Doubled Income
Is Predicted for
Area Residents

The per capita income Of
Washington Metropolitan Area
residents nearly will double ir
the next so years, a special
study by the Department Of
Commerce predicts.
The study estimates that an
nual per capita income of area
residents will increase from the
$3.50 reported in 1857 to
$1,000 in the 2010.
In the overall Potomac
basin, income per capita will
increase from $2,250 to $4,000
in the same period, the study
reports. This growth rate will
be somewhat higher than the
national average, according to
the report.
This survey of the future eco
nomic and population growth
of the Potomac basin was made
for use in the Army Corps of
Engineers study of water re-
in the Potomac
River area.
The study said the expected
in personal income of
Potomac basin residents will
result in an increase in per
capita domestic and industrial
water consumption.
The report said population
in the Potomac basin will grow
from the 3 million listed in
1860 to more than 7 million by
the year 2010. ~
Most of the more than 4
additional persons will
live in the Washington Metro
politan Area, it added.

UNION BAN DEFEATED-In
approving and sending to the
White House the pension plans

have barred Labor Department
employees involved in admin

membership. Chief credit for
defeating the provision which
might have set a dangerous
precedent in barring other
groups of Federal workers from
union membership belongs to
the American Federation of
Government Employees which
effectively lined up sufficient
support to kill the provision.

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The Kennedy administration
has ordered Government en-
ployes who are delinquent in
payment of Federal, State and
local taxes to pay up or, face
loss of their jobs.
Civil Service Commission
Chairman John Macy, in a let
ter to all department and
agency heads, said "willful
neglect" on the part of en-
ployes in these matters "is in
compatible with continued en-
ployment in the CFederaD serv-
ice."
Mr.. Macy said he was aware
that in some cases there were
extenuating circumstances and
special problems and that some
were hardship cases. He said
the new policy should not be
one of "harshness" but one de-
signed to see that employees
meet their financial obligations
in these tax matters as prompt
ly as possible.
The text of Mr.. Macy's let
ter to department and agency
heads follows:
1.-The delinquency Of some
Federal employees in the pay
ment Of Federal, State or local
taxes has been reported. In re-
lation to the total number of
employees, these few cases may
have their greatest significance
in demonstrating that the vast
majority of Federal employees
are conscientious in discharg-
ing this major responsibility of
good citizenship. I am certain
that the record of Federal per-
sonnet as a whole compares
favorably with that of any
other segment of the popula-
ton.
Nevertheless, behavior in &C.
cordance with high moral
standards is to be expected
from all those who meet our
high standards of selection and
retention. Most, if not all,
agencies have formal state
ments Of policy emphasizing
that employees are expected to
pay their just debts. The state
ment of minimum standards OF
conduct for all civilian en-
ployes, transmitted to depart
ment and agency heads BY
White House memorandum
d. To- Jul 20, 1861, specifically
reads: Employees are expected
to meet all just financial OBJ
legations This standard Ger.
tainly was intended to place
payment of taxes as a primary

financial obligation of every
employee.
"It is appreciated that in
the general matter of indebted
ness there can be many special
problems, hardship cases and
extenuating circumstances. This
letter is not designed to call
for a policy of harshness. I
do urge, however, that all en-
ployes of your organization,
wherever located, be reminded
that taxes due to the Federal,
State and local governments
are an obligation Of the highest
priority and thatwillful neglect
is incompatible with continued
employment in the service.
Each department and agency
head should take appropriate
steps to assure full adherence.
Employees at all levels should
understand that this is not a
one-time drive but a state
ment of a firm and continuing
policy and part Of the general
effort to maintain the highest
standards of integrity in the
Federal service"
Il
DISCRETION ON PENAL
TIES-The Senate Rules Com
mittee has approved a bill to
give the Civil Service Commits
sion the discretion to waive the
present mandatory 80 = day
minimum suspension penalty
in cases involving Federal
workers found guilty of minor
or unintentional Hatch Act
violations.
At present the commission
must order the suspension for
at least 80 days of Government
employees found guilty of vio-
lating restrictions on the politi-
cal activities of Federal workers,
even though the offenses were
unintentional or of minor i'm
port.
The csc has strongly sought
authority to use its own discre-
ton in these cases. Under the
Senate committee-approved bill
the csc could let these en-
ployeS off with a warning or
reprimand.
