LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6.-The
Governments personnel officers
are accusing the Civil Service
Commission of ignoring them on
civil service personnel policies
and are threatening to set up a
new organization to protect their
interests.
The antagoniSm toward the
csc is plainly evident among
Federal personnel officers at
tending the 1853 annual Public
Personnel Conference here of
the Civil Service Assembly of the
United States and Canada.
The personnel officials accuse
the commission of failing to con-
suit with them or ask their ad-
vice before issuing important de-
cisions affecting Federal en-
ployes and the Government per-
Sonnel system.
They cite a number of exam
pies. including the recent
changes in reductions-in-for
and humping rights ordered by
the csc. The officials complain
they were never consulted and
asked their opinions and that
the first time they learned of
the new regulations was when
they read about them in the
newspapers.
The personnel officials also are
