The Senate unit said that
while it is aware that Army,
Navy, Air Force and the Office

other defense units alrea d y
have cut jobs in the past few
years, "a continuing effort
should be made to effect fur

PRESIDENTS ADMONI-
TON - Meanwhile, President
Kennedy has called for new

gets" in Government for the
coming year, in order to keep
Federal employment from
growing too rapidly.
In letter to Budget Director
Kermit Gordon, Mr.. Kennedy
directed that the target be set
at a level which cannot be
realized except through further
improvements in m anpower
management"
The President expressed sat-
isfaction at his administrators
efforts to limit increases in
Government employment. But
he said that even more effective
manpower management policies
and controls are needed.
Mr.. Kennedy said the record
up to date is most encourag-
ing" He noted that F edera'
employment increased by only
$500 the past year, declaring
that If II was based on the
country's population growth II
would have been 10000 anc

al jobs cannot be cut because
of the continuing growth in
n a tional population and the
resultant increase in public
services, programs, etc. But he
feels that the employment in
crease can be held to a respec-
table minimum through more
effective personnel and man
power utilization programs.
/ FAVORABLE IMPRESS
SION - Postmaster General
John Gronouski-the Senate is
due to approve him today
made an excellent impression
yesterday on the Senate Civil
Service Committee. which APP
proved him minutes after hold
ing hearings on the nominal
ton. He also favorably i'm
pressed postal employe union
leaders during his talks with
them the past week.
In answer to an observation
from Senator Carlson, Republic
can of Kansas, that he hoped
Mr.. Gronouski would not be too
partisan in his job, Mr.. Gro
nouski replied:
Il am basically an admin
istrator."
Asked by Senator Fong,
Republican Of Hawaii, Of his
attitude toward the merit sys-
tenn, Mr.. Gronouski declared IT
have the strongest feeling for
civil service"
Mr.. Gronouski added that as
Wisconsin's commissioner of
taxation his entire staff of
l,07l employees were civil serv-
ice employees under the States
merit system. He noted that he
grew up in the tradition of civil
service, since Wisconsin was
one Of the earliest States TO set
up a merit system.
In answer to another ques-
ton, Mr.. Gronouski said he IA
vored increased use Of automa-
ton equipment to expedite the
handling OF mail.
\ Chairman Johnston OF the
committee noted complaints by
the postal clerk unions Of the
work measurement system ir
the postal service.
Mr.. Gronouski said II an

nedy that the ban on all nuclear
explosions in the atmosphere
would not prevent this country
from using atomic weapons in
case of armed conflict.
Senator Mansfield moved to
table this proposal and it car
ried, 81 to 80.
Retention Beaten
Senator Miller, Republican of
Iowa. tried to amend the Rus
sell preamble to provide that
after the treaty is ratified, the
Senate should retain custody of
the resolution until the Su-
preme Presidium of the Soviet
Union ratifies 1t. But Senator
Mansfield also had this tabled.
The two weeks Of discussion
on the treaty will not go down
in the history books as a great
debate. But it reflected the
earnest desire Of most Senators
to grasp at any chance this
treaty may offer to make a
start at curbing the atomic
arms race.
Supporters cautioned the
country from expecting too
much in the way Of settlement
of East-WeSt problems from
this first step. and many said
they were voting for it with
misgivings. All agreed they
were supporting 1t with the
understanding that this coun-
try will keep up a strong
defense posture and will carry
out the safeguards recon-
mended by the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
The opposition argued that
the treaty involves too great a
risk because Of their belief that
the Russians may have gained
from their last series of atmos-
pheric tests knowledge which
this country will not be able to
match once atmospheric tests
are banned. They also warned
that the Russians will be uble
by underground testing to over
come any advantage the United
States now holds in low-yield
atomic weapons.
