Page Eight President Urges Pay Raise For Federal Workers President Johnson has urged Congress to vote for a federal pay raise bill - even if the legislators have to postpone their own $10.000 boost to do so, according to a wire service news story published Wednes- day morning. The House had previously de- feated a $545 million all-inclu- sive pay bill last week when opponents forced a roll-call vote. Many Congressmen were reluctant to go on record during an election year in favor of a bill that would raise their own pay. Referring to a new bill which was introduced last Monday, Mr. Johnson, in letters to House Speaker John W. McCormack and Senate President Pro-Tern Carl Hayden, said, uif Congress- men feel that they should post. pone increasing their salaries until n ext year, even though they are most deserving of an increase in pay, there is no rea· stm to postpone equitable and iust action for othen who serve the government and the na- tion," according to the publish- ed report. Mr. Johnson said failure to enact the newly submitted bill would, "make it harder t ban ever to recruit and hold the outstanding people we need for our top policy jobs."

This work will start in the first week in April and should be complete by the end of April. Since the mechanic must en· ter the house to turn on water and power, Wherry residents should call FR 5·2813 if they wish to deny permission to en· ter.

CNO determined that their ac· complishments were outstand- ing and "an award of $700 based on Intangible Benefits (Exceptional Broad category) is in keepin'g with their contribu· tion."

The ~ffectiveness studies as- signed to them were carried out in a few short months, he noted. "Coupled with the impact that this work is having across and beyond Navy levels, their ac· complishment is truly outstand- ing." After the complete analysis package was delivered to CNO, a month was spent in investi· gating particular areas whose current results deviated signi· ficantly from past studies. The NOTS analysis withstood this intensive, critical scrutiny. The results have now been accepted through Department of Defense level, and during his recent visit, Adm'. T.
