The Robinson Government re
organization bill, introduced in
the Senate Wednesday, was
termed a menace to the merit
system today by Charles I. Stem
gle, president of the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes. He said:
"The entire bill reflects a
purpose to give broad, cOntinu-
ing powers to the President.
So far as the authority which
he Is granted to reOrganize the
Government is concerned, the
greatest objection is that it
would be continuing authority.
SIT Is true that this part of
the bill is essentially identical
with similar provisions in the
Economy Act Of 1888, but that
Law was enacted in recognition
Of the existence of an emery.

given the same power, but with

runs counter to the spirit of
the merit Vstem. Control of
