The Labor Department has
established a policy in granting
within-step pay raises to its
employees that could we'll serve
as a model for other Federal
agencies.
The department signed an
agreement with Labor Lodge IL,
American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees, which gives
Labor Department employees
specific rights and sets up def
mite criteria regarding the
granting Of these in-grade pay
raises under the new "accepta-
bic level of competence" provi-
sion Of the pay reform law.
This is in contrast to some
other agencies where employees
have been denied in-step raises
because of the whims or preju-
dices OF supervisors and are not
given any reason why they were
denied the increases. nor given
any advance notice or a chance
to appeal.
Under Labor Departments
agreement with the AFGE lodge,
the following procedures are
established:
/. II a supervisor feels that
an employees work is below an
accepted level Of competence, he
must give the employe in writ
ing 100 days before the en-
ploye's next scheduled in-step
raise the following details:
(A). An explanation Of each
aspect Of performance in
which the employees services
fall below an accepted level
and how this renders his per-
formance on the Job as a whole
below an acceptable level.
OBJ. A statement on the ac-
ceptable level Of performance
on each Of those work aspects
tC). Advice as 10 what the
employe must do TO bring his
performance up 10 the accept
able level.

level unless his performance
improves to the acceptable
level.
(E). A statement that he has
a period of so days in which to
bring his performance up to
an acceptable level.
2. At the end Of the 60-day
period, the employe will be
notified in writing Of the
supervisors determination. This
notification must be given 80
days before the waiting period
is completed.
3. 1t is agreed that the deter
mination that an employees
performance is not Of an ac-
ceptable level and the stand
ards which serve as the basis
for this consideration may be
reconsidered through the use
OF the exclusive recognition ac-
corded Labor Lodge IL and the
established bargaining proce-
dures:

Senate investigators have
received testimony from a for
mer Government aeronauticS
expert that Defense Secretary
McNamara's award Of the TX
warplane contract to the Gen.
eral Dynamics Corp over the
Boeing Aircraft Co. could moi
be justified on its merits.
Albert w. Blackburn of Be-
thesda, Md, who worked on the
Tx project while in Mr.. Nc
Namara's research office, said
the Secretary's decision "could
be justified only on the basis
of a broad, high-level policy OF
1.-THE administration"
In no way, he added, could II
be associated with the merits OF
the rival proposals on IAN op-
Irrational, technical manage
lment or cost basis"
Mr.. Blackburn, who left the
defense Department last
March, was the witness as the
Senate Investigations subcom-
lmittee resumed hearings yes
terday on the Tx controversy
1t involves q contract which is
Expected eventually to total
more than sos billion.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat of
Arkansas, is seeking to find out
If political influence figured in
the award. The investigation
got underway early in the year,
amid such rumors, but Mr.. Nc
Namara has insisted the award
was made to the Fort Worth,
(Tex) company entirely on
merits.
Tells Of Concern
Mr.. Blackburn told the sub
committee that after its hear
ings got underway and nearly
four months after the award
was announced, "top-level tai
ent" in the Pentagon was put to
work on justifying Mr.. Nc
Namara's decision.
This was undertaken, he said,
when the course of the inquiry,
which started in February, be-
came "a source Of deep concern
to the top echelons" Of the
Government.
From my professional back
ground" the witness said, II
Immediately became struck
with the firm opinion that the
work being undertaken in de-
fense Of the Secretary's posi-
ton was not being done objec-
lively. 1t appeared to be rather
an attempt to overturn the
hundreds Of thousands of
man-hours that had been ex-
pended by several hundred
civilian and military technl-
clans to achieve an objec-
tive analysis of the two pro-
posals."
The witness said that two
teams, one called red" and the
other blue" were established
as part of the Pentagon's ef-
fort to prepare Mr. McNamara's
justification. He said he was
asked to serve on the red
team, which was to prepare
"the case for Boeing." He de-
scribed this as "a kind of
devils advocate exercise to as
sure that all possible chal-

by May is, when his legal six
year term expired. Mr.. Barbot
told newsmen who interviewed
him at his hideout this week
that he was still confident he
would overthrow DR.. Duvalier.

Mr.. Blackburn: mo, sir"
Senator Mcclellan: How did
1t come to you?"
Mr.. Blackburn: "It was pro-
posed by one of the members
Of the blue team"
Senator Mcclellan: do you
know whether It was done with
Secretary McNamara'S consent
:. or under his direction?"
Mr.. Blackburn: 81 cannot
testify to that, sir"
The witness testified that
the red team turned in the ma
terial it had used during its
study. In response to a question
by Senator Mcclellan, Mr..
Blackburn said he did not
know whether instructions we're
given to burn the material.
There was not Immediately
any further reference to this
part in that portion of Mr.
Blackburn's testimony that was
made available from the morn
ing hearings.
The witness testified that
when he became aware that
Mr.. Mcnamara wished to re-
lease data generated after the
decision in a highly charged
atmosphere such as existed at
the time" he personally pro-
tested to his immediate superior
on two occasions.
MY impression from these
conversations was that the
Secretary intended to go ahead

Grief Voiced
By KhrushcheN
Interrupts Tour
To Visit Embassy

MOSCOW, Nov. % AP)-
Premier Khrushchev, the man
who faced President Kennedy
in the cold war, mourned his
Western opponent today and
said his death was q blow to
those who work for peace. In
an extraordinary visit Of con-
dolence to the United States
Embassy, Mr.. Khrushchev said
he and his nation were deeply
bereaved.
The Soviet leader interrupted
a tour in the Soviet Union and,
dressed in black, called on
United States Ambassador Foy
D. Kohler to express his sorrow.
For 20 minutes, he recalled to
Mr.. Kohler his one and only
meeting with Mr.. Kennedy
A conference on cold war issues
in Vienna in 1861.
Then with Foreign Minister
Andrea A. Gromyko at his side,
Mr.. Khrushchev signed a book
of condolences set up near Mr..
Kennedy's photograph in the
hall of Mr.. Kohler's residence.
Message to johnson
The Premier sent messages to
President Lyndon B. Johnson
and Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy.
He told Mr.. Johnson:
81 am deeply grieved by the
news of the tragic death Of the
outstanding statesman, Presi-
dent John Fitzgerald Kennedy
of the United States of
America.
THE death of j. F. Kennedy
is a hard blow to all people
who cherish the cause Of peace
and Soviet American corpora
ton.
The heinous assassination
of the United States President
at a time when, as a result Of
the efforts of the peace-loving
peoples there, appeared signs
of relaxation of international
tension and a prospect has
opened for improving relations
between the USSR and the
United States, evokes the in
dignation of Soviet people
against the culprits of this base
crime.

sonal meetings with President
u. F. Kennedy as a person OF
broad outlook who realistically
assessed the situation and tried
to find ways for negotiated
settlements of the international
problems which now divide the
