The commissions explanation.
in the face of Mr.. Roth's an

be appealed to the United States

ruling represented the current"
view of the courts.
About six weeks ago the ap-
pellate tribunal overruled the
District Court here. It unani-
mously declared that civil serv-
ice employees transferred to nom
civil service jobs still retained
their job protection rights
against arbitrary dismissal.

changed its regulations and gone

Belfast FomiIy Enjoys
Luxury Vic Welfare

When it developed in a court
hearing at Belfast that the fam
lily of Gibson Beaumont. consist
ing Of his wife and eight
children, were being maintained
by Northern Ireland welfare au-
thorities at a cost of about $50 a
week, the welfare state came in
for caustic criticism.
The family was living in COM
parative luxury. although Beau
mont himself had refused to
support them. according to j. II.
Campbell, the magistrate. These
people are not living in welfare
state-they are living in a heav-
emily state" he declared.

Health oficials' concern over
shellfish sanitation stems from
the fact that shellfish have been
implicated in epidemics of ty-
phoid fever in virtually every
shellfish- producing country in
the world. There has been no
such epidemic in the United
States since development Of the
Health Service-State- Industry
program in 1925. The Canadian
control system has been devel-
oped in close cooperation with
that Of the United States.
One of the prime reasons for
the conference is the possibility
of Japan, Mexico. Iceland. the
Netherlands, France and Aus
tralia entering the American
market.

ment's appeal from the appel
late courts ruling.
William G. Dohefty, chairman
of the Committee for Protection
Of the Merit System and presi-
dent Of the National Association
of Letter Carriers, challenges
the commissions lack Of action.
The committee lost no time
in taking away job-protec-
ton rights from career employees
when the District Court ruled In
the administrations favor last
December" Mr.. Doherty said.
But now, when a higher court
the United States Court of
AppealS-ruleS against the ad-
miristration and upholds the
job rights of civil service EN-
ployes - the commission is
strangely silent and inactive.
We've heard a lot of talk
from administration officials
about how they love the merit
system. Well, actions speak
louder than words. Here is a
clear test Of the administrations
sincerity.
1.-THE Civil Service Commits
sion should Immediately change
the rules again so that career
employees will once again have
the job protection rights they
had before last December.
There is no excuse for delay.
Every week that goes by sees
employees being hurt by the COM
missions failure to act"
OPTIMISTIC - Incidentally,
many Federal attorneys who have
closely followed the Roth case
predict that the Supreme Court
will rule in favor of civil serv-
ice employees job rights. They
say the United States Court of
Appeals decision in the Roth
case in all likelihood will be
upheld by the Supreme Court.
