Halaby Says Better Paid Staffs
Would Save Money In Long Run
EDITOR'S NOTE: Najeeb E. cy and ill government i> attract-
' mg the right high echelon people.
You can t do it without eome
monetary incentive in moit in-
stances."
The head of the 44,000-man FAA
sat in his spacious office, which
is decorated with model planes
and Indian relics this hobby1,
and candidly discussed his first
19 months in office He described
life in Washington as "a kind of
battle where you have to keep the
initiative so your enemies are al-
ways firing on your stern and not
your bow."
Halaby. an intense, dynamic
man who looks and talks like
movie star Gregory Peck, tends
to pace while talking to visitors.
He is persuasive, personable, in-
formal and disarmingly frank
His vocabulary is both erudite
and salty. He is known as "Jeeb"
throughout the agency.
Halaby listed these as his
proudeet achievements in FAA
—Establishment of a strong
management team by "deploying
talent more effectively >a polite
way of saying he cleaned house1
and recruiting about 15 unusually
competent and experienced top
people."
—Installing more confidence
and respect in the giant agency
along with less resentment toward
its dictator-like authority.
—Major reforms in FAA’s re
search projects which he thinks
in the past "wandered around
with little sense of direction."
-Improved cooperation with
FAA's sister air agency, the Civil
Aeronautic* Board 'CAB', partic
ularly in enforcement and acci-
dent investigation.
Conversely, Halaby admits his
biggest disappointment — and ifl
a sense, temporary failure — is
continued weaknesses in the na
tion'a air traffic control system.
Halaby beads aa agency with
far-reaching authority over civil
aviation. Inevitably, the boa* of
the Federal Aviation Agency la
the center of controversy, and
Halaby has stirred op his share

mula for saving the taxpayers
money — double the salaries of
top government officials.

Censure Motion Is
New Crisis To Be
Facing DeGaulle
PARIS (UPI) — President

most serious crisis since he took
power in 1958.
De Gaulle's opposition in par-
liament. infuriated by his plan to
•bold a national referendum Oct
SB on the question of presidential
Succession, introduced a censure
motion Tuesday
The motion is given a good
chance of getting the necessary
841 assembly votes when it comes
up for a vote Thursday or Fri-
day This would topple the gov
eminent of Premier Georges
•Pompidou and force De Gaulle to
dissolve parliament and call new
flections.
* A censure move could boomer
ang on parliament, however.
Informed sources said that if
De Gaulle has to call new elec-
tions he will set them on the
same date as the national refer-
endum. This would force nation-
al assembly deputies to campaign
for their own re-election while
fighting against De Gaulle’s pro-
posal that his successor be elect-
ed directly by the people
Under present law. the French
president is elected by 50,000 lo-
cal politicians acting as an Elec-

increase the prestige of the presi-
dency by having voters make
their choice directly.
relationship. The FAA does not
want to take over accident inves-
tigation. But it does want to be
part of an efficiant team in help-
ing CAB solve accidents. I’ve
been accused of shooting off my
mouth about some accidents, but
frankly I don’t think we should
hide anything factual we uncover
in the course of a crash investi-
gation. By telling what we know,
we allay fears and cut down wild
rumors. I regard this as a sound
public policy which I’ll continue
to observe

"Journalistic Myths" On

Here is Halaby's comment on
some of his own and aviation's
problems:
Air Traffic Control: "Neglect of
the airways in the past has pro-
duced a kind of improvised sys-
tem dependent on a large num
ber of persons working in a small
space under very little systemiza
tion. Air traffic controller moral*

feel we're too strict on discipline
when they make mistakes. But
you don't inspire anyone by mol-
lycoddling or pampering. You in-
spire them by leadership, and
that includes giving them the
right tools to do their job. I'd
like to see controllers with the
esprit de corps of the FBI or the
Marines. As for discipline, you
don't wait for an accident to take
corrective action. You take it aft-
er an incident that could have
caused an accident."
Relation* With Congress: ‘Tvs
never been deliberately arrogant
or insulting to a congressman.
Sometimes you inadvertently say
something that gets you into hot
water because you don't know
what motivates a congressional
complaint or suggestion. In one
case, where I was getting blasted
for dosing down an FAA facility
in a city, I didn't know the mayor
wag from one faction, the con
gressman involved was from an-
other. end that each was trying
to outdo the other in retaining the
facility. I guess there's some
merit in the criticism that I’ve
spoken too hastily at times—like
when I called one congressman
‘a freshman who is acting like
freshman.' But I regard Congress
as my board of directors and 1
have no complaints about the co-
operation FAA gets from Capitol
Hill."
His Predecessor, Cl wood R.
Quesada: "Since becoming ad
ministrator, I’ve acquired a lot of
sympathy for what Quesada went
through. I didn't realize until 1
took the job how constant the
pressure would be and what a
variety of forms it assumes."
Accident Investigate*; "I know
there has been something of an
FAA-CAB feud on this subject but
I think we've finally achieved a
very candid, close cooperation
with CAB. At first all we had go-
ing was my friendship with CAB
Chairman (Alan S.) Boyd Now it
is far more than an 'Alan-Jeeb'
feuding among ths various seg-
ments of aviation than there used
to be, but it isn't possible to elim-
inate feuds entirely. I believe
there has been a general improve-
ment in the approach of those
segments to aviation problems
and less concentration on the
things that divide them.
Personal Life: "What personal
life? I love golf and tennis and
hunting but I don't find time for
them anymore We're living off
our savings right now because my
salary '$22,500 annually' isn't
enough to provide me with the
standard of living my family has
enjoyed in the past. I’m not com-
plaining. I'm just stating a fed
eral fact of life. It cost me $5,000
to move here from California. I
had to sell some stock to pay tui-
tion for my children's schooling
We live in a three-bedroom house
and we need four bedrooms be-
cause I have two daughters feud
ing over whether each should
have a room of her own. I work
a six and sometimes a seven-day
week, from 8 30 a m. to 7 p.m
and I’ve traveled nearly 150.000
miles in the last 19 months.”
Those quotes should give some
idea of Halaby the man and his
philosophy of public service.
Halaby's relations with the
press have been better than av,
erage for a top-ranking official in
the Kennedy administration Oc-
casionally, he meets with a small
group of aviation writers as their
guest for luncheon Here he lets
his hair down and discusses in-
formally (and off the record) his
view* on current aviation prob-
lems. It is typical that at these
sessions he usually asks more
questions of the reporters than
they ask of him.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Pres-
idential press secretary. Pierre
Salinger says there are three
"journalistic myths" about the
Kennedy administration.
Speaking before the closing ses-
sion ol the national conference of
United Press International editors
and publishers Tuesday night.
Salinger listed these "myths" as;
"The President has had a ter-
rible time with Congreaa and none
of his legislation has been
passed."
"The President and the mem-
bers of his administration spend
many of their waking hours trying
to harass business and business
men."
"The President and those
around him are sensitive about
the press."
On the Congress topic, Salinger
said that “only two weeks ago
one of our great weekly organs of
public opinion stated flatly that
about all the President had been
able to get through Congress had
been appropriations for State and
Defense."
Batting .700
Salinger said that by the time
Congress adjourns it wUl have
passed almost 70 per cent of Kern
nedy's requested legislation.
He said accomplishments of
Congress included the first major
housing bill in 11 years, the trade
bill, establishment of the Peace
Corps, authorization of the Alli-
ance for Progress, passage of the
United Nations bond issue and
creation of the communications
satellite corporation.
Referring to the “myth of the
anti-business administration," Sal-
inger said that "even at the
height of all the stories about
how the administration was abus
ing business, a Gallup poll showed
that only 16 per cent of business-
men themselves believed it.”
“President Kennedy," he said,
believes that a healthy climate for

business is good for the entire
country. We have attempted to
create that climate."
Press Too Sensitive?
Salinger said that "perhaps the
press is getting too sensitive for
its own good ”
"The press Is a powerful and
great enough Institution to with-
stand criticism.” he said. "So Is
the presidency. We can both live
with constructive criticism without
sensitivity. But let us not b#
afraid to talk back to each
other."
Salinger was introduced by UPI
White House reporter Merriman
Smith.
Other speakers at the closing
day of the two-day meeting were
Dr. Edward Teller, nuclear physi-
cist; Edward V. Rickenbacker.
World War I flying hero and
