Union officials declare Federal workers are still behind the eighfball, so far as living costs are concerned. and need another $300 to $400 to be as well off in purchasing power as they were back in 1939 or 1940. The chances of Federal employes getting another pay boost during the special session are practically nil, and the council knows it. But council officials, at least, want to bring the matter to attention so a full-scale campaign lor higher wages can get rolling at the time the 81st Congress convenes in January. In the words of William C.

And these officials are confident the White House will back them in their stand. expected that at least 7,000 jobs in military agencies will open up in the Washington area during the coming months.

Nation-wide, the total will be over 150,000.
