THE board Of directors OF
the National League of Women
Voters has voted today to sup
port the reorganization of the
Civil Service administration.
We believe that a single Civil
Service administrator with a
= nOn-salaried board will facih-
tate the development of the
best practices. The other recon-.
mendations of your committee
on administrative management
are in line with ones that long
have been advocated by the
League of Women Voters. and
that have been brought to the
attention of the public by the
Leagues personnel campaign.
During the course of this
campaign we have become in
creasingIy aware of the force
of the growing belief that self
respect and national pride call
for the breaking of the bond
age of a century, and the be-
ginning in earneStneSS to en-
list, train and reward public
servants skilled in managing
our common concerns. We feel
sure you will find bulwark of
public belief back of your eff
forts to improve the Federal
Civil Service"
