WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter asked Congress yesterday to change the federal pay system and hold down salary increases for 2.1 million federal employees, saving the tax- payers an estimated $3 billion a year. Military pay would remain largely unaffected. Administration officials. dropped a proposal that would have held down pay for uniformed personnel after Pentagon officials protested. Carter's package, strongly opposed by federal employee unions, was backed by Common Cause, two major business groups and associations of state governments and legislatures. NO FEDERAL worker would get a pay cut, but future pay raises would be held down until federal pay is closer to admini: salarieE Cart uarter s personne airector, AMan Campbell, said that when fully im- plemented in October 1981, the proposals would hold federal pay three per cent to five per cent below what it would beunder present pay formulas. The major proposal would take ac- count of generous civil service pensions and other fringe benefits when setting federal pay at a level supposedly com- parable to non-federal pay. A similar proposal also would com- pare federal pay not only to pay in private business, as is now the case, but to an average that would include pay for state and local government workers, who now make up 13 per cent of the work force.

DNR Director Howard Tanner and Agriculture Director Dean Pridgeon said the proposed 3,501-acre Mill Creek park would have wasted prime agricultural land and was located too far from populous Detroit. The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority Park was proposed for Lime and Freedom townships, 55 miles from Detroit, 16 miles from Ypsilanti and nine miles fromtAnArbor. THE AUTHORITY, which operates several large southeast Michigan "Metroparks" and levies a tax on four counties, listed the purchase price at $6.9 million for land. It applied through the DNR for a federal grant for half of that sum, but Tanner rejected the grant application in close consultation with Pridgeon. Pridgeon said the agriculture depar- tment consistently opposed the project, which has been in the works for nearly. 15 years. Recent emphasis on the agricultural production of alcohol as a fuel source makes it even more imperative to preserve prime farmland, Pridgeon said.
