The many thousands of Gov
ernment engineers and scientists
In grades 5 through IL who now
are in special above-the-Step
rates Of their grades are ex-
pected to retain this premium
pay differential when the Sec
ond phase raise Of last years
Federal pay reform law goes
into effect on January /.
Under last years pay reform
law. the Civil Service Commits
sion can impose a super pay
schedule for Government jobs
in which agencies find it hard
to retain and attract employees.
Using this authority, the
CSC slotted engineering and
scientific jobs in grades 5
through II in higher pay rates.
Now, with the second phase
rate going into effect in jan
uary the CSC is surveying the
pay situation in relation with
industry to determine if the
Super-rateS should be main
tanned and, if so, should they
be in the present slots in the
grade schedule.
CSC officials indicate the
decision will be to maintain
these employees in the present
pay rate slots in their respec-
tive grades when the January
/ pay raise goes into effect,
thereby maintaining their spe-
cial pay. OF course, when the
employees earn the required
seniority in their present sal
airy step, they will be advanced
to the next super-step.
There re a handful Of other
Federal jobs in which super
rates are authorized, but only
a small number of employees
are involved. In these jobs,
also, the CSC must decide
whether the premium pay diff
ferential is to be maintained.
AS in the case of the engineer
ing and scientific jobs, the an
swer is expected to be in the
affirmative.

Representative Gross, Repub-
lican of Iowa, has asked Con-
gress to consider legislation to
bar members Of the executive
branch and Congress from own
ing radio and televiSion sta
tons.
Mr.. Gross questioned whether
the placing Of Mrs. Lyndon
Johnson's radio and TV hold
ings in trust completely elimi-
mates the possibility Of conflict
Of interest.
Does the establishment Of a
trust in the case of the LBJ
Co. wipe out of the minds Of

sion) the fact that the mem
bers Of the johnson family are
the real owners Of radio and
television interests?" he COM
mented. THE property has been
put in trust for the duration
of the period of time that Pres
ident Johnson is in public Of
flee. However. the profits accu-
mulate for the family.
II submit that every member
Of the Federal Communications
Commission is going to be
aware of the interests of the
Johnson family in the field OF
radio and television. And 1 fur
them submit that in the case
Of the FEC the chairman holds
office at the pleasure Of the
President"
Inhis remarks, inserted in the
Congressional Record yester-
day, Mr.. Gross said it should
be apparent that the President,
Vice President and others Of
high rank in the Government
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-10

should not obtain interests in
"a Government controlled in
dustry."
1T appears" he said. that
Congress must give considera-
ton to legislation which would
bar the possibility of conflict
Of interest in this field. Such
legislation should apply to the
families Of members of the
House and Senate as we'll as
other branches of the Gov
eminent"
Mr.. Gross also inserted in
the Record a copy of an article
written by Clark Mollenhoff of
the Des Moines Register.
The article said the Senate
Rules Committee, which is in
vestigating Robert G. Bobby
Baker, has been asked to ex-
anime financial transactions
involving the television hold
ings of the family Of President
johnson.
Mr.. Mollenhoff's article said
that LBJ Co. has been paying
premiums for insurance on
President Johnson's life for five
years although he holds no
stock and no office in the
company and las contended he
has no connection with it.
The article said a 100000
policy was bought through Don
Reynolds and Associates of Sill
yer Spring, Md. in 1857 and
later increased to 100000. Mr..
Baker was listed as a vice preSi-
dent of the insurance firm, al
though Mr.. Reynolds has said
Mr.. Baker had nothing to do
with running the company.
Mr.. Reynolds has been ques-
toned by investigators for the
Rules Committee. Mr.. Mollen-

Philadelphia Post office by an
estimated $782,500 a year.
2. Increased costs at the
Denver Post Office by an esti-
mated $624,000 a year.
3. Decreased labor productive
ity at Philadelphia.
4. Increased operating costs
at Los Angeles during the first
six months. although net saw
ings ultimately were claimed
after notifications and a re-
view Of costs by the Controller
General.
The Controller General found
generally that more man-hours
of work were used after install
lation of the automated equip
ment than before.
POSTAL DUES CHECKOFF
The Post Office Department
and postal employee union have
reached an agreement on the
voluntary union dues checkoff
system.
Formal agreement probably
will be signed this week and
will become effective 80 days
after signing. Dues will be
withheld from employees pay

ployes must authorize this de-
duction) and the remittances

Above-SteP Premium Pay Likely

DEFENSE OUTLOOK

DEFENSE OUTLOOK -
President Johnson'S order to
cut $4,000 Defense Department
civilian jobs-from l,022,00 to
997, 000-probably won't neces-
state any direct firingS Of
Defense employees. Attrition-
not filling some of the vacan-
cies that occur-can probably
take care of the reduction.
However, the real threat to
Defense Department civilian
employees, particularly those
outside the Washington area,
is the Johnson administrations
apparent desire to close down
some defense installations
throughout the country in a
move to cut expenses.
If carried out, this would
eliminate the Jobs of thousands
Of present Defense Department
workers. Indirectly. IL also
could have an adverse effect
on Defense Department head
quarters employees here, since
the size of the Washington
staffs is in ratio to those in the
field.
1t remains to be seen, how
ever, how successful President
Johnson will be in closing
some Of the defense installa-
tons in this forthcoming cleo
ton year.
Members of Congress in
whose States and districts any
such installations are located
would be sure to urge that they
be kept open, at least until
after next November's elec-
tons and perhaps indefinitely
And If the military installa-
tons are in States and districts
represented by Democratic
Senators and Representatives
the johnson administration
may think twice before closing
them.

Defense Funds
Cut Is Likely
To Be Small

Star staff Writer

Despite frantic last-minutt
efforts to find substantial say.
ings in defense spending. the
outlook now is for relatively
small reductions.
Pentagon sources say that
President Johnson is finding II
impossible to cut large sum.
without changing defense poll
cy. that he would weaken the
military establishment if he re-
duced spending in the coming
fiscal year by the billions wide
ly discussed.
This, the President has made
clear. he does not want to do.
The Pentagon will save 500
million over the coming IS
months, Secretary Of Defense
Mcnamara told reporters to-
day, by canceling the Dyna-
soar orbiting glider and sub
shutting for it a larger space
laboratory and some unnamed
experimental vehicles. Mr.. Nc
Namara planned to make this
recommendation before the
change in administration. He
would not discuss other possible
budget changes.
Bookkeeping Shifts
By-and-large, the new
administration will have to be
content with publicizing reduc-
tons that would have been
made otherwise and making
bookkeeping shifts that will
produce apparent but not real
reductions.
The Defense Department orig
inally proposed to spend about
s51 billion during the current
fiscal year Fiscal 1864, ending
June 30 next year,. Congress
knocked 81 billion off that fig
ure.
Defense spending during the
current fiscal year would be
about $50 billion, then.
Before Mr., Johnson launched
his campaign to get a dollars
value for a dollar spent, Mr..
Mcnamara already was making
massive reductions in what
otherwise would have been a
skyrocketing fiscal 1865 spend
ing estimate. It is this budget
which Mr.. Johnson is now re-
viewing and will send to Con-
gress in January.
Some Items Shaky
BY looping off "wasteful"
spending, Mr.. Mcnamara had
the new estimate down to $51
billion, according to Pentagon
sources. Some major items, like
Oyna-Soar and the BIO expert
mental bomber, were still in
the budget, but shaky.
During President Kennedy's
planned review Of the budget
this month many of the shaky
programs had been expected to
vanish.
This still would not have
brought spending to the cur
rent years level, however.
Dropping Dyna-Soar won't
save enough money. Neither
will the reduction in personnel
announced by Mr.. Mcnamara.
Neither will dropping the BIO.
Aviation Daily reports that
Mr.. Mcnamara feels committed
to build and test the three
planned prototypes Of the
2,000-mile-an-hour bomber and
would resist sudden termina-
ton Of the whole program.
The planned personnel cuts,
announced over the week end,
actually were started last sum-
