In the case of Grade 1 employes, which is the lowest clerical grade in the Government,_service, Mr. McReynolds explained that the Government rate is | close to $380 a ar higher than the average outsiie rate, based on records {of about 300,000 outside employes, spread over the several States, in grades | comparable to Grade 1 in the Federal | “As we get up to Grade 2 em- s the difference is cut down to ut $220 higher in the Government service than the average outside,” Mr. McReynolds told the committee, while CHERRY TARTS |y o oo With Nancy Dorris’ ALL-STAR “Kitchen-tested” Recipe |rate and the Government rate are pretty : / close together.

Wason-of the sub- | committee questioned Mr. McReynolds |&s to whether the result of the investi- | gation would be a tendency to lower the salaries in the lower grades of the Gov- | ernment service, but Mr. McReynolds pointed out that such a move would | rest with Congress. “My experience has | been,” he said, “that you ate not likely | to reduce the lower-salaried groups, but | certainly the data gathered would not | Justify cur recommending in the report |that ‘a higher minimum rate be fixed | for Government service compared with | the outside.” The report on the survey |is in the hands of the printer, and will | be sumitted to Congress as soon as it |is available, Mr. McReynolds said. Mr. Wason said the findings of the report either will reduce or will have a tendency to reduce the wages or sal- aries in the Government service, or| have the effect of raising them in the | ! ncn-Government employ. Such a move with regard to the lower-paid employes in the Federal service would be dia-| metrically opposed to the plan for up- ward revision of pay scales to bring under-average employes up to average, as propesed by the Natlonal Federation of Federal Employes, according to Pres- ident Luther Steward of the federation.

Under questioning by Representative | Summers, a_member of the subcom- | mitiee, Mr. McReynolds said that 100,- 000 employes from New York to San Francisco doing work similar to that done in the Government service would ceive less money in the routine cleri- 1 grades in private employ than in ry ome. 1e Government service.
