AP Farm Writer reports Agriculture Secretary Butz wants Congress to upgrade sub cabinet jobs in his department. Proposed changes raise J Phil Campbell to deputy secretary at 42 500, elevate Don Paarlberg to assistant secretary at 38 000, and move Joseph Wright Jr to a political appointee role at 36 000, with Butz’s own salary unchanged at 60 a year. Wright says the department is large enough for upgradation and cites prior Senate approval but House rejection. He notes Paarlberg oversees three agencies and should have policy status in Butz's circle.
