British Role
In European
UnityFdVored

LONDON, Aug. 29 (AP). -
Prime Minister Macmillan re-
vealed today previous aSSur-
snces to Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer Of Britain'S whole
hearted interest in working for
European political unity after
the West German leader had
expressed some doubts.
Mr.. Macmillan ordered publ
cation of part of a private let
ter he wrote Mr.. Adenauer last
month. Mr.. Adenauer, in a
television interview last night,
had expressed reservations
about British participation in
a West European political
union.
The publication of Mr.. Mac
millan's private letter, described
here as unprecedented, under
lined a growing GOODNESS be-
tween the two statesmen on the
issue Of Britain'S future role in
the Continent. French PreSi-
dent Charles de Gaulle also has
been described as privately cool
to British entry in the Common
Market, although both he and
Mr.. Adenauer have stated pub
licly they want Britain in.
Mr.. Adenauer said in the
television interview that as a
German and q European he
greeted Britains eventual mem
berShip in the economic union
Of West Germany, France,
Italy, the Netherlands. Bel
gium and Luxembourg. But he
said that 1t had never been
documented that all members
Of the Common Market should
also be members Of q European
political union.
Mr.. Aoenauer said Mr.. Mac
milan told the British House
Of Commons July II British
membership in the Common
Market does not imply member
ship in a political union of
Europe as well. But in q letter
he wrote me four days later.

port, which will be sent annu-
ally to the President and the
Congress, is expected to provide
eventually true compatibility
between Federal and industry
pay.
For the time being, however,
raising the Classification Act
ceiling to $40, 900 instead Of the
22,500 approved by the House
committee (the present ceiling
is $18,50O will mean lesser
(though still CONSIDERABLE in
creases for other top classified
grades, particularly those in
grades IA to IT. And even the
middle grade pay raises will be
less than those proposed by the
House committee, although the
increases still will be fairly sub
stantial.
Regarding postal workers
and Federal classified employees
in the first few grades, the
Senate committees bill Is ex-
pected to revise downward
slightly the pay increases voted
by the House group as part OF
the Morrison bill. Still. postal
workers stand to get an ade-
quate raise Of about to IL pei
cent.
In another conciliatory move
toward the administration, the
Senate committee is expected
to defer start of the pay raises
to October /, 1862, instead Of
the July l, 1862 starting date
approved by the House COM
mittee.
The present thinking among
Senate committee members is
to make it a two-phase raise
over a 15-month period
October /, 1862 and January /
1864. The House committees
bill would have the second

years to pilot a Mercury cap

tedly lesser, disappointment
has come into the life of the
39-year-old Mr.. Strauss.
The German born camera

tim of the worst hurry up and

news. Increasingly, through

This week Mr.. Strauss
learned that his instrument
will not fly after all. Somebody
at the Manned Spacecraft Gen.
ter in Houston, Tex, called
signals off, and the Strauss
camera has been grounded.
The GO-Ahead
The camera was developed
under a $4,000 contract from
the Goddard Space Flight Gen.

Albert Boggess and Lawrence
Dunkelman at Goddard called
in Mr.. Strauss last July 8 after
they got the go-ahead for a
highly specialized Photographic
device.
DR.. Boggess and Mr.. Dunkel-
man wanted spectrograph

ultraviolet light emissions of
the mysterious "air glow" OBJ

Star Staff Writer

After a three weeks hiatus
from the Washington scene.
this reporter has returned TO
find Government pay raise
prospects brighter than ever.
In fact, all involved in the
situation - Democratic and
Republican members of Con-
gress as we'll as administration
officials - are unanimous in
predicting that pay raise legis-
lation will be enacted this year.
Final enactment probably
won't occur until the final week
of this years session of Con-
gress, which should be around
the last week Of September.
Actually, there has been no
further official action on the
pay bill since it was approved
by the House Civil Service
Committee nearly four weeks
sgo. The House group Is now
putting the final touches on
the official report accompany
ing the bill.
However, significant though
unofficial progress on the bill
has occurred on the Senate
side.
Behind-t h e-scene meetings
between Chairman Johnston
and other Senate committee
members with administration
officials and employe union
leaders have paved the way for
legislation that soon will be
approved by the Senate COM
nlittee.
The bill is expected to be
satisfactory to administration
officials and employe leaders
alike. 1t will be a package af-
fair, containing both pay raises
and postal rate increases. In
this way, Senate approval will
send it directly to House-Sen-
ate conference, since the pay
raises will be tackled onto the
postal rate bill, which already
has been approved by the
House.
Thus, House action on pay
raises can be bypassed. This il
an.tmportant consideration
since conservative chairman
Tom Murray Of the House Civi
Service Committee is in nj
hurry to secure House actor
on the pay legislation.
The Senate committee bill i
expected to lower the proposed
$22,500 Classification Act cell
ing to about $4,000. While tn
administration would prefer t,
see the House committee
S22,500 figure prevail, it feel
that in a relatively short tim
its compatibility pay proposal
will prevail anyway, since tn
bill provides for an annual pa,
review by a special presidentia
committee. This review and re

insurance would not decline in

with the present amounts Of

ANNUITY RAISES-A House
Civil Service subcommittee I,
meets tomorrow to wind up its
hearings on the bill to raise
the annuities Of retired Fed
eral workers as well as liberal
ize other retirement provisions
for present and retired Federal
workers. The Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee has approved a
similar bill.
All indications are that such
legislation will be enacted into
law this year.
DUES TREND-The United
Federation Of Postal Clerks at
it's biennial convention has
voted a record dues increase
that will yield the union an es-
timated $360,000 in additional
revenues each year. The dele
gates voted to raise the monthly
per capita tax by Is cents-the
largest single boost in the
unions half century Of exist
Ience. It means 81 a month per
capita tax for each member for
the national office.
This may spur similar action
by other postal and Govern
ment employe unions who are
holding their conventions with
in the next few weeks. Employe
leaders declare that the cost of
lobbying on behalf Of Federal
and postal employe legislation
as well as processing griev-
ances, ETC., increases every year.
Also, the new labor-manage-
ment system in Government
means more expenses for the
unions in representing their
members. Thus, union leaders
feel that higher dues are es-
sential.
Incidentally, Roy Hallbeck
was reelected president Of the
clerks. Others elected were
John O'Connor, legislative di-
rector; Donald Dunn, execu-
tive vice president. and Owen
Schoon, secretary treasurer.
Other officers such as Paul
Nagle, Joe Thomas, etc., who
were leaders Of other postal
unions which merged with
UFPC a year or so ago, were
not subject to election at this
convention and won't face elec-
ton until the next convention
two years hence.
