Logan Points Out That Civil
Service Remedy Lies
With Funds.

Cne OF the Federal personnel prob
lens needing congressional attention,
in the opinion of Senator Logan,
Democrat, of Kentucky, is the extent
to which promotions called for by the
classification act have to be put of
indefinitely because of insufficient
appropriations
Commenting on various questions
affecting Government employees that
may come UP for discussion this VIM
ter, Senator Logan indicated he re-
CARDS the salary schedules in the
existing classification act as salts
factory, provided the advancement OF
employees could be made as they meet
the promotion requirements In the
act.
While the classification act fixed q
series of salary steps for positions in
each grade in the classified service,
promotions from one step to another
are not automatic, because they can
only be made if funds are available.
The controlling factor. therefore, is
the amount of money appropriated
each year by Congress for personal
services in each department.
The Kentuckian has no definite
plans at this time for taking up the
subject, but mentioned it as one Of
the questions to which consideration
should be given.
Senator Logan is preparing, how
ever, to seek early action on his bill,
which was sidetracked in the last
Congress, to extend the civil service
merit system more generally through
the executive departments and agen-
cies. Although hearings were held
before the measure was reported to
the Senate in the Seventy-fourth Con-
gress, the Senator said he has de-
cided it would be advisable to ask
for new hearings by the Civil Service
Committee at this session.
The Kentucky Senator said his
measure is not intended to blanket
into the civil service" all those who
have been appointed without regard
to civil service. He pointed out that
his bill would require incumbents Of
such positions to qualify in a nom
competitive examination before they
obtain a civil service statls
