White House
Cards Urge
Jobs for COP.
Patronage Program
For Agencies Stresses
VoIue in Elections
By Joseph YOUNG

The Whlte House Federal Job
patronage program candidly
states that it is intended to bring
about a Republican victory in
this years Congressional cleo
tions and in the 1856 Presidential
race, The Star learned today.
The Star has seen commu-
nications from the White House
to all Government department
and agency heads. urging them
to appoint the Republican faith
full wherever possible to Federal
jobs-excepted jobs as well as
ciW lservice positions-to insure
Republican victories at the polls
in this years Congressional races
and in 1856.
The White House directive to
the Republican agency heads
also candidly states that the
administrations objective is sys-
tematic control of key Govern
ment jobs over a period of time.
SlOgan-Like Cards.
The White House position, in
the form Of slogan-like cards,
was transmitted to agency Of
ficials several months ago from
the Office of Sherman Adams, the
Assistant to President Eisen-
hover. The letters Of transmital
were sent by Charles Willis. as
sistant to Mr. Adams.
The cards we're distributed to
the agencies several months ago
when the Administration orig
inally started it's program to
secure greater control of Federal
job patronage. The latest Ad-
ministration move disclosed this
week was an effort by the White
House to strengthen this job
control.
Each card was printed in
capital letters, exhorting agency
heads to fill more jobs with
Republicans.
Here are some of the White
Houses messages to the Federal
agency heads:
"A Government position for
a loyal Republican of proven
ability to do a better job of
Government will thus earn votes
of confidence next November
and in 1885," Parentheticaily,
the White Houses message adds,
Controlled publicity on appoint
ments gives evidence that the
peoples mandate Of 1852 is being
followed"
Select Objects.
Perhaps cognizant Of the
military man in the White House.
another White House pep mes
sage to the agencies on Federal
jobs declares:
In military Technology. the
objective of a military force Is
not to overrun a large territory
but to take carefully selected
and strategically valuable OBJ
jectS."
Here are some of the other
White House slogans circulated
to the agencies:
Personal patronage resulting
from highly personalized recruit
ing by certain uncooperative
personnel people who are not in
sympathy with this administra-
ton has resulted in a terrific
loss of opportunity to recruit
qualified loyal Republic ans. "
This was a slap at the various
career personnel directors in
Government.
"Holdovers on the payroll in
key spots, as of January 10, 1858,
include a backlog Of key people

Railroad Retirement

Chairman Wolverton of the
House Interstate Foreign Com

the Railroad Retirement Boards
action, which seeks to remove 10
of its top administrative jobs
from civil service, it was disclosed
today.
The New Jersey Republican, in
a letter to Civil Service Commits
sion Chairman Philip Young,
said the boards action in asking
the commission to place the jobs
in political Schedule C "repre-
sents poor administrative judg-
ment. does not serve the best in
terests Of the United States and
violates the trust and confidence
reposed in the board by railway
employees throughout the coun-
try"
The major railroad employe
unions are bitterly fighting the
boards request, charging that
injecting politics in the boards
operations would jeopardize the
retirement and other benefits OF
railroad workers. The board ad-
ministers the retirement and un-
employment benefits of railroad
employees.

Mr.. Wolverton, whose COM
mittee has jurisdiction over rail-
road matters in the House, said
he was one of the House men,

Retirement Beard.

declared. This subject was
thoroughly reviewed and dis

was the considered opinion Of the
members of the committee that
such a proposal would invite in
competent administration and
would lead to other evils. which
would be destructive of good
government.
consequently, it was at the
insistence of the Congress itself
that the present provisions of the
Railroad Retirement Act were
adopted. making the application
OF civil service to all board per-
