TEST CASE ARGUMENTS
In the Government employe Job
security "test case" before the
United States Court Of Appeals,
counsel for Leo A. Roth argues
that only Congress, through leg
islation, can take away the job
protection rights guaranteed
Federal employees by an earlier
Congress in 1912.
The firm Of Woll. Thatcher g.
Glenn. representing Mr.. Roth.
who are seeking to regain his
attorneys job in the Justice De-
partment. declared the President
does not have the right to take
away the job security rights af-
forded Federal employees by the
Lloyd-LaFollette Act of 1912. Mr..
Roth Is appealing the ruling of
Federal Judge Richmond Keech.
who held that the President does
have widespread authority to re-
move job protection rights of
career employees transferred to
excepted jobs.
THE Lloyd-La Toilette Act of
1912, as amended and strength
ened in 1948. is explicit that no
person in the classified service
can be removed without certain
procedural projections. including
notices of charges and oppor-
tunlty to answer" the brief
noted
THAT act indicates an over
all purpose on the part of Con-
gress to establish projections
against arbitrary or summary re-
movalS in the Federal civil serv-
ice so that career personnel de-
voting their lives to Government
work would be afforded a Sc
curity which might render such
careers more attractive and which
would, in turn, raise the caliber
Of that service"
The brief contends that if the
President. by the mere act of
classifying or reclassifying, can
destroy a status in the classified
civil service previously achieved,
then, obviously. the Lloyd-La
Toilette Act would be rendered
completely ineffective and mean
ingless."
Counsel argued that, while the
President is free to use his classi-
f1cation authority freely to pro-
Evening star., 1954-04-20

mote the efficiency of Govern
ment. he cannot use such powers
'for' the purpose or with the
result of effecting removals of
incumbents in the classified civil
service" If this were done, the
brief argued. it would nullify the
intent of the Lloyd-LaFollette
Act
THAT act can hardly be
avoided simply by an executive
order which leaves a person with
status but deprives him of his
position" the brief says.
The Justice Department has
25 days in which to answer the
appeal brief. After that, the
appellate tribunal will set date
for oral arguments on the
appeal

home repairs. where there are
unconscionable private profits at

3 Other Programs.
The other three programs
mentioned by Senator Byrd are:
!. The current cooperative
housing program under Section
213. where he said the alleged
abuses are similar to the old
apartment projects prior to 1850.
On those apartment projects,
the allegation is that FILA
mortgages were insured for more
than the 80 per cent allowed by
law, resulting in windfalls for
the developers.
2. The so-called Wherry Act
program under Section 803,
where, Senator Byrd said, the
Government will guarantee 90
per cent of Replacement cost"
but the law says if the estimate
is excessive the borrower can
keep 100 per cent of actual cost.
3. The critical area" program
under Section '908 which pro-
vides for insurance of loans for
80 per cent "of the amount the
commissioner estimates will be
the value of the property or
project when proposed improve
ments are completed" Senator
Byrd said that here also the
loan is good for 100 per cent of
cost if the estimate is high.

abused, and is now being abused,
by certain congressional COM
mittees. He has been further
told that congressional commit
tees, instead of conf1ning them
selves to their proper function,
have in effect constituted them
selves as the Grand Inquest of
the Nation, acting as informers,
witnesses, prosecutors, judges
and juries: all of this under the
guise of exercising a legislative
function.
"Mr. Powell has been further
advised that. in certain instances
of unreStrained congressional
inquiry. the regulations of hon.
orable men have been destroyed:
and htat such men are without
any legal redress whatsoever be-
cause of the absolute privileges
of immunity from suit for SLAM
der which attaches to members
of Congress and witnesses be-
fore congressional committees.
He has been further advised that
to one like himself, who values
his reputation. the injury from
slanderouS statements and un-
Just accusations, to which one
appearing before a congressional
committee is subjected. is i'm
meaSurably more disastrous than
any punishment available to the
Government when imposed by a
court.
"Mr. Powell has been further
advised that the only right which
he may successfully invoke be-
fore this committee is the right
to refuse to testify against him
self. That being his only re-
course, he has been advised to
invoke it,"
Mr.. Maher has represented

Why Housing Official Baked
Is Spelled Out by Attorney

Clyde L. Powell, assistant Fed

Commissioner, yesterday refused
to answer questions at the Sen

larities on grounds of possible
self determination.
Why Mr.. Powell resorted to

unusual in non-loyalty hearings,
is explained by his lawyer. DAN
