visors has been unduly empha-
sized. This limits the number of
candidates with high supervisory
potentiality and deters men of
ability from remaining in the
organization.
"Our study reveals that super
Ivisors are often selected without
full and adequate consideration,
due to the fact that there is no
reservoir of potential supervisors
to choose from when a vacancy
occurs. The result is that all too
often there is a lag in production
and efficiency"
The Purvis group also found "a
strong tendency to fill supervisory
vacancies from within the par
ticular section in which the
vacancies occur"
Reorganization lines are seldom
crossed" it added. The area OF
competition is thus substantially
narrowed; this. in turn, narroWs
the field of applicants in which
selection can be made.
The committee concluded
Finally, we have found that
undue emphasis has been placed
on the personal knowledge of q
candidate by the selectors to the
! detriment of those less well
known. There is lack of meth
ods throughout the Government
to determine the ability of can
didates not personally known"

The accountant. now an employe
of the Office of Price Sterilization

to enter the payment on his books.
Mr.. Ewing said he advised his
friend to put the sum down as a
personal withdrawal, since it was
his understanding that Mr.. Bridg-
man was paying off his own debt.
Mr.. Bridgman, however, entered
the sum as attorneys fees" the
jury was told.
Mr.. Bridgman had testified
that he never owed CoWart more

until last September. He said that
while they had an accounting bus

times borrowed small sums from
each other.
Statement to Investigators.
| Cowart testified that after he
was suspended he talked to Mr..
Bridgman in Texas because he

retract the previous statement
that he had paid Cowart a $1,374

that the money was a return on

ID. T.. Dealers Protest
Liquor Business at
Military Installations

The Commissioners were asked
yesterday to do something about
the sale of liquor or military in
stallatiohs of the District.
The Washington Retail Liquor
Dealers Association called the
Commissioners attention to the
fact that these installations pay
no sales or District tax and do not
confine their sales to military per-
sonnel only.
In addition to paying no taxes,
they are able to sell liquor below
the prices District retailers have
to pay. This not only affects the
revenues of the District but also
the economic well-being of
licensed wholesalers and retailers
of alcoholic beverages here, the
association said.
Business of Millions.
These service bootleggers," the
association told the Commits
sioners, are not official instru-
mentalities of the Federal Gov
ernment and circumvent both the
Federal and District laws. They
pay no license fees, gallonage
taxes, sales taxes and are SUBJ

They have developed businesses
that do a volume of many millions
of dollars year. Many civilians

Senate Group Puts
Relief Secrecy Issue
IUp 10 Commissioners

The Senate District Committee
would have the city Commission
ers, instead of Congress, decide if
District relief lists should be secret
or open.
Such a provision was written
into a bill for a new public as
sistance law for the District. This
was approved late yesterday by the
committee and sent to the Senate
for action.
Camalier May Decide.
If the Senate committee plan or
the public assistance law prevails
the issue over relief list secrecy
may be settled by Renah F. Cam
alier. the new Commissioner-desig-
nate, now headed for quick Senate
confirmation.
The Commissioners now are
split over the issue. Commissioner
F. Joseph Donohue wants to con-
tinue secrecy. Commissioner John
Russell Young and Engineer Com
missioner Bernard L. Robinson
want publicity, under certain re-
straints. Mr.. Young will retire by
the end of next month, his place
to be taken by Mr.. Camalier.

technical ability of supervisory
candidates is stressed to the detri-

ability to get along with people
An official report of the Federal
Personnel Council (the official ad-

Commission) had this to say:
"The practice of promoting the
best workers to supervisory posi-
tions has proved disastrous in
many instances. The experience
of both private business and gov
ernmental organizations has dem
onstrated that technical skill in
many supervisory positions is less
important than the ability to lead
