0usted Civil Service
Worker Wins Hearing
From Supreme Court

The Supreme Court agreed today
TO consider whether Q classified
civil service employe, dismissed
without compliance with procedural
requirements and whose position
has not been officially 1lled, can re-
cover salary In the Court Of Claims
after he has been dismissed.
The case also involves the question
OF whether the law requires that the
civil servant, whose dismissal Is
sought because of Unsatisfactory
services" on his efficiency rating, be
furnished with specific charges or be
given q chance to answer, or both.
Ivan M. Elchibegoif. former as
sistart economist In the old Board
OF Economic Warfare, successfully
sued in the Court of Claims to re-
cover back salary Of 81 ,l27 20 for the
period from May 9. IS4s, to August
~. Io4s.
The Government. through former
Solicitor General ]. Howard Ne
Grath, now newly elected Democratic
Senator from Rhode Island, asked
the Supreme Court to grant review.
The Government contends that
the Court Of Claims was wronx IN
saying that the law was not fol-
lowed In discharging Mr.. Elchibeg-
Oh. It also claims that the lower
court lacked power to render q
money judgment in his favor, until
Mr.. Elchihegu6 atteSted In court his
right to hold ofiice. ~
On April II, 104S, the acting per-
sonnel chief Of the Board Of Eco
nomic Welfare notified Mr.. Elchi-
hegon that bis employment would
end May !, 1913, due to unsatisfac-
tory service. Because Of accaImu-
lated leave, however, he was to- re-
main on the payroll until May Of
that year. He protested, saying no
written specific charges had been
placed against him. This was not
done until April 80, 1e4s. 81
| He sued in the Court OF Claims
for salary that would have been
paid him had he not been dig
charged. The Court Of Claims held
that the law had not been followed
and that his position had not been
filled. It ruled that persons dis
missed for unsatisfactory services
IN the Federal Government should
be furnished with more specific
charges and be allowed to answer
them In writing.

The Federal Security Agency plans
TO train 600 handicapped Washing
ton civilians for jobs during the year
beginning next July /, according to
q summary made public yesterday
by Federal Security Administrator
Watson B. Miller.
The Capital has $4,000 persons
eligible for the rehabilitation service,
Mr.. Miller reported. Next years

900. he said.
fSA said by far the greatest num-
Der Of persons who have been re-
|habilitated had orthopedic disabili-
ties, such as the loss Of q limb. Other
cases included pulmonary tubercu-
losis, blindness, deafness and speech
impediments OF the total, about
IS per cent have been men and as
per cent women.
Appeals to Governors.
Maryland, with IA 500 persons eii-
gible. Will contribute $50 900 for
|rehab bilitation Of $500 in the next
fiscal year, the summary shows. vir-
|ginia, with 81 500 eligible, will make
$276 900 available for training to !. 800,
Mr.. Miller asked State Governors
to cooperate in speeding the ns-
tional rehabilitation program So
that 10000 may be restored to
gatnful employment in the coming
fiscal year. This would represent q
800 per cent increase over last year,
he said.
The Federal Government advances
about 10 per cent Of the cost of the
program and the States, District
and Territories provide the balance
State expenditures of $l2, ,0OO, 900
for the fiscal year 1947-8 win be
needed, Mr.. Miller said, compared
with $6, 6,750, 900 in State funds now
available for this fiscal year. Be-
cause Legislatures meet in A States
in the next few months, the admin-
istrator considers it is timely for
the Governors to study the prob
lem.
Called Sound Economy.
Speeding up the program will be
sound economy, Mr.. Miller believes,
because absorption Of the handi-
capped will contribute materially to
the wealth OF the Nation. The
36 900 rehabilitated In the last fiscal
year increased their earning power
from $1l,600, 900 to $56, 400 900 be-
cause Of the program, Mr.. Miller
said.
There are 1000 900 still waiting
for rehabilitation and their pros
pective earning capacity is about
two billion annually, he added.

highly dangerous to the commun-
