Civil Service Report
BY DON S. WARREN.

CHdIee bIldG personal patrOn'
| age" still is prevalent Throughout
civil service" ranks was made today
by Senator Ellender, Democrat. ol
Louisiana in report to the Senate
on an extended investigation of re.
ported favoritism in connection witt
Government appointments and pro-
motions.
| Submitting lengthy report or
the work of the special committee
which he headed, Senator Ellendel
recommended that Congress con-
slider drafting legislation designed
to return the civil service to a
peacetime basis and to merit system
principles.
The Louisiana Senator also rec
commended that Congress give con-
sideration to the development OF
other legislation designed to
strengthen and protect the merit
system
Many Papers Not Graded.
| During the war years, appoint
ments to high positions, unmerited
promotions, transfers to higher
grades and excellent efficiency rat
ings have been increasingly award
ed to personal followers" the report
stated.
THE Civil Service Commission
has often been just a means fol
examining and certifying the friends
referred by the agency head to the
commission for examinations. Many
highly qualified people who have
taken examinations have beer
passed over, to find later that their
papers had not been graded by the
commission.
Although the efficiency rating
appeal boards have constituted a
vast improvement in personnel
practice, much remains to be done
before the system becomed truly
effective.
''The boards are still frequently
dominated by the agency head. The
employe who appeals his rating
often has slight chance of winning
and even if he does he and the wit
nesses who testified for him are
likely to be subjected to further dis
elimination within the agency.
The civil service regulations for
reductions in force have placed so
much weight upon efficiency ratings,
as compared with seniority in serv-
ice, that it is possible for the en-
ploye of five years service to dis
place the employe of 20 years service
Employe Complaints Cited.
Complaints from employees in the
past year have indicated that agen-
cy heads are already adjusting eff
cheney ratings to provide for future
reductions.
The Ellender report added that
the special committee recognized
the need for relaxation of peace
time regulations and the suspension
of activities not essential to the pro-
motion of the war effort.
However, the report continued
since the peak of civilian employ
ment in the Government had beer
reached" consideration should be
given to legislation to restore merit
system principles. 1t specified 9
long list of civil service rules ano
operations which the committee felt
should be studied in connection with
proposed legislation.
The report declared that corrective
measures initiated by executive
orders should be considered with a
view toward perpetuating desirable
features of them through permanent

The Russians demand an invita-
ton to this conference for the Pol
ish government established in Lub-
lin under Soviet auspices. The Unit
ed States and Great Britain have re-
jected that demand. Washington
and London do not regard the pres
ent Lublin government to be truly
