THE RICHARD SEP
PALAS spent part Of their
New Years eve preparing a
Finnish "luck" for their fam
lily and several of their
friends. This fascinating old,
old Finnish custom consists of
melting a stick of tin in a
little iron or steel scoop and
then pouring it into a pail of
water while pronouncing the
name of the person for whom
the coming years "luck" is
intended.
Immediately, the tin hard
ems in strange and Won
drous shapes and from the
smoothness, roughnesS and
formations ones future in
the coming year is supposed
ly determined. So widespread
is the custom in Finland, the
scoops and tin are sold every
where as the years end ap-
proaches, and on New Years
Eve there are even little
stands on the streets of Hell
sinki where passersby can
buy, melt and pour their own
tin: They are manned not
by vendors but by volunteers
who then turn over the money
to charity.
AS familiar as the Finnish
Ambassador and his wife are
with reading Finnish "lucks,"
they seemed to be baffled by
the one they made for me.
For that matter, they didn't
do much better by the Am
bassador. Said Patricia Of
the melted tin fortune her
husband made for himself,
"It's like a diplomat; it's
rocky on one side and smooth
on the other"
They took one to Rose Zal-
les the night of her New
Years ball, and she imme-
diately seemed to get its mes
sage. And they made one for
Fred Roy that looks like a
frog sitting on a pile of
money.

eminent professional employees
who are paid under Public Law
3I3 will be taken care Of I'M
der the pending Federal pay
raise legislation in Congress.
Unlike the last Government
pay raise in 1860. the pending
legislation in the House Civil
Service Committee does cover
them,
Public Law 313 authorized
a higher scale for scientists,
engineers and other profess
sional employees in key Federal
jobs. Their present scale
ranges from $12,500 to $4,000
a year.
Under the bill now in the
House Civil Service Committee,
salaries of employees under
Public Law 313 would be ad-
justed to whatever pay rates
for the Classification Act that
are established for Federal
classified employees in Grades
16 to 10. The agencies would
have the discretion to set the
pay of Public Law 313 employees
anywhere from the new mini
mum Of Grade 16 to the new
top Grade Is maximum.
The Morrison proposal pend
ing before the House Civil
Service Committee would pro-
vide the following Classifica-
ton Act pay scales in Grades
16 to 10 in the first phase of
the pay raise: Grade Is, SIG, 400
to $19,670 a year; Grade II
$1S,350 to S20,180; Grade 10
$zO,51o.
The second phase Of the
raise under this proposal would
result in these scales: Grade
Is. $19,125 to $22,935; Grade
IL $21,755 to $23, $50; Grade
Is. $24,500. 1t should be
noted that if the $24,500 fig
ure is adopted for Grade 1S
there will be provision that
the top Grade Is pay will bt

In a quick followup to Presi-
dent Kennedy's directive to
Federal agencies several days
ago to end all discrimination
against women in Federal job
appointments and promotions,
Civil Service Commission
Chairman John Macy declares
the csc will take prompt &C
ton to assure that agencies
adhere to this policy.
Under forthcoming CSC reg
ulations. Federal jobs will be
filled without reference to the
sex of the applicant where ex-
perience and physical require
ments are met, Mr.. Macy said.
This will apply to appoint
ments, promotions and train
ing opportunities.
"Only a few types of jobs
will be accepted as a basis for
selection of one sex or the
other" Mr.. Macy said. "These
are certain law enforcement
positions which require bearing
of firearms and a few positions
of an institutional or custodial
nature where the duties can
only be properly performed by
a member of the same sex as
the individuals, under his, Oh
her care for whom the services
are performed.
ANY other exceptions will
be made only when the en-
ployment circumstances are
such that it can be clearly
shown that a particular in
diyidual under consideration
cannot reasonably be expected
to perform the duties of the
position"
