The Civil Service Commission
has asked Congress to delay action
on any move to reduce Govern

leave until a more thorough study
can be made Of the subject.
In a letter to the Senate Civil
Service Service Committee, re-
leased for publication last night.
the commission opposed any
direct action now on the two bills
by Senator Douglas. of Illinois, to
reduce annual and sick leave.
The commission hinted strongly
that it had serious misgivings
about reducing leave. 1t declared:
ITO the degree that working
conditions are made less favorable,
the Government will experience
more difficulty in recruiting intel
ligent and efficient employees. The
Government has been brought to
the realization in recent years
that the kind of employees it gets
depends in large part on the re-
wards it offers for service. and
that the public service suffers
substantial handicaps in compet-
ing for the best"
Faced With the Fact"
The commissions letter added:
"An individual who considers en-
tering the Government service is
faced with the fact that there is
a fixed ceiling on the financial
reward he can hope for, no matter
how capable he may be and no
matter how long and diligently
he may serve. and that he will
not have the same freedom of

Northern Democrats
Join Republicans 10
Fight Kerr Gas Bill
BY The Associated Press

A rare combination of Repub-
licans and Northern Democrats
bolstered Senate opposition today
to the Kerr natural gas bill.
Senator Brewster, Republican
of Maine, told a reporter he
believes most Republicans will
vote against the bill because they
think It would raise natural gas
prices for consumers.
The measure would prohibit the
Federal Power Commission from
taking control over the gathering
and production of gas by So
called independent operators.
Led by Senator Douglas, Demo-
crat, of Illinois, Democrats who
answer to the liberal label fought
the measure at every turn.
Kerr Optimistic.
Against this opposition, Senator
Kerr. Democrat. of Oklahoma
maintained his optimism that
the bill will pass when the Senate
gets around to voting on it, prob
ably early next week.
T. The bills hackers claim pledges
of support from 80 Democrats and
Is Republicans. But there were
signs that some of the Republicans
might be ready to back down.
Strategists said the outcome
might be determined by the num-
ber of absentees, limiting that some
Senators may find it convenient
to duck the issue.
Sterilization Predicted.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado told the Senate yesterday
that passage of the bill would
stabilize the natural gas industry
Increase the supply of gas and
thus reduce the price.
He argued that the 1888 Natural
Gas Act was intended to regulate
those who sell in interstate COM
merce, contending that sales by
the independent operator to dis
tributors are not in that category
Senator KEN, Republican, OF
Missouri and Senator Douglas
contend that if there is no Federal
regulation of the independents
gas prices will go up.
