THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Health Insurance Premiums
Frozen Until October, 1862

"I charge the heads of the
executive departments and
agencies and, through them.
their supervisory staffs. to ex-
ert leadership in the establish
ment of vigorous accident pre-
vention programs to achieve
safe conditions of employment,
and to promote safe practices
by civilian and military per-
sonnel on and off duty" the
President declared.
Mr.. Kennedy also directed
Secretary of Labor Goldberg to
provide assistance to depart
mentS and agencies in improv-
ing their programs through the
Federal Safety Council and its
field affiliates.

ANNUITANTS - There is
some uneasineSs among re-
tired Federal employees about
whether they will continue to
get the 10 per cent increase in
annuities voted them on a tenn
porary basis in 1858.
Retirees needn't be uneasy.
The 10 per cent increase will
not lapse at the end of this
month but will continue per-
manently. The House has voted
appropriations to take care of
the increase and the Senate
will follow suit. II the Senate
doesn't act in time, a continu-
ing resolution will be okayed
until the Senate acts. Mean
while, the House has also ap-
proved a bill making the
increases permanent and max
ing special annual appropria-
tionS unnecessary. But in any
event, the 10 per cent increase
is here to stay permanently.

strongly in favor Of the merger,
have told their membership
that the Postal Clerks are in
favor of electing national Of
ficers in future elections
through a mail referendum, the
same method as NPTA has al

Postal Clerk officials declare

LABOR MANAGEMENT
LEGISLATION - Now that it
will be months before President
Kennedy will issue his bargain
ing rights order for Govern
ment employe unions, Federal
and postal employe leaders are
trying to stir up sentiment in
Congress again for legislation
on the subject.
However. there is not much
enthusiasm on Capitol Hill at
this point for such legislation
The feeling is that an execu-
tive order would be the better
approach. Besides, the posta
employe unions have praised
Postmaster General Day sc
highly for dealing and consult
ing with them on all personnel
policies and issues, that some
members of Congress feel that

Although Government en-
ploye premiums for their
health insurance program ben
efits won't be raised for the
new go-round on the health
program starting this october,
Civil Service Commission Of
ficials say it is virtually certain
that the premiums will be
raised in october 1862.
The various health insurance
carriers have agreed not to
raise the premiums being
being charged Federal en-
ployes for the various health
plans going into effect this
October.
Nor will benefits be reduced.
In fact, there will be some
slight improvement in some of
the features of the various
plans, altnough no SuDStanClal
liberalizations.
But the various carriers de-
clare that with the constant
rise of hospital and medical
costs, they will be unable to
hold premiums at their present
rates beyond next year.
Consequently, csc officials
expect that in october, 1862,
when another new round Of
contracts again will go into ef-
feet, there will be an increase
in premiums that Federal en-
ployes will have to pay. The
only alternative would be to
reduce benefits, and nobody in
authority is advocating that.
Meanwhile, for the next Is
months at least, Federal en-
ploye health insurance pre-
miums will remain the same.

the House last night, 235-178,
and the bill approved by the
Senate, 64-25. on June IL, were
substantially the same. Senate
House conferees planned to
meet next week.
Republicans contended that
both measures not only pro-
vided more money than the ad-
ministration requested but also
would cost much closer to SO
billion.
G. o. p. Move Fails
G. o. P. opponents of the
House bill made a last-ditch
attempt to return it to the
Banking and Currency Com
mittee and put through a sub
stitute. Their plan would have
continued existing programs for
one year, limited Federal out
lays to $1.l billion and barred
"back-door spending" such as
Treasury Withdrawals or con-
tract commitments without
specific congressional approval.
The 215-197 roll call showed
80 Democrats joining 158 Re-
publicans for the substitute
while seven Republicans sided
with 208 Democrats to defeat
it. A test vote by tellers earlier
yesterday also rejected the sub
stitute, 197-164.
On the roll call for final
passage last night, 140 Repub-
licans and 80 Democrats
opposed the bill and 210
Democrats and Is Republicans
supported it. In past years on
housing and other key bills
larger numbers of Democrats,
mainly from the South. often
formed a coalition with Re-
publicanS.
The Democratic unity was
an important factor in getting
the bill through the House.
Another factor, emphasized by
the bills floor manager, Rep
resentative Rains, Democrat of
Alabama, was the scope of the
bill. Critics complained it
gave something to every
body" and included a lot Of
programs only indirectly con-
nected with housing.
Still another factor in the
victory. and perhaps the
strongest in persuading some
Democrats to stay in line, was

Dedication Set
For Statue of
Admiral Byrd

Vice President johnson will
dedicate an eight-foot-tal
bronze statue Of the late Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the
polar explorer. at noon tomor-
row near Arlington Cemetery.
The statue, on Memorial ave-
nue. between the Virginia end
Of Memorial Bridge and the
main approach to the ceme-
terry, portrays Admiral Byrd
standing alone in arctic dress.
The sculptor, Felix de We'll
don, who also made the Iowa
Jima Marine Corps statue
group. said Admiral Byrd is
shown "pitting his willpower
against the Polar elements and
envisioning the scientific ac-
complishments Of the future. +"
Admiral Byrd, a native of
Winchester, Va, flew over the
North Pole in 1926 and the
South Pole in 1929. He then
led five expeditions to Ant
artica. He died in 1857.

conflict, we meet in a quiet
commemoration Of an historic
day Of peace. In an age that
threatens the survival of free
dom. we join together to honor
those who made our freedom
possible. The resolution of the
Congress which first proclaimed
Armistice Day. described No
vember IL, 1918, as the end Of
"the most destructive, sangui-
nary and far-reaching war in
the history of human annals. /"
That resolution expressed the
hope that the first world war
would be. in truth. the war to
end all wars. 1t suggested that
those men who had died had
therefore not given their lives
in vain.
Hopes Not Fulfilled
1t is a tragic fact that these
hopes have not been fulfilled,
that wars still more destructive
and still more sanguinary fol-
lowed, that mans capacity to
devise new ways of killing his
fellow men haYe far out
stripped his capacity to live in
peace with his fellow men.
Some might say, therefore,
that this day has lost its mean
ing. that the shadow of the
new and deadly weopons have
robbed this day of its great
value, that whatever name we
now give, that this day, what
ever flags we fly or prayers we
utter, it is too late to honor
those who died before, and too
soon to promise the living an
end to organized death.
But let us not forget that
November IL, 1918, signified
a beginning, as well as an end.

Augustine, sis peace" The first
world war produced mans first

Today we are here to cele-
brate and to honor and to COM
memorate the dead and the
living, the young men who in
every war since this country
began have given testimony to
their loyalty to their country
and their own great courage.
II do not believe that any
.uation in the history Of the
world has buried its soldiers
further from its native soil
than we Americans-or buried
them closer to the towns in
which they grew up.
We celebrate this Veterans
Day for a very few minutes, a
few seconds of silence and then
this country's life goes on. But
think it most appropriate
that we recall on this occasion.
and on every other moment
when we are faced with great
responsibilities. the contribu-
ton and the sacrifice which
so many men and their fami-
lies have made In order to
permit this country to now
occupy its present position of
responsibility and freedom. and
in order to permit us to gather
here together.
More Precious Than Life
Bruce Cation, after totaling
the casualties which took place
IN the battle of Antietam, not
so very far from this cemetery,
when he looked at the statistics
which showed that in the short
space Of a few minutes whole
regiments lost so to rs per cent
OF their numbers, then wrote
that life perhaps is not the
most precious gift of all, that
men died for the possession of
a few feet Of a corn field or
a rocky hill or for almost moth
ing at all. But in a very larger
sense, they died that this coun-
try might be permitted to go
on, and that it might permit
to be fulfilled the great hopes
Of its founders.

tension and the possibilities of

we are in earnest-and can
assure the world that we are.
Civil War Recalled
This cemetery was first es-
tablished 81 years ago. In this
hill were first buried men who
died in an earlier war, a savage
war here in our own country.
Ninety-seven years ago today.
the men in gray were retiring
from Antietam, where thou
sands of their comrades had
fallen between dawn and dusk
in one terrible day. And the
men in blue were moving to-
wards Fredericksburg, where
thousands would soon lie by a
stone wall in heroic and some
times miserable death.
It was a crucial moment in
our Nations history. but these
memories, sad and proud, these
quiet grounds, this cemetery
and others like it all around the
world, remind us with pride
.of our obligation and our op-
portunity.
On this Veterans Day Of 1861,
on this day of remembrance,
let us pray in the name of
those who have fought in this
country's wars, and most espe-
cially who have fought in the
first world war and in the Sec
ond world war. that there will
be no veterans of any further
war-not because all shall have
perished but because all shall
have learned to live together
in peace.
And to the dead here in this
cemetery, we say: "They are the
race-they are the race immor-
tai. Whose beams make broad
the common light Of day!
Though time may dim, though
death has barred their portal.
These we salute. which name

present day still imperfect.
still short of its responsibilities,
but it does offer a hope that
some day nations can live in
harmony.
Patience, Courage Needed
For our part, we shall achieve
that peace only with patience
and perseverance and courage
the patience and perseverance
necessary to work with allies
of diverse interests but COM
mon goals, the courage neces-
sary over a long period Of time
to overcome an adversary skilled
in the arts of harassment and
obstruction.
There is no way to maintain
the frontiers of freedom with
out cost and commitment and
risk. There is no swift and easy
path to peace in our generation.
No man who witnessed the
tragedies of the last war, no
man who can imagine the un-
imaginable possibilities Of the
next war. can advocate war out
of irritability or Illustration or
impatience.
But let no nation confuse our
perseverance and patience with
fear of war or unwillingneSs to
meet our responsibilities. We
cannot save ourselves by aban-
doning those who are associated
with us, or rejecting our
responsibilities.
In the end, the only way to
maintain the peace is to be
prepared in the final extreme
to fight for our country-and
to mean it.
AS a nation, we have little
capacity for deception. We can
convince friend and foe alike
that we are in earnest about

Roy wilkins Calls On
Congress To Speed
Up Civil Rights Action

Washington. = Citing the speed
with which Congress enacted a
law to curb airplane hijacking,
NAACP Executive Secretary Roy
Wilkins has called upon Congress
sional leaders of both parties ''to
act upon civil rights with at least
the same speed exercised in be-
half of property rights"
In identical letters, dated Aug
ust 16, addressed to Senators Mike
Mansfield, majority leader; Eve
rett Dirksen, minority leader;
Speaker of House Sam Rayburn
and House Minority Leader
Charles Halleck, Mr.. Wilkins urged
early action to ban the Senate
filibuster, facilitate school desc
grafton, and authorize the Attor-
ney General to proceed in all civil
rights cases.
''We ask first" he said, "that
the Senate amend its filibuster
rule to provide cloture by a ma
jority of those present as it is done
with most legislation"
The NAACP leader rejected the
proposal to impose cloture by a
vote of three-fifths of the Senate
m e m b ership which, he said,
would require, in many circum-
stances, more votes than are now
required under the present rule.
The total vote has been less than
80 in 62 of 124 roll call votes in
the Senate since January, he
pointed out. ''In all such cases
an extra burden would be impos-
ed on cloture seekers by a man.
datory requirement of sixty votes. !"
To Negro Americans, Mr.. Will
|kins told the congressional leaders,
their constitutional rights "are as
precious as are airplanes to any
corporation or spokesman there
for. They are as precious as the
right of any American to complete
his journey of business or pleas
ure free of the threat of piracy in
the skies.
'In the developing world cli-
mate" he concluded, 1.-THE pro-
lection of these rights may be-
come, as well, a precious asset
of the United States and of the
West vis-a-viS the enemy in the
East"
