White House
Voted,2O-14
By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star staff Writer

A compromise civil rights bill
urged by President Kennedy
and Endorsed by House Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders
was approved by the House
Judiciary Committee today,
20 to IA.
This action came just as the
committee meeting was auto
matically ended by bells ring
ing for the start Of the daily
session of the House. 1t fol-
lowed an earlier 19-to-15 vote
rejecting a much sitter bill
recommended by a subcom-
mittee.
The committee needed less
than an hour and a half today
to dispose Of the subcommittee
measure and the somewhat
milder substitute worked out
after several White House and
Capitol bipartisan conferences.
The administration and leg /
islative leaders in general had
warned that the tougher meas
ure never could get through
Congress this year.
Challenge Possible
The House committee indi-
Gated it would meet again in
a day or two for final ratifi-
cation of the language and
other technical details Of the
compromise version voted to-
day. One member raised the
possibility that he might chal-
lenge the validity Of today's
vote for approval because he
said the committee roll call
was not completed before the
House session began.
Chairman Celler, Democrat
Of New York, declared, how
ever, that the roll call had been
finished and that he had an
nounced the result before the
bells started ringing. Under
House rules. most committees
cannot meet during House ses-
sions unless they obtain unani-
nous consent.
Mr.. Celler declined to dis
close the voting lineups on the
subcommittee bill and the COM
promise bill. Representative
Tuck, Democrat of Virginia, in
Dictated that practically all Of
the 10 Southern Democratic
and Republican members voted
against the compromise version
and that most of them also OPP
posed the substitute.
Mr.. Tuck protested in an in
terview later, that the COM
mittee struck down all its rules
and procedures" in voting on
the two bills so hastily and
without giving most members
an opportunity to study the
compromise version.
Other Complaints
Several Democratic and Re-
publican members who had
pressed for the stronger bill
also complained that the COM

just off the House floor.
Representative Ed Foreman,

Mr.. Foreman, who is 20 and
the youngest member of the

record.
Mr.. Foreman and other

By MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star staff Writer

Chairman B. Everett Jordan
of the Senate Rules Committee
today disclosed that his COM
mittee is considering hiring
outside counsel to conduct the
Senate's investigation of the
Robert G. Bobby Baker case.
The committee chairman re-
vealed the debate over outside
counsel after the committee
was cloSeted for almost three
hours with Senator John j.
Williams, Republican, Of Del
aware.
Senator Jordan said that
committee members from both
sides of the aisle "felt probably
that outside counsel with no
Government connections should
be employed" because the in
vestigation will center on
present and past Senate en-
ployes.
Williams Surprises Some
Senator Williams, the COM
mittee chairman said, surprised
some committee members with
what he had to tell about the
business activities of the former
secretary of the Senate Demo-
cratic majority. Senator Jor-
dan said he was not surprised
himself because Senator Will
liams had reviewed the material
with him before he appeared
before the full committee.
Senator Jordan told news.

presented the committee with
some documents "for what

ator Williams had not at.

ments himself since that i;
what the committee is for.
Senator williams also gave
the committee a list of wit
nesses but no date was set fol
calling them.
Senator Jordan announced
that the next meeting is sched-
uled for Friday. At that time
he said, a closed session will
be held to determine what out
side counsel, if any, will be
employed. He said that there
was a difference of opinion
over whether there should be
a majority and minority coun-
sci and how much of an investi-
eating staff will be needed.

U.S.PayRaise
Passes Hurdle
InCOmmittee
Final Approval
OF House Unit Nov
Come Tomorrow
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star staff Writer

House Civil Service Commit |
tee members reached agree
ment today on pay increase
proposals for lower-grade Fed
eral workers and on maximum
salary increases for members
OF Congress and the Govern
ment's top appointive officials.
With this action, the COM
mittee appears to have laid
the groundwork for final agree
ment on the wide-ranging pay
raise legislation.
Another committee session
was scheduled for tomorrow,
and members were optimistic
that final action could be taken
then toward reporting the bill.
The anchor for the proposed
pay scales is an agreement that
pay increases for members of
Congress. the top political jobs
in the legislative branch, and
Federal judges beno more than
$4,000. The actual increases
for these jobs are to be worked
out at tomorrow's meeting.
Raises for Classifieds
The committee today also
reached a compromise agree
ment on pay hikes for the first
five grades for classified en-
ployes and the first four grades
for postal workers.
Under today's action at the
committees executive session,
these classified and postal
workers would be given pay in
creaSes amounting to about 8
per cent above the salary in
creases proposed in the admin
iStration-backed bills intro
duced by Representative
Broyhill, Republican Of vir-
ginia, and Representative Udall,
Democrat of Arizona.
The agreement on the lower
grade salaries reflects a mid
point compromise between the
Administration proposals and
the higher increases called for
under legislation introduced by
other committee members. in
GLIDING Representative Nor
rison. Democrat Of Louisiana.
The pay hikes now under
consideration for all classified
and postal workers would be
over and above the salary in
creases already authorized by
Congress to 60 into effect in
January.
Specific pay scales for the
lower grades had not been
worked out when today's meet
ing broke up.
Increases In Two Grades
The Administrations pro-
posal called for giving no in
crease in the first two CLASH
fled grades, a $40 yearly raise
in grade 8, a $135 hike in grade
4 and $165 in grade S. The
Morrison bill proposed in
creases ranging from 5000 to-
$455. The new pay scales, I'M
der today's compromise, would
fall roughly halfway between
these pay raise levels for the
five grades:
Grade /, $3,3O5 and $3,5O5;
Grade 2. $500 and $3,840;
Grade 3. $500 and $4,l25;
Grade 4. $4,35O and $3.50,
and Grade 5. $4,855 and $5,l45.
The postal proposals also
would hit at about the half
way point between these levels:
Grade /, $500 and $4,O45;
grade 2, $4,135 and $4,380;
grade 3, $4.480 and $4,754 and
grade 4, 1885 and $5,145.
In general, the administra-
tion-backed bills call for lower
increases in the lower grades
