Similar action was taken on Sept. 1. in the U. S. Senate, where the vote to reject the higher pay boost rate was S3 to 39. Amajority vote by either the U. S. Senate or the House of Representatives was required to override the President's S per cent limlt.tlon. Earlier this year, Presidential pay agents advised the President that Federal employees, including military personnel, should receive an 8.66 per cent pay increase, beginning in Oc- tober, in order to keep pace with private industry. However, President Ford determined Ihat the pay raise should be limited to S per cent as part of his effort "to build a strong and stable economy and to bring intlatior; under controL" The cost of the 5 per cent pay raise is estimated I1·S2.3 billion, compared with the U.9 billion cost of the larger inerease. As The ROCKETEER went to press this week, neither the Payroll Branch which prepares Civil Service paychecks, or military payroll per- sonnel had received the charts on which to base the amount of each individual's pay increase. However, military payroil employees will be trying to get the changes incorporated into paychecks that Armed Forces per- sonne' will receive on Oct. 15, while the pay boost for Civil Service employees is expected to be reflected on paychecks to be distributed Oct. 31.

I From : I PLACE STAMP HERE To: " Pay raise set at _ 5% for civilian, military personnel Members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday voted 278 to 113 to kill a resolulion thet would have raised the pay of all Federal employees and military personnel by 8.66 per cent, thus upholding the S per _~ cent increase recommended by President Gerald Ford. Similar action was taken on Sept. 1. in the U. S. Senate, where the vote to reject the higher pay boost rate was S3 to 39. Amajority vote by either the U. S. Senate or the House of Representatives was required to override the President's S per cent limlt.tlon. Earlier this year, Presidential pay agents advised the President that Federal employees, including military personnel, should receive an 8.66 per cent pay increase, beginning in Oc- tober, in order to keep pace with private industry. However, President Ford determined Ihat the pay raise should be limited to S per cent as part of his effort "to build a strong and stable economy and to bring intlatior; under controL" The cost of the 5 per cent pay raise is estimated I1·S2.3 billion, compared with the U.9 billion cost of the larger inerease. As The ROCKETEER went to press this week, neither the Payroll Branch which prepares Civil Service paychecks, or military payroll per- sonnel had received the charts on which to base the amount of each individual's pay increase. However, military payroil employees will be trying to get the changes incorporated into paychecks that Armed Forces per- sonne' will receive on Oct. 15, while the pay boost for Civil Service employees is expected to be reflected on paychecks to be distributed Oct. 31.

Recently, a gyro/ accelerometer test station built by Forrest Allred, a mechanical engineer in the Control DesIgn Branch of the Engineering Department's I Product DesIgn Division, was certificated by the F1eet Missile Systems Analysis and Evaluation Group (FMSAEG) from Corona. '!be certificatioo was the end result of three years of man-labor by Allred and the test station's two designers - Jack Richer and Kurt Lantz. In recent years, the missile industry has eipressed a concern that the Naval Weapons Center impose the same rigorous requirement on Its test equipment as those that have been established for private In- dustry. To comply with this concern, last spring the Code 55 Product DesIgn Divisioo undertook the task of having test statioos used for F1eet support in the Sparrow AIM- 7F programs certified '!be gyro / accelerometer test statim - the first of these to receive tbls certification - was constructed at a cost of f75,OOO for materials. It can perform all of the pre- production and quality conformance In- spections normally required to evaluate the performance of rate gyros and miniature accelerometers.
