The United States Court Of
Appeals. in q 5-to-4 opinion.
has again taken the Secretary
Of Agriculture to task for in
sisting on labelling water-cured
hams as limitations.
In an opinion released yes
terday, the Secretary was
sharply criticized for -inaetion"
in the case and. in one judges
opinion, accused Of trying to
deceive American housewives.
Chief Judge Wilbur K. Miller
loosed the first blast in a state
ment, concurred in BY four
other judges, that said the Sec
retary wasted too much time
in asking for q rehearing.
The Secretary had requested
extension Of the 15-day period
to file for q rehearing by the
full court Of q three-judge rul-
ing that gave Armour & Co.
a preliminary injunction In the
case.
Armour had sought to block
enforcement Of the Secretary's
ruling that hams containing
additional water as q result Of
curing processes should be la
beled as limitations.
The majority opinion, in deal
ing with the narrow legal point
that touched off the criticism
of the Secretary. ruled against
the Government on q proce-
dural point involved in the re-
quest for an extension Of time.
Calls Idea Absurd
Judge Miller said the idea
that grave departmental de-
liberationR was needed before
reaching q decision to seek q
rehearing Of the three-judge
ruling "is, Of course, absurd. I"
In a second tilt with the ap-
peIlate court, the Secretary yes
terday was riddled by Q con-
curing opinion filed by Judge
E. Barrett Prettyman, who
charged possible consumer de-
ception.
Judge PrettyInan, who said
he decided to set down his
thoughts in view Of the Gov
ernment's vehement insist
ence" about its position, asked
whether the Secretary was
trying to fool housewives.

Z The Kennedy administration
apparently Is modifying its
general ban on supervisory
personnel holding local or ma
tlonal union office.
Warren Irons. the Civil Serv-
ice Commission executive di-
rector, in a speech last night
said there wasn't the need to
bar supervisors from holding
union office in cases where the
unions have informal or formal
recognition as there would be
II exclusive recognition were
involved.
Since more than 95 per cent
Of the Government white-collar
employe unions and their locals
will only have informal or
formal recognition, this seems
to be- the administrations way
Of telling Federal agencies to
allow most supervisors to hold
union office where informal or
formal recognition Is involved.
Mr.. Irons cleared the speech
with csc Chairman John Macy
before delivering it at the Army
Finance Center at Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, Ind.
Lists Restrictions
Mr.. Irons said there should
only be minimum restrictions
against supervisors holding
union office in cases Of infor-
NAL or formal recognition.
This would restrict personnel
officers, agency or section
heads, special assistants to
bureau chiefs, etc., but would
allow other supervisory per-
sonnel to hold union office.
"In cases where exclusive
recognition is in prospect. the
restrictions would necessarily
be greater" Mr.. Irons said.
Mr., Irons said meaningfully,
81 am of the opinion that Fed
eral agencies could profitably
consider this distinction (for-
NAL and informal recognition
on the one hand and exclusive
recognition on the other) ir
arriving at their internal de-
examinations, and that it viii
be in the long-range interest
Of all concerned to consider
the spirit as well as the letter
Of the new policy"
Under informal recognition
when q union local has less
than 10 per cent of the eligible
employees in its membership
it has the right to present its
views to management. Under
formal recognition (when 6
union has 10 per cent or mors
Of eligible employees in its mem.
betship), 1t also has the right
tobe consulted by management
on all personnel problems ant
policies.

lies to exist" he said.
Representative Gross, Re-
publican Of Iowa, expressed
establishment" that the ad-
ministration had the nerve to
propose "exhorbitant" pay
raises for unprecedented Fed.
eral employees and only minor
raises for letter carriers and
postal clerks and other low
salaried Federal workers.
Gross Objects
Mr.. Gross said 1t was out. |
rageous that the administra-
ton plan would give a total
three-year pay raise Of only
$120 to the lowest-salaried |
postal and Federal workers and
increases as high as $4,000 for
the top career employees and
some political appointees in
Government.
Mr.. Gross also said it was in
consistent for Mr.. Kennedy toI
propose Federal pay raises cost
ing$1 billion when he Is asking
labor and industry to give UP
their rights to higher pay and
prices. This was q theme
stressed by other committee
members also. Il
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat Of Georgia, said that as
chairman of the House Man
power Subcommittee he did not
see any indication that very
many top-salaried Federal
career employees were leaving
the Government because Of low
pay.
Representative Corbett, Re-
publican Of Pennsylvania, and
others on the committee said
that II the pay situation was as
urgent as the administration
says 1t is. why wait three years
to put all Of It into effect?
| And so it went. Most COM
mittee members objected to de-
laying the start Of the pay
raise to next January and to
spreading 1t over three years.
Mr.. Macy said this was pro-
posed to spread out the billion
dollar cost Of the increase.
To charges that the admin
istration pay plan was infla-
tionary and inconsistent with
Mr.. Kennedy's restraint plea to
industry and labor on wages
and prices, Mr.. Macy dis
agreed. He said the pay plan
, would merely bring Federal
salaries - especially those in
the upper brackets - in line
, with comparable industry pay.
Still not satisfied, the COM
mittee members asked Mr..
: Macy back next Tuesday to
answer more questions.

Federal white-collar employe
unions had protested the orig
inal csc guidelines interpreting
President Kennedy's executive
order, charging that the ban
on most supervisors holding un-
ion office would severely
cripple their operations or put
them out Of business.
Mr.. Irons speech indicates
that the csc and the admin

COOL RESPONSE - Space
scientists, aeronautical engin-
GERS and other key personnel in
this scientific space age may
have great appeal among the
American public.
But as far as Congress Is
concerned, they don't have the
political sex appeal that letter
carriers and postal clerks have
At least, this was the i'm
preston given by the House
Civil Service Committee yester-
day when it started Federal
pay raise hearings.
Chairman Macy did an ex.
cellent job in presenting Mr.
Kennedy's Federal pay reform
plan in which scientists, en-.
gineers and other professiona
personnel would get large
raises, with only minor In.
creases going to postal clerk,
and carriers and other low
salaried Federal workers.
Explains Need
Mr.. Macy stressed the Gov.
ernment's responsibilities ir
these troubled times and how
essential it was to pay higt
enough salaries to attract anC
retain key personnel such a!
scientists, engineers, profes,
sional and administrative peo-
pie.
But Mr.. Macy's appea
seemed to fall on deaf ears.
What about the letter car
riers and postal clerks, the com
mittee members wanted b
