Limit Reached
On Civil Service
Extension
President Declares
New CIussificutions
Must Awoit Congress
Ry ], A, O'LEARY.

The administration has gone
almost as tar as it can under ex-
listing law in extending the civil
service status to Government per-
sonnel heretofore outside the sys-
tenn, President Roosevelt made
known today,
In response to questions at his
press conference, Mr.. Roosevelt
pointed out that there are some
agencies whose employees cannot be
placed under civil service. In most
cases this is because of terms laid
down by Congress in creating the
agencies and it is true of number
of the emergency establishments set
up since 1888.
622,OO0 in Classified Service.
Latest estimates by civil service
authorities show $4,000 civilian
workers in the executive branch OF
the Government are now within the
classified civil service, but there are
still about $4,000 unclassifled en-
ployes, some in New Deal agencies,
but many others are scattered
through the old established depart
ments.
Queries concerning civil service at
the White House conference were
prompted by the fact that among
Mr.. Roosevelt's list of callers was
Frederick M. Davenport, chairman
of the Council of Personnel Ad-
ministration. Mr.. Davenport has
been in consultation with the Presi-
dent from time to time on personnel
problems. He probably will see Mr.
Roosevelt early next week.
When Congress adjourned August
5, the Ramspeck bill to broaden the
Presidents power in extending civil
service to groups that can not be
included under existing law, had
been approved by House commit
tee, and the Rules Committee had
authorized a special rule for its con-
sideration on the floor. In the ad-
journment rush, however, it was not
taken up.
Congress Action in Doubt.
Although Congress will be back
in session next Thursday, admin
istration leaders have made it clear
they hope to confine the special
session to the neutrality program
At the same time, the fact the
House must wait until the Senate
has debated and acted on neutral
ity gave rise to speculation as to
whether It would take up such un-
finished matters as the civil service
rule, in the interim.
The President also was asked to-
day whether his recent conferences
with Louis Brownlow, one of his
close advisors on Government re-
organization, had anything to do
with discussion of plans for meet
ing a possible recurrence of problems
that arose in Washington during the
World War.
The President made it clear the
conferences had no such connection
and that no such plans were be-
ing considered or discussed.

the accomplishments of Mr.. Parker
and his staff" said the new admin
istrator. I'm very much in SYM
pathy with the policies he has estab-
lished here-particularly his policy
of making sure that the largest per-
centage of relief funds gets into the
hands of certified relief workers
Mr.. Edwards said the present ad-
ministrative personnel appears to be
well qualified and that he con-
templated' no drastic changes at
present.
But I'm convinced in my own
mind" he added, that the w. P. A
Administration in the Nation s
Capital should be a model for the
entire country, and intend to dc
everything in my power to bring
that about

from New York, where he was In
