Gall, Not Courage
Needed for Raise
By GEORGE J. 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

each, but with deductions for
each day of absence except for
illness. That "No work-no pay"
policy is still on the congres
sional books. 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on in Washington, repealed the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.
