Chairman Johnston of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
is expected to announce next
Tuesday the dates for Govern
ment pay raise hearings, prob
ably early in August. The scene
will be a pay raise legislative
rally being staged by the Ma
tional Association of Letter
Carriers.
The largest of all Govern
ment employe unions, the NALC
expects more than 1000 letter
carrier leaders from every Con-
gressional district in the coun-
try to be on hand for the three
day session at the Statler- Hill
ton Hotel. During these three
days, he NALC delegates will
contact their Senators and
Representatives on behalf Of
pay raise legislation.
The NALC rally is intended
TO stimulate action in Congress
on the tagging postal and Gov
eminent employee pay raise leg
lislation which has been begged
down thus far this year. NALC
leaders hope the rally will
emulate similar pay raise rail-
lies of past years which proved
successful in helping to win
pay raise enactment.
While the lack Of progress
on pay raise activity this year
has been discouraging to en-
ploye leaders, the very fact that
Congress is apt to be in session
until November or even later
gives them encouragement that
there is plenty Of time for &C
ton before adjournment.
Jerome Heating, NALC presi-
dent, and James Rademacher,
NALC vice president, say they
are livery determined" to Sc
cure another round Of postal
and Government pay raises this
year.
Mr.. Rademacher remarked,
1T has not yet been forcefully
called To the attention Of Con-
gress that under the pay re-
form law it passed last year, 1t
has the obligation to consider
adjustment Of postal and Gov
eminent salaries based on the
compatibility principle with
industry pay. Unless Congress
acts this year, II might as we'll
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-11

take the compatibility prlnci-
pie out of the law"
The NALC leaders express
confidence that Congress will
live up to intent Of the pay re-
form law once the facts are
made clear to it. They point
out that even with next Janu-
ary'S forthcoming pay raise ad-
justment for postal and Fed
eral classified employees, Gov
eminent salaries still will be
two years behind that Of in
dustry pay.

OEDER CHILDREN - The
Senate Civil Service subcom-
mittee considering legislation to
liberalize Government employe
health insurance benefits has
been asked to extend family
coverage to the children Of
Federal employees until they
finish college.
The proposal was made by
John Brady, legislative repre-
sentative of the National As
ISOLATION of Internal Revenue
Employees, during the Senate
subcommittee hearings.
At present, unmarried chill
dren Of Government employees
are covered by Federal health
insurance benefits until they
reach the age Of 10.
Mr.. Brady proposed that this
coverage be extended past that
age when the children are still
attending high school or in
college and that 1t be continued
until graduation from college.
He pointed out that family
expenses increase greatly dur
ing the period when one or
more children are attending
college, and that health insur-
ance protection for their chill
dren in these cases becomes
more necessary than ever.
There is a precedent for
extending coverage to children
OF Federal employees attending
high school or college. For
merly, civil service survivorship
benefits to the children OF
deceased Government workers
we're limited to those under
age 10. Last year Congress ex-
tended this age to Fl and even
to the end OF the academic
year II the child became 81

that every film was identified

They said they believed this
Identification was edited out
before the films and radio re-
cordings were put on the air.

Whether they identify it is
beyond our control" Mr..
Wright senior added.
Senator Fulbright said that
is one Of the points in which
the committee is interested.

material they provided was
published or broadcast with an
acknowledgment that the

They insisted that those who
received the material knew it

Senator Fulbright said the
point, however, was that read
ers and listeners did not know
this, and that he would not
have known it had it not been

directly with the main econ
omy theme Of his memo. How
ever, he said it had been in
cluded to show that readiness
had not suffered at the ex-
pense of cost cutting. The Sec
Rotary added that future saw
ings similarly would not affect
the military readiness Of the
country.
The Defense Secretary was
quite specific about money
savings. These, he said, ARE
being achieved in three ways:
Il. Buying only what we need
to achieve balanced readiness.
%. Buying at the lowest
sound price.
-. Reducing operating costs

ardization."
Cites Radio Transmitters
Mr.. Mcnamara gave examples
Of economy measures. One such
was the application Of competi-
tive bidding to the acquisition
of a certain type of portable
radio transmitter. BY cutting
the unit cost from $2,278 to
$S4S, Mr.. Mcnamara pointed
out, the Pentagon saved SOS
million last year alone.
Mr.. Mcnamara said the COM
pany that won the competition
for the radio contract was the
same company that had preV-
ously been producing radios
under a non-competitive con-
tract at $2,27S. He refused to
name the company, but q radio
set which he exhibited at the
news conference bore the man.

Corp. of America.
Paul Ignatius, an Assistant
Secretary Of the Army who
accompanied MIR. Mcnamara to
the news conference, later
identified the radio set on
exhibit as an actual procure
ment item from the initial
production run.
The trend toward competitive
bidding on contracts is now
running about a year ahead of
schedule, Mr.. Mcnamara said.

The Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee is trying to
figure out some legislative way
to make sure the public knows
the actual source of stories
and pictures provided by the
agents Of foreign powers.
The problem was pinpointed
at a. public hearing yesterday
when the Patterson team of
the Hamilton Wright Organi-
zation acknowledged that the
public did not know the actual
source Of some glowing ma
terial about Nationalist China,
Mexico and South Africa
three clients of the firm.
Both Hamilton Wright, ST.,
and Hamilton Wright, jr., de-
MED they were trying to de-
ceive the public but suggested
the Foreign Agents Registra-
ton Act was "a little bit loose"
Fulbright Critical
Chairman Fulbright charged
that films, stories and photos
reached the public from the
Wright organization with no
indication of their source.
At the same time, he &C.
knowledged that this lack Of
Identification may not have
been entirely the fault of the
Wright Organization" He said
the firms records suggest that
"a number of Intermediates in
the journalistic profession and
among film distributors CO.
operated in the dissemination
of the firms propaganda in
return for various gratuities
from the Wright Organization"
The "gratuities" brought out
at both an earlier closed session
and yesterdays open session
took the form Of red carpet"
trips to Mexico.
Recipients Listed
Letters put into the record
named the recipients of the
trips as Louis MesSolonghegis
and CORTLAND Smith of King
Features, the latter described
as an editor for Central Press
Association; Jack WoliSton, a

Telenews, teleyiSion newSreel.
None of the trip recipients
made any comment to the
committee when the transcript
of the closed testimony was
sent to them.
The Wrights also acknowl-
edged that they had supplied

LET me note that these saw
ings have not in any way been
achieved at a sacrifice of ma

These included:
"A 100 per cent increase in
