been that I'VE wanted to fire the
employe or make the necessary
personnel changes but we were
prevented from doing so by the
Civil Service Commission"
POSSIBILITIES-The Nation
al Civil Service League as well as
some of the Federal employe
groups feel that there are some
excellent men available for the
job, even though they might not
be nationally known.
For example. the league recon-
mended James c. Worthy. per-
sonnet director Of Sears-R oebuck.
who has an excellent record in
personnel management matters.
Mr.. Worthy. however. has been
selected for one Of the Assistant
Secretary Of Commerce jobs.
Another one suggested was
James P. Mitchell. vice president
Of one Of New York City'S largest
department stores and expert on
! public and industry personnel
problems.
/ The league is prepared to SUBJ
NIT the names Of other possible
ties II the White House wants
them. Meanwhile. it is reported
that George M. Moore. former
chief counsel Of the House Civil
Service Committee, has tenta-
lively been selected by the White
House for the associate Republic
can post on the CSC. The Demo-
cratic member-who presumably
will be q woman-has not been
chosen.
Observation-Disclosures the
various Republican department
and agency heads are urging the
White House to act fast. So are
key Republican congressional
leaders.
The fact is that Republican Of
ficials can't proceed with their
personnel and reorganization
plans until they know what the
CSC's policies viii be in these
matters. Personnel transfers. re-
assignments and placements are
being held in allegiance until the
appointments In the commission
are made.
For example, Internal Revenue
Commissioner T. Coleman An
drews is impatiently waiting for
the csc situation to be settled
so that he can 60 ahead with his
plans for reorganizing various
functions in his agency.
And Postmaster General sum-
merfiield is holding up various
postal changes until he finds out
what the csc decision will be on
the filling Of new postmaster jobs
and whether another exam will
be authorized so that Republic
cans can compete for these posi-
| tionS.
These uncertainties and delays
are shared by nearly every de-
partment and agency in the
Government. That's why Presi-
dent Eisenhower Is under such
terrific pressure to make the CSC
appointments without further
delay.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-02-23

fact. the league would oppose
strongly any such appointment.
But the group. along with
others. feels that the admins
tration has had since last Mo-
vember to make the selection for
the jobs and should have been
able to do so by now.
The league at the White
Houses request has submitted
the names of several top-notch
people for the csc chairman
ship, but the administration has
turned them down.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton, seeking to appoint a big
name" figure, first offered the
job to former Gov. Driscoll Of
New Jersey who refused it. Then.
it sought to appoint former Re-
publican Civil Service Commits
sioner Arthur S. Flemming as
chairman. But Mr.. Flemming,
who is on leave as president of
Ohio Wesleyan University and
who is now acting defense mo-
bilizer and a member Of the
Presidents Government Re-
organization Committee, ran
into opposition from several
members of Congress who didn't
like the fact that he served as
a csc Commissioner under the
Roosevelt and Truman admins
trationS.
Subsequently. the job was Of
fered to former Senator Dana
her of Connecticut and Lawrence
Appley, president Of the Ameri-
can Management Association and
former president Of Montgomery
Ward in charge of personnel.
Both men turned down the job.
OBSTACLES-There are sew
eral reasons why these men
turned the job down. The first
is that they are making consider
ably more than the $4,000 a
year the position pays.
But one or two Of them might
have accepted save for the fact
that the CSC chairman's job is
at times a thankless one and
filled with headaches. It definite
ly is not a glamorous post. rsI
Department and agency heads
have always found the csc a
convenient scapegoat whenever
Congressional committees or
others have criticized their OPP
erations.

Back From Korea

LONG BEACH, Calf. (FHTNC)
The USS New Jersey returned
here from Korea Friday, October
30th, completing six months of
combat and training duty.
Serving aboard the battleship is
Richard S. butcher, fireman, USN,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Corner Dut-
cher of 104 North Main St, Lon

The New Jersey departed Sat-
urday 31st to return to her home
port of Norfolk, Va, via the Pan
anna Canal. She had arrived in
Yokosuka, Japan on Easter Sun
day, April 5th and began combat
operations on the 18th.
While in the Far East, the bat

The battleship celebrated her
10th anniversary at Inchon.

Quiet Election
Expected For Off
Year Voting Here
Interest On Highway
Bonds Estimated At
$4,000, Per Year

Polls open at $50 Tuesday
morning and close at $50 Tuesday
evening in what is expected to be
a very quiet election day in Mad
ison County. With the exception of
a number of local bond issue pro-
posals, only two office races will
attract any attention. They are the
race between Democrat Russell
McShane and Republican Douglas
Davis in the Fourth Ward, Lon
don; and the six man race for
membership in the London Board
of Education. Three members are
to be elected and the race is being
watched with interest inasmuch as
this marks the first time in a great
number of years that the incum-
bent school board members have
had any opposition. Murray Lohr,
Robert Dillingham; and Mrs. Rob-
ert Day are in the race to attempt
to unseat incumbent board mem
bers P. z. Bacon, Caryl Holton,
and Robert Creath. Creath was re-
Gently appointed to the board to
fill the unexpired term of Henry
Beathard.
Nine proposed amendments to
the Ohio Constitution are up for
consideration and all are expected
to pass with the exception of the
amendment calling for a $500 mil
lion bond issue for state highways.
This latter measure has met with
some opposition from the smaller
counties who claim that such a
measure would cut down appro-
priations for county roads since
the amendment states that all
monies due for the payment of
principal and interest on such
bonds would be paid before distri-
button of county road money is
made. The County Engineers A.
sociation has gone on record as be-
ing opposed to the amendment.
A great many persons have voic-
ed objection to the measure sinp-
ly because they do not want bond
ed Indebtedness on such a propos-
al, especially since the interest on
such an amount would be so great.
II is estimated that the interest
alone on such an amount would
come to about 100000 per
year for which the people of Ohio
would receive nothing.
