For Civil

The Civil Service Administra-
ton would be composed of a non
partisan board, serving without
pay, and a paid Civil-Service ad-
ministrator.
The measure also provides for
the blanketing in under the Civil
Service Of all permanent Govern
ment agencies. Emergency organ
izations and corporations are spe-
officially exempted.
Representative Thomas Cochran
Cd of Missouri, chairman of the
full reorganization committee, in
timated that hearings may be held
