New York Bus Drivers
End Strike on Is Lines

NEW YORK, Aug. IL (P.-
Striking bus drivers returned to
work today on Is lines that norm
ally carry $4,000 passengers a
day.
James O'Shea, shop steward of
Local 100, CLIO Transport Workers
Union, said the men returned
pending further negotiations with
the company on our grievances. "
The strike began Thursday and
by this morning involved nearly
500 drivers. Michael J. Quill, TWU
international president, called it
wildcat strike and joined officials
of the Surface Transportation Co.
In calling for return to work.
Strikers were protesting what
they called poor maintenance of
their buses. They also demanded
pay for time lost during the strike.
The company fatty refused to
make such payment but Mr..
O'Shea said after the back-to-
work decision was reached: "A
third party will probably arbitrate
that ISSUE"

were entitled to an outstanding
rating.
The Senate groups newly re-
ported bill still would retain the
right of Government employees to
an appeal from unsatisfactory"
ratings to an impartial appeal
board.
But committee members as well
as civil service officials feel that it
would cut the number of appeals
cases by IS per cent by barring
an appeal from a satisfactory"
rating.
Civil service officials say that
under the present efficiency rating
system-"excellent," very good"
good, flair" and unsatisfactory"
about IS per cent of employe ap-
peals are from very good" and
good" ratings.
They feel that a lot of time and
trouble would be avoided if only
an appeal on an unsatisfactory
rating is allowed. Also, they feel
that an outstanding" category
should be used in place Of the sex
cellent" rating, since it would
make it more difficult for agencies
to rate employees as such.
The Senate committee set up
very rigid standards in it's bill by
which an employe can be graded
outstanding"
The committee feels that, for
the vast majority of Federal en-
ployes. their work should be
graded either satisfactory" or
unsatisfactory" If their work is
satisfactory, they are retained on
the job and are eligible for promo
tions. If their work is unSatis-
factory, they should be dismissed.
After all, that's the basic pur-
pose of having efficiency ratings"
one Senator said. Distinctions
between excellent. very good and
good may flatter an employees ego,
but it causes more trouble than
its worth"
The House already has approved
legislation for overhauling the
Governments efficiency rating
system, but it provides for new
ratings Of excellent" "satisfac-
tory" and unsatisfactory"
There's good chance, however,
that the House will agree to the
Senate committees amendments

Truman Signs Order to Retain
Hossett as Secretary, Past 20
Granted Exemption
From Civil Service
Retirement Age

William D. Hassett, who has
proved that the pen is mighty in
peace or war, yesterday received
greetings" in a Presidential Or
der that will keep him indefinitely
on active duty.
It isn't that the veteran White
House secretary has been drafted
for service of the kind he gave
President Roosevelt for 10 years
and to President Truman since
April, 1945.
Even in cold type 1t can't be
said he has been frozen" In a
job that has brought him 'enown
for scholarship and a kindly court
illness in conversation, writing and
demeanor.
1t is that Mr.. Hassett-"Bill"
to his associates and friends. and
Bishop" to some at the White
Housewife be 10 years old on
August %.
And President Truman yester-
day moved to strike out the word
old" He signed an executive
order exempting Mr.. Hassett from
the civil service requirement that
Government employees must retire
at that age.
There was no special ceremony.
Mr.. Hassett has confessed to q
dread of ceremony since the day
in February. 1914, that he was
ushered in to the presence Of
President Roosevelt and the White
House staff and told he was to
be court-martialed for swearing.
The swearing" turned out to
be the presentation Of a commits
sion appointing him to be one OF
the top secretaries of the Presi-
dent. He scanned the document
suspiciously and President Roose-
welt quipped: IF you read that
Bill, you'll be the first person ever
receiving one who did"
Then Secretary Hassett, 9
bachelor. was surrounded ano
soundly kissed by the distaff side
Of the executive office.
Under far different and tragic
circumstances Mr.. Hassett was In
the Warm Springs cottage room

in April, 1945. when President
Roosevelt was fatally stricken. In
accordance with traditional pro-
cedure whereby presidential sig
natures are not blotted. he had
arranged letters and documents
to dry out around the room. He
recalled that President Roosevelt
referred to it as Bill hanging out
the washing"
A Vermont native who was a
newspaper man In Washington
and London since 1909, Mr.. Has
set went to the White House in
1885, after two years with the
National Recovery Administration
and the National Emergency
Council.
His first duties were in helping
Stephen T. Early, Presidential
Press Secretary. His ability and
charm in correspondence and his
personal traits brought him into
close contact with President
Roosevelt and q deep friendship
developed.
On the death of Marvin H. Nc
Intyre, President Roosevelt pro.
NOTED Mr.. Hassett to secretary
One of President Truman's first
acts in the White House was tc
make sure that Mr.. Hassett woulc
remain as a secretary.

National Federation
of Federal Employees has pur-
chased the property at 1929 G

national headquarters.
The NFFE, which a member
ship over more than 100000 Gov
eminent employees, presently has
its headquarters at the Labor
Building 10 Independence avenue

NFFE officials say their new
headquarters will be roomier and
closer to such key Federal build
ings such as the White House and
the Executive Office Building.
The union expects to occupy the
three-story building early in &C.

HATCH ACT-Congress has put
its final approval on the bill
amending the penalty provision
section of the Hatch Act and sent
it to the White House. President
Humans signature is considered
certain.
The present penalty for viola
ton of the Hatch Act, which
prohibits political activities by
Federal employees. is dismissal
from the Government service.
AS finally approved by the
House and Senate, the new legis-
lation would permit the Civil
Service Commission to impose a
lesser penalty if the case involved
a minor OF unwilling violation
Of the Hatch Act. However, the
penalty would have to be at least
a 80 days suspension.
