THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Kennedy Expected Soon to Name
Panel to Recommend Pay Raises

nedy is expected to wait until
receiving the recommendations
of the pay panel before sending
up the administrations pro-
posals to Congress.
It's certain that the admin
istration will propose pay
raises. although not as high
as the Budget Bureau pro-
posals. Also, it seems certain
that Congress will approve pay
raises for Federal classified and
potal workers, but on a more
modest scale averaging about
7 or 8 per cent.
II Il Il
BUDGET BUREAU PRO-
POSAL - Here is what the
original Budget Bureau and
Civil Service Commission staff
proposals call for in the way of
a total increase, for classified
employees over a three-year
period.

total $4,000 to $4,000 and even
more.
Postal workers would get
a total pay raise over the three
year period of about $500. The
present $4,000 postal pay CELL
ing would be raised to $4,000.
Cabinet officers, agency
heads, assistant secretaries and
other presidential appointees
also would get sizable increases,
with a top of $4,000 for can-
met officers. They now make
$4,000.
All this would cost a lot of
money. There is no definite cost
estimate, but it would be well
over 81 billion.
Thus, because of budgetary
considerations, the Budget Bu-
reau proposes that it be spread
over three years. However, the
entire cost would be borne after
the third year on an annual
basis.
The publicity attending this
plan has given pause to Presi-
dent Kennedy and other tor
administration officials.

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star staff Writer

Despite all the reports and
rumors of the past few weeks,
the Kennedy administration
still has not decided on the
amount of Government classi-
fled and postal employe pay
raises it will make to Congress
early next year.
The only thing decided is
that the administration will
take the lead next year in pro-
posing some kind of Federal
and postal pay raises to Con-
gress. 1t will be the first time
in history that an administra-
ton. will have taken the initia-
tive in pay raise reforms.
President Kennedy within the
next few days is expected to
announce appointment of a top
panel of outstanding private
citizens to study the pay ques-
ton and make specific recon-
mendations to him on pay
raises within the next month
The group is expected to have
such figures on it as AFL-C1C
President George Meany, for
mer Secretary of Welfare Mar
ion Folsom; John Corson, we'll
known Washington manage
ment consultant; Robert Lovett
New York investment broker
and former top State and De
fense Department official, as
we'll as others.
COST FACTOR-What has
happened thus far is this:
The Budget Bureau has rec
commended a three-step pay
raise for Government classified
and postal workers that Woulc
provide a once-a-year pay ralst
for three straight years start
ing next July l.
The present Classification Ac
pay ceiling of $18,500 would b
raised to approximately $28,00C
Within this framework, sizabl
increases would be provided TO
middle and top grad
career employees. Nominal in
creaseS would be given to lowe
and middle grade employs
These would average abou
$500 total over a three-yea
period. The raises for thos

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. 20 (AP) Weary U. N.
delegates pushed to wind up
the first part of the Genera!
Assembly session tonight after
condemning Portugal for refus-
ing to give the U. N. informa-
ton on its overseas territories.
1t was the second U. N. deci-
sion against Portugal within "a
hours. A Soviet veto the night
before blocked Security Council
approval of a resolution calling
on India to pull back its inVa-
sion of the three small Portu-
gueSe colonies on the West
Coast of India. The Indian
Army completed its conquest
yesterday.
Portugal Probe Authorized
India also had led the cam
paign to condemn Portugal for
refusing to furnish information
on -self-governing terri
tories required by The U. N.
Charter. The vote was 90-3 with
Portugal, South Africa and
Spain voting no and Bolivia
and France abStaining. The
United States voted for the
resolution after an unsuccessful
attempt to soften its language.
The resolution authorized
creation of a seven-man COM
mittee to conduct an mvestiga-
ton of conditions IN the
Portuguese territories and called
on member states ito deny
Portugal any support and
assistance which may be used
by it for the suppression OF
