working with the Chippewa Tribal
Council in the solution Of the vari-

compensate for past injustice, we
should offer these (Negro) chill
dren educational services beyond
the level of what might be called
standard quality?"
The compensatory opportunity
might take the form of lower stu
dent-teacher ratios, extra guidance
services, better physical facilities,
and more scholarships for higher
education, he suggested.
DR.. Fischer spoke at the two-day
fourth annual education conference
of the United States Commission
on Civil Rights in the State De-
partment building.
In some cases, Fischer said, the
extra attention might include Gus
todial and boarding care for chill
dren whose welfare required their
removal from a crippling environ
ment"
Fischer, su p erin t e d e nj Of
schools during desegregation in
Baltimore, said that many Negro
children, as well as white southern
migrants, are caught in a cultural
downdraft" the moment they step
outside of the school.
Earlier, President Kennedy told
the conference, in a telegram, that
solving the problems Of school de-
segregation is one of the greatest
challenges facing America today.
The President said that, al
though progress has been made in
recent months in a number of COM
munities toward "a peaceful and
orderly transition to school sys-
TENS unmarried by racial discrim-
nation" these efforts must be
redoubled."
Atty. Gen Robert F. Kennedy, in
a brief speech, said peoples all
around the world are watching
America to see what it would do
about providing equal rights for all
of its citizens.
The attorney general said racial
discrimination was not copfined to
the South. He said the North has
problems that "are sometimes
more subtle and, in our judgment,
sometimes more sinister"
Some 100 school officials from
80 states attended the conference.
They included leaders who were
involved in the initial desegrega-
ton of schools in New Orleans,
Little Rock, Atlanta, Nashville,
Memphis and Clinton, Tenn.
DR.. Houston r. Jackson, an as
sistant superintendent of the Bal
timore schools, said:
Negroes have benefited by in
tegration of the schools, for 1t
has opened job opportunities for
many more Negro teachers ."
White teachers, though, usually
refuse to accept assignments In
all-Negro schools and ask to be
transferred when the enrolment
approaches so per cent Negro, he
said.
This has resulted in the request
for assignment and transfer OF
many qualified, experienced Negro
teachers from the still an-Negro
schools to fill some Of the vacan-
cies," he said.
DR.. Richard Peters, a member OF
the Chapel Hill, N. c., school board
told the conference that once the
problem of school desegregadon Is
met, "the problems Of education
can be approached"

BUENOS AIRES. Sept. 10
AP).-Argentine army COM
manders waged a fierce new
tllg-of-war today with a rebel
faction demanding President
Jose Maria Guido's government
be freed from military dicta-
ton.
Gen. Juan Carlos Ongania,
commander of the big Campo
de Mayo garrison just outside
Buenos Aires, declared in
sparkling the revolt that Mr..
Guido must face up to the issue
Of democracy or dictatorship"
Gen. Ongania charged Mr..
Guido was surrounded by army
cliques" bent on establishing a
military dictatorship.
Secretary Is Target
War Secretary Gen. Jose
Cornejo Saravia, whose ap-
pointment was to appease
another group of rebels. was
the chief target of the career
army officers because of his
recent shakeup Of commands.
Troops under Gen. Onganis
also are demanding the resigna-
ton of Gen. Juan Lorio as
commander in chief, and his
chief of staff, Gen. Bernardino
Labayru.
Argentine newsmen said they
saw tanks move out of the base
of the 1st Armored Regiment
and head for La Plata, only IS
miles southeast of Buenos Aires,
in an apparent show of sup
port for the Campo de Mayo
garrison.
But the War Secretariat de-
MED there had been any troop
movements anywhere. The
secretariat said only "explora-
tory vehicles" had left the
armored camp. 1t gave 20

The final pay raise as ap-
proved by Congress is expected
to be closer to the Senate
committees version than the
higher-scale one approved by
the House Civil Service Com
mittee. In fact, there's a good
chance that House-Senate con-
ferees will adopt the Senate
version as is.
The Senate committee still
has to decide on the pay of
Legislative employees. There is
a proposal before the commit
tee to limit the raise of lower
salaried legislative employees in
the first phase of the raise to
5 per cent. However, Chairman
Johnston wants to give them
increases corresponding to
those for classified employees.
The committee also has to
decide on the thorny Cunning
ham amendment passed by the
House as part of theS postal
rate increase bill, which would
restrict the flow Of Communist
propaganda through the mails.
The administration is opposed
to the amendment and wants
it watered down.
There were some rumors that
the Senate group wanted to
kill any action on postal rates
this year and only approve a
pay increase. However, all in
dications are that the Senate
committee will approve postal
rate increase as part Of the pay
raise bill. Otherwise. it's con-
sidered likely that President
Kennedy would veto a pay raise
measure and Senate committee
members are aware Of this.

a year for those IN grade 18.
The time element is becoming
all-important as the Senate
group hopes to complete action
on the combined pay raise
postal rate bill so that it can
then go to House Senate con-
ference.
The pay raises would affect
more than 1.6 million Federal
and postal workers, including
more than $50, 900 in the Wash
ington area. Postal clerks and
carriers would get a two-phaSe
raise of about 10 per cent.
Also included in the bill are
District government classified
workers, legislative and judicial
employees, foreign service per-
sonnel, Veterans Administra-
ton doctors, dentists and
nurses, and white-collar en-
ployes outside the classified
system such as those in Atomic
Energy and the FBI.
Under the committees bill,
the major part of the increases
would be given in the first phase
of the raise. Super-grades 16,
II and 18 would get all of the
increase in the first phase of
the raise, with the understand
ing that if and when the pay
of Executive Act officials are
raised, the super-grades will
be revised upward again in
January. 1864.
Here is what the pay scales
for classified employees would
be on the first phase of the
raise, as tentatively approved
by the Senate committee:
Grades /, $3.50 to S4,295;
grade 2, S3,665 to $4,710; grade
