PLEA FOR UNDERSTANDING

PIE FOR UNDERSTANDING
THESE STANDS will have to face up to the race ques.
ton some day. Unless that is done there will be smouldering
and smouldering, and every now and again there will break
out some ugly flames which may SINCE the good and the bad
Such a SITUATION came to the fore during the hearings just past
hearings which were beth late and Of no effect, and which
did not confine themselves to the question at all.
THERE is a law against discrimination on the books OF
these Islands. However, everyone knows that laws are not
enough. The real solution to pr judice, bigotry, race and other
types Of hatred is in the hearts of men. And if this sound
s~anctimonious, then all one has to do is take one fleeing
glance at the United States. Slavery was outlawed 100 years
ago, and vet men in certain sections Of the land Of the free
and the home of the brave" still suffer from deep, unwavering
hate and mistrust of their brothers of darker skin.
America has been embarrassed before the world by its
Little Rocks, and its Ceorgias and MissssippiS. How, the out
side world asks, can a nation claiming to be the citadel OF
democracy, spend so much time and energy and money in
Segregating and Merchandising its citizens, and America can
not answer.
THESE STANDS have an excellent opportunity to show
the way. Democracy can work at its fullest right here, and men
can live in happiness and understanding. But it requires more
than lust laws on the books, and both sides must do every
thing possible to 90 beyond the mere letter of the law. 1t il
bad enough for some misguided visitor to bring his SkanniSh
ways with him, but it is worse for the other side to stir up
hatreds and keep friction alive.
o YEARS and years this place remained quiet, doing
little OF nothing for itself. Then people began coming, buying
~expendng great sums Of money. OF course, they are going
to bring their habits and systems with them, and there is where
the native often made his mistake in disposing of his land
and having no place to which to return. If a man owns and con
trolls, then he will naturally want to impose his will, which
easily includes his ~preiudices and manners of every kind.
TIME to begin a serious and conscientious program
to develop true, democracy is right now.

voted against this proposal because
| do believe it is unwise to grant
any one person the discretion to

salary of federal employees gener-
ally does not compare favorably
with the salary of persons perform
ing similar tasks in private indus
try In many cases the period of
training for government employ
ment extends over many months
and during this time the taxpayers
do not receive full benefit from the
person in training. Only when a
new employee is fully trained does
the government receive its full
benefit from the individuals en-
ployment. However, a situation
presently exists whereby some
employees, after becoming fully
trained, find that they are being
paid inadequate wages for the skill
they possess. AS a result. there is
current turnover in trained gov
eminent personnel who are moving
to non-government employment.
This high turnover creates a low
ering of efficiency and requires the
training of new personnel at great
cost to the government.
In the final analysis, the success
of our government and nation can
be no greater than the individual
and collective successes of the per-
sons who are performing the many
governmental tasks in Washington.
across our country and throughout
the world. We have the obligation
to provide our country with the
best personnel obtainable to carry
on its varied tasks.
The people working for the gov
eminent also need a pay raise Gov
eminent service is of course COM
pensation in and of itself and most
public servants serve with a devo-
ton and loyalty above the required
StdIltdl Us. iiONCNCl. JiiC HiSH NOo-
of living is the same for govern
ment employees as for those in pri-
vate industry. The government en-
p'oyee has the same personal de-
sireS for advancement as those en-
ployed in private industry. The gov
eminent employee deserves to be
Justly compensated for his services
the same as does the person en-
ploved in private industry.
Therefore, I am pleased that the
Congress has taken a federal pay
reform program under conSidera-
ton The proposal under consider
alton would adjust federal salaries
on continuing basis in order to
make them relatively comparable
to prevailing private enterprise sal
aries for the same level of work
and would establish and maintain
realistic and appropriate salary re-
lationships both within and among
the federal grade levels
I will be giving my full support
to this study and will work to
achieve final approval of legisla-
ton which removes all inequities
which exist in the present federal
salary system.
