Comments Are Asked
From U. S. Agency
Heads and Workers

The Civil Service Commission
today submitted a sweeping pro-
gram to improve the system Of
promotion of Federal employees
throughout the country.
Chairman Harry B. Mitchell Of
the commission laid before agency
officials and representatives Of
Federal workers organizations a
six-point proposal to accomplish
the purpose. 1t is designed to

gram recently announced as part
OF the commissions reorganiza-
ton plan.
Comments were requested from
both Federal agency officials and
spokesmen for the workers them
selves.
When these comments have
been considered" Mr.. Mitchell
announced, in a formal state
ment." the commission will set
forth a promotion program in tho
form of standards and regula-
tlons, which will be published in
the Federal Personnel Manual"
Points of Program.
The points in the proposed pro-
gram are as follows:
/. The plan should be stated in
writing and made known to all
employees.
2. In filling vacancies, admins
traitors should consider the rela-
tive qualifications of employees
within the agency and of persons
outside the agency, with the OBJ
jective of selecting the best quail.
fled and available candidates on
the basis of merit.
3. Promising employees should be
offered advice and assistance in
preparing for higher grade posi-
tions and be afforded an oppor-
tunity for planned career devel-
opment. 49,.
4. Qualification requirements for
promotion should be not less than
the minimum standards estab-
lished by the Civil Service Com
mission. Any additional require.
ments should be realistic In terms
OF the kind and quality of work
to be performed.
5. The method of. evaluating
employees qualifications should be
applied uniformly within the re-
crulting area to all employees who
meet the minimum requirements
for promotion and are interested.
6. The plan should include an
orderly system for release of en-
ployes selected for promotion.
Standards for Service.
Chairman Mitchell emphasized
that the establishment and main
tenance of an adequate promotion
system Is vital to a well-rounded
career service in the Federal Gov
ernment."
Some agencies, it was pointed
out in Mr.. Mitchell's statement,
nave already developed excellent
programs for Systematically con-
sidering all qualified employees
when vacancies occur.
In other agencies" he added.
such programs have been given
little attention. with the result
that advancement has often been
