BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The Kennedy administration
contends that the Presidents
anti inflationary wage and
price restraint" program for
industry and labor would be
ieopardized if lower-grade Fed
eral employees and postal work.
ers received substantial pay
raises.
On the other hand, big pay
raises for upper-bracket Fed
eral employees would not be In
flationary since 1t would merely
bring them up to parity pay
wise with comparable industry
jobs.
This, in a nutshell. is the
Administrations justification to
Congress for its proposed big
pay raises for the upper grades
and only minor ones for the
lower grades.
Speaking for the administra-
ton yesterday in testimony be-
fore the House Civil Service
Committee was Under Secretary
of Treasury Henry Fowler.
Mr.. Fowler said the various
acrosS-the-board pay raise bills
sponsored in Congress this year
that would give all Federal
classified and postal workers
Is to 40 per cent pay raises
would perpetuate existin g
(pay) Embellishments and, in
deed, in many cases sggravate
them" He said the administra-
ton strongly opposes them:
Then, in reference to Presi-
dent Kennedy's anti-inflation-
ary move to hold down wages
and prices on the part Of labor
and industry, Mr.. Fowler added:
"At the lower work levels
Gin Government), the increases
Gin the various bills) cannot be
justified on the basis Of equity
They would, in areas OF the
country where the Federal Gov
ernment is a major factor in
local labor markets, incite COM
petitive wage increases in pri-
vate employment. They would
provide a most unfortunate
example for labor and private
industry generally.
I'm sum, they would not only
throw our budget out of bal
ance, but they would jeopardize
the whole approach of the ad.
n1iristsation toward encourag-
ing wage restraint and price
stability. They would in thu
end entail grave risks for oul
balance Of payments-risk'
that cannotsbe justified by any
