Glover Park Group Backs
Sales Tax by Slim Marqin

The Glover Park Citizens Associa-
ton last night approved the pro-
posed District sales tax by a narrow
margin.
Charles S. Iversen claimed the
sales tax would be the most suitable
way of providing immediate relief
for financially harassed city govern
ment. An especially worthy feature
Of the tax, he felt, would be its
applicability to Federal workers liv-
ing outside the District who would
be made to bear some of the city's
tax burden.
Edmund E. Pendleton opposed the
sales tax because he considers it too
costly and difficult to administer.
He believes this factor was instru.
mental in bringing about repeal Of
the tax in nine of the q States
which had adopted it. A payroll
withholding tax, similar to one used
in Philadelphia, was his suggestion
for solving the tax problem.
The association also voted to Joint
the Community Film Council, a

NFFE Employees
ASK Revision Of Act

Prompt and %far-reaching revision
oi the classification act as basic

in the Federal service was urged
upon Congress today by the Execu-
Tive Council OF National Federation

at the organizations National Head
quarters here.
uponConercss today by the Executive
Improvement and modernization
OF the Classification Act of 1928, as
amended, is the vital key to increas
ing the effectiveness OF personnel
administration i'll the Federal serv-
ice" the Executive Council de
clared.
The act should be thoroughly
overhaulcd. simplified. and provide
lar greater opportunities Tor ad-
vancement by qualified employees.
The number OF service categories
should be reduced and a single sal
AIRY schedule set up to which all
employees can be definitely Tllocated.
There should be a sufficient range
within grades so that employees may
have an opportunity to move forward
upon demonstration fitness. And II
that connection also the cfficicnc,
rating system should be revised re
alistically SO that it car function
with fullest effectiveness for both
the Government and employee.
The revised classification act.
moreover, should include provisions
Tor a Uniform and ev%en-handed pat
tern Of operation and administra
ton OF wage boards for the fixing
OF compensation OF employees IN
those categories.
Required also III the interest OF
sound administration is a more e.
i~ective and Uniform classification
appeals procedure, applicable both
in the department and field services.
1T must be recognized, further,
that neither the public nor the Gov
eminent is well served by compen-
sation policy which fails to establish
rates OF pay sufficient to attract and
hold the most competent men and
women.
That is more than ever important
now, when the Federal Service must
carry on a wide variety OF functions
so essential to the security OF the
nation.
The classification act has peer
the foundation stone upon when
sound and iorward-looking system
OF Federal personnel administrators
has been built.
But it requires the simpliiication
%uniiication. and greater opportuni
ties for advancement which are TN
goals of all of those who are seek
ing still greater Federal efficiency
Congress should act quickly a
this session on legislation to achies'
this end. 1t is completely III tn
