OUR CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION

The local Civil Service department has recently
in for quite bit of adverse criticism official well as pr
vate regarding the apparent arbitrary manner in which
eligible civil service applicants are certified and
others eliminated.
During the past days. instance, unusual public
has been in the of Joe Jenkins
Negro civil engineer and Theodore Bryant both of this
city who recently turned down by the Civil Service
Commission
University of Michigan reported to have passed
celent written examination for position in his line of
work only to be disqualified the grounds Of insufficient
experience while young white engineers who
his classmates qualified and accepted although
their engineering experience did exceed jenkins
perience the latter has been regularly employed in the
engineering division of the State Highway department tor
the past year
In the other case Theodore Bryant successfully
passed the civil service test and placed the eligible
list for position in the local Fire department, dis
the grounds of high bloodpressure 1t is reported that
plans under way have his reopened.
IT Is also RELIABLY reported that one OF the Michigan
representatives in Washington interested in the Jenkins
and may request Mayor Reading investigate the To-
cal Civil Service department to determine if it being
operated mparally and without racial discrimination
the City Charter requires and is believed this nforma
ton will be taken into account at Washington in the
Federal financial assistance desired by the City of Detroit
The Tribune has quarrel with the Detroit Civil
Service Commission and its officials but we do realize
that they only human beings and there
fore not nfabe 1t is but natural that in certifying civil
service applicants the racial identity of the applicant
comes in for consideration well the written
We therefore recommend TO His Honor. Mayor Read
ing that he appoint Negro member the local Civil Ser
vice Commission We have ample cause 10 believe that
v orpointed in the Fire department would not have
been appointed
We also suggest that physical examinations for local
civil ervce applicants be made BY the regular City ply
seas by authorized private physicians by
specially employed physician connected with the Civil
Service Commission The present method places much
power in the hands Of department without adequate
checks and balances
