HISTORIC EVENT - The
first Government-wide negoti-
ated contract on all phases OF
working conditions OF employees
will be signed later this week

ficials and the representatives
Of the various postal employe
unions which have won exclu-
sive recognition for their vari-
Gus crafts.
The result will be TO give
postal workers more adequate
protection OF their Job rights
than any other group Of en-
ployes in Government.
More than 30 per cent Of all
postal workers belong TO I'M

why such strong Job rights
have been won for them.
The new negotiated contract
sets UP specific guarantees on
employe rights, adverse actions
and grievance procedures, i'm

By the Associated Press

After two months of dilly-
dallying, the 88th Congress
buckles down this week to some
serious floor action, starting
today with consideration OF
the draft extension bill In the
House.
Bills scheduled for votes In
both the House and the
Senate will give critics OF
President Kennedy's budget an
opportunity TO test their
strength and start toward their
goal of a cut of from $40 billion
to SIS billion in appropriations,
The Senate legislative menu
Is relatively thin. It serves up
a vote tomorrow on an adj
ministration bill to coordinate
Federal and State outdoor rec
reation facilities.
Initial Budget Fight
But Republicans have de-
cided TO use the bill for an
initial scrap in their budget
cutting drive. The measure
carries no actual appropriations
but would authorize a program
that would require some money
later. Such new programs, Re-
publicans claim, must be nipped
in the bud before they start
off Federal revenues.
A bigger and tougher budget
fight is due on the House floor
tomorrow when that body con-
siders a record $i5.8 billion
m hillary authorization bill
which will require some imple-
funds later.
If the @. o. P. is to succeed
in its drive for a big cut in
defense pro-
grams-which account for more
than half the budget-may
have to be pared sharply.
Anticipating q Republican
attempt to cut the military
bill, House leaders have said
there will be a roll-call vote
on the measure.
"If they want to take a
chance with national security,
let them stand up and be
counted" q Democratic leader
commented privately.
The House Armed Services
Committee has boosted the
military bill by about $497
million over the amount re-
quested.
The biggest share Of the in
crease, $363.7 million, is to step
up the controversial RS-70 re-
connaissance strike plane pro-
gram.

and not Just satisfactory" in
order to rate an in-grade pay
raise, should be eliminated or
revised to prevent unwarranted
denials Of these in-step raises,
employe leaders believe.
Incidentally, the administra-
tons pay proposals. including
moderate increases for Federal
classified and postal employees
and stable raises for SUPER
grade careerists, members OF
Congress and cabinet officers
and other top appointive Of
ficials. probably won't be sent
to Congress until the middle OF
April
The Budget Bureau and the
Civil Service Commission are
now drafting the various pay
proposals.
UNFAIR LABOR PRAC-
TICES-Labor Secretary Wirt7
has ruled that President Ken
nedy's Government labor
management executive order
does not give the Labor De-
partment the authority to ap-
point impartial arbitrators tc
hear Government employG
union charges OF unfair labor
practices by various Fedora
agencies.
The only instances in which
arbitrator can be appointed
are in disputes over unit deter
limitations, etc, between con-
testing Government employt
unions. and in advisory arbitra'
ton agreed 10 by the agency
and the union involved.

Draft Extension Debate
Brings Action in House

Chairman Vinson. Democrat
of Georgia, said the committee
wants to make sure the admin
istration doesn't put too much
reliance on missiles for stra-
tegic defense at the expense OF
the manned bomber.
The committee said the RS
10 development program, which
the administration wants TO
hold to three experimental
planes, should be stepped up
TO see whether the 2,000-mile-
an-hour plane can become an
effective weapons system.
So 1t called for a five-plane
development program and said
the best military judgment
available supports that plan.
The other committee addi-
ton is for construction Of two
more nuclear attack sub
marines. The Pentagon wanted
six built under the fiscal 1864
program, and the Navy sought
construction OF eight. The
committee went along with the
Navy, and said eight new at
tack subs q year would be q
minimum program TO make
sure the United States doesn't
lose its lead over the Soviet
Union In submarine warfare
capabilities.
Army Draft Needs
The draft bill UP for House
action today would keep the
draft in effect until July /,
1867, paving the way for In
duction Of an estimated $4,000
men. The Army figures 1t win
have to draft about 10000 men
during each Of the next four
fiscal years.
Representative Pucinski, Dem
ocrat Of Illinois, has said he will
try to have the maximum draft
age cut to az. II Is foolish
ness and folly" he says. to
leave men eligible to the draft
until they reach "the ripe age
Of e."
And, Representative Reuss,
Democrat Of Wisconsin, will
ask that the extension be made
effective for only two years
until July /, 1865.
The bill also would extend
the 13-year-old suspension Of
manpower ceilings which other
wise would be imposed on the
services. If the ceilings
became effective, the Army,
Navy and Air Force would have
to cut their strength by more
than 100000 men.

year, and New Mexico recently
beefed up its antidiscriminatio ton
statute by amending an old law
to provide stiff penalties for Hol-
ators.
Maryland passed a law this year
making it a crime to discriminate
in public places, but several count
les, including the one in which
strife-torn Cambridge Is located,
took advantage Of state consitu-
tion provisions that allowed them
to exempt themselves from it. In
stead, Cambridge offered voters a
local public accommodations mea-
sure. But many Negroes boycotted
the polls on the ground non-dis-
elimination isn't a matter to be
voted on, and the measure failed.
Negro leaders say that this sum-
mer's demonstrations have moved
some state officials to action, note
ably in Kentucky. There Gov. Bert
Combs issued an executive order
directing executive departments
and licensing agencies to draw up
new rules barring discrimination
by businesses licensed by the state.
Though execution of the order has
been held up pending elections next
month - and the order may be
ignored or rescinded by a new gov
ernor-a number of businesses al
ready have integrated. Even before
the executive order, Louisville
passed a public accommodations
law of its own.
