Bill passed
to tighten
voter laws

JACKSON (UPD-The Mis-
sissippi senate today adopted
two voter registration bills de-
signed at helping the state
ward off federal civil rights
moves.
There was no mention of the
word Negro" as the measures,
which have passed the house,
were overwhelmingly approx
ed without debate.
The most far-reaching of
the two would allow any
voter to challenge the moral
character of any applicant.
The county registrar would
hold a hearing on any such
challenge and decide wheth-
er the applicants moral
character was good enough
for him to vote.
The other measure would
write the good moral charac-
ter" voting requirement into
the law. The requirement was
inserted in the constitution in
a statewide election several
years ago.
AS the senate worked, most
legislators hoped their mara
thon 1862 session can be ended
this week, despite complica-
tions.
Plans to quit work Satur-
day hit a snag in the house
Monday afternoon.
The rules committee wanted
members to agree not to enter
motions to reconsider anyl of
Saturdays actions. Such mo-
tions would require the legis-
lators to either take up the
matters at later dates or let
the actions be nullified. IMAM

for the "gentlemen's agree

refused to 60 along with it.

Repairs to End
Sewage Drain
Into Anucostiu

The discharge of approxi-
mately 20 million gallons a day
of untreated sewage into the
Anacostia River will end in
about a week when a major
sewer repair job is completed,
a District official said today.
Roy L. Orndorff, deputy di-
rector of the Department of
Sanitation, said the sewage was
diverted into the river when a
more than 50-year-old sewer
trunk between First street and
New Jersey avenue Sc. and the
District Armory was taken out
of service.
Mr.. Orndorff explained that
this old brick sewer had been
in danger of collapsing. Re-
pairs started last winter and
were resumed a month ago
after the trunk was taken out
OF service again.
Sewage has been discharged
into the river only in winter,
when the waters are high and
low temperatures minimize odor
problems.
Mr.. Orndorff said repair work
is being done "a hours a day,
seven days a week under a con-
tract of about $5OO,000.

White House Program
The White House now wants
a major, organized program of
civic action, according to the
December Is Bundy letter, to
be used as cold-war weapon.
/ The letter specifies that the
program should mot materially
impair performance of the
primary military mission" The
Army believes civic action will
enhance the military mission
fif extra funds are provided.
More money would be needed
because materials would be used
up rather than reused, and field
training abroad would be more
costly than barracks training
at home.
Mr.. Bundy did not indicate
whether additional funds were
contemplated.
There is some opposition to
civic action within the Penta-
gon from persons who believe
military men should not mix in
the political and economic &C
tivities of foreign countries.
They believe American soldiers
may become politically power
ful-perhaps in opposition to a
friendly but backward govern
ment-and do more harm than
good.
Pentagon sources say it will
take some weeks to work out a
specific civic action program in
response to the White House
order.

TREMENDOUS COST FAC
TOR-One problem facing the
panel as we'll as President Ken
nedy and his administration is
the tremendous cost of a Fed
eral and postal pay raise bill
OF any substantial proportion
! One plan being studied is to
give a general pay raise to
classified and postal employees
which would be substantial but
considerably less than the
Budget Bureau proposal for
upper middle bracket and top
/ salaried employees, and vet a
little more for postal and lower
Salarled classified employees
than the Budget Bureau pro-
posal.
Those urging this declare il
would have a better chance OF
getting through Congress.

super-grade jobs be requested
OF Congress and that that pres
ent $4,000 a year top salary
for many engineering and sci
entiflc jobs under Public Law

Thus, they declare, by pro-
vlding a general salary increase
plus more super-grade jobs and

The years of separation of

The great reunion came on

Washington to see John F.
Kennedy inaugurated as the

.35th President of the United
States. He had arranged q
meeting with them the night
before. but the jinx of 109 hac
one breath left. The worst
snowstorm that Washington
had seen in decades Strangled
traffic, and Mr.. Kennedy could
not get to the reception.
One of his first presidential
acts, however, was to give a
hearty wave and big grin to the
crew as they passed on a float
in the inaugural parade aboard
a PIT boat numbered 109 in
memory of the old hulk on the
bottom of Blackett Strait.
President Kennedy's expert
ences on that boat and the pain
that resulted had made him q
wiser, stronger, and more con-
fident man. 1t is even possible
that he might never have

had not been for PIT 109.

The special panel appointed
by President Kennedy to advise
him on the administrations pay
raise proposals to Congress is
expected to recommend sub
stantial salary increases for
Federal employees, especially
those in the upper-middle and
top salary brackets.
The panel members were
selected with a view toward
supporting in general the ad-
ministration's idea that sizable
pay raises are needed for engi-
neers, scientists, career execu-
,tives and presidential appoint
:ees. All of the members are
known to be sympathetic to this
viewpoint. 1t is definitely a
friendly" panel.
Where the panel might have
some trouble is in the area of
postal employe salaries as we'll
as those of loWer-grade classi-
fled employees pay.
The Budget Bureaus pro-
posal to President Kennedy
called for increases ranging up
to 10 per cent for those in the
top grades of the Classification
Act, but only very modest raises
for postal workers and classified
employees in the lower grades
The Budget Bureaus plan would
spread the raises over a period
of three years.
Postal workers would get a
total increase over the three
years of about 712 to 8 per cent
about 212 per cent a year
Classified employees in grades
and 5, for example, would get
about the same raise.
The postal employe leaders
have served notice that this
proposed raise is totally unac-
ceptable to them. Classified
employe leaders also want more
for those in tAe lower grades
than has been proposed by the
Budget Bureau.
And on President Kennedy.
panel they will have an aggres.
sive spokesman in the person O,
