Furloughs Urged to Hold Posi-
tions on Chance of Con.
gress Remedy.

With a court test scheduled Monday
for the patronage rider which is
ousting more than 900 employees of the
Alcohol Tax Unit on December l, two
other moves were under way today to
aid them.
Letters were going forward to men,
bers Of Congress from the American
Federation Of Government Employees
urging remedial measures, while the
National Federation Of Federal En-
ployes had a request before Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau to fur
Tough the employees until Congress had
a chance to act.
E. Claude Babcock, president of the
Federation of Government Employees,
writing to members of House and Sem
ate, outlined the history of the law
which forced the employees to take
new examinations which cost their
jobs when they failed to pass. and
asked QD that these tests be either
re-rated or Cancelled and CD that the
law be repealed.
Babcock repeated previously-ex-
pressed criticism of the Civil Ser
vice Commission for refusing to give
credit in the examination for ex-
perience, saying that by confining it en-
tirely to mental quiz it declined to
give advantage to the most qualified
eligibles and has violated the spirit
and in fact the letter Of the civil
service act"
