Federal civilian employees would receive a 6.2 percent raise as a result of the total compensation comparability provisions of the bill.

This is intended to give the Army a more physically fit force and reduce chances of heart attacks among soldiers. Details of the new programs are to be worked out over the next two months, the official says, but the general outline is already clear.' The present system is too cumbersome and requires to much special equipment. The new test will have three events that require no special equipment. The events will probably be pushups, sit up and a two-mil- e run. Events, such as swimming, the official adds, may be included as substitutes for events soldiers cannot do because of profiles. THE testing program for those over 40 has not yet been designed, officials say, but the aim is to keep it as close to the under-4- 0 test as possible, with criteria adjusted for age. The new tests will likely be given more than once a year to keep up the level of physical trainig, according to the official. The annual test was not often enough to do this.
