THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Union Leaders List Reservations
To Johnson's Job Policies

Also worrying employee lead
ers is President Johnson's
reported decision to make
d ep artm ents and agencies
absorb a large part Of the cost
Of whatever new pay raise may
be approved by Congress next
year.
This, they fear. could lead to
widespread layoffs. They feel
that If Government workers
deserve a pay raise. then they
should not be penalized by
losing their jobs. What good is
a pay raise to an employe who
is fired as a result Of it? they
ask.
Even without the cost alb
sorption Of q pay raise, any
Government wide move to trim
employment could cost some
employees their jobs.
President johnson indicates
that the overall job reduction
will be rather small-at least
at first. And the President says
that the reductions can be
achieved through attrition-
not filling some Of the vacan-
cies caused by retirements and
designations - without having
to fire present employees.
Not All AttritiOn
In the main, this is correct
But invariably in any wides-
pread job reduction program
some layoffs are inevitable. A
small number. 1t Is true, but
some employees are bound to be
affected.
Attrition can take care Of
the major share of the job
cuts, but not all of them. The
reason is that some jobs anc
their functions are so vital that
no reductions in the number oi
positions can be made. AS q
result. other types Of jobs have
to take q disproportionately
higher reduction. Consequently
attrition can't accomplish all oi
this and some employees have
to be separated.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 30-A
$3-billio1, six-year project to
crack the riddle Of life on Mars
was urged as a high-pYiority
space effort today.
The project, aimed at q
1869 launching Of a three-ton
unnamed spaceship, Is worth
the doing despite other heavy
space outlays, DR.. Allan H.
Brown said. DR.. Brown, pro-
fessor Of biology at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, was one
of 10 speakers at q meeting on
space biology here.
He proposed his Mars-land-
ing attempts as a race against
time, rather than against the
Russians. In fact, he warned
that international competition
might well result in careless
ness that could contaminate
the surface Of Mars with
earthly microbes.
Cites Need for Speed
Unless q suitable payload can
be built and launched by 1869,
DR.. Brown said, ut will be well
into the 's0s before conditions
again become favorable enough
to land a sigificant expert
metal payload on the Martian
surface using today's boosters -
He proposed adapting the
Saturn-1B rocket for inter-
planetary work. This would
take a 3-ton payload to the
orbit Of Mars and permit the
landing Of several hundred
pounds Of instruments. he said.
This apparently would pose
some design problems. The
Saturn-1B. a later model OF
the Saturn which has flown
suborbitally four times and is
set for a maiden orbital flight
in January, has no inter-plane-
tary capability at present. A
third stage would have to be
developed and incorporated
into the rockets structure.
While conceding the high
cost Of his program, DR.. Brown
insisted that the economy could
stand its addition to the exist
ing space program. He rep
resented the estimated cost at
"$2.47 per capita per year for
six years" Based on a national
population of 100 million, this
works out to about $2,916,0o0,-
900.

3-Ton PoyIood to Mars
Proposed by Biologist

DR.. Brown said the condi-
tions on Mars which warrant
an urgent push for a 1869
launching are these:
by launching in early 1869,
landing would occur during the
Martian spring in its southern
hemisphere. We could then test
for life during the crest Of the
wave Of color change which
may represent spring prolifera-
ton Of plant-like organisms"
Plans Approval Doubtful
The likelihood of DR.. Browns
proposal being accepted is far
from certain. Recent budgetary
trends imposed on the space
effort by the White House and
Congress do not appear to leave
much room for new programs,
especially ones costing half q
billion dollars a year extra for
the rest Of the decade. Current
plans for the exploration of the
Martian surface are in limbo.
The only definitely scheduled
Mars efforts are twin flights of
"fly = by" probes slated for
launching next October and
November. These are planned
to skirt Mars, at a distance Of
about $4,000 miles, but not to
land on the planet.
A Mars soft landing" probe
including q life detector called
"Gulliver" was tentatively
planned for a 1864 launching,
but this has slipped out OF
sight.
OF Gulliver-type instruments,
DR.. Brown said they probably
could not detect life with any
degree Of certainty unless we
are very lucky"

adversely affected will be
relatively few. But no employe
can be sure that he or she
won't be among the unfortu-
nate few. That's where morale
suffers.
It also puts the damper on
the college graduate recruit
ment program Of the Civil
Service Commission and var.
ious departments and agencies.
Already, some Of the most
promising college seniors are
beginning to show a lack Of
interest in Federal careers.
While the fact is that the
Government hires about 3o0.-
900 persons each year to re-
place employe turnover and
will continue to hire q good
portion Of that number this
year. the recent publicity
causes college seniors and
other sought-after and highly
capable people to believe that
there won't be any hiring. And
they further fear that even If
they are hired, they may be
caught in a layoff program
before long.

Governmen and postal
employe leaders are beginning
to have some serious reserva-
tons about the personnel
policies of President johnson.
In fact, some Of the union
leaders feel that Government
and postal workers face some
rough times under the Johnson
administration.
The employe leaders don't
quarrel with Mr.. Johnson's
moves to halt the upward trend
Of Government employment.
But they feel that any move
to substantially reduce Federal
employment is not realistic
that such cuts can't be made
without reducing services and
functions required by law.
They feel that the johnson
administration really knows
this and may only be making a
grandstand play to get its
Federal income tax reduction
bill approved by Congress.
What really irks employe
leaders is President Johnson's
latest pronouncement, in a
memorandum to department
and agency heads in which he
ordered them to reduce en-
ployment, declaring that. II am
still unconvinced that we are
getting the maximum output
per employe. I believe we can
do better"
