The Government is making
an extensive review of the
Federal wage board systems
that could have an adverse eff
feet on the salaries paid the
Governments 100000 per diem
(blue collar workers.
The review is being made
jointly by the Civil Service
Commission, Budget Bureau
and the Defense Department,
which employs 100000 of the
100000 Government per diem
workers. The pay of Federal
per diem workers is set by de-
partment and agency wage
boards, based on the prevailing
rates in industry.
Last year the appropriations
committees of Congress ex-
pressed the view that salaries
Of Government per diem work
ers were in many cases higher
than that Of comparable in
dustry jobs.
It's reported that Defense
Secretary Mcnamara. whose
department is the largest en-
ployer of Government per
diem workers. also has come
around to this point of view.
The Civil Service Commits
sion and the Budget Bureau
have decided to review the en-
tire situation, along with De-
tense Department, to see just
what the situation is and
whether changes should be
made in determining the pay of
Federal blue collar workers.
One of the complaints leveled
at Federal blue collar pay is
that it is higher than average
industry pay, since it has
higher pay steps for each wage
grade above the entrance rate.
OF course, any move to
change the present Govern
ment per diem pay system
would meet the strong opposi-
ton Of the unions, particularly

SICK LEAVE USE-A Civil

comparing sick leave use by
men and women employees in
Government dashes the widely
held impression that women
use lots more sick leave than
men.
While it is true that women
use more sick leave, the aver
age amount is only ~ days a
year more than that used by
men. And this includes sick
leave taken by women for ma
ternity purposes. The average
number Of sick leave used by

Dirksen Sees
No Tax Action
BefOreMar.15
By ]. A. OTEARY
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy's tax re-
duction bill, which he hoped to
get through Congress this year.
will not reach the Senate floor
until March IS, in the opinion
Of Senate Republican L. a der
Dirksen.
If the Dirksen forecast is
borne out, the Senate probably
will be embroiled in the fight
over civil rights at the start of
the 1864 session in January.
The G. o. P. leader virtually
ruled out action on either civil
rights or taxes during the re-
naming % working days of
this session.
In reviewing the legislative
situation for the Republican
Policy Committee yesterday,
Senator Dirksen figured that
the time remaining before the
Christmas recess will be taken
up with the following work
load:
Passage of the $3.7 billion
foreign aid bill, which may re-
main before the Senate until
Friday.
Completion Of eight appro-
priation bills, including the
District budget, which should
have passed by July l.
Passage of the temporary in
crease in the n national debt
ceiling to a new high of $315
billion for the next seven
months.
Final action on the higher
education and vocational edu-
C alton bills, which have
reached the stage of conference
between the houses.
House and Senate conferees
reached agreement late yester-
day on the $168 million legisla-
tive appropriation bill, which
has been tied up since June by
a fight over the Senate attempt
to curb House mailing privi-
leges.
The amendment in dispute
would have stopped members
Of Congress from sending out
mail addressed only to "the &C.
cupant" or a box number.
The House contended that
the Senate was breaking an
unwritten custom that each
body should control its own
housekeeping problems. In
yesterdays conference the SEN
ate yielded by applying the ban
only to Senators.
When the conference agree
ment is returned to the Senate,
however, Senator Dirksen indi-
Gated there may be a fight
against lifting the ban on
House mail.
There were reports today
that another fight may develop
between the House and Senate
over calling the increase in the
debt ceiling temporary.
one prominent Republican
pre- dicted that if the word
temporary" is in the debt bill
when it passes the House, an
effort may be made in the Sen
ate to eliminate it on the
ground that deficits are In
prospect for several years to
come and that 1t is unrealistic
to call the higher debt ceiling a |
temporary condition.
Asked if he was ruling out
civil rights action this year,
Senator Dirksen indicated he
did not see how that bill could
pass the House before Decem-
Der 10, which would leave the
Senate only seven or eight
working days to consider it be-
fore the Christmas recess.
