5-P0INT PLAN
SUGGESTED

The five-point program for ex-
tension of the merit system is as
follows:
/. The merit system should be
extended to positions in new and
emergency agencies whose activi-
ties are to continue, and the Pres
ident should be authorized to
place such positions, including
those in governmental corpora
tions, in the classified Civil serv-
ice.
2. The merit system should be
extended to permanent high posts
and all other civilian positions in
the regular departments and es-
adjustments. Exceptions should
be made only in the case of such
Of the highest positions as the
President may find to be princi
pally policy-determining in char
acter.
8. The merit system should be
extended to the lowest positions
in the regular establishments IN
cluding those filled by skilled
Workmen and 1aborerS.
4. The incumbent of any posi-
sion which is placed within the
classified Civil Service should re
ceive Civil Service status only
after passing a special noncom
petitive examination, following
certification by the head Of his
agency that he has served with
merit.
S, All civilian positions in regu
lar departments and establish
ments now filled by Presidential
appointment should be filled b!
the heads Of such departments o.
establishments, without fixec
term, except under secretaries anc
officers who report directly to th'
President or whose appointment
BY the President is required b!
the Constitution.
The Washington times., 1937-01-12
$4,000 IS TOP
FOR SALARIES

Recommendations for the in
crease Of the salaries of top men
in the Government and for the
extension Of the classified act are
as follows:
/. The annual salaries of heads
Of executive departments, under
secretaries and assistant Secreta-
ries should be fixed by law at $20,.
900, $4,000, and $4,000 respec-
lively. Salaries Of heads Of indie
pendent establishments and OF
members of regulatory commits
sions should be fixed by the Presi-
dent at amounts not to exceed the
maximum rate Of the appropriate
classification grades in which
their respective positions are
placed.
2. Compensation in the highest
grades of the career service should
be increased by approp / at e
amendment Of the Classification
Act; permanent officials in the
highest Civil Service positions.
who are charged with the continu.
Gus conduct Of the Governments
work and who have no opportuni'
ties to enjoy the honor and pres
tige of Cabinet and subj Cabinet
posts, should receive from $4,000
to $4,000. Career officials in the
next lower grade should receive
annual salaries ranging from So.
600 to $4,000.
8. The Classification Act should
be extended to the field service
and to exempted positions in the
departmental service and in some
of the governmental corporations
The President should be author
lied to define suitable services anC
grades when positions cannot bt
fairly and reasonably allocated tx
existing services in the Classifica
ton Act and to prescribe Sched
ules of standardized compensation
which shall not exceed rates fixec
therein for positions of similar re
sponsibility. At the same time
governmental corporations anc
temporary agencies, whether 9
not they are subject to Civil SerV
ice rules, should be required tx
apply the merit principle of ap
pointment and promotion to thet
personnel.

in Federal, State, and local
governments, there is over
whelming evidence to show
that the original theory Of
merely protecting appoint
ments from political influence
through a Iegalistic system Of
civil.Service administration is
inadequate to serve democratic
government under modern con-
ditiOns. There is still need
for protection, but the urgent
new need today is for the de-
velOpmen1 Of a real career SER
vice through positive, cOnstruc-
tive, modern personnel ad-
ministratiOn. The functions
that the Federal Government
has been called upon to per-
form are increasingly numer-
Gus, technical, and difficult. 1t
is today the worlds largest and
most intricate administrative
establishment.

Independent Boards
Grow irresponsible

The committees drastic recon-.
mendation abolishing all independ-
ent agencies and placing 100 of
them under the regular depart
ments was accompanied by this
statement:
"They threaten in time to be-
come a headless fourth branch
of the Government, not cOntem-
plated by the Constitution, and
not responsible administratively
either to the President, to the
Congress, or to the courts"
In recommending that these
boards and commissions be trans
fered to the departments, the com
mittee was careful not to take
away the judicial character Of the
work of such boards as the I. C. c.
and the Federal Trade Commis
sion,

SIX TOASS|S7
PRESIDENT

Six assistants for the President
in addition to his present triple
Secretariat!
Not assistant presidents" BY
any means, says the committee rec
concentrations, but almost super
men at that.
Here is the committee specifica
tionS for these new officials:
"They should be possessed Of
high competence, great physical
vigOr and a passion for anOnym-
ity."
No speeches, no interviews, nc
pictures in the papersl
"They would remain In the
background, issue no orders,
make no decisions, emit no pub
lie statements Their func-
ton would be when any matter
was presented to the President
to assist him in obtaining
quickly and without delay all
pertinent information possessed
by any Of the executive depart
ments 50 as to guide him in max
ing his responsible decisions
and to assist him in seeing to it
that every administrative depart
ment and agency is promptly in
formed.
''They should be installed in
the White House ITSELF"
This would require an addition
to be built on the present Execu
tive Office. The report also rec
ornmendS that the PreSiden
should be free to call on the de
partmentS for these six assistants
with "a passion for anonymity,
to be returned to the department
after a tour of duty as his aides.
The committee recommends {
larger White House office force
also a fund to bring to the Whit
House for special duty from tim
to time any especially equipped in
dividual needed for any particula
work.
The Washington times., 1937-01-12

The merit system should be
extended upward, outward,
and downward to include all
positions in the Executive
Branch Of the Government ex-
cept those which are policy
determining in character. At
the same time the Civil-service
administration should be re-
organized into a central per-
SOnnel agency under a single
head and a nOnpartiSan citizen
board appointed to serve as a
watchdog of the merit system.
Personnel administration lies
at the very core of admins
trative management. The
effective conduct of the work
Of the Government depends
upon the men and women who
serve it. Improved plans for
governmental organization and
management are Of little value
unless simultaneous recOgni-
tiOn is given to the need for
attracting, retaining, and de-
veIoping human capacity in the
public service.

experience with Civil Service

Committee Reports
u. 5. Posts Underpdid

The committee report does not
deal with the salaries of the rank
and file of Government employees,
because it is understood that Is
a matter already before Congress;
but the report declares that stop
posts" both in and out Of the Civil
Service, are underpaid; and there
is no systematic provision for
transfer and advancement in the
service. Putting a general person
mel administration into every de-
partment is presumed to correct
this.
