It's felt that many problems
and disputes will arise from the
program in determining bar
gaining units, types of recogni-
ton, possible violations of agree
ments and procedures, etc.
While the Labor Department
and Civil Service Commission
will have important roles in
connection with the program,
there is increasing sentiment
for a director of Federal labor
management relations to handle
the program on a continuous
basis.
Meanwhile, Chairman Johns
ton of the Senate Civil Service
Committee has praised Presi-
dent Kennedy's executive order
on labor management as mark
ing the dawn of a bright new
day in the Government service.
However, Senator Johnston de-
clared that "if we feel there
are any omissions or short
comings in the order we shall
work toward remedying such
defects through legislative ac-
tion."

The right to a hearing before
an impartial hearing board
within an employees agency is
expected to be one Of the main
provisions of the Civil Service
Commissions forthcoming reg
ulations on employe appeal
rights within their agencies.
President Kennedy's execu-
tive order issued last week, Civ
ing Government employees for
NAL appeal right to their agen-
cies on adverse actions, directed
the csc to issue regulations
implementing the order not
later than April !.
csc officials feel that in or
der to be meaningful the new
program must guarantee en-
ployes that their hearing will
be conducted before an impair
tial board in their agency.
At present, many agencies
have no appeals hearing pro-
cedure. Others have appeals
boards composed Of manage
ment officials or dominated by
them. Thus, the employees could
hardly hope for a successful
appeal.
The CSC's regulations prob
ably will provide for three.
member boards. composed oi
one management official, one
union representative and one
outsider. This third member
would be neither a representa-.
tive of Government, manage
ment or labor, but a representa-
tive of the community. Or the
third member could be someone
from another agency.
At these hearings, the en-
ploye will be given the right tt
be represented by a lawyer Of
his union representative or b,
whomever else he chooses.
Another CSC provision will
guarantee the hearing anC
processing of his appeal before
final action is taken against
him.

to appeal adverse agency ac-
tions to the csc if their appeal
to their agency for reconsidera-
ton should be turned down.
Formerly this right was given
to veterans only.
The executive order on ap-
peals within an agency is de-
signed to give employees a
chance to win their cases at
this level before having to carry
their appeal to the csc.

PAY DIFFERENCES-There
are reports that some of Presi-
dent Kennedy's advisers do not
see eye to eye on the admins
tration's forthcoming Federal
and postal pay raise reform
proposals to Congress.
Top Budget Bureau officials
have recommended a three
year installment-type pay raise
plan, to start January /, 1868
which would give substantial
compatibility" pay raises tc
upper-bracket career employees
and much more modest ones tc
rank-and-file workers.
However, some of President
Kennedy's advisers are said tt
feel that the time is not righ'
for the administration to pro-
pose big Federal pay raises
particularly when Mr.. Kennedy
is urging labor and industry tt
use restraint in any salary in
creases. They feel it could star
an inflationary pay pattern il
industry. Also they feel it coult
cause an adverse political re,
action throughout the countr.
and stir up a bitter fight il
Congress.
However, Mr.. Kennedy i
committed to sending a Fedora
pay reform proposal to Con
gress and will do so, although
the original Budget Bureau
proposals may be scaled dow

service career brackets.

Military Pay
President Kennedy has set up

President Kennedy has set up
a special group to review and
evaluate" the pay, allowances
and related benefits of men,
bers of the armed services.
A White House announce
ment did not indicate whether
the President thought military
men should get pay increases
as he is recommending for ci-
william employees Of the Govern
ment. !
It noted, however, that re-
lcruitment and retention Of per-
sonnel in the armed forces
"are continuing problems" de-
spite Improvement as a result
of 1858 Military Pay Act in
creaseS.
The announcement raised the
possibility that individual
members of the armed forces
might be required to share some
of the costs Of special benefits
provided them.
To Study Whole System.
The Defense Study Group on
Military Compensation, the
White. House said, will make
a study of the entire spectrum
of military pay, allowances
benefits. including retirement
and all other facets of the
military pay system. It added:
"The group is being requested
to identify and evaluate the
several benefits available to
military personnel which sup
plement actual pay and allow
ances and to consider the fea-
sibility or desirability of re-
tanning them in their present
form or translating them into
the basic pay structure.
1T will also study the ques-
ton of financing certain of
these benefits through individ-
ual contributions or through a
combination of individual and
Government contributions with
the possibility of providing
some benefits on an optional
basis.
consideration will be given
as to whether the translation
of some elements Of compensa-
ton into basic pay would af-
feet the incentive values which
assist in the recruitment and
retention of personnel, achieve
greater equity for the individual
and possibly result in direct
or indirect savings for the Gov
ernment."
Survey Members
The announcement late yes
terday said the study groups
will consist of personnel from
the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, the Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard. The Civil Service Com
mission and the Budget Bureau
also will be represented, and
liaison will be maintained with
the United, States Public
Health Service and the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, the other
uniformed services paid under
the Career Compensation Act.
Among other things, the
group will review and eyal-
uate the relationship between
total compensation received by
members of the uniformed Serv-
ices, other employees of the
Federal Government and en-
ployes of private industry.
1t is anticipated the study
will be completed next fall and
that any recommendations will
be ready for submission to
Congress early in 1868.

Democratic Leader in New York

sponsors are members of the
organizing committee of the
new Conservative Party in
New York.
Conservative Party organi-
zerS at first planned to put
up candidates against Gov.
Rockefeller and Senator ia
Wits at the Republican Con-
vention. They dropped that
as a waste motion but say
they will try instead to get
on the general election ballot.
1t shouldn't be too hard; all
they need to get a voting line
for their candidates are 5O,-
600 names on a petition.
Democrats had realized
that Senator Javits would cut
sharply into centers of their
strength in the voting. Their
who's who" standing up to
be counted for him makes it
hard to get an impressive
sacrifice candidate to con-
front him.
This in turn will hamper
the Democrat who will be
expected to cut Gov. Rookie
Teller down to a smaller size
IN 1864.
Some New York Democrats
believe that Gov. Rockefeller
is vulnerable on his record,
has alienated liberal support
and is much weaker than the
press indicates. Should the
party's private polls support
that view, the nomination
could become much more
valuable and gain much more
Kennedy support.

Labor Leaders Meet Facts of Life

It's a condition and not q
theory that Secretary Gold
berg faces. 1t is interesting to
note. too, that in manage
ment circles they also don't
like what the Secretary of
Labor is doing. They feel
that the whole pattern seems
to be one of governmental
regulation Of or interference
with collective bargaining
and that both sides in labor
disputes will be hampered If
this continues.
But the facts of economic
life are that the country can't
stand big strikes. The last
steel strike, 1t now is rec
ognized, did as much as any
other single factor to bring
about a maladjustment in
the national economy called
a recession"
Another significant devel-
opment emphasizes that the
facts of economic life are
emerging in clear view in the
railroad industry. A presi-.
Dental commission, consist
ing of representatives of
labor, management and the
public. has just filed a
lengthy report that calls
for a drastic overhaul of
"featherbedding" and other
uneconomic practices which
E have helped to put the rail-
road industry into a perilous
position financially. The
labor representatives natu-
rally have to issue a dissent
ing report. But adoption of
the recommendations is new
ertheless in large part neces-
sary if the railroads are TO
be saved.
Labor leadership, broadly
speaking, is in a tight spot
politically inside all unions.
Sooner or later, the rank and
file will have to be informed
that the days of unlimited
wage increases, threats Of
big strikes and demands for
increased benefits---irrespec-
tive of whether they can be
borne by management-are
over. Henceforth, collective
bargaining is going to require
a sense of mutual RESPONSE
bility which it has heretofore
lacked, and there will be
little use Of introducing
scapegoats. For the real cul-
prits are new competition at
home due to improved ma
chinery, and new competition
abroad in world trade due to
the establishment of the
Common Market in Europe.

A Lote-Stort Situation Is Visioned
For McKeon, New Party Chairman

NEW YORK.-New York
State Democrats are about to
get off the dime with a new
State chairman, William H.
McKeon of Auburn. ,-- ii
Mr.. McKeon, Al, may not
be too little; he is said to be
a Scrappy and successful
leader of his home county.
In one major respect he is,
however, too late. The States
senior Senator, Republican

They are people who sup

uled presence at the dinner
is not a precise commitment
to Senator Javits' reelection,
but it is close enough to it to
make him very happy.

drawing two conclusions. One
is that Mr.. Wagner will not

At a segregationist meeting
In Macon, Ga, where a bus

segregated practices, vicious
and false anti-Semitic and
anti-Negro literature was
handed out and a speaker
assailed the refusal to ride

This story and others like

He described how Commu-

with struggles for human

believe in such rights. They
seek merely to confuse the
prejudiced and the unin-

American legal institutions is
an old Communist trick. The
Nation, but more especially,
the South, needs enlighten-
