RISING COST OF LIVING

OF LIVING in these Islands is becoming increaS-
ingly difficult, as it moves up with frightening regularity. lhs
is more serious than appears on the surface, and can have
damaging effects on many phases Of the Governments pro-
grams, now and in the future.
THERE ARE at least two phases of this constant increase
which can create problems of unlimited difficulty. First,
there is the great damage to the overall economy OF these
Islands from initiation. No income, no salary will ever be ade-
ouate if it is unstable, and since prices go up faster than
income, the results can be devastating This is shown in the
vastly cutailed purchasing power of the dollar.
THEN THERE IS the question Of maintaining, or even
attracting an effective working force in these Islands. NO
teacher, for example, who is worth his salt, will want to leave
where he is, bring his family here, only to find that housing IS
difficult to find and when found, meet e~xhorbitant rent. Add
to this the cost Of food, clothing and everything else, and it IS
easy to see why a qualified and highly trained individual
would hesitate to accept employment here.
a o j. OUR PROBLEM is the lack of production OF
food locally. So much has to be exported, and freight and
other rates are so1high that by the time these items reach the
consumer the prices are almos p~rohibitive. It is good to know
that the Government has an economic survey group which
has some responsibility for study in this area. Perhaps this
Oroup ought to be expanded, perhaps more time is needed for
wider coverage. But at any rate, it is safe to say that tins
condition simply cannot continue, for the end would be cha
oic, indeed. 80
THEPROBLEM is one Of seE-support. There has to pc
some equaGzing between what we sell and what we buy
While that IS perhaps an overSimpli6cation OF the problem, It
isnevyerfheless true, but ths; is the only way to achieve proper
perspective.

For Rail Strike Curb

actually shuts down the rail-
roads.
Labor and m anage m e n t
agreed to postpone a show
down at least until July 10.
President Kennedy has warned
that he will propose legislation
unless there is a settlement.
Shortly before July 10. the
railroads are expected to an
nounce their intention to put
new work rules into effect to
reduce what they call employ
ment Of unneeded workers, or
"featherbedding." One of the
rules eventually would elimi-

Sources familiar with the

the issues has been settled, al
though there have been some
signs Of give" on a few points,
There is practically no hope for

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The American Federation of
Government Employees has
charged that the Civil Service
Commission has seriously
weakened the Governments
merit promotion program by
encouraging agencies to fill
promotional vancancies with
outsiders.
The commissions action
can have no other effect than
to- weaken employees faith in
the program" AFGE President
John Griner declared. And de-
spite repeated commission APP
praisals to the contrary, there
is widespread cynicism about
the operation Of the merit pro-
motion system in its present
form" the Age leader added
in an editorial in the unions
publication, the Government
Standard.
Mr.. Griner referred to a re-
cent csc action in which it
instructed agencies to give
concurrent consideration" to
qualified individuals outside the
agency.
In explaining the change, the
csc started out by saying
IT Is entirely proper that most
higher-grade positions should
be filled by promotion or quail
fled persons within the organi-
zation."
The csc then warns against
the dangers OF inbreeding'
and strongly" urges agencies
in filling vacancies to consider
concurrently persons available
on lists OF eligibles or who car
be obtained through transfer
from other agencies, re-employ-
ment, reinstatement or exami-
nation.
Commenting ON this, Mr.
Griner declares: I'm short, the
basic principle that agencies
should promote from within
unless there are no qualified
employees available is diluted
beyond recognition. II not
downright abandoned"
The AFGE leader continued
"A meaningful promotion pro-
gram must be based on the

In the days testimony:
Marilyn MANDY Rice-Davies
insisted that she had slept with
Lord AStor, a friend Of Ward.
A Miss X" wearing dark
glasses, said Ward had asked
her to make love in a bedroom
so spectators could watch
through a concealed, two-way
mirror.
Sally Norrie said she had
slept with Ward at a cottage
he rented on Lord Astor's es-
tate.
A Miss r" said she had, too.
Margaret Ricardo said that
when she visited Wards Lon
don apartment he introduced
her to other men and she slept
with them.
Christine Keeler, the prose-
cution's star witness, testified
yesterday that she had met
Mr.. Profumo while living in
Wards apartment, slept with
him and accepted presents
from him. She also said she had

principle of promotion from
within. And this principle
should be all but inviolable.
When there is a vacancy that
can be filled by promotion, the
agency should choose from
among its own employees who
meet the qualifications for the
Job concerned. Only if there
are no qualified employees avail
able within the agency should
there be recruiting from out
side sources.
NM. Griner said the impact
of CSC's recent move already
can be seen by the action of
the United States Information
Agency. USIA's merit promo
ton program has provided for
first consideration" to be CIV
en- its own employees in filling
vacancies. However, the USIA
now proposes 10 drop the first

state merely that consideration
will be given to employees and

orize the number on the ZIP
card he has already received
or will get from the mailman
tomorrow, because the service
area subdivisions in the second
numeral area jigsaw puzzle
pieces on the postal map.
Biggest Mailing
The Post office Department
is sending out 70 million of the
cards tomorrow-largest single
mailing in history-to every adj
dress in existence in the so
states. They hope ZIP (which
m cans Zone Improvement
Plan) will catch on to the
point that every letter soon
will bear a ZIP number in
both the address and the re-
turn address.
If it catches the fancy OF
the public, Mr.. Day hopes fol
a smooth transition in a cou-
pie of years so that the Post
Office Department can use
optical scanning equipment for
even faster sorting and deliv-
cry.
The original idea was for
ZIP program for the large vol
ume mailers only. a system the
average citizen wouldn't have
to concern himself with. How
ever, Mr.. Day went to West
Germany and saw a similar
code system for everybody
working so well that 80 pei
cent Of the population was par
ticipating. He figured If the
West Germans could get theil
mail cheaper and quicker, SC
could Americans.
Steps Of Progress

wasn't a hundred years age
that people Just addressed theil

Then we started delivery serv-
ice and they had to be laugh

About the only other majol
change, except the extinction
of the pony express. was the
launching of the zone system
during World War II.
Although all private citizens
and businesses in the District
will be 200 plus their zone from
tomorrow on, a separate set o.
numbers has beer worked out
for the Federal Government
based on the digits 202. 203, 20.
and EOS.
The Defense Department, fol
| instance, will be 20301, the CII

is 20501.
