Mlcnlgan, VINO has long been
interested and active on behalf
Of Federal employe legislation.
1t would give Federal en-
ployes a choice when leaving
the Government in regards to
their accumulated sick leave.
They could receive cash pay
ment representing the salary of
one-half the number of sick
days accumulated. Or they
could have all of the sick leave
accumulation added to their
length of Government service
in order to increase their re-
tirement benefits.
The bin was referred to the
House Civil Service Committee
which asked the csc for its
views.
csc officials say the report
on the bill will be in opposi-
ton. The reasons given are that
such legislation would discrimi-
nate against employees who have
had the misfortune to have
had a lot of sickness and would
provide an unwarranted bonus
to employees who have had the
good fortune to remain healthy
On the other hand, Mr.. Les
inski and Government employe
leaders feel that the bill would
reward those employees who
were careful in their use of sick
leave and did not abuse these
benefits. They also declare it
would save the Government
money in the long run by pro-
viding a strong incentive for
employees not to take sick leave
unless in was absolutely neces-
sary.

mittee on Manpower has writ

Budget Fear at
Tariff Hearing
BY LEE M. COHN
Star Staff Writer

Treasury Secretary Dillon in
dicated today that the admin
istration is worried about the
predicted budget surplus turn
ing into a deficit next year.
He hinted at his concern dur
ing testimony before the House
Ways and Means Committee on
President Kennedy's tariff
cutting legislation. He called it
an essential element in the
drive to eliminate the United
States balance of payments.
Representative Curtis, Re-
publican Of Missouri, noted in
questioning Mr.. Dillon that the
economy's upturn slowed down
in January and February. Mr..
Curtis recalled that the admin
istration based its forecast Of a
small budget surplus in fiscal
1868 on the assumption that
rapid economic gains this year
would greatly increase tax rev.
enueS.
Gains Not Enough
Mr.. Dillon agreed that "the
economy hasn't moved quite as
fast as we expected in the past
couple of months"
But he said budget estimates
were based on economic pro-
jections averaged over a full
year, and said there still is time
for the economy to make up
for its recent disappointing
performance.
He said the administration
will not revise its budget esti-
mates on the basis of January
and February economic sta
tistics, but indicated that a
new look will be taken later.
Mr.. Curtis also noted that
the tax bill approved this week
by the committee would cause
a revenue loss Of perhaps 81
billion in fiscal 1868. He called
the bill a budget buster"
Mr.. Dillon replied that the
administration hopes to recoup
much of the revenue loss
through amendments before
Congress completes action on
the bill.
Must Boost Exports
Discussing the tariff bill, Mr..
Dillon said the balance of pay
ments deficit-with resultant
losses of gold-can be solved
only if the United States greatly
increases exports. He said ex-
ports will increase sufficiently
only if negotiated tariff reduc-
tions guarantee United States
products liberal access" toI
Western Europe's Common
Market and other areas.
Simple extension of the old
Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act, scheduled to expire June
80, would be completely made
quate," he said.
Mutual tariff reductions by
the United States and the Com
mon Market, Mr.. Dillon said,
would increase American ex-
ports to Western Europe more
than imports from Europe
would rise, because Europe

To take control, Republicans

FirSf Hostess After

charges of hiring bias against

A company spokesman said she
is Miss Lorena Bolden Of Washing

In her complaint, Miss White
said she was interviewed for the
stewardess job in Detroit and in
Minneapolis, home office of North
west. She said she did not get the
job, but was offered the clerks
job, which she took.
During the hearing, George e.
Bushnell, Jr., attorney for the air
line, contended the Michigan FEPC
lacked jurisdiction in the case and
asked that 1t be dismissed.
Bushnell said a similar hearing
on Miss Whites charge already
had been completed by the Mime
sofa FEPC but added that its de-
cision had been held up pending
the completion Of the Detroit hear
ing.
After hearing testimony by VIII
fred c. Leland, a former director
of the Minnesota FEPC, who ident-
flied written communication be-
tween the Michigan and Mime
sofa agencies, Rosenzweig ordered
the hearing continued.
However, the commission here is
not so certain that the company
maintains a non-discriminatory hir-
ing policy and refused recently to
throw out the charges Of Miss
Marlene White, 20, that she was
denied employment as a hostess on
the basis Of her color.

when she applied for the job with
Northwest in 1858, now lives in
