committee also approved the
nomination of Berl I. Bernhard
for promotion to the post of

Committee members said
there was little debate before

an expected Senate fight over
the civil rights issue.
Mr.. Robinson. dean of the
Howard University Law School
here, has been active as q law

Colored People in arguing civil
rights cases in the courts. He
was the main subject of South

Senator Eastland, Democrat
Of Mississippi, the committee
chairman, announced he will
oppose all three nominations in
the Senate.
Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, has argued
that appointing Mr.. Robinson
to the commission was equiva-
lent to choosing lawyer from
one side of a lawsuit to sit as
a judge in the case.
The commissions authority
is scheduled to expire this year
unless Congress passes legisla-
ton extending it. The commits

file a final report under exist

The administration is con-
Quoting a number of pay stud
les designed to improve the
methods of fixing the pay of
all groups of Government en-
ployes.
The Budget Bureau along
with the Civil Service Com
mission and other interested
agencies is studying whether
to recommend to Congress that
classified and postal employe
salaries be automatically re-
viSed each year based on the
annual Bureau of Labor Sta
tiStics' figures which compared
Classification Act salaries with
comparable jobs in industry.
The first BIS report came
out last November and will be
isued each fall from now on.
The CSC is also making stud
les of the Classification Act
itself to see whether it should
be overhauled, with the num-
ber of grades reduced, more
leeway given agencies in fixing
pay and more flexibility in the
entire pay structure when it
comes to fixing salaries.
The csc and the Budget
Bureau is also studying the
Executive Pay Act in regards
to the salaries of cabinet Of
ficers, agency and bureau
heads, to determine recommen-
dations on making upward ad-
justmentS of these salaries. For
example, at present some en-
ployes under the Classification
Act draw higher salaries than
officials under the Executive
Pay Act. Also, the Kennedy
administration has found diff
ficulty in perSuading top-flight
citizens to take key jobs at
present Executive Act pay
scales.
The pay structure of per diem
(blue collar) Federal workers
whose pay is fixed by wage
board also is being studied by
the csc.
OF course, there were a num-
ber of pay studies undertaken
by the Eisenhower administra-
ton which came to naught.
