Pickle's Washington Report
CONGRESSIONAL
PAY RAISE
To no one's surprise Cong-
ress last week allowed the pay
xaiso for Members of Congress
the Judiciary and high Cong-
ressional officials.
I have opposed this increase
in salary not only in terms of
whether it was needed but
also in terms of the method by
which it was brought about.
Some of you might recall a
newsletter I wrote in late 1967
mentioning that Congress had
approved an Executive Pay
Commission to make salary re-
commendations which unless
vetoed by Congress would go
into effect.
As I said then in voting
against the Commission I do
not favor this "back door"
approach to l'aising salaries.
If Congress intends to raise
salaries which will directly
"benefit Members of the cur-
rent session I strongly feel
that the matter should be con-
sidered in an open roll call
vote. Only in this way does
the public have the opportuni-
ty to know where each man
stands.
'In all fairness the expenses
of running an office here and
in the District of having
two homes of travel and other
necessary costs does constitute
a problem for all Congress-
men. I do favor reasonable in-
creases for other Federal em-
ployees but I regret the Com-
mission's form was used.
POSTMASTER
APPOINTMENTS
Perhaps one of the most
dramatic steps the new Ad-
ministration has taken thus
far deals with the proposals
to remove postmaster appoint-
ments from the political arena.
For some years now the
practice for certain postal ap-
pointments involved the pro-
cess of the local Congressman
or Senator making a recom
mendation on the individual
to be named.
There were of course spe-
cific limitations on who might
lie recommended inasmuch as
only one of the top three
qualifiers on a competitive ex
amination could be chosen. Al-
so definite privileges were
given to veterans and especial-
ly veterans who had been
wounded.
The details of the new pro
posal have not yet been
spelled out but it is relatively
certain that several points will
receive close attention.
For example there is the
question of determining whe-
ther the person with the top
exam grade will always be
chosen or whether some yet
unnamed party will choose
from the top three. Moreover.
this could work to the disad-

vantage of career employees
and I don't think that was
the intent. There is the ques-
tion of determining whether
the veterans' preference will
be retained. And there is the
policy question of determing
whether our communities will
over have general voice in se-
lecting the person working in
their post office. The new
proposal could work out
and I venture a lot of questions
remain to bo answered.
