A government employe who gives in
formation to Congress concerning the
shortcomings of his superiors will be
protected against punishment by demo-
tion or dismissal. if a resolution intro
duced today in the House by Representa-
tive Bathrick of Ohio Is adopted.
"A dread exists in the minds of en-
ployes of the government" said Mr..
Bathrick today. that any testimony they
may give. even before a committee of
Congress, that reflects upon any of the
superiors under whom they are serving,
will be followed by persecution. reduc-
ton in the service or dismissal
But, inasmuch as Mr.. Bathrick con-
siders it amounts to subversion Of disci-
pline for an employe to shield superior
officer, his resolution specifically pro-
vides that hereafter no employe Of the
United States shall be superseded or re-
duced in efficiency rating, denoted or dis
charged in consequence Of testimony or
