HIGH TURNOVER
HELD To HURT
SERVICE
Disputes Over Unemployment
and Age Limit Said to Show
Change Is Needed
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Recent developments in the
Civil Service have strongly EN-.
.phasized the urgent need Of a
more unified personnel policy
On the part Of the Federal Gov.
eminent, and more regard for
the principles of sound labor man.
agement.
The Civil Service Commission
has comparatively little control
over personnel policies in many
Federal agencies; none except in
Gofar as Civil Service laws and
regulations apply to those agen-
cies. The emergency units are
q law unto themselves, and in
the established organizations of
the Federal Government tn e
commissions influence is sharply
limited.
TWO INQUIRIES UNDER WAY
Because there is no sound per.
sonnet policy, President Roosevelt
within the last 10 days has d.
fected two investigations Of
phases of Federal employment.
First, he has asked Budget Di-
rector Lewis w. Douglas to
find out why his expressed
wishes have been disregarded in
the matter Of reemploying ouSted
Federal workers; and second, he
has asked Secretary Perkins to
confer with the Civil Service Com
mission regarding the 40-year ban
in certain examinations.
Even more recently, the report
Of the commission on personnel
changes in the Government Serv-
ice for September has appeared,
and it indicates what appears to
be an extraordinarily high turn
over in Government jobs, particu-
1arly in the emergency units.
Probably to some extent the
separations and additions revealed
In the September report are &C.
counted for by bureau mergers,
whereby some employees are sepa-
rated from jobs in one agency
and get new jobs in another. But
although there may be excellent
explanations for all these charges.
It appears strange that the De-
partment Of Agriculture should
have hired 2,022 employees in
Washington during September
and fired 922, nearly half as many.
FEW WERE REEMPLOYEO
incidentally, practically none Of
the added help came from the re-
employment registers maintained
by the Civil Service Commission,
though there are some 5000
names on the list Of ousted work
ers awaiting unemployment, and
the commission is now trying to
find out if all Of these are still
available.
Turnover was extraordinarily
high also in the NRA, where 4S5
people were hired and 1872 fired
during September, q net change
Of 103 additions. Inasmuch as
the NRA is differed largely by
business draftees, rather than by
typical Federal employees, it might
be expected that an effort would
be made to keep down turnovers,
Since high turnover is consid-
cred detrimental to sound bust
ness practice.

CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES

Sept. 10-Mass at Kerrick.
The Catholic religion is pre-emi-
nently qualified to make good citizens,
and to prepare men for heavenly citi
zenship. She explains the divine
laws and Christian councils, and con-
stantly breaches their observance.
When men become guilty of breaches
OF Gods laws, she has them brought
individually before the Christ's bar of
justice-the confessional. Besides ap-
plying practical psychology to the in
dividual penitents, she also admin
sters to them the supernatural aid of
Christ's Sacraments. 1t is no wonder
that all over the world the saint and
the sinner, the prince and the peasant,
the learned and untutored flock to the
Catholic church.
