MACY's STATUS - The
White House still has not yet
sent to the Senate the nomina-
ton of John w. Macy, jr. to be
the chairman of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, but this Is due
to the fact that it has not yet
received the full-scale FBI in
vestigative report on Mr.. Macy.
The FBI check is routine but
thorough. and it investigates
every presidential appointee be-
fore his name is sent to the
Senate for confirmation.
The FBI report on Mr.. Macy
Is expected momentarily, after
which the White House will
send his nomination to the
Senate which will promptly ap-
prove it. Meanwhile. Mr.. Macy
has taken over at the CSC on
an unofficial basis-and most
important to him, without pay.
His salary doesn't start until
the Senate confirms him.

COP. Aid on
Slump Action


President Kennedy is press
ing Republicans to cooperate
IN taking fast action on his pro-
posalS to combat the recession.
He told his news conference
last night he win exert every
effort" to obtain cooperation
Of both Republican and DEM
ocratic congressional leaders to
push for early enactment Of
his program. He said informa-
ton on the economic situation
has been made available to
both parties, but he did not
indicate that he planned to
confer with g. o. P. leaders.
Declaring that it is neither
necessary or desirable to mini |
mize the seriousness Of the re-
cession, the President contended |
action must be taken this win
ter. He warned against debat-
ing into the spring on his anti
recession program.
Cites Indications |
Mr.. Kennedy cited these eco
nomic indicators as evidence
that q recession is in progress:
About l million unsold autos
in inventory, SIS million or
more workers unemployed, the
steel industry operating at only
about so per cent Of capacity
more than 900. 900 jobless work.
ers who have exhausted their
eligibility for unemployment
compensation benefits, and a
declining rate Of economic
growth since last spring.
ut is necessary for us to
take action" he said, adding
that unemployed workers need
our help"
He urged prompt congress
sional action on these five pro-
grams. which he has recon.
mended in messages to Capitol
Hill:
Temporary extension of un-
employment compensation ben
efits for jobleSs workers who
have exhausted their eligibility,
public assistance for needy |
children Of unemployed work.
ers, aid for chronically de-
pressed areas, an increase in
the minimum wage from 81 to
$l.25 an hour, with extension
OF coverage, and increased
social security benefits.
Other proposals will be sub
mitted to Congress later, the
President said.
Lists Actions
He listed several executive
actions by the administration
most Of which had been an
nounced previously:
Accelerated distribution Of
about $4 billion of income tax
refunds. early disbursements of
more than $3.50 million Of vet
eran'S life insurance dividends,
commitments Of $700 million
this month for Polaris sub
marines and airlift capability,
a Speed-up Of Post Office con-
struction, SIS million Of addi-
tional loans to farmers.
Also, early ALLEGATION of $724
million Of highway funds, with
a plea to Governors asking
them to speed up highway con-
struction and broadened eligi-
bility for award Of defense
contracts under the Small Busi-
ness Administration program.
Mr.. Kennedy said failure of
the economy to recover fully
from the 1878 recession be-
fore the current downturn be-
gan compounds our difficult
ties" He insisted that the word /
recession" is none too strong
to describe the current eco
nomic slump.
He reiterated his view that
1t would be best for the Com
merce Department to run the
proposed program of aid for
depressed area. but that he
would accede If Congress de-
cided to create a separate
agency to handle the program.
