THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Kennedy's Pay Proposal Appears
Moving Toward Compromise

administrations comparable
ity" pay arguments are making
headway.

MORE TO TOP-Therefore
IA graduated total pay increase
ranging from about 5 or 6 per
cent for Federal employees in
the first two or three grades
to about 10 to IL per cent for
those in the middle and upper
grades seems in the cards.
Postal workers stand to get
about an 8 or 8 per cent raise,
The administrations pro-
posed three-step installment
pay raise. the start of which
would be deferred until next
January l, also is expected to
result in a compromise.
Most likely. Congress will ap-
prove a two-step raise effective
this July l. This means that
Federal classified employees
would get the first increment
of the pay raise on July l, and
the second part of the increase
on July /, 1868. Most likely,
the two pay raises would be in
evenly divided amounts.
The resultant compromise,
while not everything that Pres
ident Kennedy wanted, would
at least raise the present
$l8,500 Classification Act pay
ceiling to $20,500 or $21, 900.
This would do much to ease
the current compression of sal
aries in the Classification Act
and provide more of a realistic
alignment Of Federal pay based
on duties and responsibilities.
On the other hand, while
the compromise would not
bring postal workers and lower
salaried Federal classified en-
ployes all they want in the way
of pay raise, it would be con-
siderably more than originally
proposed by the administration
The raise finally enacted by
Congress also is expected to
contain such administration
proposals as greater initial cash
increases on promotions. au-
thority to give within-step
raises for merit, etc.

be made available at the rate
Of $500 million in each of the
succeeding three years.
Restriction on Grants
The committee tied one
string to the Alliance for
Progress money. 1t stipulates
that for the coming year only
500 million may be distributed
as grants. the remaining $500
million to be in loans. No
grants are approved for the re-
manning three years unless au-
thorized at future sessions of
Congress.
The committee approved with

continuing the Development
Loan Fund and SIS billion for
military aid. These amounts
were authorized by the last Con-
gresS, but will have to be ap-
propriated at this session.
The main fight over foreign
aid usually occurs when the
separate appropriation bill
comes up. The bill being acted
On today is the preliminary au-
thorizing act. Even if both
Houses go along with this bill,
the SAT billion total still could
be reduced by the appropriation
committees of the House and
Senate.
Gore Moves to Reconsider
The original action of the
Senate committee in cutting
aid to India was taken last
week when a motion by Sena-
tor Symington, Democrat of
Missouri. carried, 8 to Z, with
two members absent.
One Of the abSentees, Senator
Gore, Democrat of Tennessee,
moved yesterday to reconsider,
and his motion carried, 9 to Z.
The Morse substitute to keep
aid to India at the present
level then carried on a voice
vote.
Chairman Fulbright, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, said he did
not support the Morse limita-
ton because as a matter of
principle he has never approved
of the committees acting on
specifice countries.
Senator Dodd. Democrat of
Connecticut, voted against the
% per cent cut, but said he
supported the Morse substitute.
He said he did not consider it
proper to punish the people of
India for the crimes Of Krish-
ma Menon and the folly of
Nehru, or to weaken India in
its fateful competition with
Red China" but said he also
believes this country cannot af-
ford to ignore the almost con-
slstently unfriendly policies
that Prime Minister Nehru
and Krishna Menon pass off
as 'neutralism.'"

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee was close to final
approval today Of a SAT billion
foreign aid program. but the
measure faced a week or more
Of delay in the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
The Senate group, which has
cut only $166.5 million from
President Kennedy's figures,
adjourned at noon until 3 pm.
without acting. Il was still de-
batting what steps the President
should take regarding aid to
any country that expropriates
property of American COM
panieS.
In the House. the foreign aid
bill has been complicated by
proposals 70 make the financ-
ing of the United Nations bond
issue a part of the foreign
aid program. The Senate last
month authorized as a Sepa-
rate bill purchase of 500 mil
lion of U. N. bonds.
There were reports last week
that the House committee had
decided tentatively to require
the President to finance the
U. N. bonds out of his foreign
aid contingent fund, but sew
eral House members said today
this question will be considered
again before the bill is re-
ported.
Bonds Put Off Til Last
Chairman Morgan of the
House Committee said his
group decided today to put
off the U. N. bond question
until last and that. if the COM
mittee decides to handle it in
the foreign aid bill, a hearing
will be held first.
The Senate committee late
yesterday reversed an earlier
decision to cut aid to India 25
per cent as a protest against
what some Senators regard as
the unco-operative attitude of
Prime Minister Nehru's defense
minister, v. K. Krishna Menon.
In place of this deep cut, the
committee adopted a substitute
by Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, directing the admin
istration to hold aid to India
at this years level. which is ex-
pected to total about $727 mil
lion.
The amendment will block
an increase Of about $50 mil
Ion or $50 million this Govern
ment was reported to be con-
sidering.
Amendments Pending
The biggest cut the Senate
committee has made in the
Presidents budget was to re-
duce his contingent fund from
$400 million to $500 million.
Two other reductions were:
In development grants. a
$35 million cut TO $500 million;
in supporting assistance, a.
$31.5 million cut to $3.50 mil

Ara TINE when everyone is talking about physical
fitness, here is the amazing success story of new
exercise program which is making world news
Two little booklets with the cryptic titles of
rs B X and TX B X" issued by the Queens
Printer, Canada, with no fanfare, have sold a
record-breaking 100000 copies in Canada alone,
and are heading for world sales in the millions.
The two books are, respectively, an exercise
book for men and one for women, produced by the
Royal Canadian Air Force. Each is an illustrated
do-it-yourself fitness course. Designed to sharpen
up the silhouettes of armchair personnel in the
RCAF, the booklets have burst out of Canada's
armed forces into civilian life, spread all the way to
Australia.
The explanation of their phenomenal success in
Canada may be found in a comment one of them
contains: determination, automation and work.
saving devices to make life easy are deprving us of
desirable physical activity. Canadians, as result,
are in danger of deterioratng physically despite
high standard of living
Does that sound familiar? Compare it with
what President Kennedy said recently:
There is an increasingly large number of
young Americans who are neglecting their bodies -
whose physical fitness is not what it should be -
who are getting soft" The hard truth of the
Presidents words is underlined by SOLDERING sta
tistic: young American in two today is rejected

it does its stuff without expensive equipment and
without cutting into busy housewives time.
The program, as shown on Page l6, is based ON
very gradually graded system of daily exercises. As
you work up, you completely master one level before
moving on to the next.

The key to your progress is repeating given
exercise more often in the same allotted time. On
the first day, for example, man does toe-touch
twice within two-minute period; after week, he
may be repeating it six times in the same two
minutes.
Every day you run through all the exercises -
the five types for men and the ten for women. But
never does man spend more than III, or ,Uon,an
more than IL minutes on one days exercise period
You complete your course in physical fitness
when you reach the limit designated for your age
level - after roughly six weeks to six months.
Once you have reached your goal, you can maintain
fitness in three exercise periods week.
