view the start from the de-
stroyer Joseph P. Kennedy, jr.,

perhaps pick some up. even
though ] recognize that 1t is
going to be q very intensely
fought election"
The President made clear
again that he expects foreign
policy problems such as Berlin
and Cuba to be kept out Of the
political campaign.
A reporter asked him about
an implication in the recent
Soviet statement on Cuba that
the Russians considered the
main reason the United States
Is so exercised" about Cuba
now is because Of the coming
elections.
Mr.. Kennedy said 1t Is
natural that Soviet shipment
Of weapons and technicians to
Cuba would bring q good deal
Of concern" and "I would not
suggest that those who are
concerned about it are mott
waited by political purposes"
Another questioner asked
him for comment on the Soviet
announcement that "they ap-
parently win shelve discussion
Of Berlin until after our elec-
tons in November"

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
NFFE Urges Promotion Exoms
By u. S. to Extend Merit System

1t also asked that the compu-
tation rate for retirement pur-
poses for employees engaged in
hazardous duties be raised to
21a per cent from the present
2 per cent.
The convention also urged
legislation to establish a grad
ual retirement plan for Federal
employees, whereby the employees
can taper off their work on a
gradual basis.
Such a law would afford
an employe an opportunity to
become accustomed to the diff
ferent pace Of living" the reso-
luton said.
See Benefit to q. S.
Furthermore, the Federal
service would benefit "by use of
gradual retirement as a train
ing period for subordinates."
Automatic adjustment Of Fed
eral annuities based on an ac-
ceptable cost-of-living index
was also urged by the conven-
tion.
The delegates also gave their
support to Mr.. Owens efforts
to get the Governments new
labor management order mod
flied. Mr.. Owen is particularly
critical Of the conflict-of-in-
terest provision whereby some
management employees are
barred from holding union Of
flee. He also objects to ex-
elusive recognition provisions
of the order, although actually
some Federation locals have
secured exclusive recognition.
Mr.. Owen feels that regular
bargaining procedures have no
place in Government and that
only formal recognition should
be accorded employe groups.
Regarding the conflict-of-
interest provision, Mr.. Owen
says it is a gratuitous insult to
Federal employe groups. He
said that the federation dur
ing its 45-year existence has
had many management and
supervisory personnel as Of
ficers and never once did their
union duties interfere with
their obligations as employees
Of the United States Govern
ment.

approved a two-part pay raise
for Federal classified employees
and postal workers ranging
from rs to % per cent.
Prospective amendments to
go before the Senate committee
would:
Give 100000 employees in the
first five grades "in-grade in
creaSes," starting in october.
Allow postal employees raises
similar to the 1874 per cent for
clerks and letter carriers and
% per cent for postal super
visors, as provided in the House
bill.
Provide annual step ups
within grade for postal en-
ployes through step Z.

conference last night as re-
prisals against efforts made by
Negroes to register to vote.
Asserting that the right to
vote is basic in the Constitu-
ton, Mr.. Kennedy said, ''If we
are going to neglect that right,
then all of our talk about free
dom is hollow" He declared
that I'VE shall give every pro-
lection that we can to anybody
who is seeking to vote, and I
hope everybody will register in
this country, and I hope they
will vote"
He said that, If assuring that
protection requires extra legis-
lation and extra force, we shall
do that"
The President described the
burning Of the two Negro
churches in Georgia as the most
outrageous action he had seen
occur in this country in many
years.
He said q number Of FBI
agents are investigating the
burnings, "and as soon as we
are able to find cut who did it,
we will arrest them and we will
bring them before q jury, and
I am sure that they will be ap-
propriately dealt with"
During the press conference,
the President described Con-
gress as reviving, somewhat
like Lazarus" to make progress
on many measures that had
seemed to be in the deep
freeze" two months ago.
He said he hoped there would
be more Democrats in the next
session Of Congress but still
shied away from an across-the-
board Endorsement of all Demo-
Gratis running for Congress in
the November elections.
Mr.. Kennedy was asked if
either the Senate or House ver-
sion Of q tax measure to per-
NIT professional men to take
deductions on amounts set aside
for private retirement plans is
acceptable to him this year ''in
view of your intention to try to
close some tax loopholes next
year?"
"The Senate version is much
more acceptable than the House
version" he said, but even the
Senate version requires some
careful analysis"
He added that he would wait
until after the Senate House

employees into the legislation.
Chairman Johnston, Demo-
crat Of South Carolina, was
unable to gather q quorum this
morning. He hopes that the
committees work on proposed
pay raises will be finished in
one more meeting.
As it stands, the pay draft
carries increases up to IA per
cent for Federal workers in
upper grades.
The Senate committee appar-
emily will tie the pay bill to a
postal rate bill already ap-
proved by the House. This will
allow the combined measure to
go to Senate-House conference.

PHOENIX, Sept. IA. - The
biennial convention of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal
Employees has urged that pro-
motion tests be given to deter
mine advancementS in Govern
ment jobs.
The delegates expressed dis
satisfaction with the present
system whereby no examina-
tons are given to determine
who is to be promoted.

would further the merit system
and benefit the most able and
capable employees and at the
same time insure greater eff
cheney in Government through
the promotion of the best and
most qualified persons, the
convention declared.
The convention also asked
that the civil service retire
ment system be amended to
allow single employees to pro-
vide Survivorship annuities for
their dependent mothers or
fathers or other relatives, on
the same basis that married
employees now are permitted to
do so for their spouseS.
Calls Law Unfair
The convention declared that
the, present law is unfair to
single employees in regards to
survivor benefits. since they
pay the same 61a per cent of
their salaries for civil service
retirement benefits as do mar
ried employees.
Vaux Owen, federation presi-
dent for the past six years and
q national officer for the past
SO Years, won reelection for
another two year term as
president.
Mr.. Owen, 72, defeated Rob-
ert Griffiths, an Air Force
management official of Rome,
". Y. by a vote of 332 to 200.
Florence Broadwell won re-
election as secretary-treasurer.
Mr.. Owen failed, however, in
his attempt to purge the two
vice presidents and members of
the federation executive coun-
Gil who supported Mr.. Griffiths.
Beth Robert Weber of Los An
geles and Nathan Wolkimir of
Rantoul, Ill, won reelection
over candidates supported by
Mr.. Owen. The third vice
president who opposed Mr..
Owen, Frank Heselton Of Sault
ste. Marie, Mich, an Army
management official, was pre-
vented from running for re-
election because of the Gov

The President replied that
the leaders of both parties in
Congress have indicated very
clearly that there Is not a

on Berlin and that the Ameri-
can position in Berlin would
not be affected by election re-
suits.

Adjournment
Target Set as
September 2o

Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield set a September 2e
target date today for adjourn
ing the 1862 congressional
session.
He told his colleagues there
is more than a reasonably
good chance" to wind up the
session in two more weeks If
they viii work early and late
to get the job done.
Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat of Minnesota, the deputy
leader, told reporters yesterday
"the consensus of congressional
leaders" was for an October 5
adjournment. Noting Senator
Humphreys statement, Senator
Proxmire, Democrat Of Wis
consin, asked Senator Mans
field today If the job couldn't
be done earlier.
Up to Senate
It certainly could, Senator
Mansfield replied, but added
that whether it win be is up
to the Senate itself and not
to the leadership.
Senator Mansfield said he was
q ''little bit disturbed at alb
senteeism" Of Senators, which
he said has ruled out Saturday
sessions as q speed-up measure.
Senator Stennis, Democrat of
Mississippi. offered the Senate
this recipe for faster work:
Shorter speeches, fewer Of
them, less repetition in sena-
torial oratory, and the offering
Of fewer controversial amend
ments to bills when 1t is obvi-
Gus the amendments viii not
be accepted.
Counts Absentees
Senator Proxmire said he
had kept track Of the number
Of absentees and found that as
many as IS Of the Senate's 100
members were absent at the
same time earlier in the month.
The exchange occurred with
only a handful Of Senators
in the chamber. In
fact, there were not enough
on hand to transact
business.
A quorum call was ordered
to alert members that their
