ratings will be considered, but will
play a comparatively small part.
All Federal employees will be divided
into two groups-those with good"
or better than good" ratings and
those with less than good" ratings
This latter group will be the first
to be dismissed, regardless Of
seniority, but civil service officials
say the number of these is neg
ligible."
One Point for Year.
Those in the former group will
receive one point credit for each
year in Government service. This
will determine their status. How
ever, those with excellent" ratings
will receive S additional points. For
example. a Federal employe who has
been with the Government three
years will be retained longer than one
who has served only TWO years. How
ever, if an employe with two years
service has an excellent" efficiency
rating his point total will be brought
up to. seven, thereby getting prefer
ence Eer the other employ who has
greater seniority.
However. since few employees at
tain excellent" ratings, seniority
will be the determining factor. En-
ployes with greatest seniority will be
the last to be dimissed from their
jobs
War veterans In the good or
better than good class will con-
tinue to receive top preference re-
gardless Of seniority.
The new system follows closely the
recommendation made by the
United Federal Workers of America
CIO. The UFWA also has proposed
hat rehiring Of dismissed war serv-
ice appointees be conducted on the
same basis As the dismissals.
Ask Seniority Preference.
Under the UFWA proposal. per-
sons with greatest seniority would
be placed on the top of the Civil
Service unemployment register. The
commission has not vet decided
whether to adopt this procedure.
At present. persons dismissed from
Federal agency can get a job in
another bureau. provided that they
get the job within 30 days Other
wise they have to make application
to the commission and take an
examination for the job they are
seeking.
Critics of the system contend that
this has resulted in chaos and dis
elimination since there is wild
scramble for jobs now without any
thought being given to the seniority
rights and efficiency rating of the
applicant

1891 Cut Reported
In As Criminal Cases
At Municipal Court

A 1923 per cent decrease in the
number of cases brought before the
criminal division of Municipal Court
during the last fiscal year was re-
ported today by Chief Judge George
P. Barse.
The actual number of cases tried
was 36,S46, compared to 43,982 cases
during the 1914 fiscal year.
A breakdown of the cases in the
criminal division shows 1923 in
volved infractions OF the District
code, 5.762 were misdemeanors and
were tried in the Federal branch of
court, and 1856 involved traffic
violations. Only misdemeanor cases
are heard in Municipal Court.
Felony cases are tried in District
Court.
There also was drop in the num-
Der of cases tried in the courts civil
division. The percentage reduction
under 1914 was 6.62 and the number
OF cases was oZ ,lSo compared W
66,710.
In explaining the drop in cases,
Judge Barse said People steadily
employed are, on the average, less
likely to violate the criminal laws;
are better able to pay rent, and to
meet their other obligations, and
thus tend to avoid civil and criminal
prosecutions.
The court also speeded up its dis
position of cases. There were only
129 jury trials pending as Of June
30, l945. compared to $50 cases on
July l, 1912, when the present court
setup was put in operation, During

European issues would be discussed
Reports of the clashes came as

Example of Friction.
An informant who attended the
secret sessions of the foreign min
listers of the United States. Russia
Great Britain. France and China
gave this AS an example of the
friction between Mr.. Molotov and
Mr. Bevin.
Mr.. Molotov. obiectine to the
British attitude against Balkan gov
ernments sponsored by Russia, de-
clared that Mr.. Bevin was support
ing an anti-democratic regime in
Greece.
Angered, Mr.. Bevin retorted that
he refused to permit that he be
spoken to in such tone Besides. .
Mr.. Bevin is reported to have said
Il am tired Of ALWAYS being the butt
for accusations 1t is as though I
am always being put in the pris-
oners dock Is it because I used to
be docker?"
Well" Mr.. Molotov was said to
have replied. Il don't know but there
is one thing you and I have in COM
mon anyway. Our nobility is not
very old"
Regarding the repatriatio issue
the Russians were declared wanting
assurance that Poles and residents
of the Russian absorbed Baltic
states be returned. The American
British attitude was that Moscow
cannot claim these people unless
they wish to return.
Russians Bar Commissions.
An authority who attended the
meetings said Mr. Molotov had re-
fused any plan which would give
the western powers the right to take
an active hand in Balkan affairs.
The arms reduction clauses would
mean that ah international COM
would have to be estab-
lished to make sure that the treaty
is carried out. The Russians have
made clear that they have no in
tention of allowing the establish
ment of such commissions for the
treaties or for international control
either Of waterways in Central and
Eastern Europe.
Mr. Molotov was reported to have
objected to drawing Balkan borders
in treaties, asserting that it would
be better TO let the countries work
out frontiers for themselves.
When the Americans and British
declared that borders were one of
the important reasons for writing
treaties, the Russians were said to
have replied that if boundaries were
included in the documents. the big
powers would be actually guaran-
teeing the frontiers and each one
would have to be consulted in case
Of future changes.
Record Of AccOrds Zero.
Meanwhile, the foreign ministers
prepared to close their two weeks
session with the record of important
agreements precisely at zero.
Some delegates still spoke hope
fully of second session of the Big
Five Foreign Ministers in Decem-
ber, but this could be arranged only
if the deputies were able to work out
solutions to the many problems
tossed their way by the Foreign
Ministers.
Secretary Byrnes will broadcast
a report of the London meeting soon
after his return to the United States
by plane this week, an informant in
the American delega ation said.
