The Kennedy administration
will retain the controversial
Budget Bureau directive adopted
in the Eisenhower regime
which set up a policy Of con-
tracing out Government work
to industry wherever possible.
Administration officials say
that there is no plan to change
the directive, following a year.
long study made Of the Situa-
ton.
In fact, the Kennedy admin
istration might be stepping up
the contracting-ou policy. The
House has passed a bill provid-
ing that at least 35 per cent of
Navy ship repair work be con-
tracted out to private ship
yards, with the Kennedy admin
istration's apparent approval.
The decision is disappointing
to Government employe leaders
who feel that the Budget Bu-
reau directive is a threat to the
job security of many Federal
employees and also is costly to
the American taxpayer.
Under the directive issued by
the Eisenhower administration,
Government agencies were di-
rected to farm out work to
industry whenever it is found
that industry can do the job,
regardless of cost factors. The
decision has now been made to
retain this policy in the Ken
nedy administration.
A tipoff on the Kennedy
administrations decision oc-
CURED several weeks ago when
President Kennedy approved a
report of top administration
officials who conducted a study
of Government research and
development work.
The report, while calling for
tightening up of a number of
aspects of Government con-
tracing out policies in this
field, recommended that the
Government continue to rely
heavily on contracts with non
Federal institutions to accom-
plish scientific and technical
work needed for public pur-
poses"
Actually, the other phases
Of Government contracting
out activities are greater than
research development.

to end its profit-sharing agree

Brooks. said the company

Of $669,000. -
Another Commerce Depart
ment memo introduced in evil
dence said Secretary Weeks, :
Secretary Humphrey and Mr..
Flemming "collaborated" in an
earlier revision of the Calumet
& Hecla contract.
That revision, too, Mr..
Brooks testified, was in the
company's favor and against
the best interests of the Gov-
eminent.
The Senate probers asked
Mr.. Floete to appear next
Monday, but the former GSA
head told Senator Symington
his brother was seriously ill
and requested a poStponement.
Statement Halted
In yesterdays session, the
subcommittee heard Calumet &
Hecla President H. Y. Bassett
testify that he had discussed
the stockpile contract with Mr..
Flemming.
Mr.. BaSsett began to read
a statement disputing Mr..
Brooks allegation of a $5.6.
million "windfall." But he was
halted by Senator Symington,
because he had not submitted
the statement to the subcom-
mittee in advance, as its rules
require. -,

ton Attorney James L. Kunen.
who was discharged from his
position as a part-time Gov
ernment consultant last Mon
day because of an apparent
conflict of interest" in the
Calumet g. Hecla case, denied
there was anything illegal or
improper about his activities.
Mr.. Kunen, a former deputy
general counsel of ODM, was
a $50-a-day consultant to
ODM when his law firm re-
ceived a $4,000 fee from Calu-
met & Hecla for representing
the company in negotiations on,

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Administration Retains Policy

decision to retain the directive
was the feeling Of top admin
istration officials that to take
these huge Government con-
tracts away from industry
would seriously hurt the ma
tional economy and lead to a
recession.
ANNUAL REVIEW - AS the
administration wound up its
.pay-raise testimony. Space Ad-
miniStrator James E. Webb
said the most significant part
of President Kennedy's pay
reform plan is the part calling
for an annual review and ad-
iustment Of Federal employe
salaries.
Mr.. Webb told the House
Civil Service Committee that
the annual review system would
assure that Government sal
aries kept comparable pace
with industry pay and prevent
the lag in adjusting Federal
salaries that has caused Gov
ernment pay to trail industry
throughout the years.
The impact of this on re-
tanning and attracting the best
possible employees in key jobs
would be tremendous, Mr..
Webb declared. once the ini-
tial catch-up was achieved
through Kennedy's proposed
pay raises.
Commerce Secretary Hodges
pointed out another inequity
that the Kennedy pay plan
would correct. Mr.. Hodges said
that at present the director Of
the National Bureau Of Stand
ards and the chief of the
Weather Bureau make less than
some of their subordinates.
This is extremely bad" Mr..
Hodges noted.

In the editorial department and
had him taken under heavy
guard to a Brooklyn police
station.
Police booked Rosenberg on
a homicide charge shortly be-
fore dawn, after he had beer

and early morning and viewed

claimed he is not guilty.

a few hours after the murders,
and on Rosenberg's 25th BIRTH
day.
Police revealed last Monday
that they knew the identities OF
the three bandits and that a
Nationwide search was under
way.
Later that day.. the alleged
triggerman accused Of staging
the $4,000 holdup Of a tobacco
company with Rosenberg, was
caught in a motel in a Chicago
suburb. The next day, the man
accused Of driving q car which
was to have been used in a get
away surrendered in Norwich,
Conn.
The Daily News said Rosen-
berg, desperate on the fifth
day after the murders" con-
tacted his father Louis, Sc.
When the father turned to
the News for advice, he was
told, Have him turn himself
in. It's the only way"
The News informed police
that the contact had been
made, and that Rosenberg
wanted to talk with representa-
tives Of the paper and state his
case before facing police.
Claims He Is Innocent
Such a discussion was au-
thorized by police. the News
said, and 1t quoted father and
son as claiming young Rosen-
berg was innocent, although he
knew both Of the other men
accused Of the murders.
The News, describing the
surrender, said Rosenberg was
surprisingly self-assured" and
said, What I'd like is a steak
dinner. A steak dinner with
salad. potatoes. I'm starved.
His father was in tears.
Chief Of Detectives Michael
E. j. Ledden thanked the News
for its role in the arrest Of

performed a public service in
bringing this man into custody
with a minimum Of danger to
the public ana police"

President Frondizi have been
resumed with the new govern
ment. Twenty million dollars
for Argentine importation of es-
.sential goods from the United
States may be transferred
within a week. Specific prof.
.ects for low-cost housing, high
way and airport construction
worth $54 million are getting
final review in the AID agency.
Officials here defend this
policy in terms Of alternatives.
They say there is no alterna-
tive to President Guido but a
military dictatorship. They
maintain that the civilian Pres
ident is still in control, al
though they admit he chooses
policy from the avenues left
open by the chiefs of the
armed forces.
II and when military leaders
should establish an out-and-
out dictator, these officials say
United States policy will def
nitely be re-examined." They
imply this would work against
such a dictatorship.
Staying as Legal as Possible
For the moment, however, the
tendency here is to note that
the Guido government is break
ing the law ''in as nice a way
as possible"
They are trying to keep
things as legal as possible" said
one official. Mr.. Guido has
promised new congressional
elections for March, 1868, and
rev presidential elections the
following october 81. He has
said the reorganization" of
all political parties against to-
talitarian tendencies will be
carried out through the elec-
toral courts and by members

intended to strengthen the

Members of the farm block
in Congress are becoming
alarmed over a movement in
the European Common Market
to raise trade barriers against
American agricultural products.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat
of Arkansas, chairman Of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
took the floor in the Senate
yesterday to sound a warning
that:
ANY agreement we reach
with the Common Market must
provide assurance that farm
products will have reasonable
access to the Market. There
should be no agreement which
would help one segment Of our
economy at the expense of an
other"
Com m enting 6 on the Full
bright speech, Senator Aiken
of Vermont, a Republican au-
thority on farm problems, said
he. too, is disturbed by the
possibility that agricultural
products may be regarded as
expendable when new trade
agreements are being written.

probably will be proposed as an
