Civil Service Plan
FOrG.A.O. Assailed

Charging the Civil Service Com
mission and the General Account
ing Office would be controlled by
politics under the Presidents re-
organization program, Representa-
tive John Taber (R), of New York,
announced he will file minority
report on the last two reorgan1za-
ton bills introduced in the House.
One of the measures, already
reported favorably to the House,
would abolish the Civil Service
Commission and establish in its
stead a civil service administrator.
This measure, Mr.. Taber says,
would result in complete destruc-
ton" of the civil service system OF
merit and would place the civil
service officials in the position OF
political footballs"
The other bill would abolish the
post of controller general and
would create the position Of audi
tor general. The proposed audi
tor general would be presidential
appointee, whose decisions would
be subject to the final approval of
the Attorney General.
This bill, Mr.. Taber said, would
destroy the independence of the
present position of controller gen,
eral, with politics playing an i'm
portant part in decisions on the
disposition Of money appropriated
by Congress.
