build up the career service by
providing adequate incentives
and rewards to career employees,
such as opportunities for ad-
vancement and security of ten
ure, but we also believe that
such benefits should be limited
to those who have earned them
by meeting civil service stand

The commission chief said the
commission is committed to a
policy of strengthening the career
service by clearly distinguish
ing civil service jobs from those
of the political variety. which
are being removed to political
Schedule c or excepted Schedule
A. This will strengthen the ca
reer concept and protect those
under civil service from any po-
litical raids in the future, he
declared.
"A return to the Spoils system
today is unthinkable and should
be guarded against at every
turn MI. Young declared.
The spoils system originally
caused the passage of the Civil
Service Act, and almost every
year the coverage of the civil
service system has been expand
ed. But if we should reach a
point where a newly elected ad-
ministration could not control
the top policy-making jobs, we
would begin to have dictator
ship, because it would become
impossible for the will of the
people to be reflected in our

Mr.. Young said creation of
the Schedule C political top

ward-looking and constructive
step in strengthening the career

Contempt Hearing
Faces BaItimorean
Seeking City Probe
ey the Assoeio,ed Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 30.-Hy-
man Pressman. who gave the
grand jury four brief cases full
of reasons he thinks it should in
vestigate the city administra-
ton, must now show why he
should not be held in contempt
of court.
Mr.. Pressman inspired the re-
cent grand jury investigation of
the city'S off-street parking
program which resulted in
criminal charges against 10 per-
sons, including two city officials.
Charge Rights Prejudiced.
Yesterday two of the defend
ants, Dominic Piracci and Pi-
racci Contracting Co., which he
heads, instituted contempt pro-
ceedings against Mr.. PreSSman.
They contended public state
ments made by the lawyer since
the grand jury presentments
prejudiced their rights to fair
trial.
Chief Judge w. Conwell Smith
and Judges James K. Cullen and
Joseph r. Carter of the Balti-
more Supreme Bench issued an
order giving Mr.. Pressman until
next Thursday to show cause
why he should not be cited, for
contempt.
Stays Nearly Three Hours.
The order came only a few
hours before Mr.. PreSSman went
before the grand jury. He en-
tered the chambers with four
bulging brief cases and stayed
nearly three hours.
Among matters complained Of
were Mr.. Pressman'S petition to
the Board of Estimates asking
$4,000 for a full-Scale inquiry
into the administration; his let
ter to Mayor D'AleSandro de-
manding such a probe. and his
direct appeal to the grand jury
for the investigation.

when the functions Of any agency
are transferred to another agency,
veterans preference employees
in the functions must be trans
ferred to the latter. But moth
ing specific is said IN the law
about intra agency reorganiza-
tionS.
The commissions interpreta-
ton is that the word agency"
includes any organizational unit
within a department or agency.
Until today's ruling, the protec-
ton was interpreted to apply
only in cases where a job was
transferred out of an agency
into another.
The new Interpretation means
that employees job rights will be
protected also in case of trans
ferring of functions from one
unit to another in the same
agency.
The commission said the rul-
ing also applies to hon-veteran
employees as we'll as veterans.
The commissions ruling comes
in time to aid employees in the

duction and Marketing Admin
istration and the Bureau of Ag-
ricultural Economics.
These two bureaus are being
abolished by Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson and their func-

ASS RANCE - Chairman
Philip Young of the Civil Service
Commission, in a speech last
night. declared that the admin
iStration is committed to a pro-
gram to make Uncle Sam a
better employer than ever be-
fore.
Addressing student meeting
at Pennsylvania State College,
Mr.. Young declared:
Let me say right here that,
when the improvements we have
planned have been accomplished,
the Federal civil service will be
more attractive and Uncle Sam
will be a better employer than
ever before. Far from being
undermined, the career service
will be improved and strength
ened in many ways.
Our first problem in this field
has been to clear up the exist
ing confusion as to what the
career service is. We want to

ice and what should necessarily
be the political appointment
area. but it also clarified, in the
mind of the Federal employe,
the area to which he must look
for his career if he does not
wish to engage in politics." he
said.
The fact that some top jobs
have been moved to Schedule c
does not mean that career en-
ployes won't have chance to
advance to the top in Govern
ment, Mr.. Young declared.
Less than 8 per cent Of the top
jobs in Grade Is, the top grade
in the Classification Act scale,
and in the so-called super jobs
in Grades 16 to 18, paying $12,-
900 to $14,800 a year, have been
placed in Schedule C, the COM
mission chief said.
There are still nearly 1000 of
these jobs available to career en-
ployeS, Mr.. Young added.
Mr.. Young urged the students
to give serious attention to max
ing Government service a career.
He cautioned the students,
however, that Uncle Sam is a
good employer, but he is also an
exacting one. If you have any
idea that, in the Federal civil
service, you would be associated
with misfitS and incompetentS,
get rid of it,"
In times af emergency, when
huge numbers must be hired and
speed is the compelling factor,
some substandard people will in
evitably turn up among the re-
cruits, the commission chief said.
But we have no room now for
any but the BEST" he added.
