The subcommittee was set I'D

to uncover any scandals, in
efficient testing or poor con-

The Oklahoma hearing de-

ployes, particularly scientists

Congress, however, in the past
has always baked at giving any
special advantage in pay raises
to this group. It has always
been more politically popular to
give the bulk Of the raises to
the more numerous rank-and-
file classified employees.
One possibility is that Con-
gress might establish a separate
pay schedule for Government
professional employees which
would include scientists and en-
gineers. Such q separate sched-
ule had been in effect but was
abolished about 10 years ago
when scientists and engineers

|lower-level pay and more COM
petitiye salaries at the higher
level-the Federal Government
will be forced to rely at best
on mediocre management and
professional talent. particularly
in the scientific fields"
The administration charged
that the surveys findings make
it obvious" that Congress &C
ton this year in approving
the rs per cent pay raise over
President Eisenhower's veto
mot only accentuated inequities
in the structure, but has also
raised substantially the cost Of
providing q salary structure
reasonably comparable with
that Of private business.
The White House report con-
tinued:
This is so because Of the
increased overpayments in GER
tain positions, particularly in
the lower grades, combined
with the necessity Of logical
internal salary alignment hav-
ing reasonable step increases
within grades and differentials
between grades. It is clear that
certain occupations would re-
Quire much greater increases
than others in order to attain
reasonable compatibility with
the salaries paid in private
business"
The administration asserted
that the BIS report points to
the necessity" OF creating q
Federal Pay Commission, as
proposed by Mr.. Eisenhower in
the last few years to Congress,
to study the Government salary
structure and recommend an
overhauling in fixing Federal
employe salaries.
How Survey Was Made
The BIS gathered its in
dustry pay figures in go metro
politan centers throughout the
country. For its 1861 report, 1t
will survey SO key areas
throughout the country.
During this years initial
study. n different types Of in
dustry jobs comparable to
those Of Government were sur
veyed.
Many observers feel that the
annual BIS reports could revo-
lutionize the system Of fixing
the salaries Of Government
classified and postal workers
(even though the survey did
not include the pay Of indus
try jobs comparable to postal
poSitionS).
Heretofore. Congress always
has given across-the- board
raises to all classified and pos
tai employees each time 1t ap-
proved salary increases.
The BIS annual reports,
breaking down each job ac-
cording to comparable indus
try salary. could lead to q
more selective method Of ad-
justing Government pay. with
the greatest portion Of salary
increases given to those which
lag behind industry in salary.
The BIS report could con-
ceivably pave the way for re-
vising the fixing of pay for

The Census Bureau maintains
a running estimate of the total

How close this is to the final

until some time this fall. While
preliminary population totals for
communities will be given out
locally starting late this month,
state totals won't be published un-
til after the summer.
Constitution Requires Census
The Constitution requires a CEN
sus every 10 years. The basic pur-
pose is to decide how many seats
each state shall have in the House
of Representatives, based on pop
ulation. The prospective realign-

Biggest Real Estate
Bargain Commemorated
By Alaska Congressman

WASHINGTON, a. It was SO
years ago Wednesday that the
United States closed the deal to
acquire Alaska from Russia, Sen.
Bob Bartlett reminded the Senate.
The treaty to buy Alaska for
$7,200,000, he said, was the biggest
real estate bargain in history =
about two cents an acre.
Alaskans observed the day to
commemorate the signing of the
treaty in 1857 by William Seward,
Secretary of State.
II am proud" said Bartlett in a
statement, "to pay tribute to this
American statesman whose deeds
and memory will live and be re-
membered so long as the United
States continues to exist.
1T was Seward who first, to
my knowledge, predicted ultimate
Statehood for Alaska. He was pro-
phetic."
Rep. Ralph Rivers called at
tention to Alaska's strategic posi-
ton in the nations defenses be-
cause it is so close to Russia.
without the foresight and driv-
ing energy of Seward in obtain
ing the treaty of cession from
Russia, we would not have the
flag with the shining 49th star
and the security it represents to
our nation" Rivers said.

French Explode
Nuclear Bomb
Fright Under
Mr.. KS Nose"
BY RICHARD X. o'MALLEY

PARIS, tR = France today held
it's second nuclear test explosion
under the nose of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev. ass
The blast in the western Sa-
hara constituted another pointed
French rebuff for the Soviet Pre-
mier, meeting today and Saturday
with President De Gaulle outside
Paris for final talks. Khrushchev
leaves for Moscow Sunday.
In the past two days Khrush-
chew had twice spoken out against
further nuclear explosions by any
nation, including France. De
Gaulle in effect rejected the So
Wet Premier's call, just as he
earlier contradicted Khrushchev's
contention that West Germany is
bent on new aggression to avenge
the World War II defeat.
Informed sources said Khrush-
chew was told in advance the bomb
would be exploded and that the
test was not timed to coincide
with his visit. 1t was explained to
him that the test date would have
been after he left France, but his
attack of influenza delayed his
trip more than a week.
The sources said Khrushchev
repeated his opposition to all nu-
clear explosions but accepted the
French explanation.
The exlosion also underlined De
Gaulle's insistence that the Soviet
Union as we'll as the Western AL
lies recognize France as their
equal in world councils.
There was no immediate public
reaction from Khrushchev, who
was secluded with De Gaulle at
the Presidential chateau outside
Paris.
A communique said the device
exploded was plutonium bomb
of much smaller size than the
first French plutonium bomb set
of February Is and of Limited
power. The first bomb had a
force of about 10000 tons of TINT,
about three times more power
full than the first u. S. atomic
bomb dropped on Hiroshima in
1915.

WASHINGTON. Up = The 1860
census army was on the march
today, asking questions about the
Dwight D. Eisenhowers and the
John Smiths.
The door-to-door canvass,
vast undertaking that is attempted
only once in 10 years, will con-
tinue until census workers per-
sonally visit each of the SIS million
households in the United States.
Washington's most fashionable
residence, the White House, was
one of the first stops on the sched-
ule. Census Director Robert Bur-
CESS and District Census Super
visor Louis Alexis were given an
early appointment to collect from
President Eisenhower the census
information about the first family.
Alexis and Burgess spent five
minutes with the President. Ac-
cording to Census Bureau esti-
mates, this is about as long as
the census takers visit should last
at any home.

howers prepared their census re-
port in advance, jotting down the

Religious Issue
Comes to Fore In
Wisconsin Primary

MILWAUKEE, Wis, R-Rivals
in the Wisconsin Democratic Pres
idential primary, re-established
today at least a temporary truce
on the touchy religious issue.
The man who injected it full
scale into the campaign battle
between Senators Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota and John
Kennedy of Massachusetts, said:
II intended to help Humphrey.
but maybe l made mistake and
hurt him."
That was Charles P. Greene, a
former Democratic state chairman
speaking up. A small ad he had
inserted in weekly newspapers
across the state set off the big
gest uproar of the campaign yes
terday.
It sought to muster Protestant
support behind Humphrey against
his Roman Catholic opponent.
Greene said persons in Wisconsin
and Florida whom he did not wish
to name had put up $1,400 to fl
nance the ad, and nobody in the
Humphrey organization was con-
suited about the matter.
Both Humphrey and Kennedy
denounced the ad. Each exoner-
ated the other of bringing the is
sue into the forefront of the
campaign.
Gov. Gaylord Nelson ordered
his attorney general to determine
whether the ad violated corrupt
practices or false advertising laws.
In the first real political show
down of 1860, Kennedy and Hum
phrey are struggling in next
Tuesdays primary for 80 of the
votes Wisconsin delegates will cast
in the Democratic National Con-
vention in July.
Except under questioning, both
Humphrey and Kennedy have
avoided discussing the religious
factor - that Kennedy is Cath
Ollie. Wisconsin is more heavily
Catholic than the country as a
whole, and voters can jump party
lines in the primary to vote reli-
gious rather than political convic-
tons if they choose.
The deaction was quick and Wig
orous when the ad appeared in
many of the 250-odd weekly
newspapers in Wisconsin.
In effect, it appealed for Port
estant support for Humphrey on
grounds that Republican Catholics
might hop into the Democratic
primary in sufficient force to "de-
termine who the Democratic NOM
inee for President shall be-"
