Workers Must Have
Status
To Be 'Outstundino'

The Civil Service Commission
today notified the Governments
agencies that under the new per-
formance rating system, employees
may be graded as Outstanding
only if they have a record of
Superlative accomplishments.
"An outstanding rating under
this new act is q greater honor
than some honor awards, cash
awards, or pay increases for su-
perior accomplishment which an
agency may give an employe," the
commission declared.
Commission officials said this
means that less than per cent OF
Federal employees will be entitled
to an Outstanding" rating. It is
expected that most Of them will
receive the regular satisfactory
rating, and q relatively few an
unsatisfactory" grade.
Congress abolished the old ef-
f1ciency rating system last year
and substituted a performance
rating program. The new grades
will be issued to employees within
the next few weeks.

FuN-ScaIe Inquiry
In Arlington Urged
BY 7 Board Members

A full-scale investigation of
Arlington law-enforcement Off
cials by Gov. Battle is warranted
by the report of a police investi-
eating committee, according to
two independent members of the
County Board.
The statement is part of the 12-
page summary and conclusions by
Mrs. Florence Cannon, board
chairman, and Robert w. Cox.
Democrat Alfred E. Frisbie re-
fused to approve the statement,
it was learned.
The two other board members,
Daniel A. Dugan, Independent,
former chairman, and F. Freeland
Chew, a Democrat, dissociated
themselves from the report.
Senators Disclosures Cited.
The two-member report cited
the work of the Senate Kefauve1
Committee in demonstrating that
"commercialized gambling can
exist only with official acquies-
cence."
The police investigation was set
up to look into the possibility that
some loopholes in law and proceed
ures might exist in the Police De-
partment. the two members said
"It is our belief" they asserted,
"that the investigation has in
dicated weaknesses of our police
force in personnel, training, abil-
ity, and procedures, and that these
contribute to the existence of COM
mercialized gambling in Arlington
County. The fact that it does exist
is widely understood.
Conclusions Reached.
In the summary of the 900
pages of the investigating COM
nittee's testimony, Mrs. Cannon
and Mr.. Cox said they concluded:
There are factions and cliques
among members of the depart
ment.
Low pay has prevented recruit
ment of the type of personnel
needed.
The Commonwealth's attorney
Oenman T. >Rucker) operates
with the members of the force
in such a manner as to raise con-
siderable question in the minds
of individual officers as to whom
they should consider to be their
responsible superior-the chief OF
police, county manager and Coun-
ty Board, or the commonwealth
attorney.
