Termination of Cost-of-Living Is Before Congress

WASHINGTON R - The Civil Service Commission proposed yes terday elimination over 6-year period the living allow ances paid federal employees in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
 Cutbacks in the tax-free allow ances, which run up to 25 per cent in Alaska, would be compensated for by salary increases allowed under the Federal Salary Reform Act of 1862.
 That law provides for salaries of federal civil employees to be comparable with average private enterprise pay levels.
 Termination of the cost of living allowances was outlined in bill sent to Congress by the commission. The gradual phase out'' of the allowances would be- gin with the first pay period after Jan. 1, 1864.
 The average private enterprise salaries would be determined in periodic surveys of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
 John Macy Jr., chairman of the commission, said that, in areas where increased base rates are not warranted, ''the allowances can be terminated through a series of
 small reductions, so that, with very
 few exceptions, no employe vii l than he is now getting. g The proposed bill would allo,
 higher salary rates in Alaska, whe l warranted, than are set by tn , 1862 Salary Reform Act

COOPER GIVEN CO., AHEAD FOR AT LEAST l7 ORBITS OF EARTH

CAPE CANAVERAL R-Astro- naut Gordon Cooper was given the go ahead late today for at least IT orbits of the earth. The deci- sion came during Cooper's seventh orbit.
 A Space spokesman said:
 We have verified the textbook perfection of the flight. All on- board systems are OK. Most inn portant, pilot Cooper is OK"
 Cooper is aiming toward 22 or bits. There'n be a decision on whether to carry on for the full route after IT,. After completing six, Cooper set a new record for time in space for an American. Walter Schirra made the previous longest US. fligit of six orbits last October
 Cooper, 36, an Air Force major, rocketed into space aboard a pow erful Atlas booster which blazed away from Cape Canaveral at 8:04 am. EST (2:04 am. Nome time) with roar and a flash of flames.
 Five minutes later the 1A-ton space craft had settled into it's planned orbital path more than 100 miles above the earth.
 Cooper took the control stick to rotate his capsule 180 degrees so that he was riding upright and backward, with the crafts blunt heat shield pushing a path through space.
 AS he turned the capsule around Cooper told Walter Schirra at Cape Canaveral he could see his spent Atlas booster following behind him very closely, also in orbit.
 His orbit ranged from 100 to 16O miles above the earth.
 The Faith 2 capsule reached a peak speed of 17,546 miles an hour and circled the globe once every 88.45 minutes.
 The flight, conducted in the full glare of publicity in contrast with the secrecy of the Soviet Unions manned space flights, was hailed by people around the world.
 Among millions of earthbound people around the globe, there seemed to be greater enthusiasm for the American manned space flight than at any time since John Glenn scared aloft as the first or biting American on Feb. 2, 1862.
 This probably was because the two orbit flights in between were relatively short--M. Scott Carpen- ter's three orbits and six orbits by Walter Schirra-in contrast with the GA and AS orbit missions made by Soviet cosmonauts Andrian

White Shoppers Boycott Birmingham's Business Districts

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. R - An economic wise squeezed this racial ly troubled city tighter today as white shoppers stayed away from the downtown business district in increasing numbers.
 A department store executive said there are rumors of a white boycott in protest of a bi-racial agreement which includes gradual desegregation of public facilities in the downtown area and better employment opportunities for Ne groes.
 The executive, who declined to be identified, said his store - one of the city's largest - had noticed a serious decline in busi- ness since rioting last weekend. But he said it was difficult to say whether the decline was caused by boycotting or the general con- ditions of the time Meanwhile, Negroes appeared to be shopping in the downtown area in greater numbers than since they began a boycott of downtown mer- chants last spring.
 The department store spokes- man said white boycott on top of the Negro boycott would be tragic to the city's business out look.
 In Montgomery, attorneys for pr. Martin Luther King Jr. and 10 other Negro ministers argued that a state anti-demonstration in. junction was excessive, vague ane unconstitutional.
 The integration leaders ar, scheduled to begin five-day jai sentences in Birmingham tomor row for refusing to obey the in junction granted April 10. The Ne. groes were arrested April F while leading a Good Friday pro- test march
 A Negro leader said earlier that Gov. George Wallace is trying to undermine the bi-racial agreement on Birmingham's racial problems by keeping state troopers in the city.
 While the Rev. Fred Shuttles- worth was calling on Wallace last night to remove the highway pa trolmen, Wallace again was calling on President Kennedy to with draw special federal troops he sent into Alabama.
 Wallace replied to Shuttles- worth, one of the top leaders in the desegregatiCn campaign, that the state troopers would remain in Birmingham as long as he thinks they are needed to help maintain law and order.
 The White House announced no reply to Wallace's latest telegram protesting the federal troops, but the President has shown no in clination to recall the soldiers in previous exchanges with the Ala bama governor.
