|Jobless Protection
For Federal Workers
Favored by RamspecI

Chairman Robert Ramspeck o1
the Civil Service Commission to-
day told Congress sit is highly
desirable. as well as equitable
that Federal employees be covered
by unemployment benefits.
Mr.. Ramspeck testified before
a House Ways and Means Sub
committee holding hearings on
legislation to extend unemploy-
ment benefits to Federal workers.
Noting that Congress has al
ready restricted Federal employees
from further accumulating annual
leave for cash purposes, which in
the past served as some jobless
protection for them when they left
the Government, Mr.. RamSpeck
said this makes unemployment
compensation benefits more neces-
Isary than ever.
Federal employees are as sub
ject to the hazards of unemploy-
ment as other workers, particu-
larly since the emergencies of re-
cent years frequently cause sub
stantial but temporary increases
in employees in Government agen-
cies which some time later will
have to be curtailed," the commits
sion chief declared.
The chairman of the subcom-
mittee is Representative Forand,
Democrat, of Rhode Island, who
is sponsoring the bill.
