The Government is having
difficulty collecting data to
compare the fringe benefits OF
Federal employees with those OF
private industry.
:. Such a study was started by
tne Budget Bureau some
months ago as part of an ef-
tort to compare Government
compensation and benefits
with those of industry.
= William Lehman, Budget Bu-
reau management analyst who
has been actively involved In
=" Federal pay policies for a num-
ber Of years, says any fringe
benefit comparison betwe e n
government and industry must
await resolution of two prob
lens:
-(D How to obtain the nec-
eSsary data on private enter
prise fringe benefits and (2)
whether compatibility, Of the
direct nature used in regard tc
salaries, is advisable in fringe
benefits.
- Writing in the Public Per-
sonnel Review, the journal OF
the Public Personnel AsSocia-
. ton, Mr.. Lehman said that
data on industry fringe bene-
fits is incomplete.
He said that the Bureau OF
/. Labor Statistics and Unite e d
States Chamber of Commerce
have published some data on
the subject, but in both cases
this is confined to fringe bene-
tits for production workers and
some office clerical workers.
There are severe, and as YET
ilnsolved, difficulties in collect
ing data on fringe benefits fol

executive classes of personne,

man noted.
Mr.. Lehman noted that Pres
ident Eisenhower a few years
ago said that Federal salaries
and fringe benefits should be
comparable with industry pay
and benefits, while President
Kennedy's recent statement or
comparable benefits relate &
only to salary.

In Virginia Counties

Fairfax County's indebtedness
topped the list.
Mr.. Bennett's report showed
that per capita expenditures

million inhabitants of the
counties was $106.5S for the fis-

Meantime, the counties are
borrowing more. The per cap

jumped $14.21. This makes the
average debt for every man,

ties $106.92.

schools increased from more
than $177.8 million in 1860 to
S195 million in 1861. This
represents an increase totaling

marily by the increase in teach

ATLANTA, July A. The
country's major cities in the
North and West-Washing
included--will become a cru
cial and critical battle-ground
for the National Association
for the Advancement Of Col
ored People. its general counsel
said today.
II propose that we launch
there (the urban North and
West) a vigorous, simultaneous
attack on discrimination in
housing, education and en-
ployment," Robert L. Carter,
NAACP general counsel, told
the associations lawyers and
state conference presidents at
tending the organizations 53rd
annual convention here.
Mr.. Carter said the NAACP's
battle with the more formal
lied patterns Of discrimination
in the South will continue. The
attack against urban bias will
be coupled with an attempt to
dry up Federal and State gov
ernment financial support Of
segregation in housing, educa-
ton and employment. he said.

NAACP's task force" program,
In addition to Washington, in
cluded Baltimore, Boston, New

Chicago, San Francisco and
Los Angeles. The task force
will be headed by NAACP, ma
tional staff officers, Mr.. Car
ter explained, who will visit
local NAACP branches In the
designated cities to make an
inventory Of discriminatory
practices.
Litigation Last Resort
Litigation alone does not
SUFFICE" said Mr.. Carter.
What Is needed Is q co-ordi-
mated program involving a
basic study Of the problem,
formulation Of q proposed So
luton, negotiations with re-
sponsible officials to persuade
them to take affirmative ac-
tions and community activity
including picketing, speeches.
sit-ins and mass demonstra-
tions. Then comes litigation, If
all else fails"
Noting that Washington "is
the only large urban center in
the country with more Negroes
than whites" Mr.. Carter OBJ
served: while in most Of these
cities (northern and western)
there are no formal laws
requiring discrimination, the
Negro is relegated to a status
Of subserviance, as depressed as
that in the South. Unless q
way Is found to combat alegal

James M. Nabrit, jr., presi-
dent of Howard University, said
today that the survival of
America as the leader of the
free world rests in large meas
ure upon the success Of the
Negroes struggle for full civil
rights.
In q speech prepared for de-
livery at the NAACP's July 4
observance on the Atlanta Uni

pus, DR.. Nabrit declared: "We
are sick Of evasions, weary of
excuses, fed up with promises
and want action now-liberty
now-equality now."
Decries "OfferS"
"The white man offers us
gratuities when we seek divi-
dends," DR.. Nabrit continued.
HE offers Us contempt when
we seek justice. He offers us
insults when we seek equality
He offers US violence when we
seek the right to vote. He offers
us gradualism when we seek
integration in the schools. He
offers US privileges when we
seek rights. He offers US prison
when we seek liberty"
The Howard president praised
the court decisions, presidential
executive orders and actions by
Government department which
have been effective measures
for the civil rights cause. He
described the sit-in demonstra-
tions and freedom rides as "a
refreshing rainStorm" in the
battle for civil rights and he
paid tribute to the voice Of
the silent, law abiding, tolerant
Southerners who are beginning
to speak out" against racial
injustices.
Referring to his position as
co-chairman of the District
Commissioners Crime Council,
DR.. Nabrit said he is alarmed
at the widespread evidences of
lack of family cohesiveness and
the heavy incidence of crime
in the country's feighborhoods.
II think it is high time that

all-out effort to combat crime

Mr.. Lehman said, yer,
Confinement Of Presiden n
Kennedy's proposal to salary
only should not be interpreted
as a disregard for other ele-
ments of compensation. Before
the (pay) proposal was for
warded to Congress, there was
a review Of available informa-
ton on total compensation in
private enterprise and in the
Government, and the conclu-
sion was reached that there was
no aScertainable Government
superiority in other areas of
compensation which might Off
set the need for compatibility
in salaries.
1.-The (pay) proposal could,
accordingly, be confined to the
immediate issue, which was
salaries"
However, Government off,
cialS as well as members Of
Congress realize that in COM
parison of salaries, the value
of fringe benefits is a valid fac
tor which cannot be ignored.
That's why the Budget Bu-
reau. the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, Commerce Department,
ETC.. would like to solve the
problem of making as accurate
and timely a comparison as
possible between Government
and industry fringe benefits.
Under such a system, there
could be an annual review and
comparison report on fringe
benefits, just as there is on
salaries.
