employees NOW
: HAVE LITTLE
REDRESS
Drastic Reforms in Federal
Service to Be Pushed at
Next Session of Congress

Drastic reforms, designed to
benefit the rank and file of
Government workers, are to be
sought at the next session of
Congress, it was learned authori-
tatively today.
The proposed reforms, which
are far.reaching in scope, have
been studied and discussed by a
number of organizations composed
wholly or in part of Government
employees, and are rapidly being
put into concrete form. Senator
Smith w. BrOokhart (R) of Iowa,
Representative Frederick r. Lehl.
bach (R.) New Jersey, and Repre-
sentative Addison T. Smith (R.)
Idaho are to be asked to sponsor
bills incorporating part or all of
the proposed reforms.
The legislation includes organi-
zation of an administrative appeal
board and an administrative court
OF appeals with judicial powers,
consolidation of the Civil Service
Commission, the Personnel CLASH
fication Board. the Retirement
Fund Administration. and the
Federal Employees Disability Com
penSation Commission.
Appeal Board Bill
Senator Brookhart introduced
a bill at the last session of Con-
greSS to establish an adminiStra-
tive appeal board to hear COM
plants of Government workers
who do not believe they have been
treated fairly, but it was not acted
upon and died when Congress ad-
journed.
That bill is to be introduced
again at the new session next De
cember.
While admitting that the pas
sage of the Brookhart bill would
be a step in the right direction,
leaders of the organizations which
are sponsoring the reforms are in
clined to believe that the meas
ure be broadened so as to estab-
HSh special judiciary to handle
complaints of Government work
ers.
Have No Redress
AS matters now stand, it was
pointed out by Major Charles
William Freeman, former presi-
dent of the Federal Bar Associa-
tion, Government workers have
no redress if their classification
is falSified except by appeal back
to the personnel classification
board.
Major Freeman declared that
many Government employees have
been secretly rated downward
without the opportunity of a
hearing, and expressed the belief
that many workers had been
forced to leave the service through
operation of this system. He de-
clared that many of his associates
in the various organizations in
which he is active are of the
opinion that consolidation of
agencies dealing with the en-
ployes and a special administra-
tive system of courts will be the
only solution.
At the same time, it was
learned that already a movement
is under way for the transfer of
the Retirement Fund Commission,
now in the Pension Bureau, to
the Civil Service Commission.
This step, it was said, has the
approval of the Administration.
