THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
New Operations Chief Expected
To Heal Breach in Council

not yet selected Mr.. McCart's
successor.
PAY STRATEGY-Adminis-
tration officials are discussing
the possibility OF asking that
President Kennedy's forthcom-
ing Executive Act pay raise and
other Federal salary proposals
be handled by the House and
Senate Judiciary Committees
rather than the House and
Senate Civil Service Commit
tees.
One reason is the apparent
reluctance Of top members OF
the House and Senate Civil
Service Committees 10 sponsor
pay legislation In the new Con-
gress. These members feel they
did their part this year on the
Federal classified and postal
employe pay measure.
Another reason In favor OF
having the Judiciary Commit
tee handle the pay legislation is
the feeling that a one-package
deal could be secured In which
the pay OF presidential appoin-
tive officials, career super
grade employees, members OF the
/ judiciary and members OF Con-
gress would be raised. This type
OF bill would be more along the
lines that would fall under the
Judiciary Committees jurisdic-
ton rather than that OF the
Civil Service Committees.
Also, there is the feeling that
Congress generally won't be
very enthusiastic about voting
an additional general pay raise
next year for Federal classified
and postal workers, so soon aft
er this years raise - compara-
bility or no, Therefore. the ad-
ministration's top objective is
10 increase Executive Act and
judicial pay as well as have
Congress raise the pay Of It's
own members.
