King Island Dancers To Represent Alaska At C21 Exposition


 Seattle's Worlds Fair officials have advised Gov. Vim. Egan that July ', 1862, has been designated as Alaska Day at the Century 21 Exposition.
 The new date represents a change from a previous designa- tion of April 26 which had been tentatively agreed to by the Gov ernor in correspondence with fair officials and Gov. Al Rosellini of Washington.
 Egan said the change was made at the request of fair officials to coincide with the planned visit to the exposition of a group of King Island Eskimo dancers.
 The King Islanders would like financial support to arrive in Seat tie under their own power, which would be in two oomiaks with nutboard motors. They would like to make the trip from some port in Southeastern Alaska.

Satellite Tracking Station Set Up Near Fairbanks

WASHINGTON R The key station in new satellite tracking global network has been built near Fairbanks and is being test ed, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Mon- day.
 The second of the power sta- tions, each with saucer-shaped antenna 85 feet in diameter, will be at Rosnan, NC, 40 miles southwest of Asheville.
 The stations, costing more than $5 million each, are equipped with Thigh gain' or ultra sensitive antenna.
 They will form NASA's data acquisition network, a powerful receiving system to gather infor- nation sent by variety of "sec- ond generation" satellites.
 From such future spacecraft as orbiting astronautical obsarva- and orbiting geophysical observa- tories the stations will record data on magnetic tape. Computers will translate this into new informa- tion on the nature of other bodies in space.
 The new Alaskan station, at Gilmore Creek 20 miles from Fairbanks. will operate on a KY" mount that will provide full sky coverage except for eight degrees on the horizon.
 The network will be operated under NASA contract by the Uni versity of Alaska's Geophysical Institute. The stations will con- tain considerable automatic equip- ment so operating crews will be small.
 Also under construction by NASA near Fairbanks is another receiving station, with aia 85-foot dish antenna, designed primarily for use in tracking and receiving radio telemetry data from Nirn- bus weather satellites of the fu- ture.
 The first Nimbns, improved sue cessor to the Tiros cloud photo graphing satellite will be launched in the latter half of 1862. The Fairbanks station will command as well as listen to the new wealth CT satellites and will be "our only source of contact with Nim- bus" Goddard spokesman said.
 Neither of the huge Fairbanks installations is to be confused with, or has any connection with, the huge Ballistic Missile Early Warning Station at Clear or the other BMEWS stations in Green land and northern England. The BMEWS stations are Air Force owned and operated, and are part or the US. military defense sys- tenn as contrasted with the civil ian scientific programs of NASA. .2s f

CRITICAL - Although most
Government and postal en-
ploye union leaders are gen.
orally satisfied with the task
force report on or-manage-
ment relations in Government
and President Kennedy's forth
coming executive order embody-
ing the proposals, District A of
the International Association
of MachinistS is not.
William H. Ryan, president
of the Federal employe branch
of the lam, declared: II am
bitterly disappointed. The task
force recommendations do not
come anywhere near meeting
the hopes the President has
raised that at long last a mod
ern system of labor-manage-
ment relations would be estab-
lished for Federal employees.
Mr.. Ryan called the proposals
weak and ineffective"
Mr.. Ryan said the proposals
contain no effective provision
to assure good faith negotia-
tion or enforcement of agree
ments." He also charged that
unions would not have any
voice in defining a bargaining
unit.
Mr.. Ryan also declared that
Government employe unions
should have recourse to bind
ing arbitration in disputes in
volving negotiations or enforce
ment Of a union contract" He
criticized the fact that arbitra-
ton is not provided for in
these matters.
Another criticism made by
Mr.. Ryan is that the union
agency dealings will be primar-
lily on a local or unit level and
not on department-wide or a
Government-wide basis.
Taks force members acknowl-
edge that their proposals are
far from perfect. But they feel
it is a good beginning and
that the presidential executive
order can be revised from time
to time to make 1t more ef-
fective.

With flight pay, the lieutenant
generals take home pay would
be $lS,846.
y How Major General Fares
Similarly, Deputy Defense
Secretary Roswell Gilpatrick
earns $22.500 a year. After his
taxes, retirement, life insur-
ance and health insurance de-
ductions he takes home $15,-
764. A major general earns
$18,827 a year-almost $4,000
less than Mr.. Gilpatric-but
he takes home $15,723, only SAL
less in take-home pay.
The comparisons continue
down the scale. A brigadier
general earns $16,727 and takes
home $14,201. An assistant sec
retary earns $4,000 but takes
home $l4,296.
A grade GS-18 civilian en-
ploye-the top of the CLASH
fication Act scale-earns $18,-
500. He takes home $13,374. A
colonel with flight pay takes
home more-$13,646. though he
earns much less-$16,121.
A majof or lieutenant COM
mander earns $9,438 and takes
home $8,431 of it. A GS-12
civilian employe earns $9,553
but takes home only $7,434.
A GS-5 civilian employe
earns $4.923, keeps $4,014 of it,
A sergeant, first class, earns
S4845 but gets to keep $4,640.
This not to suggest that mill
itary personnel are not deserv-
ing of another pay raise. They
have not had one since 1855
and living costs have gone up
since then.
However, the defense report
is expected to prove of i'm
portant value to civilian en-
ploye union leaders in present
ing their case for a pay raise
to Congress next year, stress
ing that in the all-inportant
matter of take-home pay they
trail the military.
AS for military personnel, the
Defense Department does MOI
seem inclined to seek a pay
raise for them next year. How.
ever, it will seek an increase
in quarters allowances. Since
military personnel do not have

Advocated in
Revising Law
BY J. A. O'LEARY
Star staff Writer

The United States Chamber
OF Commerce and the Commit,
tee for Economic Development,
went on record today for new
foreign trade legislation with
proper safeguards for indus,
tries seriously affected by tariff
cuts. Z
Speaking for the chamber
A. B. Sparboe called for a trade
policy that would provide oui
Government with adequate bar
gaining authority to make ef-
fective" trade agreements.
Theodore v. Houser of the
CED, said there should be ar
overall decision to reduce the
total tariff by a fixed percent
age. but that equal percentage
cuts in all categories is impos-
sible and undesirable.
Support From Labor
The Joint House Senate Eco
nomic subcommittee which
heard this testimony also re-
ceived a statement from Bert
Seidman. economist for the
AFL-CIO, supporting new tariff
cutting authority along the
lines the Kennedy administra-
tion is expected to recommend,
But Mr.. Seidman explained
that the AFL-C1O, now in con-
vention at Miami. has not yet
acted on specific recommenda-
tions.
Another witness today was
Clay Shaw, managing director
Of the International Trade
Mart of New Orleans, who rec
commended the President be
given broad powers to negotiate
with the European Common
Market.
Mr.. Houser testified that
most other developed countries
have more numerous and dis.
criminatory trade restrictions
than has the United States. He
said the new regional arrange
ments in Europe are adding
further determinations against
the United States.
Calls for Concessions
For these reasons, as well
as because of the balance of
payments situation. it is ap-
propriate that other countries
should move faster and farther
in trade liberalization" said
Mr.. HouSer.
He recalled that at the end
of World War II the United
States not only gave direct eco
nomic aid to Europe but per-
mitted Europe to rebuild by
discriminating against dollar
trade. For these reasons he
said it is "only just that the
European countries should
make large concessions to us
now than we make to them in
any further general lowering of
tariffs
Both the CED and Chamber
Of Commerce spokesmen recon-
mended new escape clauses to
deal with serious hardship

A Pentagon pay study is ex-
pected to furnish considerable
ammunition for Government

drive for a Federal pay raise
next year.
The Defense Department
study shows clearly that in
many cases in duties of COM
parable Importance. civil serv-
ice employees draw less take
home pay than their military
counterparts. e>'-. =,
Actually the annual pay
rates of civilian employees in
many cases are higher, But in
the all-important category of
take-home pay, the Defense
Department pay tables show
that the military man is fire.
quently earning less, but he is
taking home more than his ci-
william brethren.
The reason the military man
does better in take-home pay
is that his quarters allowance
is tax-free., A military mans
take home pay is what he has
left from his total earnings aft
er deducting income tax on his
base pay plus Social Security
tax.
Where Military Have Edge
Also, the military man does
not contribute for his retire
ment. The civil service employe
contributes 6l2 per cent of SAL
ary for retirement benefits
Also, medical care for the mill
tary and their dependents, with
few exceptions is free. Federal
employees pay part of the cosN
of their health benefits.
The Defense tables show that
the disparity in pay starts al
the top echelons and extends
downward. The tables assume
that both the military man anc
the civilian employe have 6
wife and two children.
For example. a lieutenant
general has a higher take-homt
pay than the Secretary of De-
fense. Secretary Mcnamara. a
a cabinet officer, earns $25, 900
He gets to keep $l7,174. A lieu
tenant general earning $21, 10
a year takes home $17,483

Germany - President De
Gaulle of France has set his face
against negotiation now with
the Russians to settle the Ber-
lin crisis Premier Khrushchev
manufactured. The French
leader fears negotiation will
mean concession. This could
set West Germany on the trail
to neutraliSm and France,
thereby. would lose what she
considers her one sure buffer
against Soviet communism
Gen. De Gaulle also refuses to
talk under Soviet threats.
/ Mr.. Rusk and Lord Home,
speaking for President Ken
nedy and Prime Minister Mac
milan. counter this argument
by saying war is the almost in
evitable alternative to nego-
tiation over Berlin.
The BritiSh-American hope,
and it has qualified West Ger
man backing. is that Gen. de
Gaulle and Mr.. Couve de Muir
vile will do nothing to stand
in the way Of resumption of
informal discussion Of the dis
pute between their ambassa-
dors in Moscow and the Rus
slams.
Differences Over Africa
Africa-The United States is
giving unstinted support to
United Nations operations
against the secessionist govern
ment of Katanga Province.
The British and French, who
have their own special interests
in Africa. have scarcely con-
cealed their basic sympathy for
the cause Of Katanga President
Noise Tshombe.
Both countries have been ac-
cused Of impeding the U. N.
effort although the British
lately have been emphasizing
their wish to see a united
Congo with Katanga in 1t. But
London and Paris assert the
United Nations has no right to
use force to end the secession
Of Katanga. ss
The Katangan affair has be-
come a hot political issue, not
only in British domestic af-
fairs but also in the world body
whose existence, in the view OF
hieh-up Americans, may be
imperiled unless a satisfactory
solution emerges. Mr.. Rusk is
expected to impress this view
on his colleagues.
