= Postal and Government en-
. p1oye lea ders have made it
plain that they will oppose any
plan by the Kennedy admins
tration to coordinate the civil
service retirement system with
social security.
The opposition was mani
tested yesterday in testimony
before a Senate Civil Service
subcommittee holding hearings
on retirement legislation.
Last week the Civil Service
Commission told the commit
tee that it was working with
the Social Security Administra-
ton on a coordination plan
that would be submitted to
Congress next year.
At yesterdays session, Chair
man Clark Of the Senate sub
committee, asked postal and
Government mploye union
leaders what their reaction to
coordination would be.
The response was virtually
unanimous in opposition to
any coordination. The EN-
ploye leaders felt that the
added benefits wouldn't be
worth the additional deduc-
tions that would be made from
employe salaries. They would
prefer that the liberalization in
benefits be made within the
framework of the civil service
retirement system.
Employe union opposition to
coordination would virtually
insure defeat of the proposal
that is sent to Congress next
year. Similar opposition killed
an effort by the Eisenhower
administration in 1856 to Sc
cure civil service retirement

The reaction of Congress is

States that have suffered a loss
in real" income since 1899.
The purchasing power of re-
tired Government workers has
gone down 13 per cent since
1889 according to official Gov
ernment figures, Mr.. Keating
noted.
APPROVED - The House
Civil Service Committee has
approved the bill to guarantee
Federal employees back pay and
restoration of employe benefits
that are originally lost because
of improper or erroneous dis
missals, suspensions or demo-
tionS.
The committee also approved
the bill to eliminate the pro-
vision that postal workers have
to work 80 days of each calen-
dar year at a lower salary be-
fore they can get the higher
pay of the job to which they
have been temporarily promot-
ed.
Both bills had been approved
by subcommittee of the full
committee earlier this week.
HEARING SET - A House
Civil Service subcommittee has
been appointed to hold hear
ings on a bill to permit addi-
tional Government and postal
employe unions to participate
as carriers in the Federal En-
ployes Health Insurance Pro-
gram,
Under the original law of
several years ago, employe
groups could not participate as
carriers in the program unless
they at the time already had a
health insurance program of
their own. However, the bill
sponsored by several members
of the House committee would
allow these organizations to
come under the program If
they develop health insurance
programs of their own.

refrain from joining.
But it makes two exceptions.
One says this policy does not
apply to the National Security
Agency, the Defense Intelli-

organization which performs
intelligence, investigative or
security functions. However,
there is a clause which would
permit union activity If the
director of any agency or a

could be done in a manner con-
sistent with national security
requirements.
The second exception rules
out any union composed pre-

Two years in advance of the
convention. top Republican
party leaders are betting pri-
vately that Senator Barry
Goldwater will not bid for the
presidential nomination in 1864
The somewhat doubtful priv
ilege of carrying the G. o. P.
banner against President Ken
nedy will go. they think, to
someone elected or reelected
as Governor Of a big State this
November.
The likelieSt nominees, if they
pass their 1862 tests, are Nelson
A. Rockefeller of New York,
William w. Scranton of Penn
Sylvania. George Romney of
Michigan or Richard M. Nixon
of California.
If all or most of these men
lose this year, or if the Re-
publicanS fail to boost their
strength in the House to at
least 200 seats. the 1864 nomi-
nation will be next to worthless,
these party leaders concede.
But currently their hopes are
high, despite the polls and the
acknowledged personal popu-
larity of President Kennedy. In
varying degrees, they express
confidence that not only will
the four previously mentioned
1864 possibilities come through,
but Republicans also will elect
Governors in Ohio and Ne
braska and hold the State
houses in Massachusetts,, New
Mexico, Oregon and elsewhere.
Goal of 21S Seats
While publicly proclaiming
their goal as capturing the 2l8
seats needed for a majority in
the House, the Republicans
actually will be satisfied with a
gain of 26-to a total of 200.
Likewise. under the circum-
stances existing this year, the
addition of two Republicans to
the Senate would be accounted
a victory.
Given those results in 1862
and that. these G. o. P. leaders
admit. is far from certain-the
Republicans believe they would
be in relatively strong posi-
ton to challenge for the White
House in 1864.
The hunch that Senator
Goldwater will not seek the
presidential nomination next
time was powerfully strength
ened this week by the surprise
announcement hat Stephen
Shadegg would run for the
Senate against veteran Sena-
tor Carl Hayden, Democrat of
Arizona.
Mr.. Shadegg has been Sena-
tor Goldwater's closest political
adviser, his chief speech writer,
his campaign manager and the
head Of the Arizona Republi-
can organization.
Republican professionals find
1t hard to believe that he would
undertake a race Of his own
right now If Senator Goldwater
had any intention of putting
together an organization for a
presidential bid.
