ONE MANS OPINION -
Govern m emit employees can
hardly be blamed for getting
angry at the opinions expressed
by Representative Talcott,
Republican Of California.
Addressing a group of college
students in Salinas, Calf, Mr.
Talcott discussed the salaries
paid military personnel and
Federal civil service employees
and went on to express the fol-
lowing views:
THE civil service has a lobby
and the military doesn't.
civil service is sort of para
site and people are working
there because they can't work
anywhere else.
THE military are dedicated
people. Our military is the best
in the world and our civil serv-
ice one of the worst"
Fortunately. most members
of Congress don't share the op.
Union of the freshman member
from California. However, any
time such attacks are made il
tends to offset some of thu
good that merit system advo.

ENDS - Government employees
will have a record number Of
three-day holiday week ends
during 1864.
There will be six occasions.
The reason is that several
years ago Congress enacted a
law giving Federal workers the
preceding Friday off whenever
a legal holiday fell on a Satur-
day. During 1864 three legal
holidays fall on a Saturday.
Here are the three-day holt
days: Friday through Sunday
over Washington's Birthday,
Friday through Sunday over
Memorial Day, Friday through
Sunday over the Fourth Of
July, Saturday through Mon
day over Labor Day, Friday
through Sunday over Christ

CENTRAL WAGE BOARD
SYSTEM - At its recent con-
vention, the AFL-CIO opposed
a central wage board system in
Government for Federal per
diem (blue collar workers.
The AFL-CIO also called for
a change in the Governments
labor management program so
that impasSeS in collective bar
gaining negotiations can be re-
solved.
Also, the AFL-CIO voted
support of a proposal for run
off elections in the labor-man-
agement program when COM
peting unions fail to secure a
clear majority in an earlier rep
resentative election. Also, 1t

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

Government employees face a
year Of austerity as far as their
employment is concerned.
"A strong economy program
launched by President Johnson
is expected to cut personnel ex-
penSes to the bone.
It's expected to curtail pro-
motions, draStically limit Off
cial travel, impose greater work
production standards for en-
ployes and to eliminate any
new hiring except for jobs
deemed critical for the nation
al welfare.
Some employment cuts are
expected, mainly through attri-
ton. But some direct layoffs
probably will result on a small
scale. Separated employees
probably will be offered other
iobs, but this could be to other
locales.
No mass layoffs are antici-
pated, at least not in the
Washington area. But a small
number Of employees here could
feel the brunt Of layoffs caused
by the economy wave.
President johnson, it is clear,
Is absolutely determined to i'm
pose severe economy standards
in Government, particularly in
the personnel and management
areas.

am very grateful for the invi-

the hospitality shown.
I expect to meet with Mr..
Erhard and hold the meeting
he had planned to hold with
Mr.. Kennedy. I will meet him
on the 18th and 29th Of this
month at my home. I expect
to meet with the President Of
Italy in the early part of the
new year, with the Prime
Minister Of Canada, with the
President Of Mexico, and with
any other leaders where it is
indicated a conference would
be mutually desirable.
G.: Mr.. President, Secretary
Freeman. referring to your re-
marks earlier, said he would
consider poverty as an import
ant concern Of yours in the
administration. Is there any
attempt going to be made to
coordinate the various ap-
jproaches to the national prob
lem in the rural areas?
A. ANY kind Of poverty win
be a concern of this admins
tration, and a very serious
concern of it. All Of us know
enough about it to not want
the people to have to expert
ence 1t any more than is abb
solutely necessary.

the leaders of the farm organ
izations Of this country. I have
asked them to try to find areas
Of agreement and to give me
their recommendations and be
prepared to give them to the

are some indications that the
Senate may desire to act on a

BuiIt-In Increases
Keep Budget Up

I am working from a budget
Of 1888 billion this year. 1t
appears that we will expend
about that amount, and maybe
a little under or q little over,
but substantially $99 billion
will be the expenditures this
year. That was the amount
of Mr.. Kennedy's budget.
There are built-in increases
of $1,790,0 100000 that are man
datory-military pay increases
for nine months, military
retired pay, civilian pay, ma
tional aeronautics and space
contracts, the Agency for In

and you have no choice about
that. You will have to add
that much. Then we have, as

that we have passed, the men,

program on poverty, about ST.

you can say SIT billion and

billion.
Now, in addition to that, you

that are requested for addition

majority of the agencies-asked
for an increase Of some kind.

The President: You mean
have that many friends out
there that I have been missing
all of these days? I thought
everybody I knew had been in
here.
@. Mr.. President. could you
give us an exposition of your
attitude toward perhaps an
early meeting with Premier
Khrushchev?
A: I am ready and willing to
meet with any of the world
leaders at any time there is
any indication a meeting would
be fruitful and productive.
When there are such indica-
lions, I will be glad to make a
decision and inform you of it.
I have already made a deci-
sion this morning, which I had
anticipated opening the meet
ing with, to follow through on
my December IA announce
ment of Mr.. Thomas Mann, as
Assistant Secretary of State in
charge of Latin American
affairs.
Because I want Mr.. Mann to
be the one man in the Govern
ment to coordinate the poll
cies of this hemisphere after
consultation with the Secretary
of State, I am going to make
him not only the Assistant
Secretary of State in charge of
Latin American affairs. but
Special Assistant to the Presi-
dent.
AS Special Assistant to the
President to coordinate our
policies in Latin America, he
will be dealing with many
other American agencies and
other international agencies.
We expect to speak with one
voice on all matters affecting
this hemisphere. Mr.. Mann,
with the support of the Secre-
tary Of State and the Presi-
dent, will be that voice.
@. Mr.. President do you
plan to ask for any legislation
in the area Of presidential
succession or disability, after
your experience Of the last few
weeks?
A. I have no plans. have
already carefully considered
the disability matter and taken
the action that I thought was
necessary and desirable. I have
a complete understanding and
agreement with Mr.. McCor-
mack. House Speaker Nc
Cormack. who is next in line

any new assignment planned
for him, and if you will see
him?
A.: 1 would be glad to see
him. I have no new assign
ment planned.
O.: Mr.. President, can you
tell us whether the budget will
be under 500 billion or over?
A.: No one knows what the
budget will be now, because we
are trying the case. so to
speak. We have dozens Of
agencies, independent agencies
and cabinet departments, who
have made their requests and
have not yet had it acted
upon.
Once it is acted upon, they
still have the right to appeal
to the President. The Joint
Chiefs will appeal to the Presi-
dent from the accommodations
they have made on December
80 at johnson City. We have
set that date, and at that time
we will try to finalize the

Defense.
