In urging that the service be di-
vorced from its influence.
According 10 reports the Reclassifi-
cation Commission will recommend
that the duties and authority Of the
Civil Service Commission be en-
larged. 1t will propose that the COM
mission sit as a permanent court OF
appeal where the grievances of all en-
ployes be heard after Congress has
passed remedial legislation which will
enable departmental heads to adjust
salaries and positions according to
the needs Of the service. This implies
that the lawmakers will hand out
even handed justice which will en-
able the workers to live real life.

forts OF those who have recommends
