per cent of the total cost Of
their benefits.
Employees Pay
Few retirement systems re-
quire as much: many are nom
contributory (the employer
pays all Of the cost ;" the csc
noted.
The csc also noted that
Federal employees since the in
ception Of the retirement sys-
TEN in 1920 have always paid
their required contributions,
while the Government until re-
cent years did not pay its al
loted share. Employe payments
have excee ded Government
payments by more than 81 bill
lion. even though the contribu-
tions were to have been on q
$3.50 basis.
The csc commented, There
then remains the question OF
whether increased Government
payments should be made as
agency contributions or as di-
rect appropriations. In either
case, the general fund Of the
TreaSury-and ultimately. the
American taxpayer-bears the
cost. We favor the agency con-
tribution approach because 1t
provides an explicit schedule OF
definite contributions clearly
designed TO fully meet estimated
benefit expenditures"
The csc pointed out that
the longer action is deferred on
strengthening the funds IL
nancial condition, the greater
the sums Of money will be
needed In the future TO meet
its obligations. The result would
be that the staggering sum OF
between $2.5 to SO billion a year
in appropriations would even
tually be needed to save II from

Military Way VS.. The Better Way
OF VIEW

run their services in the Nc
Namara pattern don't keep
their jobs. If they are other
wise outstanding men they get
good jobs elsewhere-say an
ambaSsadorship in an impor-
tant NATO country-but they
don't stay around Washington.
So, that's the administra-
tion story. Now for the other
side:
Almost any high-ranking
Pentagon officer can tell you
that the old system was bad,
but they will also say that Mr..
Mcnamara Is kidding himself
If he thinks he has found the
answer.
First Of all, budget ceilings
are just as important as they
ever were. The money is still
short and the civilians still de-
eide who will get it, so what's
the difference?
Well, perhaps there is a diff
ference. Decisions on strictly
military matters are being
made today by civilian "whiz
kids" rather than by expert
enced military leaders. If Ad-
miral Anderson had refrained
from passing Navy judgments
up to his civilian superiors he
might have kept his job.
Stress On-the-Scene Factor
Civilian control is fine. In
fact, it should be pointed out
here that this reporter has
never found a military man
who was not convinced that
civilians must be the top bosses.
But the details should be left
up to the professionals.
In fact. to continue with the
military argument, the civilians
will find in time Of crisis or
war that the course Of events
cannot be neatly determined
from Mr.. McNamara's office.
Only one man can know
enough to decide the details of
what to do: The man in COM
mand on tie scene.
And, finally, Mr.. McNalnara

House and Senate conferees
today agreed on a $l5.3 billion
authorization for procurement
of military weapons, including
aircraft, ships and missiles.
A substantial part Of this
amount will go into the $5S
billion defense appropriation
bill later In the session. Some oi
it will be spent in later years
for long-range items.
The final figure in the
authorization bill is $S5 million
less than the President re-
quested. But both houses are
giving the administration
$363.7 million for RS-70 bomb
ers, which the Defense Depart
ment does not want and is not
expected to spend. When allow
ance is made for this, the bill
is about $400 million under the

| get out in the field and run
things right.
The new administration de-
cided to change all that.
The spending ceilings were
removed, but a new set Of con-
trolls were installed.
Mr.. Mcnamara and the
ght civilians around him
started to use the full legal
power of their offices to break
down barriers between the Serv-
ices and tailor troops. weapons
and war plans to one master
defense plan set by the State
Department and President.
The imbalances were correct
ed, and more money was spent
on a larger force that is more
useable in a crisis or war.
In order to force everything
to mesh, Mr.. Mcnamara dipped
deeply into problems of force
structures and logiStics and de-
manded that the services jllsti-
fly and coordinate their every
action In exhaustive detail.
Close Control in Crisis
The services even lost their
consolation prize. The admins
tration made it clear to mill
tary men that in time CT crisis
or war, the action would be
controlled closely from Wash
ington-by civilians.
When a misstep could blow
up the world, the President
and his top civilians must use
their constitutional right to
direct each military operation
in detail.
During the Cuban crisis, for
instance. the Navy was told
which foreign ships to inspect
and stop and precisely how
to do it.
The control is Just as tight
over American soldiers in Wet
Nam. and If there is a big nu-
clear war the civilians will try
to control it. too, almost rock

that the services had been con-
trolled closely by the civilians,
but by the wrong civilians and
in the wrong way.
Treasury officials set spend
ing ceilings: defense secretaries
divided UP the money among
the services, and the services
decided how to use it.
The result was imbalance,
waste and weakness.
Forces did not square with
national commitments; serv-
ices planned to fight different
and incompatible kinds of
wars; arms and supplies tended
to be either In great surplus
or dangerous shortage.
The services resented this

The Kennedy administration
today asked Congress for per-
manent major increases in the
financing Of the $34 billion
deficit-ridden civil service re-
tirement system.
The administration bluntly
told Congress that the civil
service retirement system will
60 bankrupt in less than q
years under the present financ-
ing system.
Under the legislation pro-
posed to Congress today by the
Civil Service Com missio n
Chairman John Macy, Federal
employees would not have to
pay more than 6la per cent OF
salary contribution they now
make. That would remain the
same.
The legislation would require
Federal agencies to make sup

The money would be author
lied each year by Congress as
part Of an agency's regular

The additional agency con-
tributions would begin for the
1865 fiscal year starting July /
1864. These additional con-
tributions would be u per cent
Of an agency's payroll and would
