REMOVALS APPLY

McCarI Tells Labor Secretary
Effect on New Immi-
grafton Service.
SPECIFIC ANSWERS
GIVEN 3 QUESTIONS
Controller General Says Presiden-
tial Appointees Would Be
Included Under Act.

All personnel employed in any agency
which is abolished or any governmental
function which is disposed of, including
presidential appointees, are subject to
dismissal, Controller General McCarl
today told the Secretary of Labor
The controller generals decision fol-
lowed request from the Labor De-
partment head for information as to
the new immigration and naturaliZa-
ton service, which was directed in the
Presidents reorganization order last
month to be built up out of the con-
solidation of the Bureaus of Immi-
grafton and Naturalization
The Labor Department head asked
these three questions:
l. If the new head, who is to be
known as the commissioner of imni-
grafton and naturalization, may be ap-
pointed by the Secretary of Labor, or
whether the position is to be filled by
the President with Senate confirmation?
2. What annual salary is payable
to the commissioner?
3. Whether all those persons ap-
pointed to the existing bureau by the
President, with Senate approval such
as commissioners of immigration at the
ports, are subject to removal under
that section of the reorganization order
which provides that AL personnel en-
ployed in connection with the work of
an abolished agency shall be
separated from the service of the United
States?
Answer on Removals.
On the question of remorals. the con-
troller general answered as follows:
Section 404 of the economy act as
amended by the act of March 3, 1898,
directs the President to dispose Of the
personnel OF any agency transferred,
consolidated or eliminated. The first
paragraph Of Section 10 of the execu-
tive order of June 10, 1888, provides
that each agency, all the functions of
which are consolidated with another
agency, is abolished and the last para
graph OF said section, which is the only
portion of the executive order disposing
of personnel, directs that all personnel
employed in connection with the work
OF an abolished agency or function dis
posed OF shall be separated from the
service Of the United States, no excep-
ton being made Of presidential ap-
pointees'
The controller general underscores
| the word "all' in the last sentence and
| says in summation that the query about
| separation IS answered in the affrma-
| tive.
Appointments and. Approval.
He advises that the commissionership
| may be filled by the Secretary Of Labor
with the approval of the President and
| says that the pay must be fixed in &C
! cordance with the terms of the classifi-
cation act of 1928, as amended
In the decision, however, the con-
troller general quoted that section of

that any employe of an abolished
agency may be employed by the sue
