THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
:. Pay Raise Voted by Committee
:: Faces Modification in Congress

In addition, a new Within
step salary system would be
established. There would be 10
steps in a grade-the starting
step and nine within-steps. All
classified employees would auto
matically get a within-step
salary promotion once a year
for the first three grades, every
two years for the next three
steps, and once every three
years for the top three steps.
There would be no longevity
steps as such-the new within
step system would take its place.
Cash Increase Guarantee
Also, the bill provides classi-
fled employees a guarantee of a
cash increase equivalent to two
steps of their previous grade
when they are promoted to a
higher grade.
And the bill gives the Civil
Service Commission authority
to approve pay rates above the
top step OF a grade in job short
age categories. At present, the
csc can authorize top-of-the-
grade pay in job shortage
categories. Under the bill, it
can authorize additional pay
steps above the top of the grade
for shortage occupation Jobs.
Regarding classified en-
ployes, here is a breakdown by
grade showing the first phase
OF the raise on July /, 1862:
Grade /, Sc per cent; grade

An amendment calling for 81
changes in the administrators
trade expansion bill has been
proposed by nine Senators.
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, who offered the
amendment at Senate Finance
Committee hearings yesterday
said it would write many safe
guards into the bill. Six Re-
publican and two Democratic
Senators were co-sponsors.
The House already has APP
proved President Kennedy's
trade bill which would give the
President power to cut some
tariffs so per cent. This bill,
now before the Senate COM
mittee, would permit elimina-
ton of tariffs on goods which
Europe and this country trade
in large amounts. American
tariff reductions would be ex-
pected to bring concessions
from other nations. y!
Drastic Revision, Cuts
The proposal by Senator
Bush and his colleagues would
strike out of the trade bill or
drastically revise a number of
provisions sought by Mr.. Ken
needy.
Among other things, II
would:
/. Eliminate the section per-
hitting the President to cut
to zero any tariff of S per cent
or less.
2. Change the provision deal
ing with the European Com
mon Market which would per-
nit the President to cut tc
zero the tariff on any product
for which the United States and
Western Europe are responsible
for 80 per cent Of world trade,
so that United States exports
would have to make up Is
per cent Of the 80.
3. Restore the peril-point
procedure Of present law under
which the Tariff Commission
must determine the extent to
which a duty can be cut with
out causing injury before trade
negotiations begin. -.
4. Tighten up the escape

strongly sought by President
Kennedy. The postal rate bill
already has been approved by
the House. Tying the pay bill
to the postal rate measure is
regarded as a move to make it
more palatable to Mr.. Kennedy
and thus avoid a veto.
S1.2 Billion
Some administration officials
feel that the bill as approved
| by the House Civil Service
Committee would run a grave
risk of a presidential veto. The
administration not only OPP
poses its costs-$1.2 billion,
which is 5000 million more
than the administration-advo-
Gated bill-but also feels that
it destroys its pay comparable
Iity linkage between the postal
service and the other Govern
ment systems.
At any rate, the outlook for
a Federal classified and postal
employe pay raise this year
looks bright, even though the
final bill enacted by Congress
may be little different than
the one okayed yesterday by
the House Civil Service Com
mittee.
The House groups bill would
give postal clerks and letter
carriers a total average 1874
per cent raise-10 per cent
retroactive to July /, 1862, and
the remainder on July /, 1868.
The total two-phaSe raise for
Federal classified employees
would range from Sc per cent
for those in grade S to 1919
in grade II.
100000 Local Beneficiaries
The bill would benefit more
than 100000 employees in the
Washington area, including
legislative and judicial en-
ployes. District Government
classified workers and VA De-
partment of Medicine and
Surgery personnel. Legislative
employees would have their
salaries raised on a comparable
basis with classified employees.
The top Classification Act
$18,500 pay ceiling for grade
18 would be increased in the
second phase to $24,500. How
ever. a provision in the bill
keeps the top pay at $22,500
until the time that Congress
raises its own pay. Members of
Congress make $22,500 a year.
The bill also contains a num-
Der Of provisions strongly de-
sired by the administration.
1t sets up an annual pay sys-
tenn review committee, which
would be appointed by the
President, and which would re-
port to Congress and the
President each year on adjust
ment of Federal and postal
pay.
1t also provides merit Within
grade promotions for outstand-
ing work.

the thousands of persons who

The pay raise bill for Federal
classified and postal workers
approved yesterday by the
House Civil Service Committee
faces moves in Congress to
modify it's provisions.
The total two-phase Sc to
$50 per cent pay raise measure
is opposed by the administra-
ton as too costly and officials
will seek to get the measure
modified on the House floor
or in the Senate.
Also, a number of Southern
conservative Democrats and
Northern Republicans in the
House intend to offer amend
ments to trim the benefits for
classified employees.
In contrast, the Kennedy adj
ministration approves the pay
raises voted for classified en-
ployes. 1t objects to the 1874
per cent average total raise
for postal clerks and letter
carriers as well as the total
IL per cent raise for rural car
riers.
Also. the administration OPP
poses the bills two-phase raise
and instead wants the raises
spread out in three phases, The
measure approved by the House
committee would give Federal
classified and postal workers
the first part Of their raise re-
troactive to July /, 1862, and
the second phase on July /,
1868.
Action Weeks Off
1t will probably be three or
four weeks, at least, before the
House takes up the bill. 1t will
take two weeks for the House
Civil Service Committee to
write the official report &C
companying its bill. Then. a
rule will have to be obtained
from the House Rules Commit
tee to gain the green light for
House action.
Chairman Murray of the
House Civil Service Commit
tee is not happy with his COM
mittee's bill which was ap-
proved by a vote of 18 to 3. The
bill is sponsored by Represent
alive Morrison, Democrat oil

Consequently, Mr.. Murray is

for a rule. This will not be

agreed that Congress will be il
