CIVIL SERVICE LIST
DENIED STOWELL
Court UphoIdS Commission in
Withholding Names From
Inspection.

Justice Adosph A. Hoehling of the
District Supreme Court today denied
the application of DR.. Eilery {. Sto-
well, president of the Better Govern
ment League, for mandamus against
the Civil Service Commission to COM
pei the members of the commission to
furnish him with list of the tenn
porary employees in the Federal de-
detrimental service or to permit him
to inspect the list of such employees.
Following the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case of
Frothingham VS.. Mellon. Justice
Hoehling declares DR.. Stowell has no
such interest as a mere taxpayer of
the United States to inspect the list
of Federal employees. If he had, then
every citizen would have IA like right
Of inspection and an endless success
sion and multiplicity of suits similar
to the present, conceivably at least.
may he brought and successfully main
tained' DR.. Stowell, says the court
not only fails to disclose any special
right or interest in the subject mat
ter of the suit, but his petition is
silent as to the ultimate object which
he has in mind in the event he should
secure the information.
If DR. Stowell conceives that a dis
closure of such information would in
dictate that the civil service act is not
being generally observed and followed,
the court says. that matter can be APP
propriately investigated, and, if need
be. rcmedied, but not in a court pro-
ceeding by one citizen of the United
States.
The civil service commissioners,
through Assistant United States At
torney Rover. in their answer raised
the point of lack of interest of DR..
Stowell and also pointed out that the
commission, as required by law, keeps
the list of employees under the CLASH
fled service on 500 600 separate cards.
The commission said that these rec
ordS of employees are in daily use and
contain confidential information which
would be against the public interest to
disclose, especially in the matter of
secret investigators and law-enforce-
mont officers.
