THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Compatibility Pay Adjustment
Far From Abandoned, Rally Told

and-go proposition"
The Postmaster General said
the pay compatibility law sis
a milestone in recognizing that
public employees are not Sec
ond-class citizens and are en-
titled to fair pay" He called on
Congress to approve the pay
raises without delay"
Mr.. Macy also emphasized
that this year will be the acid
test as to whether the pay COM
patability concept will be ad-
hered to.
II look forward with every
hope and expectation that this
will be a year of success and
blaze the trail for the future"
Mr.. Macy declared.
The csc chief recognized the
fact that additional Federal
classified and postal employee
pay raise adjustments depend
to a large extent on pay raises
for top Government political
officials and members of Con-
gress. He indicated that Presi-
dent Kennedy soon would send
to Congress his Executive Act
salary pay raise proposals.
Mr.. Kennedy already has sent
to Congress his proposals for
raising the pay of Federal
classified workers by an aver
age Of as per cent-actually
ranging from 2 to 26 per cent
and postal workers by 80 per
cent. These increases would be
in addition TO the raise already
authorized by last years pay
reform law which will 90 into
effect next January /.
Meanwhile, the administra-
tons pay bill was introduced
yesterday by Representative
Udall, Democrat Of Arizona, a
member Of the House Civil
Service Committee and the
brother Of Interior Secretory
Udall.
MOVE TO END TIME LAG
Mr.. Macy had some additional
good news for Federal classified
and postal workers.

Top administration officials
have assured Government and
postal employees that the Ken
nedy administration has not
abandoned its compatibility
pay raise adjustment proposals
this year.
There had been considerable
conjecture that the admins
tration, in view Of the economy
mood in Congress plus the
pending battles on tax cuts,
budget slashes, civil rights, etc.
had abandoned pay raise plans
until next year.
However, at the opening ses-
sion of the National Associa-
ton Of Letter Carriers pay
raise rally yesterday at the
Statler Hotel, administration
officials specifically scotched
these reports.
, They emphasized the ad-
rninistration is most anxious
that the pay compatibility
concept Of last years pay re-
form law-whereby Govern
ment and postal salaries are
TO achieve and maintain COM
parability with industry pay
be adhered to by Congress this
year by making the necessary
salary adjustments requested
by President Kennedy.
Postmaster General Day and
Civil Service Commission
Chairman John Macy empha-
sized that this Is the crucial
year as far as the pay COM
parability principle is con-
cerned. Since this is the first
year following last years pay
reform law in which the sys-
TEN was established for an an
nual review and considera-
ton Of Government and postal
pay by Congress. failure by
Congress TO act this year would
virtually kill the annual pay
adjustment feature before 1t
even got started. the officials
declared.
1--WE must be consistent" Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-17

He said the administration
recognized the fact that there
is now too great a lag between
the time the Bureau of Labor
Statistics makes a survey of
comparable industry pay and
the time that Federal and
postal salaries are adjusted.
For example, the second-phase
raise Of last years pay reform
law which goes into effect next
January / is nearly two years
behind industry pay. This is
because the latest BIS survey
was completed in March, 1862.
Mr.. Macy said the csc and
the Budget Bureau are now
working on plans to shorten
the time lag. One proposal be-
ing considered is to have more
frequent BIS surveys. Another
is to make pay raises retroactive
to at least the first of every
year.
At the NALC rally attended
by nearly $500 letter carrier
delegates from every State,
Letter Carrier President Jerome
Heating emphasized the tough
pay battle that lies ahead. He
stressed the lethargy among
many members Of Congress to-
ward a pay raise this year and
emphasized that the letter car
rier delegates must emphasize
how important it is this year
that Congress indorse the pay
raise compatibility principle by
taking action.
Noting the successful conclu-
sions Of past pay raise rallies.
Mr.. Heating said he was opti-
mistic that Congress would ad-
just Federal and postal salaries
before adjournment.
One thing that is giving Gov
eminent employee leaders a bit
more confidence than they had
a month or two ago is that
Congress seems destined to be
IN session until at least the
middle or end OF November,
which gives 1t plenty of time
in which to act on pay raise
legislation.

Some of the opponents have
made that argument against
the administration bill to ban
discrimination in hotels,
restaurants, and other business
places.
Senator Hart, who was a vice
president Of the Detroit Tigers
before coming to the Senate,
made the point that baseball
did not poll the players when
it decided to integrate.
Senator Thurmond, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, the
only outspoken opponent of
the public accommodations bill
on the committee, made the
point that what was accom-
plished in baseball was done
voluntarily and not under the
compulsion of law.

they are lasting" said Senator
Thurmond.
II think you have a tougher
Job if you have to force

Mr.. Prick said he could not
say exactly how many Negroes
are now in professional base
ball because no records are
kept in the commissioners Of
flee that would show the race
or religion of players. He made
a guess that there are more
than 100 Negroes out of about
500 active players in the bis
leagues.

BY raising short-term inter-

Avoid Drastic Action
To avoid the necessity for

The payments deficit was at
an annual rate of $50 billion
in the first three months of

float fewer bonds to pay for
highways and other facilities.
Individuals may buy fewer
houses and spend less money
on consumer goods.
Reduced borrowing in all
these areas might cut produc-
ton, curtail employment and
generally dampen economic
activity. If the domestic econ
ony had been booming, the
Federal Reserve would have
raised interest rates long ago
to combat the payments deficit.
But the economy last year was
sluggish.
Economic gains this spring
persuaded the Federal Reserve
to experiment with slightly
tighter money.
The Federal Reserve hopes
interest rates will rise sub
Stantially only on short-term
credit, which has less signifi-
canoe for the domestic economy
than long term borrowing. The
theory is that the supply of
money available for mortgages
and other long-term lending is
so large that interest rates will
not rise much in this area.
Long-term credit is consid-
cred most significant for slim
ulating economic growth. This
is the area affecting mortgages
on housing, State and local
construction bonds and major
business investments.
Theories Disputed
These theories on the adj
vantages Of higher interest
rates are challenged by q minor
ity within the Federal Reserve
Board and by advocates of easy
money in Congress.
The critics contend the policy
moves will raise long term in
terest rates as long as short
term rates. They predict higher
rates will retard the domestic
economy. prehaps causing a re-
ceSsion.
Some Democrats charge that
the tighter money policies vio-
late the party's 1860 platform
pledges.
Furthermore, the critics con-
tend, there is no proof that
higher rates will significantly
reduce flows of capital to for
eign money markets.
Stimulate Economy Instead
They maintain that the way
to reduce capital outflows is to
stimulate the American econ
omy, making the United States
a profitable place to invest.
Low interest rates and plenti-
full credit are essential to boost
the economy, they contend.

Opening lead: Jack Of spades.
East wins the first trick with
the ace of spades and must
make an important decision on
how to continue the defense.
1t is barely possible that West
has led from six spades headed
by K-J-1O. If so, the defenders
can get six spades and two
diamonds. An optimistic East
would return a spade at once
to get on with the good work.
A cautious East would reflect
that West may not have the
king of spades. In this case,
a spade return would permit
South to make the contract.
Cautious Defense
The cautious line Of defense
requires East to kill dummy's
long diamond suit. East must
take the ace of spades and re-
turn a club to remove one Of
dummy's side entries to the dia-
mondS.
Declarer takes dummy's king
Of clubs and returns q diamond.
East takes the first or second
diamond and returns another
club to remove dummy's other
entry.
Then East makes sure to re-
fuse one diamond trick. When
East finally takes his second
diamond trick, South is out Of
diamonds, and dummy has no
side entries.
Deprived Of the diamonds,
South cannot make enough
tricks to score game. Declarer
gets two spades, two hearts,
one diamond, and three clubs.

hands for the contest, calculate
