MARDER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) -"The compensation should not be set so high that it would attract poor people to seek the salary instead of the office; nor so low that only the rich could af ford to serve." The first Congress established those salary guidelines for it self, it figured that $6 a day, to be paid only for days actual ly worked, was just the right amount. The 88th Congress is now try ing to get up the courage to raise members salaries to $32, 500 a year. There art those including some potential recipients who say it would take gall and not courage to raise congressional salaries by $10,000 a year. . "If we use production as a yardstick," says Rep. J. Ar thur Younger, (R-Calif.)"wenot only are not entitled to a raise, but should be returning part of what we are now getting." However, Rep. Morris K. Udall (D-Ariz.) proposes that congressional salaries be raised to $35,000 a year in line with the recommendations of an ad visory panel named by Presi dent Kennedy. Udall argues that members have been "too timid" in raising their own salaries." " ; ' ' Always Squeamish Congressmen have always been squeamish about boosting their own pay. Some have fear ed the higher salaries would invite greater competition for the office. Others have been concerned about the impact on the voters: Every time Con gress raises its pay some mem bers fail to win re-election. Some veteran members still remember the bundles for con gress when the lawmakers first tried to set up a pension system for members who retire cither voluntarily or by the desires of the voters. The original $6-a-day pay scale lasted for almost 30 years. Then for the next 40 years con gress paid itself $8 a day but still only on working days. In 1856, the members dicidcd they were worth $3,000 a year EVERGREENS NOW Ph. 772-4387? Betty Miller, secretary; George Bannister, Dr. B. Brandt Bar tels, Alan H.

But it hasn't been enforced since 1894. A year earlier, in 1893, a bold congress raised its pay by 50 per cent to $7,500 a year. The taxpayers set up a howl. Jit tery members, anxious to stay on in Washington, repealed the pay boost just before the elec tions in 1894. Congress last gave Itself a pay raise in 1955 when it boost ed its salary from $15,000 a year to the present $22,500. The latest move to up con gressional pay came about this way: The last Congress passed a law adopting the principle that pay for government career workers should be "compara ble" with those in private indus try. At the same time, the law makers realized that this soon would mean some top-level ca reer workers would be making more money than . their su periors in the executive depart ment . . . and in Congress. That, of course, wouldn't do. So Con gress asked the President what should be done about it. The next steps were strictly routine, and expected. The Pres ident set up a commission. The commission suggested that ex ecutive salaries be raised to a top of $50,000 a year for Cabi net members and $35,000 a year for congressmen. Too Much Three weeks ago, the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee decided that was too much. It favored a bill which would increase Cabinet salaries to $35,000 a year and congressional salaries to $32, 500. It also would raise the salaries of practically every civilian working for govern ment from the vice president on down. The cost would be about $600 million a year. A check of the Senate com mittee indicates members like what they see in the House bill. An attempt will be made to pass it this year.
