House Modifies Plan
To Block Transfers
OF u. 5. Employees
Civil Service Study
Of Employment in War
Agencies Is Proposed

The House today offered a sub
stitute for the section placed by the
Senate in the first supplemental
national defense appropriation bill
which prohibited the payment OF
salaries to any person recruited by
one Federal agency from another at
an increased rate of compensation.
The Senate provision was designed
10 prevent new war agencies from
outbidGing old-line agencies FOR the
services of efficient employees.
House Proposal
Contending that this would freeze
employees of ol6-line agencies, while
inexperienced employees could be
brought into the service at higher
rates of pay, the House, in consld-
ering the conference report on the
bill. substituted a new section which
provides that:
The Civil Service Commission
shall forthwith make an investiga-
ton of transfers of employees from
one executive agency to another lex
cept to the uniformed forces OF the
United States) for the purpose OF
studying the cause and effect of
such transfers with a view to as
certaining, among other findings,
where the practices exist in con-
nection Herewith which are not in
the public interest.
The results of such investigation
and study shall be reported to the
President and to Congress within go
days after enactment and shall In
clude such recommendations with
administrative action or legislative
enactment as the Commission may
deem advisable"
The Senate action was taken
without detailed information re-
garding the effect of possible num-
bers of such transfers or as to how
it might hamper the war effort.
Fall Study Ordered.
The action proposed by the Sem
ate would not affect employment in
the War or Navy Departments or
the Maritime Commission but only
such agencies as those covered in
the bill
The action OF the House requires
the Civil Service Commission to
make study covering the entire
Government administration and to
make recommendations which
would prevent Federal agencies
from bidding against each other for
efficient employees,
The conference report, as approved
oy the House. includes An appropria-
tion of $4,000 proposed by the Sen
ate for salaries and expenses of the
National Capital Parks.
1t also approves appropriation of
$4,000, AS proposed by the Senate,
10 enable the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to reimburse the District for
