Hoss Protests Picture

There was a mild exchange be-

gressional candidate in Arlington
yesterday over injection of schools
into politics.
Glenn Hass, associate super
intendent of Arlington County
schools, complained about the use
of his picture in j. Maynard Ma
grauder's campaign literature.
The picture, together with a num-
ber Of other newspaper pictures.
showed Mr.. Hass and Mr.. Ma
gruder talking to each other after
a hearing on school matters in
Richmond last fall.
Mr.. Magruder. who is seeking
the Democratic nomination to
Congress from nearby Virginia. s

apparently did not object when
another candidate, Edmund D.
Campbell, included pictures of the
county's new Stratford Junior

100000 workers will secure per-
manent promotions as q result
of the new rider.
Congress this year discarded the
various personnel cut riders on
appropriation bills. These have
hampered agencies in past years.
This year, in most cases selective
personnel reductions we're made on
AN individual agency basis. instead
|of the meat-ax approach.
The Post Office, Treasury. JUS
tice and Defense Departments as
well as the independent agencies
and some other units escaped per-
sonnel cuts entirely. Other units
were subjected to the Jensen rider
which allows the filling Of only Is
per cent personnel vacancies until
a 10 per cent personnel cut below
original budget estimates is
achieved. However. since most of
the units already have been cut
10 per cent by Congress, the rider
is rather meaningless.
Generally. most agencies will
wind up with about the same num-
ber of employees next year as they
have had In the past year. With
the exception Of one or two OF
the emergency agencies where
some reductions may be neces-
sary, no disnissals are in prospect.

To Caucus Today
|On How to Vote
Sior Stoff Correspondent

CHICAGO. July 5.-The District
Of Columbia delegation to the Re-
publican convention will caucus
tomorrow afternoon to discuss the
question of how to cast its six
votes when the balloting for Presi-
dent starts.
One member has announced for
Senator Taft, but the delegation
came to Chicago technically un-
instructed. It has generally been
regarded as favorable to Senator
Taft. who supported the victorious
Organization leaders in the local
lprimary.
Another problem which will
confront the delegates will be how
to vote on the controversial pro-
Iposal of the Eisenhower forces to
amend the rules so that contested
delegations. temporarily seated by
the national committee. would not
vote on settlement of the contests

Civil Service LEAGUE
Attacks Tax Bureaus S
Revamping Methods
BY the Assoeieisd Press

The National Civil Service
League said yesterday the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau, ordered re-
organized after it was rocked by
scandals. is being reshuffied in a
manner which must be held
suspect"
The non-partisan league, which
campaigns for use of the employe
merit system in all Government
agencies, attacked the reorgan-
|ization method on two counts:
/. More than half of the bu-
reau's new positions, it said, are
being filled by non-competitive
appointments among present ena-
ployes.
2. Where competitive examina.
tions were given, it said, so few
applied there was no assurance
competent men would be found
for the Jobs.
coA4ACEo w dJSO11, CACNuUANC
rector of the league, wrote Chair
man Robert Ramspeck Of the Civil
Service Commission:
"Open competitive examination
is the only way of effecting bona
f1de reorganization Of the bureau,
and restoring public confidence in
bureau operations" ~
He said the Treasury Depart
ment. Of which the Revenue
Bureau is a part. now has q
double veto" over appointments.
He added: "A policy which permits
this type of procedure must be
held suspect"
The bureau reorganization was
ordered by President Truman and,
