Colonel McMullen testified that
he had drawn the contract while
on leave and at the request Of
the Assistant Secretary Of War
Woodring. Mr.. Woodring later
rewrote the contract several times
according to Colonel McMu1en.
It was then delivered by Colonel
McMullen to Ralph O'Neil. Mr..
silvermar's attorney, who was
staying at q local hotel.
Mr.. Woodring wanted to permit
the sale of the surplus Army
clothing on the domestic market
instead of forcing it into export.
Colonel McMullen told the com
mittee.
Preceding his testimony today,
Colonel McMullen said he was
willing to answer various ques.
tions from the committee. During
his testimony yesterday he had
engaged in frequent alterations
with his inquisitors over the line
of questioning.
Colonel McMullen outlined q

Jackson, former secretary of the

REP. RAMSPECK
To HELP JOB
APPEALS
Plans Measure to Provide
Appellate Powers for U. S. |
Civil Service Board !

Legislation granting appellate
power to the U. S. Civil Service
Commission as method of re-
dress for discharged Federal ems
ployeS was urged today by Repre-
sentative Ramspeck CD Of
Georgia, a member Of the House
Civil Service Committee.
Mr.. Ramspeck will probably be
chairman Of the committee in the
next Congress in view of the fact
that the present chairman, Rep
reSentative Lamar Jeffers CD Of
Alabama, was beaten for rejection
in the primaries in his State, and
also because Representative Will
liam I. Sirovich CD of New York,
ranking member of the COM
mittee, has another craftsmanship.
Will Ready Bill
The Georgia representative as
serted he would introduce a bill
giving the Civil Service Commits
sion power to hear appeals from
workers discharged by the Of
ficials Of their departments.
A bill was introduced in the
past Congress by Representative
Sirovich which would create a sep
arate and distinct appellate board.
The bill failed to pass.
Mr.. Ramspeck declared he
thought it wiser" to let the ap-
pellate power in a group of in
dividuals already in the Federal
service, rather than to create a
new board, with the subsequent
additional expense.
Transfer Register"
Mr.. RamSpeck asserted he will
also introduce a measure in the
next Congress creating a transfer
register" in the Civil Service Com.
mission which would eliminate
the present red tape necessary for
transfer Of Government employees
from one position to another
within or outside Of the depart
ments in which they are en-
ployed.
