Pay raise for civil service employees delayed in Congress
Final congressional action on a bill to raise the pay of about one million civil service workers was postponed until next week. The House declined a Senate provision expanding super grade positions, delaying conferees from meeting today or tomorrow. The bill would grant a 10 percent raise retroactive to January 4, at an estimated $42 million annual cost. Also, R Hill, agricultural director in the western Solomon Islands, said two thousand acres on Guadalcanal plain could grow enough rice to feed the islands.
