D. {. Officials Map
| Increased Powers
lover Personnel
By Henry A. Muslin

All District government depart
ments will have the same powers
over hiring, firing and promotion
of personnel as Federal agencies
under a new Civil Service agree
ment designed to take effect Thurs
day.
A special Commissioners Com
mittee headed by Budget Officer
Walter L. Fowler is working on the
accord in collaboration with Civil
Service officials. The move is in
line with the Presidential order of
last February handing over certain
personnel functions handled by
Civil Service to the various Govern
ment departments May /.
The agreement will bring the
District up to date in a relationship
with the Civil Service Commission
in existence since 1882. It was
established following an order by
President Hoover requiring all Dis
trict departments to conform tc
Civil Service personnel procedure
although most were exempt unde,
the original Civil Service Act.
Boards to Be Named.
Under the new setup, District de-
partment heads will appoint their
own personnel boards. The boards
will assume work formerly done by
the Civil Service Commission such
as giving job examinations and
making up list of eligibles for pro-
fessional, scientific and technical
work.
The commission will reserve the
right to challenge actions of the
boards which do not conform to
Civil Service standards, Mr.. Fowler
said.
Net effect of the agreement will be
to maintain uniformity in District
| personnel procedures. Formally
bracketed under Civil Service are
the Board of Public Welfare
Juvenile Court and Police, Fire ano
Corrections Departments.
All other departments, however
with combined total Of about 4,50l
permanent and 5000 per diem work
