There is strong opposition
developing among members of
Congress to voting any pay
raise for themselves.
This is reported by Roll Call,
the newspaper Of Capitol Hill,
which has been gauging senti-
ment among Senators and Rep
resentatives on the matter.
If Roll Calls conclusions are
correct-and 1t has always had
a sensitive finger on the pulse
Of Congress - then President
Kennedy's prosposals tor addi-
tional Federal classified and
postal employe and Executive
Act salary raises this year are
In serious trouble.
II Congress doesn't raise its
own pay. 1t won't raise the Ex-
ecutive Act salaries OF cabinet
officers. agency heads. etc. And
in turn. II Executive Act pay
isn't raised. then the chances
for Federal classified and
postal employe pay raises are
dimmed, because many Govern
ment career employees would
then be making more money
than their political bosses.
Roll Call says there is lit
tie chance Of Congress voting
itself a pay raise this year, and
even less chance next year
which is an election year,
II reports that many mem
bers feel that raising their
present $22,500 a year salaries
at a time Of such a large Fed
eral deficit, plus anticipated
Federal tax cuts, would be poll
tical suicide.
OF course. Federal classified
and postal workers will get the
pay raises already authorized
for them next January /. But
any additional pay raises may
be deferred until next year.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Congress Held Reluctant to Vote
Own Pay Roise-And Others

UPHELD-In an important de-
cision. the United States Court
Of Claims has upheld the right
Of Government career employees
TO the job protection rights Of
the Lloyd-LaFollette Act even
though they have been trans
ferred to non-civil service jobs
and even though they didn't
object to the transfer at the
time.
Thus. the court went a step
further than the historic United
States Court of Appeals deci-
sion about six or seven years
ago in the Roth case. In that
case involving a Justice De-
partment lawyer who had been
under civil service before his
job was transferred TO an ex-
cepted schedule, the court held
he was entitled to full Lloyd
LaFollette job protection rights
In the new case CSaltzman
VS.. the United States. the
Court Of Claims said that such
protection is still assured civil
service employees even when
they raise no objection at the
time TO their jobs being trans
ferred out Of civil service. In
the case involved, the employe
offered no objection at the time
and three years later accepted
a promotion in his excepted
job.
The court said. This Nigh;
be construed TO amount TO q
consent TO the action taken
but, even so. II is well settled
that II is against public policy

waiver OF a right attached tr

sress."

Philip Called Hunter
Who Is Trigger-Hoppy

LONDON, May IA (AP). -
Queen Elizabeth's husband,
Prince Philip, has been de-
nounced as a trigger-happy
hunter who sets a bad example
to youth with his fondness
for blasting down wild life.
The broadside was delivered
in an annual report by the
League Against Cruel Sports,
one of the most jealous of
Britain's prolific animal pro-
lection societies.
It said that throughout the
year, the league has continued
to give attention to the trig-
ger-happy exploits Of the
Queens husband" it added:
Apart from the Princes
well-known habit Of shooting
down game birds by the hun
dred for the kick of doing 1t,
perhaps the worst example he
set to British youth through
out the year was when he al
lowed his 13-year-old son to
get an extra kick on his sum-
mer holiday by shooting a stag
with a rifle at short range"
Philips son, Prince Charles,
was a few months away from
his 14th birthday when he
took the pot shot at the stag.
The league said 1t was against
the law for under-14's to use
guns.
Here was the Prince" the
report went on, who often
Eliminates about status hunt
ers and those who kill game
for commercial reasons, allow
ing his son to secure a status
symbol that might be better
described as a badge of
barbarity."
Philips observations about

status hunters have been made
in his capacity as president Of
the World Wild Life Fund, a
body devoted to preserving
species in danger of extinction.
For a man to do this sort
Of thing and at the same time
pose as president of the World
Wild Life Fund can only be
described as humbug," the
league said. 1T would be we'll
if the Duke could ponder over
the influence for evil this sort
Of trigger-happy mentality has
on the average youth"

Staged in Hunt
For Key Facts

PHOENIX. Ariz. Nov. %
(AP). = Ten large military
hehcopters have crashed at the
Deer Valley Airport north of
Phoenix in the last three
years.
Within six months, two
four-engine transports prob
ably win smash into q nearby
mountainside.
Neither poor pilots, faulty
aircraft nor sabotage Is to
blame.
It's all done on purpose by
the aviation safety engineer
ing and research division of
Flight Safety Foundation, Inc.
The object is to find out what
causes injuries in aircraft
crashes, and to test equipment
designed to minimize such in
juries.
The division began crashing
helicopters in 1860 under a
contract with the United
States Army Transportation
Research Command. The ex-|
pertinent with transports, ten
tatively scheduled for Febru-
airy and March, win be done
under contract from the Fed
eral Aviation Authority.
Tests usually are kept quiet.
When news leaks out that a
twin-rotor H-21 helicopter is
going to crash, spectators
swarm to the test area.
The aircraft we are crash
ing are obsolete and on their
way to the junkyard," says d.
vision manager Victor E..
Rothe. 1--WE have to dig I'D
parts to make some Of them
work"
Mr.. Rethe says that infor-
nation gathered from the tests
has been very useful, and has
resulted in safety modifica-
tons for helicopters being
flown in Wet Nam.
Helicopters were dropped
from cranes moving along the
runway in early tests. How
ever. remote control now is
used to fly the craft to about
100 feet before the crash.
Inside the helicopters are in
struments, dummies, standard
equipment and experimental
devices designed by the divi-
sion. Manufacturers also may
have new designs aboard.
Manufacturers have their
own tests" Mr.. Rothe says,
but none in dynamic situa-
tons like this"
Experimental equipment may
include new seat and restraint
systems, fuel tank structures,
fuel qualification chemicals,
and setupS to cut off electrical
circuits to prevent fire.
Fire Is the big killer in
crashes" Mr.. Rothe says. "If
you can reduce and prevent

injuries. persons have q greater
chance to escape once the
whole thing has come to a
screeehing halt.
We feel that as long as
there is living space within
the aircraft. the crash Is sur
vivable," he adds. This is
probably true in all but some

FLA Proposes
Construction OF
E. Glacier Airport

Sen. Metcalf advises that "The
National Airport Plan, formu-
lated by the Federal Aviation
Agency, proposes a new airport
at East Glacier, NPS Director
Wirth wrote Senator Melcalf.
If a public agency applies to
the FAA for it's construction, the
latter agency could contribute a
portion of the funds required for
the construction, with the sponsor
furnishing the balance.
Wirth mentioned additional pos
sibilities through legislation auth
orizing federal participation in
airports " in, or in close proximity
to, national parks, n nation
monuments and national recrea-
ton areas" However, because
of the West Yellowstone airport,
and Tusayan airport near the
south rim of Grand Canyon,
this fund is currently nearly ex-
hausted," said Wirth.
