Summer Stupidity

Summer Stupidity
Maybe it's the weather, and may
be it's just RR'S natural state, but
for the first time he's noticed the
legend on the Calexico depot pro-
claiming that city just one foot
below sea level The observation
was followed by the happy thought,
that, should the ocean ever come in
Calexicans would be in favored
They could just wade out,
where the i,st of us would have
to swim. Also we just happened to
think that when Calexico pedes-
trian jumps at the sound of an
auto horn, he's above sea level,
and when he comes down, he below
again.
And 1t Was
Leta Mae Brayan, returning from
q day at Lake Moreno, was asked
whether it was hot in the mount
aims. RR's not just sure, but her
reply sounded like:
Hot? Why it was hotter'n a
Dodo birds hatched egg"
The Mans Dynamic
None of this ieisurely sitting
around. lolling in the shade for
Bob Hatton. No sir! Hot as 1t is,
Bob was on his feet practically
every minute of the day Monday
Of course, the fact that he went
horseback riding at Pine Valley
Sunday may have had something to
do with it.
Yep, It's Him =.
Friends who have noticed Forrest
Ferguson on the streets lately have
remarked almost without fail how
good he is looking after his vaca-
ton Truth is, Forrest hasn't been
l away that long-his hair Is just
growing out again. Forrest shaved
, his head some time ago, remember
so his wife wouldn't take him to
parties. He is recognizable again
Another member of the shaved
head club is Pat Corey, but thus
far RR hasn't been able to find out
why. Cooler. maybe.

ReoSsuring

pres ident ROOSevelt's
budget message is in general
reaSSuring to Government
employees, for personnel items
for the most part have Jared
reasonably well. Increased
perSO SOnnel appropriations
have been provided for a
number of agencies which
are nOtOriOusly shOrt-handed,
and in which, as a result,
employees have been SUBJ
jected to considerable un-
paid overtime. The rights Of
Government employees to fair
conditions appear to have
been given consideration in
preparation of the budget,
and it is my opinion that this
indicates recognition of the
principle we have always
maintained, that a working
force which has proper con-
ditiOnS of labor is the most
efficient a n d economical
working force, whether in
public or private employ.

Platform

The Civil Service Commission recon-
meBds-
l. That positions of first, second,
and third-class postmaster be placed
under the Civil Service Act and rules.
This continues to be a primary recon-
mcndation, as these positions relate
solely to the business of Government
and cannot be regarded as policy-form-
ing.
q That legislation be enacted which
will give the President power to bring
under the civil-service law all positions
which have been excluded by legisla-
tion; and that as soon as practicable
all positions which are not policy-form-
ing be brought within the classified
). That authority be given the Civil
Service Commission to conciliate
through conciliation committees, differ
ences between employees and supervis-
ors arising from removals. reductions,
or suspensions.
A. That the scope of the Classifica.
tior Act be extended to include the
approximately $4,000 positions in the
field service, the salaries of which are
not fixed by specific legislative sched-
ule or wage-board method. This action
will correct many inequalities in pay
scales among the field offices of the
various departments and indepedent es-
tablishments and will thus promote bet

More Money

7. That, inasmuch as the Commission
cannot adequately perform the work 1t
should perform as the central personnel
agency of the Government upon its pres
ent appropriations, such appropriations
be brought more nearly into line with
the appropriations considered economi-
cal by private business for the same pur-
poses. The Com mission has been oper-
ating on approximately one-fourth of l
per cent of the pay roll of employees
subject to its Jurisdiction, whereas the
average expenditures of IS corporations
indicate that business considers an ap-
preparation of ~ per cent of its pay

FUTURE POLICIES

During the next fiscal year it will be
the policy of the commission to i'm
prove procedures with special reference
to the following matters:
Encouragement by example and pre-
cept of the establishment of a competi-
tive promotion system for advancement
to higher positions.
Improvement in recruitment proce-
dures in securing the best qualified can
didates for Federal positions.
Development of more adequate faciii-
ties for transfer of employees from one
agency to another.
Development Of procedure for in
dividual examinations and investigation
of all candidates sufficiently well quail
fled to have a reasonable chance for ap-
pointment.
Continuation of the encouragement Of
the esta ablishment of a career system in
the Government service.
The Washington times., 1938-01-10
Uniformity

To establish a uniform optional retire
ment age of so years after 80 years
service or So years after Is years serv-
ice, to be exercised by either the Govern
ment or the employe: and to make re-
tirement compulsory at 70 years of age
for all.
To provide annuity for employees re-
tired because of physical disability who
recover before reaching retirement age,
and who fail to secure reinstatement
through no fault of their own.
To broaden retirement benefits so as
to permit an employe to elect a reduced
annuity in order that payments may be
continued to & surviving dependent.
6. That the administration of person
Independent agency be strengthened
