PAY STRATEGY-A giant
pay raise rally will be staged
by the various postal and
white-collar Government en-
ploye unions of the AFL-CIO
late next month or in early
March.
Thousands Of postal and
classified employees from all
over the country will converge
on Washington to attend the
rally and to visit their Sena-
tors and Representatives to en-
list their support for pay raise
legislation. A similar rally was
successful two years ago.
Meanwhile, the AFL-CIO
Government Employees Coun-
Gil, the co-ordinated group of
all the AFL-CIO postal and
Federal employe unions, meets
today to put final touches on
the pay raise proposals it will
present to Congress.
The unions will ask for about
a l2 per cent average raise,
although actually the expecta-
tion is that Congress will ap-
prove about half that amount.
In addition, the classified
and postal employe groups will
seek additional longevity steps,
with higher amounts for each
longevity boost. The postal
groups also want clerks and
carriers to be assigned to
salary level 5 instead of the
present level 4. The classified
groups also want the within
step increases automatically
given to classified workers
raised in amount.

Three Senators today pro-
posed adding political contribu-
tons to the list of income tax
deductions as a means of en-
couraging more citizens to sup
port political parties.
Democratic Senators Clark of
Pennsylvania and Neuberger Of
Oregon Joined in offering one
amendment to a pending elec-
ton reform bill. limited to a
$40 tax credit.
Senator Kefauver. Democrat
Of Tennessee, offered a sepa-
rate plan to permit either a
$40 tax credit, or a $1o0 deduc-
ton for campaign contributions.
A tax credit is a fiat sum
subtracted from the total in
come tax due. A tax deduction
would be one more item on the
list of expenditures the tax
payer uses to arrive at his tax
able income. For the average
citizen a 500 deduction is
equivalent TO a $40 tax credit.
Defeat Expected
AS the Senate began its sec
ond day Of debate on the cleo
tions bill, all signs pointed to
defeat Of another amendment
seeking to bring primaries un-
der the same Federal controls
On elections. The Senate hopes
to, begin voting today and TO
pass the bill by tomorrow.
The outlook is not good for
adoption of the tax credit
amendments. Chairman Byrd
Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee said these amendments
would merely take part of the
campaign funds from -the
Treasury, and he would oppose
them.

Mr.. Brown commented, In
view of the decisive defeat Of

the county should propose no
new bond issue until there is
evidence of a vigorous demand
for it from the citizens and
from all civic groups.
Also, I would not want to
call for a referendum until the
county manager has reviewed
all the county's needs and bal
anced the package with proper
priorities. I don't favor lifting
out these projects until the
county manager has recon-
mended on all the needs. -

people how want it I have an

want to hear from the civic

county's eighth graders do not
graduate from high school, Mr..
Walker said, explaining that
the new program is designed
to give them the training they
want and need.
Improvement Of school
grounds has long been a sore
point at school board meetings,
where board members heard
complaints of muddy fields. in
adequate walkways and poor
drainage.
No Money for Grounds
The situation occurred be-
cause the school board spent
all its money trying to house
the increasing number of chill
dren. There was not enough
money left over to fix the
grounds.
AS Joan Butler, school board
member, has pointed out: THE
last bond issue was to house
$4,000. We're now housing al
most 10000"
Complaints in some quarters
Of the county have been voiced
because bond issue items will
not be voted on separately to
give the people a chance to
vote for exactly what they
want.
The Citizens for School
Bonds pointed out that it would
be unwise to separate the parts
of the program because it
might jeopardize other parts.
Schools without Equipment
They explained: "what good
would % new schools be with
out the equipment required for
their operation? OF what value
would be funds for erecting and
equipping schools without the
money to buy sites on which
to put the buildings?
Some claim that the school
board would be given a blank
check for a great deal Of
money.
Bond issue advocates said
this is not so. The school ad-
ministration proposals must be
passed on not only by the
school board but by the Board
Of County Supervisors.
"Tl1is check will be careful
ly scrutinizcd before its signed
and countersigned," the Citi-
zens for School bonds said. The
supervisors are answerable to
the electorate and the school
board members are answerable
to the supervisors, the Citizens
for School Bonds added.
The big danger bond issue
proponents fear is satisfied par
ents who now have :airly good
schools for their children.
The school administration
has warned that If the bond
issue fails, the schools will be
in deep trouble. with makeshift
or rented classrooms and
double shifts.
The chief opposition to the
bond issue seemingly will come
from the Fairfax County Tax
payers Alliance, which will
hold a public forum at 8 pm
tomorrow at the Fairfax Court
House. The Alliances bond
committee is scheduled to pre-
sent arguments against the
