Mansfield Suggests
Recess for Election

Although Labor Day is three
months away, it is already ap-
parent that Congress cannot
dispose of all the major bills on
its docket by that time. The
chief reason is that the most
controversial subjects - taxes,
foreign trade and medical care
must all go through the Sen
ate Finance Committee.
The tax bill will not get out
of the committee for several
more weeks, and hearings on
the reciprocal trade bill will not
start until July 8. 3D.,
Meanwhile, the Finance Com
mittee must sidetrack these
major issues during June to act
on laws that expire June 80,
These include the debt ceiling,
sugar controls and extension Of
existing corporation and excise
taxes.

APATHY and in some cases
outright opposition to postal
and Federal employe pay raises
appear to be the mood of many
members of Congress.
This doesn't mean there
won't be any pay raises en-
acted this year, but it points
up, the considerable selling
Job that postal and Govern
pnent employe leaders still have
to do on Capitol Hill to as
sure pay raises this year.
Even some of the members
Of Congress who in past years
were in the forefront of those
battling for Government pay
raises, are less enthusiastic this
time.
There are a number of rea-
sons for this lukewarm atti-
tude.
First. President Kennedy's
anti-inflationary program in
which he urged industry and
labor to use restraint on prices
and wages, seems contradictory
to many members of Congress
IN terms of a postal and Fed
eral employe pay raise. They
feel it won't make sense to the
voters back home either.
One House member who
comes from a highly industri-
allied district with heavy
Union support, declared: How
can I vote for a postal ano
Government employe pay raise
when many of my constituents
are union members who have
voluntarily given up seeking
wage increases this year,"
Mr.. Kennedy insists that the

Reviewing All
EstesDeaIings,
Freeman Says

NEW YORK, May 81 CAP)
Agriculture Secretary Free
man says he is reviewing up
side and down" everything in
his department that had any,
thing to do with Billie So,
Estes.
"AS the President said, We
are on Mr.. Estes TAIL" the
Secretary declared in an inter.
view taped for television show
last night.
Mr.. Freeman said his depart
ment was vigorously pursuing
its investigation of the Este:
case and added that "as Of
now there is no favoritiSm'
to Estes on grain.
The Secretary insisted thai
Estes made no more money
out Of the United States Gov.
ernment than any other grair
dealer with similar facilities.
Could Have Had More
'His facilities" Mr.. Freeman
added; held less grain than
based upon their capacity com.
pared to the State Of Texas
he would have been entitled
to.
II might add, too, that oi
the SIS million that had beer
paid to him for grain storage
over S. million Of it was paiC
for grain storage before this
administration ever came into
power"
Estes is under indictment or
charges of fraud. A number OF
investigations are under way
on how he built up an empire
of grain storage under Govern
ment contracts, cotton allot-
ment transfers and other
means.
Mr.. Freeman was questioned
about criticism by some Sena-
tors that the Governments de-
cision to remove grain from
Estes bins over an 18-month
period was a gift of SIS million
to beneficiaries of the remnants
Of the Texans estate.
"The answer to that criti-
cism," he replied, "is that il
we did what those Senators
want, it would cost the tax
payer So million plus"
Cost Saving Told
He said that by moving the
grain out into export and do
mestic use in orderly fashion
1--WE cannot entail additional
costs"
A crash program, on the
other hand, would create seri-
GUS transportation and local
problems, Mr.. Freeman said
He added:
Setting that aside, it will
cost a minimum of 50 million
more. Now the grain is all there
we've got a $40 million in
surance policy on it. And this
whole case as it now
stands, at least the Govern
ment doesn't stand to lose a
dime"
Mr.. Freeman said he met
Estes only once, when the latter
was consulting with the Agri.
culture Departments general
counsel and Undersecretary.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Employees Facing Selling Job
To Achieve SoIory Increases

pretty well off now," one House
member remarked.
Another factor is the stock
market decline. No one knows
what effect it will have on the
national economy. But many
members of Congress feel that
the economic climate is not now
ripe for a Federal pay raise.
Still another objection to
Federal pay raises - although
not stated openly on Capitol
Hills that it would give top
Federal career employees salaries
almost as high as those of
members of Congress-. Actual
ly, the Kennedy pay plan would
give career employees higher sal
aries than member of Congress,
but Congress wouldn't go that
far.
Many members of Congress
feel that they deserve a pay
raise themselves. And admin
istration officials as well as
Government and postal en-
ploye leaders agreee that the
present $22,500 a year congress
sional pay should be raised.
But Congress is too tinid at
this time to raise its pay. And,
being human, members aren't
enthusiastic about raising the
pay of others who work for the
Government, especially when 1t
would result in Federal ca
reer "bureaucrats" and Congress
sional staff people making al
most as much as they do.
The present indifference on
Capitol Hill toward Government
pay raises isn't a unique thing
There has been occasions in
previous years when Federal pay
raise legislation was ploddine
along in Congress, only to sud-
denly catch fire" through the
determined efforts of pay raise
sponsors and postal and Gov
ernment employe leaders. From
that point on, the pay raise
legislation had clear sailing and
was enacted into law.

MAGIC MOMENT - Thi:
year, the pay raise legislation
has yet to take hold. The
psychological moment wher
Congress will become enthusec
enough about pay raises tc

Thus, the job ahead of pay

leaders is to build up for the

to their members of Congress
and the key members of the
House and Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committees as well as get

do much to create a more re-
