Congressman Asks
Civil Service Head
To Resign Post

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. A. L.
Miller R-Neb) Tuesday called
upon Philip Young to resign as
chairman of the Civil Service
Commission. He said Young is
blocking Eisenhower administra-
ton efforts to place its own men
in key federal jobs.
Miller declared that because of
Young's objections, the commits
sion has classified as appointive
jobs outside civil service protec-
ton fewer than half the positions
requested by the administration.
.'Inasmuch as you have not seen
fit to support the administration
in helping to remove those who
would sabotage the very admins
tration who gave you job, it
would seem that in all fairness
and decency you should submit
your resignation to the President"
Miller said in a letter to Young.
Miller, who is chairman of the
House Interior Committee, made
the letter public.
The Republican congressman
said the administration has asked
that more than 1000 positions be
placed on the commissions Sched-
ule c, which the. agency describes
as Notwithstanding or conf
dental and outside the competi-
tive civil service"
Miller said only about 700 were
allowed. The commission, in a
statement Tuesday, put the total
at ITO and said it had rejected 852
Scheduled recommendations made
by executive agencies.
