CIVIL SERVICE
BILLPUSHEDIN
CONGRESS
Ramspeck Is Hopeful
Of Passage Before
Session Ends

Hope was expressed today by
Representative Robert Ramspeck,
chairman Of the House Civil Serv.
ice Committee, that his bill per.
mitting the President to extend
the Civil Service system to all
executive departments may be
passed before Congress adjourns.
Chairman RamSpeck's bill al
ready has been favorably reported
by his committee and he is max.
ing every effort to have 1t called
up shortly after Congress meets
Monday.
Although Congressional leaders
will make every effort to adjourn
this session as soon as possible
it is pointed out that it is consid.
cred to the advantage of tina
Democratic party to push the bill
at least through the House so that
it can be made the basis Of a
plank in the Democratic platform
and thereby beating the RepuhlL
cans to the gun.
Workers Object
The specific authorization for
the change is included in the first
section Of the bill which reads:
"That Notwithstanding any
provision of law to the con.
trary, the President is author.
lied by Executive order to place
within the classified service as
defined by the act Of March n,
1922, any position cor group Of
positions in the executive branch
of the Federal service which may
now or may hereafter be ex.
empted by statute from the pro-
visions Of the civil service act
OF January 10, 1888"
There is restriction in the bill,
however, which does not meet the
demands Of the Government EN-,
ployeS. 1t provides:
"The incumbent of any
permanent position which is af.
fected by any Executive order
which may be issued under au-
thority of this statute who does
not already have q classified
status may acquire such status
in his position only upon receiv-
ing q new appointment As = re-
suit of an open competitive
examination held by the Civil
Service Commission for filling
the position"
Chance for Coup
It is understood that if this bill
becomes a law the President will
not blanket in any New Deal
agencies that are only temporary
but will confine his orders to the
departments and bureaus that
have been set up as permanent
adjunctS to regular Government
agencies.
Little doubt is felt that If the
administration forces see a chance
for a coup in pushing this meas
ure through that it will pass. It
has been pointed out that under
the pressure of close adjournment
many an important measure has
been pushed through in short
order.
