Congress Acts Today On Federal Pay Hikes
Washington authorities move toward final passage of a 6 percent federal pay raise for civilian and military personnel retroactive to December 27. The bill, backed by Nixon administration and postal unions, expands to over five million workers but omits some congressional and agricultural staff due to drafting errors now corrected by the Senate. Postal workers would see about $438 yearly, with potential further increases if post office reforms pass.

Douglas Critics Move Against Justice Douglas This Week
Critics of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas plan to act this week with possible impeachment or a preimpeachment inquiry. Rep. William O. Scott said legislation may be introduced, while House sources weigh impeachment versus a bipartisan investigation into whether action is warranted. The opposition cites his book Points of Rebellion and past obscenity rulings plus ties to a Las Vegas funded charity. Organizers say actions are independent of Nixon nominees’ rejection.
