URGES
CIVIL SERVICE
FORD|STR|CT
System to Cover All
Employees Asked as
Aid to Efficiency

A full-fledged and efficient civil
service system for all employees of
the District government was >advo-
Gated today by Commissioner Mel
vim c. Hazen,
Under the present system, Com
missioner Hazen reminded, only
members of the police and fire
departments have a civil service
rating, although employees Of the
municipal school system, including
teachers, have a merit system un-
der which the Board of Educa-
tion operates.
Commissioner Hazen declared a
civil service system covering the
entire field of municipal employees
is a long-felt need for the efficient
operation of the District govern
ment.
Plan To Be Studied
Whether he favored the Dis
trict's system being. carried on un'
der the Federal Civil Service Com
mission or whether the Capital
should set up commission OF its
own, Commissioner HaZen did not
make clear, but he was emphatic
on the point that no matter what
system be adopted, residents OF
the District should be given pref
erence in the filling of jobs.
It was indicated that the special
committee of 18 prominent citi
zenS, headed by E. Barrett Pretty
man, former Corporation Counsel
will be requested to take up the
advisability of such a system as
proposed by Commissioner Hazen
in the committees studies towarc
promoting additional efficiency in
the local government.
Prior to 1880, the District gov
ernment had practice of filling
all jobs in the service through an
application system. New employees
were selected by a board, which
made study of pending applica
tions in filling positions.
Set Up by Hoover
In November, 1880, an eXecu'
tive order of former President
Hoover set up the present system,
whereby District officials now call
upon the Federal Civil Service
Commission to certify new en-
ployes from its eligible list.
This order exempts employees in
professional grades and depart
ment heads, and also provides that
if there is no eligible list for the
vacant position, the Commis-
sioners may use their discretion in
filling the job.
Commissioner Hazen also an
nounced that the proposal of the
tax delinquency committee for the
reorganization of the Tax Col
lector's, Tax Assessors and the
Tax Arrears offices. which in
wolves merging of several Of the
departments. has been turned over
to the Prettyman committee for
study.

ON VOTE
PREVENTEDBY
RULING
Sharp Debate Finds
Measures Backers
On Defensive

Apparently realizing that they
were outnumbered, House District
Committee advocates of the bill to
legalize horse racing in the Dis
trict were forced to resort to tech.
nicaI parliamentary moves today
a. a mounting opposition group
sought to have the measure re-
called.
Although the opponents failed
in their effort to bring the bill
back to the committee for the OBJ
vious purpose of killing it, they
succeeded in forcing the hand Of
the proponents to the limit and
probably won additional support
in committee.
Losing Fight
The developments at today's ses-
sion of the committee indicated
that the advocates are not sure
they can muster enough support
to push the bill through the House,
and there was evidence to support
the belief that the group filing
the minority report may gain more
signatures to their report than the
advocates.
Representative Merlin Hull CPD
of Wisconsin brought the issue
before the committee when he
asserted that he had read in the
newspapers that the District Com
missioners had submitted an adj
verse report on the bill. He asked
that a copy of the Commissioners
report be sent to the various men,
bers of the committee, his purpose
being to include it in his minority
report.
Representative Mary T. Norton
CD Of New Jersey, committee
chairman and author of the bill,
finally agreed to Hulls request,
but not until Representative AM
brose Kennedy CD of Maryland,
staunch advocate of the measure,
attempted to stop further discus
sion by pointing out that the bill
was not before the committee, hav-
ing been ordered reported to the
House, and that therefore discus
sion on the proposition was not in
order.
Delay Barred
Representative Paul w. Shafer
(RO of Michigan, bitter opponent
Of the bill, then asked whether it
would be possible to bring about
delay of House consideration Of
the bill until further hearings were
held on it. Mrs. Norton answered
that it would not. Representative
William Schultz CD of Indiana,
who has aided in sponsoring the
legislation, interjected
"We are following the rules Of
the House here, and in that case,
since the bill is not before the
committee, this discussion is out
Of order"
Shafer shot back:
II suppose you followed the
rules of the House when you
used proxies to get the bill re-
corded several weeks ago."
Mrs. Norton's face Redeemed as
she asserted:
I'VE did not! And if the gen.
tleman wants me to prove it I
will be glad to do So"
Prevents Debate
When Representative Leon
Sacks CD, of Pennsylvania,
sought to have the committee dis
cuss several amendments to the
measure which he previously pre-
sented to Mrs. Norton, the chair
man stopped him with:
"The bill is not before the COM
mittee for discussion now"
