THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
!" GAO Study Results in Reduction
I Of First-CIoss Government TRIPS

OF course, past pay raise
drives have seen similar favor
able sentiments expressed for
the heavily organized and polit-
ically-powerful postal workers.
Yet, when Congress voted postal
pay raises, it also voted in
creases for classified employees.
Even so, classified employe
leaders feel that the situation
is potentially dangerous. All
signs point to Congress approv-
ing a classified employe pay
raise along with one for postal
workers. but it might well be
that the pay raise for postal
workers will be larger than
those for classified employees.
The administrations pleas for
substantial across-the-board
pay raises for upper middle and
top salary bracket employees
have run into trouble on
Capitol Hill.
Many members of Congress
are agreeable to sizable in
creases for key engineers and
scientists. Yet they balk at the
thought that all other employees
in these upper grades would
also get the same pay raises.
These members of Congress
candidly declare that many ad-
ministrative and executive per-
sonnel in these grades don't
deserve salary increases.

u. s, British
Weigh Attest
Plea 10 Reds

LONDON. April 9 LAP).-
President Kennedy and Prime
Minister Macmillan were re-
ported today to be weighing an
urgent new plea to Premier
Khrushchev to help stave off
resumption of atmospheric nu-
clear weapon tests.
British sources said the step
is under high-level study in
Washington and London and a
decision may be near. 1t prob
ably would take the form of a
personal message asking the
Soviet Premier to make a test
ban treaty possible.
Mr.. KhruShchev could do this
by allowing referee-groups to
investigate and verify any big
explosions that sound like nu-
clear test-blasts. For months
he has been refusing to do this.
Russia argues fair play can be
insured by faraway detecting
gadgets. Teams of detectives
would only Snoop and spy, in
Mr.. KhruShchev's view.
Last Chance
The idea behind the proposed
Kennedy Macmillan appeal,
according to informants, is to
give Mr.. KhruShchev a last
chance to change his mind be-
fore a new round of nuclear
tests begins. The United States
is planning a series on Christ
mas Island in the Pacific later
this month. The Russians
have said they will resume
their own firings if the Ameri-
can test plans go through.
President Kennedy and
Prime Minister Macmillan, de-
spite the advice of their mill
tary men, are believed reluctant
to start another round of COM
petitive EaSt-West testing.
Both have recognized they
were left little option after the
Soviet Union last fall fired off
half a hundred shots, giving
the Russians a chance to per-
feet new weapons and tech
niqueS.
Eyes New Summit
1t is everyone's secret here
that Mr.. Macmillan is eager
for any sort of action which
would safely avoid the need
for an East-West testing race.
The British leader thinks-or
hopes-Mr. KhruShchev may
be moving into a negotiating
mood. Mr.. Macmillan has Wis
ions, and he has let the coun-
try know it, of another big
power summit conference at
which Berlin and disarmament
issues might be profitably ex-
amined.
All this, coupled with de-
velopments in British detecting
devices, has led him to urge
the Americans to cut back
their verification requirements
to a bare minimum.

John Goodyear at the Foreign
Ministry expressed deep re-
gret" at the United States an
nouncement. 1t said the action
constitutes IAN important con-
crete preparation for testing
nuclear weapons"
The note urged the United
States to make further efforts
to conclude promptly an agree
ment with other countries to
halt nuclear tests. and at the
same time repeated Japan's
hope that the United States
will not conduct any such tests.
The protest also said Japan
reserves the right to claim
compensation from the United
States for any damages or
losses resulting from the es-
tablishment of the danger zone.

The Government is cutting
down on the use of first-claSs
air travel for its employees on
official business.
This results from findings Of
the General Accounting Office
that millions of dollars are be-
ing wasted by the Government
on firSt-class air travel by its
employees when tourist or coach
accommodations will get them
to their destinations just as
fast.
The Governments largest en-
ployer-the Defense Depart
ment-is issuing regulations
that require civilian and mill
tary personnel to use tourist
and air coach travel exclusive
ly- except in unusual situations
where first class travel is the
only means available. Also the
use of jet travel when non-jet
travel is available will be re-
stricted.
The Defense Department is
particularly cracking down on
first class jet travel, since all
let planes have tourist COM
partments at much cheaper
rates.
Defense's action results from
the General Accounting Offices
investigation which showed
that the air travel costs of mill
tary personnel and civilian en-
ployes last year cost the tax
payers STAT million. GAO said

rnodations woud save at least
20 per cent of this.
The GAO plans to look into

NEW DELHI, April 9 (AP).
- Prime Minister Nehru an
nounced the formation Of his
fourth cabinet today, keeping
virtually all his old ministers
and adding five new posts.
Mr.. Nehru. 72, retained the
portfolio of foreign affairs. v.
K. Krishna Menon kept the
defense ministry, Morarji Desai
the finance ministry md Lal
Bahadur Shastri home affairs.

search, cultural affairs and
parliamentary affairs and the
creation Of the new ministry

The election gave Mr.. Neh-
rus Congress Party a renewed
majority in Parliament thus
assuring him another five years
in office. The new cabinet will
be sworn in tomorrow.
The white-haired Mr.. Nehru
became Prime Minister in l947
when India gained independ-
ence. In 1852. 1857 and this
year he led the Congress Party

RETIREMENT COVERAGE
REJECTED-The Civil Service
Commission has sent a strong
report to Congtess opposing
legislation that would bring
National Guard civilian techni-
clans under the civil service
retirement systems. There are
about $4,000 of these employees
who are not Federal employees
but who are paid by the vari-
Gus States out of Federal funds.
The csc opposition was
directed at a bill sponsored by
Representative Henderson. Re-
publican of Ohio, which not
only would have extended le-
tirement benefits to these en-
ployes but health Insurance
privileges as we'll.
The csc said it has con-
sistently opposed" efforts to
place non-Federal employees
under the retirement system. 1t
declared that to do so would
open the door to include other
groups of non-Government
workers, with the result that
the financial integrity of the
retirement system would be
threatened.
LOVE THOSE POSTAL
WORKERS-Federal classified
employe leaders make no bones
about their uneasiness over the
sentiment in Congress regard
ing pay raises for Government
classified workers.
While many legislators seem
perfectly willing to support a
postal employe pay raise. they
are less enthusiastic about
raising the salaries of classified
employees.

the sentiments of many of hi:
colleagues when he remarked
