Hoeerty Reeoined
Job After Wulthom
Company Shutdown
BY the Associeted Press

A Senate investigating group
wants to know more about the
case of a Reconstruction Finance
Corp. offlcial who quit the agency
to head the Waltham Watch Co.
which owed it money. and then
was rehired after the firm shut
down.
RFC officials said yesterday that
John J. Hagerty had returned to
the Government lending agency as
a special assistant to the Board OF
Directors. His salary is $10.330 a
year. This is approximately his
former RFC salary. Waltham was
reported paying him $4,000.
Mr.. Hagerty quit as head of the
RIGS Boston agency early last
year to become president of Wal
than. A Senate banking subcom-
mittee found that the employ
ment shift was made after the
agency had agreed to make a
$6 million loan to Waltham on Mr..
Hagerty's recommendation.
Chairman Fulbright said today
the subcommittee would be inter-
ested in hearing the agency's rea-
sons for rehiring Mr.. Hagerty.
THE rehiring OF Mr.. Hagerty
calls to mind the fact that a bill
passed last year by the Senate
and inspired to a great extent by
the employment Of Hagerty by the
Waltham company-has not been
passed by the House"

Gen. Young Critieizes
.Mulii-Headed Nature
OF D. {. Government

The "Sprswling. fractionalised.
multi-headed" nature Of the Dis
trict government was cenSured
last night by Brig. Gen. Gordon
r. Young, Engineer Commissioner.
Addressing the Cathedral
Heights Cleveland Park Citizens
Association. Gen. Young made it
clear he has no opinion whatSo.
ever" on the controversial Kef.
auver home-rule bill.
He described the commission
form of government as one Of
three widely used by cities in this
country. All three have peculiar
advantages and disadvantages. he
said. But in the District. there
are number Of autonomous
agencies concerned with District
affairs.
The Commissioner said that.
even in cases where these agencies
depend on the commissioners for
funds. the Commissioner have no
real authority over decisions made
by these groups.
He objected to the loss Of time
and energy involved in such q
system.
Among the agencies cited by
Gen. Young as autonomous or
nearly so are the Board OF Edu.
cation. the Board of Public Well
fare. the Recreation Department
and the library.
He said he hoped citizens
groups, regardless Of their feelings
about home rule, would interest
themselves in remedying this
great clumsiness

dentally, the Tenhessean was nom
committal regarding his feelings
on the matter. He said he want
ed to see what the pending leave
study would show before making
up his mind.
2. Chairman McKellar of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee declared his group was seri-
ously considering approving the
same kind Of amendment to the
1851 omnibus money bill as was
adopted by the House Appropri-
ations Committee. The House
groups amendment would bar any
further accumulation of annual
leave by Federal employees. 1t
would force Government workers
to use up their 26 days annual
leave by December 81. although
the previously accumulated leave
would not be touched.
Should Senator McKellar's group
adopt a similar amendment. the
chances would be better than even
that Congress would adopt the
ban on further accumulation of
leave. The House parliamentarian
has ruled such a rider is germane
to an appropriations bill. and,
therefore. 1t cannot be ruled out
on q point of order.
Several House members will
move to defeat the amendment on
the argument that such a move
deserves further study by the
House Civil Service Committee,
but they will need q majority vote
to kill the amendment. And this
will be q tough thing to accom-
plish.
In view of yesterdays events
on Capitol Hill, this would appear
to be the situation: Nothing will
be done this year by Congress to
reduce annual and sick leave ben
efits, but it is more than likely
that Federal workers will be re-
quired to use up all of their 26
days vacation time this year.

The Commissioners have de.
cided to ask Congress to authorize
funds for a fair employment of.
ficer for the District.
On recommendation of the Dis
trict Personnel Board. the city
heads yesterday also voted to ask
"such stenographic and clerica.
assistance as may be necessary te
assure the installation of an ef.
fective program in the District"
In q report made last Novem.
Der by the board. a number OF
principles were recommended tt
the commissioners, including the
following:
That each District department
head would be responsible per-
sonally for an effective program
to assure full observation of fan
employment policies in all per-
sonnel actions within his agency.
Solely on Merit.
That all personnel actions rec
commended would be based solely
on merit and fitness and nc
discrimination will be counten-
anced because of race. color, reli-
sion or national origin"
That the findings and action OF
the fair employment officer would
be subject to direct appeal to the
personnel board. The boards de-
cision would be subject to final ap-
peal to the Commissioners.
The term personnel action
would include failure to act. Per-
sons failing appointment who al
legged a grievance relating to dis
elimination would be entitled to
remedies provided.
The Personnel Board undertook
a fair employment practices plan
similar to the procedure used in
Federal agencies last fall for adop-
tion by the city government.

The Commissioners directed the
board to study President Truman S
executive order of July. 194S, to
Government departments and to
draw up a similar plan for the
District.
The city heads had been follow
ing the anti-discrimination order
despite the fact that it did not
apply to the city government, they
said.
In June. 1949, when appearing
before the Senate District Com
mittee, Commissioner John Rus
sell Young was asked if the Dis
trict was following the order. He
said it was.
At that time, he asked Victor
A. Howard. secretary of the Per-
sonnel Board. to review the order.
Mr.. Howard reported, after study,
the order did not apply to the
city government. but the Commits
sioners decided to apply it anyway
Mr.. Howard said the District
has received no complaints of
discrimination.
