volved in the instant case have
been sufficiently widespread to
warrant additional legislation"
Hands Tied
However, Mr.. Marshall made
plain that, based on Justice
Departments Interpretation Of
present law, no action can be
taken.
Mr.. Byrnes disagrees, citing
Statute 10, use 600, which
reads as follows: Whoever,
directly or indirectly. prom
ises any employment, position,
work, compensation. or any
other benefit, provided or made
possible in whole or in part
by an act of Congress, to any
person as consideration, favor,
or reward for any political
acticity or for the support or
opposition to any candidate for
any political party in any cleo
ton, shall be fined not more
than $1,000 or imprisoned for
not more than one year, or
both"
Mr.. Byrnes said this statute
expresses the intent of Congress
that Fedeal employees should
not be coerced by anyone to
make campaign contributions,
and that those engaged in such
activity are violating the law.
Regardless of whether the
Kennedy administration can be
induced to enforce the law as
written. a simple question of
morality is involved" Mr..
Byrnes said. ''It would seem
that the least this administra-
ton could do would be to in
vestigate the charges, and If
they are sustained. to withdraw
this appointment"
Government employe leaders
are also seriously concerned
about the incident. They feel
the Justice Department inter-
probation of the law could sub
ject Federal employees to pres
sure by politicians of both
parties. depending which party
is in office, to use non-Federal
politicos such as State and local
officials, party hacks, etc., to
coerce contributions from Gov
eminent workers at their
homes, etc.. on threats of get
ting them fired.

ACCEPTABLE PAY BILL
The House Civil Service Com
mittee Tuesday is expected to
approve a pay raise bill that
will be acceptable both to
President Kennedy and Gov
eminent and postal employs
unions.
Great credit belongs to Rep
resenetative Morrison, Demo-
crat of Louisiana, the groups
ranking majority member, who
has skillfully offered a series
of amendments designed to
reach an effective compromise
that both the administration
and employe groups will like.

By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star staff Writer


A Wisconsin Republican
member of the House has
taken issue with the Justice
Departments position that,
under existing law, Federal
employees may be coerced for
contributions to political par
ties as long as the solicitors are
not themselves employees Of the
Government.
Representative Byrnes, Re-
publican of Wisconsin, who
feels there is a violation Of the
law involved in this sort Of
thing. calls the Justice Depart
ment's decision a shocking
conclusion"
''If this decision is a final
one, it is clear that the door
is now open for any Democratic
official, so long as he is not in
the Federal service or on Fed
eral property. to approach any
Federal employee, openly and
without fear Of prosecution,
and threaten to get him fired
if he does not pay protection
money to the Democratic
Party" Mr.. Byrnes declared.
Later Appointed
The issue erupted when Mr..
Byrnes asked Attorney General
Robert Kennedy to take action
against a Democratic fund
solicitor In a small Wisconsin
town who was charged by
postal employees with represent
ing himself as their next post
master and threatening them
with loss of their jobs unless
they contributed 2 per cent of
their salaries to the Democratic
Party.
The man involved subse-
quently was appointed acting
postmaster and is now await
ing Senate confirmation.
When Mr.. Byrnes asked that
legal action be taken, the
Justice Department said it
could not be done.
Burke Marshall, Assistant
Attorney General in charge of
the civil rights division, said
in a letter to Mr.. Brynes:
Federal law does not pro-
hibit a person who is not in
the Federal service and who is
not on Federal property from
soliciting Federal employees
for political contributions or
from accepting such contribu-
tons from them. Nor would
threats by such a person Of the
loss Of Federal employment
constitute q Federal offense
But any such intimidatory
action taken by that person
after entering the Federal
service would violate 10 use
sos as well as other provisions
Of Federal law"
Mr.. Marshall added that
Congress would doubtless
wish to consider whether OF
not practices such as those
which are alleged to be in.

+ Representatives Broyhill OF
Virginia and Wallhauser of
New Jersey, Republicans, and
Udall Of Arizona and Olsen of
Montana, Democrats, also de-
serve a lot Of credit for the
constructive roles they have
played.
Based on a series Of test
votes yesterday. it appeared
that the committee on Tues
day will approve a bill generally
along these lines, although
some changes may be made:
The pay raises will be in two
phases, the first part retro
active to July l., 1862, and the
second part on July /, 1868.
Administration officials are
trying to get effective dates of
October l, 1862, and October l,
1868, and this may be debated
In committee.
The pay raises for classified
employees will probably range
from a minimum of rs per cent
for the first five grades to
about Is per cent for the TOP
grades. The present $18,50O
pay ceiling will be raised to
$22,5O0.
The Morrison Broyhill pro-
posal for classified employee pay
raises would result in these
salaries for classified employees
in the first phase of the raise
effective July /, 1862.
Grade I, 1896 to $4,355;
grade Q, $1,000 to $4,000; grade

so miles northeast of Bangkok
and landed at the crash site.
