Navy Offers Pay Hike
To Bureau Heads for
Trimming Personnel
Civil Service Employees
Now Available Called
Incompetent by Knox
Br ne Associated Press.

The NAVY is irving something new
in an attempt to increase the efIl-
cheney of its civilian empioyeS-pa
increases for bureau heads who do
their work with the smallest num-
ber Of employees
This was disclosed today when The
Senate Appropriations Committee
made public testimony by Secretary
OF the Navy Knox in which he
complained that the supply of civil
service workers was getting so low
that much of the help the Navy GOT
through the Civil Service Commis-
sion was of thoroughly lnCOmpe-
tent type"
Mr.. Knox said he had found that
there appeared to be a tendency
under Civil Service to measure a
mans salary value by the number
Of people he had working for him
To correct this. he said the Navy
Department had promised raises
TO the men who were able to do
their work with the smallest num-
Der OF personnel
Competent Workers Scarce.
"One of the embarrassments. MI.
Knox testified, has been the in
ability even where there was a
righteous requirement for addi-
tional Civil Service workers, to get
competent ones.
The demands for Civil Service
employees had become so great and
the supply so steadily deteriorating
as to quality, that. all too often
when We got additional help from
the Civil Service Commission. it
was Of a thoroughly incompetent
type. That put another pressure
upon us, pressure TO find other
ways Of getting the work done
Plan to Use Waves.
so the result is that. at the mo-
ment, while we are authorized 10
have 10000 employees. we have some
where between 1900 and $4,000, and
we have recently secured through
the Naval Affairs Committees Of the
Senate and the House an under
standing that where we need addi-
tional help and cannot get com
petent Civil Service help to fill the
positions that must be filled. that
under these circumstances we can
resort to the use of WAVES, the
Women's reserve.
We find on experience that the
character and quality of the wom-
ems reserve IS very high: that their
average ability is very much above
The average ability of the type Of
those Civil Service employees We have
been getting in the last six or eight
months"

ton man when barred from entering
the plant. The protection man then
was attacked by other employees and
