Austin American-Statesman D9 I Washington notebook Sunday, November 7, 1982 Switched letters change view of aging ungrateful politician and a notion which first gained currency when Carter served as governor of Georgia. Even some major countries Carter visited during his presidency don't rate a single mention in his book. Former President Jimmy Carter's new book is provoking a little resentment. Cox Newt Service The report from the House Special Committee on Aging had not even arrived when a staff member was on the phone to a reporter urging that he be called back the minute the handout appeared. There was an important and urgent change to be made, the staffer said.

When the report arrived, the reason for the chagrin was clear. The final line of the handout, which went out under the name of chairman Rep. Claude Pepper, the foremost congressional representative for the elderly, called for "a national commitment to assure the well-being of older Americans in their swindling span on this earth." "Make that please," the aide said. "It must have been typed on a Republican typewriter."

Unless the lame-duck Congress takes specific action to block such a raise, the salaries of senators and representatives, now frozen at $60,662, will increase automatically to $77,300 in mid-December. Since congressional salaries set an effective cap on the pay rates of the upper-crust federal bureaucracy, other raises may be in store. Thus, career civil servants, frozen at a maximum of $57,500, could get raises of up to $6,300 while the pay for members of the elite Senior Executive Service could go up as much as $8,700. Among the expected beneficiaries of the postelection salary bonanza: Top members of President Reagan's White House staff. Under law, they would be entitled to earn as much as $77,300 a year.

how favorably) they have been mentioned. Their complaints arise because Carter makes only skimpy references to all but a few members of his Cabinet and to his White House staff. "It's the kind of thing you'd want to show your grandchildren one day," said one former disaffected aide. "If you're hardly mentioned, after all that hard work on his behalf, how are they going to know that what you did made a difference?" Since the former president wrote his memoirs with the aid of a powerful computer, indexing the book was a technological snap. Yet Carter didn't have much to say about other people a personal trait which contributes to the image of an "Keeping Faith," Jimmy Carter's newly published presidential memoirs, may yet climb to the top of the best-seller charts.

But the book already is privately regarded as a dud by some disgruntled people who toiled loyally on his behalf during his four years here. Carter's problem reflects a Washington truth: Insiders here invariably turn first to the Index of any presidential autobio graphy to see just how many times (anc ,1 11 fFWiJ WW-" I He UAMb Wl1' VpteEa' CARTRIDGES 1' WE CARRY i. 1 7C FOR USE WITH THE M.Wl Wil.Jr ATARI UNIT iJk A OPEN SUN.
