Yes but the sources said the Pay Board does not expect this to have much effect on the pay portion of agreements because fringe benefits usually increase in line with pay What will be the effect of the rulings on the present dock strikes and coal strike? The board has not consid ered any specific cases just anticipate ev one source said have the slightest idea how the board is going to re said another How final is the policy statement? It has no legal force The board meets again at 2 pm Thursday to attempt to reduce the general policies to specific legally binding directives But one source cautioned that it could take months to settle ev erything Will persons who did not get yearly pay step ups called for in their contract during the freeze now be able to collect them? The general guide line says existing pay practices will be honored after the freeze But the sources cautioned that no final decision has been made on longevity increases What about merit increas es? Again the general guide lines say that past pay practices will again be allowed after the freeze but the board has not ruled specifically on merit increases One of the limited cases in which persons may collect ret roactive pay for raises lost dur ing the freeze is if the employ prices were raised before the freeze in anticipation of the wage boost Does this mean teachers may collect retro active pay raises if taxes were raised beforehand? Quite possibly are a source said Why the board ap prove demand for retro active payment of all lost raises? 'rhe sources said this would have been terribly unfair to landlords who could not collect retroactive rent increases to sellers who cannot get retro active price increases and to lots of workers without con tracts who probably would have received raises if not for the freeze but who would be unable to prove that to support a claim for retroactive payment Luther Martin Cloer 26 route 2

ticket In Atlanta Sen Barry Gold water said Agnew should not and will not be replaced as Nix running mate I had to guess right now have to guess Agnew was more popular in the Republican party than Mr Gold water told a news conference The senator from Arizona 1964 GOP presidential stan dardbearer was in Atlanta for one of the 18 nationwide Republican dinners connected by closed circuit television with the $500 aplate Chicago and New York gatherings Agnew told diners in Chicago that the occasion marked the proper time launch a united effort to urge a great President to seek a second The vice

would be and Nixon referred to the series of dinners as biggest event of its to be sponsored by either major political party in a nonelection year The President however soft pedaled partisanship except when chiding the Democratic controlled Congress and talked about a nonpartisan agenda for the country His defense of foreign aid was more pointed in New York perhaps because he departed frequently from his notes in the two cities he visited In New York he said: are no constituencies for foreign aid We know that But let us recognize this: If the United States at this particular time should determine that it will discontinue its programs of mutual assistance for countries 1 abroad it can only mean that the world will become much more unstable that the dangers of war in the world
