in Medical Assistance to the
Aged" Miss Lauder said.
More Beneficiaries
Official HEW statistics show
that between June, 1861, and
June. 1862, the period covered
by today's report, the number
Of beneficiaries of Kerr-Mills
more than doubled-from 6,247
to 101,634.
Monthly payments under the
program went from $9,311, OPT
to $l7,4l5,814.
In the full report, titled
Health, Education and We'll
fare Programs for Senior Citi-
zens in 1892" the Kerr-Mills
program is disposed of as fol-
lows:
"E teen more States
adopted a program of Medical
Assistance to the Aged this
year, making a total Of 81
States with such programs.
Average payments declined,
however, largely as a result of
a revised payment schedule in
one State. The average pay
ment for June, 1862, was
$l7l.36, compared to $201.33
in June, 1861"
That paragraph was inserted
in the section of the report
headed Income Gains for
Older Persons on Public As
sistance." There was no mem
ton at all of Kerr-Mills ben
efits under the section of the
report dealing with Health
Gains"

Critics of the administration
have charged that it is delib-

That bill was described in

PALM BEACH, Fla, Jan. IT,
An executive order issued by
President Kennedy today gives
Federal employe union leaders
voice in annual reviews of
Federal pay policy.
The President also directed
agency heads to offer high
Federal salaries for hard-to-
| fill jobs.
Mr.. Kennedy instructed
agencies to develop procedures
for granting periodic pay in
creaSes to those among the IL
million Federal payrollers who
show "high-quality perform
ance."
"And the President called for
an annual review by the Bud
get Bureau and Civil Service
Commission of differences be-
tween Federal pay scales and
salaries offered by private
employers.
All these actions will i'm
plement the salary reform law
passed by Congress last year.
Would Use 1862 Act
The order directs all Federal
agency heads to make maxi
mum use Of the Federal Salary
Reform Act of 1862 to maintain
and improve the quality and
productivity Of the Federal
work force while insuring fair
treatment Of employees in pay
matters.
In an accompanying letter
to the heads of agencies con-
cerned with the four major
statutory Government salary
systems, the President emphas-
lied that adoption of the prin-
ciple of Federal pay rates COM
parable to rates for the same
levels Of work in private enter
prise imposes a responsibility
upon the agencies to assure
that Federal agencies are pro-
perly classified and that en-
; ployes possess the proper quail
; fications.
Among other things, the ex-
ecutive order directs Federal
agency heads to use all the
power provided in the Salary
Reform Act to-.
/. Secure and maintain the
high quality Of Federal per-
sonnel necessary for an effec-
tive and efficient Government
service.
2. Motivate employees to per-
form continuously at their full
capacity.
3. Provideemployes fair treat
ment in pay matters.
4. Insure that Government
receives full value for its ex-
penditures for salaries and that
every employe is paid no more
than is warranted by the ma
ture Of his assignment and the
degree Of competence with
which he performs them"
Within Grade Boosts Pushed
The Civil Service Commission
was directed to establish regula-
tions and standards for agencies
to follow in setting up "a
simple, practicable plan for
granting recognition to high
quality performance of employees
in classification act jobs by
giving them additional within
grade salary increases"
At the same time, the COM
mission was told TO issue such
regulations as necessary ito in
sure that only those employees
whose work is Of an acceptable

The new Congress will enact
a tax cut probably this year,
Speaker Mccormack predicted
today.
Emphasizing that he was
giving only his personal opin-
ion. the Speaker said he saw
fairly good prospects for con-
gresSional approval of a tax
bill containing in general the
Kennedy Administrators ex-
pected proposals.
Doesn't Elaborate
He did not elaborate as to
whether he believed such legis-
lation would include major tax
reforms as well as a reduction.
But he said:
This Congress will pass a
tax bill in my opinion. And I
would expect it would be this
year."
But Ways and Means Com
mittee members in general were
noncommittal. Authoritative
sources reported today that the
committee hoped to be able
to complete hearings and con-
sideration of any administra-
ton tax bill by July or August.
This would still raise a question
as to whether such a bill, If
passed promptly by the House,
could get through the Senate
Finance Committee and the
Senate itself before Congress
adjourns next fall.

ELISABETHVnLE. Katanga,
Jan. Z (AP).-Presldent Noise
Tshombe apparently is being
given a chance to invite a
bloodless United Nations oc-
cupation OF his war capital of
Kolwezi and thus insure a place
of power for himself in the
reunited Congo.
Diplomats Indicate d Mr..
Tshombe was pondering this
course of action as the U. N.
military buildup continued.
Arnphibious armored troop car
riers and bridging equipment
poured in on huge United
States Air Force Globemasters,
putting the U. N. force in a
better position to press an ad-
vance on Kolwezi.
The British government said
1t had received word that Mr..
Tshombe plans an early return
to Elisabethville. Both Britons
and Belgians have been urging
him to head back. Belgian au-
thoritieS in Katanga were un-
derstood to have made a plane
available.
1T is our wish" that Mr..
Tshombe would return, a Lon
don Foreign Office spokesman
said, adding that Mr.. Tshombe
is well aware of the wish.
Administrator Named
Congo Premier Cyrille Adou-
la, seeking to nail down gains
registered by the United Ma
tions, named Francois Kalala
as administrative boss of Ka-
tanga and ordered replacement
of Katangan money with bank
notes from the central govern
ment. Mr.. Kalala is secretary
general of the Leopoldville re-
gime's public administration
ministry.
Officials Of the Central Con-
golese government arrived in
Elisabethvllle to take steps to
reintegrate Katanga into the
Congo in accordance with
U. N. Secretary General U
Thant's unity plan. The re-
union scheme includes merger
of the Katangan and Congolese
armed forces and a share of
the revenues from Katanga's
industrial wealth for Premier
Cyrille Adoula's central govern
ment in Leopoldville.
At the Elisabethville airport,
central government representa-
tives set up customs and i'm
migration offices. Financial
experts studied means Of uni
flying the Congo and Katangan
currencies. Katanga issued its
own banknotes after it's 1861
secession.
Negotiation Time Past
U. N. Undersecretary Ralph
Bunche, who flew to the Congo
on a special mission over the
week end, said he had no plans
to meet with Mr.. Tshombe. He
added that the time for nego-
tiation is over.
I'VE have stated that we ex-
pect complete freedom of move
ment Through the elimination
Of all armed resistance). That
is a principle and it sticks" Mr..
Bunche told newsmen here.
Mr.. Tshombe is likely to be
allowed up to a week to comply
with this demand, qualified
diplomats said. This would en-

wezi, a mining town $50 miles
