Discharged Aides
Appeal Is Heard
By the Associated Press

The Civil Service Commission
has completed a hearing on the
appeal Of William E. Morris,
former Agriculture Department
official who was discharged in
connection with the Billie Sol
Estes case.
The closed hearing was be-
for an appeals examiner, who
gave Mr.. Morris attorneys a
month in which to file a brief
summarizing Mr.. Morris posi-
ton. A commission official said
it may be two months before
the examiner hands down a
decision. This ruling will be
subject to review by the COM
Missions Board Of Appeals.
Mr.. Morris was removed from
his $14,000-a-year job because
he refused to make himself
available for departmental
questioning about the Estes
case.

Pomeranz, the father Of three

was described by Mr.. Morgen-

the theft Of the securities. He's
the fellow who paid money to
Dodge, who in turn split the
proceeds with Tallman."
Mr.. Hogan's office said Pom

Tallman 5 per cent of the
proceeds on the stolen stock,
but all they actually received
was a down payment of $4,000.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
White House Specifies Objections
To Pay Bill Up in Committee

provides an objective, clear-cut
process that can be applied an
nually to give fully justifiable
results.
THE proposed amendments
to the postal salary schedule
provide annual in-grade step
increases to steps 2 through Z
and, thereafter, one step in
crease every three years. This
varies from the Presidents
plan, which provides annual in
creases to steps 2 through 4,
then increases every 2 years to
steps 5 through Z, thereafter
increases every three years, and
repeats the present longevity
features. The effect of the STEP
increase features Of the pro-
posed amendments are not
clear; for example, they do not
state whether the present lon
gevity plan is to be retained or
repealed.
The Classification Act salary
S C h Jules in the proposed
amendments drop the new
grades Oslo and 20 urged by
the President. The creation of
these levels is highly desirable
to embrace a number of key
positions not now under the
Classification Act. Pay rela-
tionships at executive levels
will be unnecessarily inequit-
able IL these grades are not
authorized.
THE proposed amendments
include the same provisions as
the Presidents plan regarding
in-grade step rates to be paid
after promotion in the Postal
Field Service.
Finally, the propose
amendments provide a two
phase plan with the first phase
effective retroactively rather
than the three-phase plan ef-
fective January /. 1868, which
the President has strongly
recommended"

PROVOCATIVE FEATURE
in the House committees bill
in thhe House committees bill
to the administrators liking is
the one that would raise top
grade 18 of the Classification
Act to an eventual $24,500.
However, the provision states
that until salaries of members
of Congress (who now make
S22.500) are raised to at least
$24,500, the top Classification
Act salary would also be $22,-
; 500. Once Congress gave itself
a raise, however, along with in
creases for those under the
Executive Pay Act, grade Is
would be raised to $22,5 500.

As the House Civil Service
Committee meets today in an
. effort to take final action or
: postal and Federal employee pay
raise legislation, 1t had official
, word from the Kennedy ad-
ministration that the White
House is definitely opposed to
some Of the provisions under
consideration. q Ell
Specifically, the administra-
ton is opposed to the proposed
IL to IA per cent total average
increase for postal clerks and
letter carriers. the initial July
l, 1862, effective date, the two
phase instead of three-phase
raise, the dropping of addi-
! tional grades 10 and 20 in the
Classification Act, and to high
er increases for lower-salaried
classified employees.
The administrations position
leaves open the FEASIBILITY of
q. presidential veto should the
disputed provisions be enacted
On the other hand, various
House committee members
point out that the administra-
ton is getting virtually every
thing else it wants in the way
OF dle-brackets and upper
salary pay and consequently
should be prepared to yield a
little on the other provisions.

because they were not derived
logically from the national av-
erage private enterprise rates
reported by the Bureau of La
Dor Statistics. as were the sal
ary rates in the Presidents
plan. Although some of the
final-phase salary rates Of the
Presidents plan are adopted
for the middle grades, the final
phase schedules of the pro-
posed amendments contain SAL
airy rates in the lower grades
that are arbitrarily much high
er and salary rates in the upper
grades that are arbitrarily much
lower than rates resulting from
an objective and logical deriva-
ton from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics private enterprise
rates.
"The salary schedules in the
proposed amendments main
tain the logical and justifiable
differences between grades and
within-grade rate increase pat
terms of the Presidents plan
only in the middle levels. They
present an illogical array of in
tergrade differentials and with
in-grade rate increases in the
lower and upper levels that
would provide no improvement
over the present schedules,
They fail to provide salary diff
ferences related to work-level
differences, an essential prin-
ciple of the Presidents plan.
Moreover. the salary sched-
ules of the proposed amend
ments do not provide the neces-
sary linkage Of salary rates for
the same key work levels in
each of the statutory salary
systems, as does the Presidents
plan. While one key work-level
link is retained in the middle
grades - that is, PFS-11 and
GS-11-no linkage at all is pro-
vided in the lower and upper
sections Of the schedules, leav-
ing this single link in the mid
die section without effect. To
be effective, linkage must be
provided at one work level in
each Of the lower, middle, and
upper sections of the schedules
The Presidents plan follows
this method and thus includes
salary schedules that provide
equal salary rates for CON-
parable work levels.
Salary rates in the lower
levels of the proposed amend
ments have been fixed in part
by using two practices which
we believe to be unsound: One
is the practice of dropping of
the entrance step, which ha:
been done in the first sever
PTS levels, thus raising thai
portion Of the schedule; the
other is the practice of increas.
ing salaries by flat percentages
which has been done in the first
four GS grades. Such prac.
tices are among the illogica
features of past Federal pay
increases that the President'I
salary reform is designed II
replace.
THE arbitrary manner o,
setting the salary rates in thu
proposed amendments is no
reliable and cannot be used il
the future as a continuing reg
ular method for maintaining
Federal salary schedules in lint
with private enterprise salariei
for these work levels. To bt
reliable. an annual review proc
esS must be systematic, objec'
tive, and capable of application
to the average private enter
prise salary rates reported eacf

Statistics. The Presidents plal

as its target.
At the same time, Mr.. Nor
genthau announced the arrest
of a 18th defendant in the
theft of $1,370.475 worth of
blue chip stock certificates
from the Wall Street brokerage
house. He is Edward Schoen-
berger. a 30-year-old artist
and interior decorator, who also
is known as Bobby Edwards.
Pomeranz, who has worked
as a part-time interior deco
rator, walked into Mr.. Hogan's
office a few hours later. He
was accompanied by his attor-
ney. He ignored reporters
questions.
Here is how authorities have
reconstructed the stock theft:
The inside man was Gordon
A. Tallman, 80, a clerk at Bache
for eight months. He smuggled
the stock out of the Wall street
office under his shirt in mid
June.
On the outside, Robert j.
Dodge, "a, an unemployed truck
driver and friend of Tallman,
turned most of the stock over
to Pomeranz for disposal.
