CIVIL SERVI(E
 BILL HEADED FOR
 DEBATE ON FLOOR
(By Associated Press)

The House Civil Service Commis- sion has approved a bill which is likely to cause quite a controversy when it gets on the House floor The bill would give the head of a government Department absolute authority to fire anyone in his De- partment in the interest of national security.
 Most of the opposition to the bill probably will come from those who think such a bill would threaten the personal security of those who might have built up many years ot seniority in the operation of the Civil Service system. The packers of the bill contend, however, that some way must be found to cut through the red tape that now makes it hard to get rid of people who are undesirable from the stand point of national security.
