Job Ruling
Is Reversed
By the Associated Press

The Civil Service Commits
sion has withdrawn a ruling
that had been denounced by
Republicans as an attempt to
turn career employees into
propagandists for the Kennedy
program.
Senator John ]. Williams,
Republican of Delaware, in the
midst Of yesterdays Senate
floor fight to overturn the rul-
ing, announced he had been
called and notified of the with
drawal by Commission Chair
man John w. Macy, jr.
A commission spokesman
confirmed that this decision
had been made. Senator Will
liams told the Senate he was
gratified by the action. He then
dropped an appropriations bill
rider which he was pushing
to try to block the ruling.
The ruling, issued recently
as a part Of a guidance memo
randum from Mr.. Macy to top
administration officials, said
career employees could appear
before interested groups to ex-
plain administration proposals.
Senator Williams and some
other Republicans had charged
that this was an effort to con-
vert Civil Service personnel into
advocates of President Ken
nedy'S measures.
Mr.. Macy noted in his ruling,
however. that Federal en-
ployes are prohibited by law
from engaging in any publicity
or propaganda to support or
defeat legislation before Con-
greSS.
Senator Williams rider would
deny any salary to any en-
ploye who acted under Mr..
Macy's ruling.

The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
OF Arkansas, is investigating
whether Western Electric, as
the prime contractor, and Doug
las Aircraft Co., as its chief
subcontractor, received millions
of dollars Of excessive "pyra-
mided profits" in developing
and producing the Nike system.
Before Mr.. Smith took the
stand, a subcommittee investi-

Electric collected profits of

Robert E. Dunno, assistant
subcommittee counsel, said
Western Electric's own produc-

On that basis. he said, Western
Electric's profits amounted to
31.3 per cent Of the work it did
itself.
The rest Of the work was
done by Douglas Aircraft Co.
and other subcontractors. Their
bills to Western Electric added
UP to SLOT billion, Mr.. Dunno
said, bringing Western Elec-

Figured on that basis, Mr..
Dunno said, Western Electric's

Mr.. Smith urged that the

the President would designate
a board member to fill the va
cancy for the unexpired term
not for a full four-year term.
Traditional Feature
AS a transitional arrange
ment, the term Of a chairman
or vice chairman appointed
prior to January 81, 1865, would
expire on that date, under the
proposed legislation.
Mr.. Kennedy also said that
for a President to appoint a
chairman of his own choice
shortly after his resignation,
there should be an opening on
the Board of Governors to fill
at the same time. Terms Of
board members now expire on
January 81 in even years. To
make them expire in odd years,
he proposed that the terms Of
the incumbent Governors be ex-
tended by one year.
Mr.. Kennedy had recon-
such changes in his
economic message to Congress
on January 20.

u. ). Officials
Strive toAvert
Pan Am Strike
BY the Associated Press

Top Government officials
worked today to stave off q
threatened midnight strike OF
pilots on Pan American World
Airways.
| An 11th-hour appeal by Pres
ident Kennedy brought post
ponement at least until mid
night of a walkout that had
been threatened last night.
Representatives of the air
line and the Air Line Pilots As
sociation resumed their talks
this morning, with some indica-
tons Of progress.
Undersecretary OF Labor w.
Willard Wirtz reported private
ly on the situation this morn
ing to Secretary of Labor Gold
berg.
Pan American already has
agreed to Mr.. Kennedy'S pro-
posal that the touchy issue Of
jet flight crews be placed before
three arbitrators named by the
President.
The union still is considering
the plan after postponing for
"a hours a strike by 1,400 Pan
Am pilots.
The Presidents dramatic bid
to avert a walkout he said would
be "deplorable and unneces-
Sary" came after hours of ef-
forts by Mr.. Goldberg to OBJ
tain a settlement ended last
night in failure.
Mr.. Kennedy stepped into the
dispute with a declaration that
this shutdown of one of our
most important carriers is un-
necessary and should not oc-
cur"
He asked union and manage
ment to submit their dispute
to final and binding impartial
arbitration :"
Mr.. Kennedy chose DR.. George
Taylor of the University of
Pennsylvania, President George
Meany of the AFL-CIO and
President Edgar Kaiser of
Kaiser Industries, Inc, to serve
as arbitrators.
He told the airline and the
pilots:
The services Of Pan Amer
lean World Airways and its
crews are important to the Ma
tion'S economy, particularly in
view Of the international opera
tions Of this airline and the
impact Of its earnings on our
balance Of payments"
The flight crew issue - Mr..
Kennedy called it a "vexing
problem"-involves Pan Amer
leans desire to cut the basic
crew Of Jet airliners from four
to three men.
He noted that every one in
volved has agreed "in princi-
pie that this reduction in crew
size should be made"

measuring profits against the
amount of work done in West
ern Electric's own plant, as at
tempted by the subcommittee
staff. He said this method
"has no standing that we can
discover in economics or ac-
countancy."
Under this method, he said,
profits Of a firm doing the
maximum possible amount Of
work in its own plants, without
regard to cost or efficiency,
would seem more reasonable
than those Of a firm which
"sets out to do a good job by
familiar standards"
Mr.. Smith said the l3 per
cent return on investment in
Government work compares
with a 9 to 10 per cent return
on investment devoted to the
company's telephone business.
But he said the Nike project
required several times as much

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Automotion Hurting VAEmpIoyes
Despite Steps to Lessen Impact

due to lose their jobs as the
Government steps up its auto
nation program.
With the Government due
to hire several hundred thou
sand new employees in the next
few years, employe leaders say
that careful central planning
by the Civil Service Commission
and the various departments
and agencies could result in
reassigning employees displaced
by automation to new jobs in
other agencies.
The VA and Internal Reve-
nue. Service thus far are per-
haps the two Federal agencies
that have made the most use
of alternative devices.
Both VA and IRIS have kept
the employees welfare in mind
and are doing everything they
can through retraining, reas-
signments and holding vacan-
cies open to minimize the effect
on their employees.
The case at VA is typical of
what has happened. In the
early stages of the automation
program, very few employees
were hurt. They were retrained
or reassigned for other jobs in
the agency.
But as the use of automatic
data processing devices in
creased, the machines bit off
more jobs than these job-Sav-
ing policies could digest.
The result at VAS insurance
center. for example, has been
the issuance of layoff notices
and downgradings.
Some 120 employees have beer
given separation notices effec-
tive April 80 and ITS have been
reduced to a lower grade
Another 10 per cent cut in the
clerical force is in the offing
The employees attitude was
expressed by Royal Sims, presi-
dent of AFGE Lodge $40 at the
VA installation. Mr.. Sims said
the lodges purpose is not tc
fight automation.

ton and growth at home ard
for the defense of the dollar

The principal officer OF the
system must have the con-
fidence of the President" he
added.
This is essential for the

policies Of the Government"
Would Increase Pay
The legislation would in
crease the salary of the Federal
Reserve Board Chairman from
$20,5O0 to $25,o00 a year, and
the pay of ither board men,
bers from $4,000 to $4,000.
The President told Congress
that william McChesney Mar
tin, jr.. present board chair
man, whose term would not
be affected by the proposed re-
visions, concurs in the recon-
changes.
Mr.. Martins term as board
chairman expires next March
81. The changes proposed by
the President would not take ef-
feet until 1865.
Mr.. Kennedy suggested that,
beginning in 1865, the term Of
the chairman and vice-chair-
man be set at four years each
starting on February / follow
ing the election of the Presi-
dent. Should either office be

overall cost to the Govern
ment," he said. But we do feel
very strongly that our Govern
ment has a definite RESPONSE
bility to its trained employees
whose skills are now being re-
placed by the machine.
Many of the employees being
dismissed contributed substan-
TALLY to the ADP program.
Now. the very system they
helped make a success is divest-
ing them of their livelihood.
The point is made that sub
stantial employment cuts can
still be achieved by automation
without endangering jobs of
present Federal workers if care
and planning are used by the
CSC and other Government
agencies. With the vast turn
over of Federal employment
each year through retirements
designations and deaths, all of
the employees displaced by au-
tomation can be slotted in some
of these jobs and still leave
plenty of vacancies untitled to
achieve an overall Govern
ment job reduction.
The Civil Service Commits
sion has been devoting its
attention to the automation
problem only in respect to
training personel officers to
reduce personnel paper work.

The serious threat Of auto
nation to the Jobs Of many
thousands of Federal employees
can be seen by its impact on
the Veterans Administration.
The VA has done everything
1t could to lessen the impact
Of automation. Yet hundreds
Of employees have lost their jobs
and hundreds Of others have
been denoted in grade.
And the end is not yet.
TIL situation has caused the
American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees and its presi-
dent, James Campbell, to urge
the Civil Service Commission
to set up a permanent place
ment system that would cut
across agency lines in finding
jobs for Federal employees dis
placed by automation.
Under the proposal, the CSC
would give these employees top
priority in filling jobs in other
Government departments and
agencies, should there be no
other jobs available for them
in their own.
Under the plan, agencies and
installations throughout the
country would file their en-
ployment needs at least three
months in advance with the
CSC here and in the commits
sion regional offices throughout
the country. This would give
the CSC opportunity to refer
the displaced employees for jot
placements.
Federal employe leaders also
plan to discuss the situation
with members of the House

tistics, which has jurisdiction
