The House Appropriations
Committee has assumed the
initiative in the movement IN
Congress to correct the mix
up in the administration of
the Welch salary act as . re-
suit Of Comptroller General
j. r. McCarI's Interpretation
Of that law.
The committee yesterday received
full and detailed report on the
situation from the personnel classl'
fication board. Members Of the
board reported to the COMMITTEES the
tangIe which has resulted In the
upper grade Of the professional and
scientific services as result OF Nc.
sCarl's rulings.
The discussion did not include
any reference to the situation IN
the lower grades of the various
services resulting from McCarl's
Interpretation of the relative posi-
ton clause. The Personnel Board
has nothing to do with this part
OF McCarI's interpretations.
. IOESAAG NJ kAgW
There is no longer any doubt but
that q definite move will be made
in Congress during the coming short
session to correct the WEIGH act.
Leading members OF Congress are
convinced that the law has worked
out very inequitabIy and must be
amended.
The particular situation which
the personneI board reported on
yesterday is as follows: s
When the WEIGH law was enacted
two new grades were added TO the
top OF the professional and clerical
services. Thus in the professional
service, grades 4. 5, 6, Z. 8. and 3
were created to replace grades 4, ID,
IS and Z.
IT was believed that some EN-
ployes in the old grade 4 should stay
In the new grade A. but that most
OF the employees Of that grade should
be promoted to grade 5. Employees in
the higher grades would also be
moved up one or two grades.
McCarl. however, ruled that all.
employees in the old grade must be
promoted to grade 5. The old grade
had a wide salary range, but per.
sonneI experts thought it had t>o
many employees doing entirely diff
ferent kinds of work.
This situation was made still
worse by McCarl's ruling. These
employees were ali thrown into
grade with a much shorter salary
range. 1t left division chiefs and
their assistants at the same salary,
for instance.
In order to separate these EN-.
ployes 1t will be necessary either
to move some up or move tho
others down in salary. Congress
must now decide which of these
paths to follow. There is the same
problem in the clerical service.
McCarl's decision also left to the
discretion Of executive heads Of
the department" the question Of
whether employees in the still higher
grades should go up or grades.
The personnel board protested this
ruling, contending that it alone had
the right to make such decisions.
