misnomer.
When December comes round, man,
woman and child begin to plot an
escape from the icy blasts of New
York's canyons, from the London fog
or from the 12-avenue-d drafts of mid
winter on Place de lEtoile. Once you
give the matter thought you are, so
to speak, practically on your way to
the Riviera. It's really very simple.
At 8 pm, red-nosed porters perform

CIVIL SERVICE
SHIFT BACKED
BY YCANPBELL
By EARL GOODWIN

ANAA2@
Strong suppC for a single Civil
Service adminiStr or to take the
place of the Civil Service Commits
sion--a change proposed BY Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his reorganiza-
ton reports given in a telegram
from a former Civil Service Com
mission president, Thomas e.
Campbell, now in Phoenix, Ariz.,
to Louis Brownlow, chairman Of
the Presidents committee on ad-
ministrative management.
Chairman Brnwnlow and Luther
Gulick, member of the committee,
are in almost daily session with
the Joint Congressional Commit
tee which is trying to whip TO-
gether bill or bills containing the
Presidents plan.
Assails Boards
Mr.. Campbell bases his conclu-
sions on his experiences not only
as president of the Civil Service
Commission, but as governor of the
State Of Arizona. H. states that
boards and commissions "are clear
ly not suited to the performance
Of administrative duties"
He backs this u7 with the state
ment that boards and commits
sions carry on their work by com.
promise and indecision. an inef-
ficient method of operation" He
declares that commissions are
dominated by their strongest men,
bers, the rest being mere Eyes
Men"
The proposal to abolish the
Civil Service Commission and re-
place it with a single adminiStra-
tor was one Of the outstanding
recommendations of the Presi.
dents committee on administra-
tive management-a recommen-
dation concurred in by the PreSi-
dent himself. The proposal in
cluded the selection of the ad-
miniStrator chosen after ma
tion-wide competitive examina-
ton; the only Semblance of
board or commission would be
an organization of seven unpaid
citizens to meet from time to
time to check on the work of
the administrator.
CampbeII's Note
Former President Campbells
telegram included the following:
within the past so years,
governmental operations have
become broad in scope and
complex in character. 1t is now
more essential than ever be-
fore that the personnel chosen
to carry on the work of the
Federal government be highly
qualified.
"The result can be obtained
only il Uncle Sans central
personnel agency is permitted
to operate under the admins
trative direction Of a qualified
administrator who can accept
full responsibility for its work
and can give it the imagir4-
tive leadership that is required.
An efficient Government is es-
Sential if our democracy is not
to be supplanted by some more
drastic form Of Government"
