proved conclusively that the rider
expedient does not achieve the ends
desired by Congress because the
meat axe approach which is in
evitable is no substitute for legisla-
ton which deals with specific situa-
tons specifically.
when Congress seeks to admin
lister by means of an acrossthe-
board rider-and when some admin
istrators give Congress an apparent
reason for so doing-the whole cause
of efficient government suffers.
"a rider which forbids the filling
of a fiat percentage of vacancies,
without regard to agency, or duties,
or turnover of personnel, obviously
is unsound-and has been proved so
in actual practice.
"a rider which makes it increas-
ingly difficult for the Federal Gov
eminent to give permanent appoint
ments and promotions to qualified
people is not in the interest of eff
fective or economical administration
and has been so demonstrated re-
peatedly
A rider which radically changes
condition of employment estab-
lished by Congress itself upon the
recommendation of the proper com
mittee following extensive hearings,
is an act of bad faith which under
mines morale.
''But perhaps the most potent case
against the personnel rider is simply
that it does not mean a saving for
the taxpayer; rather, it is costly in
money, in inefficiency, in mounting
confusion of administration.
"The rider is an attempt to legis-
late by short cut and administer by
remote control.
"On the record, it just does not
work"

Federal Employees
Are Against Riders
National Federation Protests
Attaching Personnel "Riders"
To Appropriation Bills.

The Executive Council of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
ployees today urged an end to the
growing practice of attaching rid
ers" dealing with personnel admin
istration to appropriation bills.
Among those cited were the Jensen,
Written, and Thomas riders.
The N.F.F.E. Council declared:
Legislation by rider is bad from
every standpoint.
''In the first place, It represents an
abrogation Of the constitutional pre-
negatives on the part of both Con-
gress and the Executive Branch.
ut is an attempt on the part of
Congress, on the one hand, to enter
the administrative field At the
same time, Congress has frequently
been moved to take the arbitrary ac-
ton implicit in the riders as a result
of inept administration.
"But the rider method is mega
ton of the orderly processes Of leg
islation. The properly constituted
committees of the Congress are by
passed. Thus, committees establish
ed for the purpose of considering
personnel matters, which hear all
qualified witnesses and have the
benefit of technically trained coun-
sci, are literally ignored when rid
er is summarily tackled onto an APP
preparation bill and without benefit
of hearings.

Actually a Spanish theme for
New Mexico isn't out of the or
dinary since it's about as Span
iSh a State as any State can
get. However, they kept up
their reputation last week when
the group threw a fiesta party
at the USO. Senators Chavez
and Anderson were to be on
hand, Spanish songs were to be
sung and everybody was well
come. At the time things were
looked in upon. every one was
eating beans. Guess the Span
ish music came after the beans
or maybe during the beans. At
any rate. every one seemed to be
enjoying the beans and un-
doubtedly it was a successful
party.

a gift of the society. At just
about the time every one thought
the table decorations of pine
boughs and Sagebrush were to
be eaten. dinner was served and
after $50 dancing took over.
