorly in
formed about matters other than those in
ones immediate areas of concern. Relative
ly few persons knew much about national
affairs. Even fewer could engage in intelli-
gent, informed discussion of foreign affairs
This has changed, though not as much
as is widely supposed Americans are gener
ally better informed than they were before
the days of radio, television and almost uni
versal newspaper leadership. The opportun-
tiles to inform oneself are vastly greater than
they were generation ago. Yet many Am
ericans continue to take the easy way of
keeping their heads in the sand instead of
looking about and trying to understand the
winds of change that sweep the modern
world.
1t is still possible for an American citizen
to get along pretty well in his daily life with
out knowing much about what is going on
To do so is becoming more than ever renun-
citation of full citizenship, however. The obli-
cation to learn, to evaluate, to form opinions
about the conduct of foreign and domestic
affairs, can no longer. be evaded in good con-
science.
Few persons can afford the time required
to be thoroughly informed. All who fancy
themselves good citizens must take the time
to gain at least elementary understanding OF
the issues before u.s. Nothing less than that
can be regarded as fulfllment of the indi-
viduaps basic obligation in democracy.

I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY Elaine townsend DickersoI

like fun? Guess it will be March
before we're on our way. but both
of us are really looking forward to
it.
Today was DENTIST day for us.
Our Oldest daughter, who is al
most thirteen, is religious about
attending to her teeth. Our middle
child is not quite ten and she cares
less about a pearly smile. So off
we hied ourselves to the dentist to-
day and told Dawn that the man in
the white frock coat would prob
ably tell her she's Just about to
lose every tooth in her head Lynne
exited first from the chair and he
announced that she had four tiny
cavities. Dawn marched into the
back room next and | could just
hear the dollar bills racking up
for this new dentist. Out she
walks with smirk on her face and
told me the news before words from
the dentist said. "She only had one
cavity, Mrs. Dickerson." Now how
to you explain that one to a child!
This coming Tuesday I'm sup
pose to deliver a five minute
speech to the Speakers Club at the
base. My topic is to be of my own
choosing and / expect to tell them
about my eight years of letter
writing to you and the fun it has
been. Have done nothing toward
preparing for it and must get down
to that right away. I'm taking
guest with me that day for lunch
con at the club and 1 hope not to
mortify her with a sloppy address.
This girl is a medical doctors wife
from in town and / have met her
through our Methodist church. She
is from Pennsylvania and being
from the east coast provided us
with our first common bond.
Until next week then.
Always,
Elaine Townsend Dickerson
