OPA Workers May Lose Pay WASHINGTON, July 18 (A) Nearly 50 per cent of OPA's 34,000 workers face the prospect of half-pay this week. And there's a possibility the rest may get none when next week's pay rolls around. This may precipitate a crisis on whether the agency can hold its staff together while legisla tion to revive price controls is pending. Thus fur congress has tnken no final action on OPA's appropria tion for the fiscal year willed began July 1. It may by tho week's end. but that won't avert delays in pay checks. Scheduled to receive checks tomorrow and the rest of this week are about 15,000 OPA field workers. They are assured of at least half of what they have coming because part of the pay period covers the last week of June. But there Is virtually no chance at all, according to OPA budge officials, that they can bo paid on time for the first week of July. 'There is scarcely possibil ity that congress will act before the end of the week," said one official. "That means a delay of at least a few days on the second patch of checks." A week from tomorrow. July 24. is the regular pay day for all other OPA employes about 3400 in Washington and another 15.000 in the field. These al ready have been paid in full for work in June. OPA figures that unless the appropriation bill is through con gress by Friday, it will be im possible to pay these 18.400 workers on time. That means they would get no pay at all when it's due. Ancient peoples believed that the sun traveled around tile earth.
