President Kennedy has fin

Indications are that Gen.

There was speculation that
Gen. Walker will ask to retire.

entitled to retire If he wishes.
It could not be learned

A top employe leader has
charged the Budget Bureau
with assuming powers never
intended for it in opposing
beneficial Federal employe
legislation.
jerome Keating, vice presi-
dent of the National Associa-
tion of Letter Carriers, said the
bureau has become the fourth
branch of Government" al
though the Constitution pro-
vides for only three-the Pres
Ident Executive Branch), the
Congress and the Judiciary.
Mr.. Keating said that al
though there has been a
change in administrations, the
career "statisticians" in the
Budget Bureau continue to call
the turn on Federal employe
legislation.
Writing in the NALC's
monthly magazine, Mr.. Keat-
ing implied that President
Kennedy hasn't even seen or
been advised on the adverse re-
ports that the Budget Bureau
has submitted on such bills as
30-year retirement, increased
life insurance, liberalized pos
tai longevity pay, etc. While
Mr.. Kennedy makes his own
decision on major legislation,
the Budget Bureau represents
its own viewpoint" on second
ary legislation such as bills in
volving Government workers,
he said.
Despite the change in ad-
ministrations and the fact that
there is a new Budget Director
David BelD, there is a "con-
tinuing philosophy" of opposi-
ton to employe measures, Mr..
Heating said.
He indicated that various
Federal agencies such as the
Civil Service Commission, which
has a direct stake in Federal
employe matters, cannot make
its own independent decisions
on the merit of legislation in
volving Government workers

see the automobile continue to
swallow valuable downtown
land.
Out there, he said. the people
have "revolted" against more
freeways.
There are IS 0square miles
Of land area in the city of San
Francisco" the rapid rail pro-
ponent said in an interview.
Half Of this area is already
Government-owned. This has
brought about growing resist
ance against removal Of taxable
land for the auto"
Instead, he said, the rapid
transit authority has come UP
with engineering plans for a
120-mile subway and rapid rail
system to cost more than 81
billion.
The test Of the peoples anti
freeway revolution is coming
next year when Mr.. Pierce's
agency goes to the voters with
a proposal for a 81 billion-plus
bond issue to pay for the sys-
tenn.
The plan also requires ap-

PAY AND RATES-The
hopes Of Post Office De-
p a artment officials for a
postal rate increase this year
are bolstered by the statement
of Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield that he will do every
thing in his power to get the
Senate to approve the measure
before adjournment. The
chances have always been good
that the House will approve the
bill this year.
The chief obstacle to Senate
approval this year has been
the coolness toward such legis-
lation by Chairman Johnston
OF the Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committee and
several other key members. But
the Kennedy administration
seems determined to push the
postal rate increase through
this year, and this was re-
Elected in Senator Mansfield's
statement on the Senate floor.
Senate Republican Leader
DirkSen also announced his
support of postal rate increases.
Thus, Senator Johnston and
his committee may have no
other alternative but to take
up the bill after the House
acts on it.
Federal classified as well as
postal workers have a vital
stake in the outcome of the
postal rate legislation. Since
postal rate increases have
usually been closely linked with
postal pay raises, a rate in
crease would undoubtedly help
a postal pay raise drive in
Congress next year. Federal
classified employees are in
volved because their pay has
always been raised whenever
postal employees received pay
raises.

General Motors Chairman
Frederic G. Donner today
labeled discriminatory" pro-
posed legislation to prevent
auto manufacturers from fl
nancing sales Of their cars and
inSuring the vehicles.
''Tts target avowedly is Cen
eral Motors" Mr.. Donner said
in testimony prepared for the
House Antitrust Subcommit-
tee.
Lee Loevinger, Assistant At
torney General in charge Of the
antitrust division, has told the
subcommittee that GINS own
ership Of GMAC, "the largest
sales finance company in the
world" gives GIN important
competitive advantages over
other auto manufacturers.
In his attack on the bill, Mr..
Donner said that for some
years GMAC has accounted for
only about one-fifth Of retail
auto credit extended in the
United States. He also disputed
any claim that GIN subsidies
GMAC and denied that either
occupies monopoly positions in
their fields.
Hits at Sponsors
Mr.. Donner said the leeisla-
ton Is sponsored by certain
sales finance companies who
apparently wish to insulate
themselves from the rigors Of
effective and fair competition. I"
The GIN executive also ques-
toned the bills constitutional
ity and said it would be ''par-
ticularly arbitrary" to act
against auto manufacturers
while other manufacturers op-
crate finance companies.
The result Of the legislation,
he said, could be higher finance
charges for dealers and re-
tail auto purchasers. This, in
turn, would tend to increase
the overall cost of motor We
hicles to consumers and thus
reduce sales and employment,
he said.
