Eisenhower Rejects
Reuther Plea for
Employment Farley

President Eisenhower today
turned down an appeal from
Walter Reuther. president of the
CLIO and the United Automobile
Workers. to call a national con-
ference on employment.
The labor leader wrote the
President January Is reviewing
current economic conditions and
asking anew that the President
call a national conference to
discuss measures for checking a
slump.
In response the President told
Mr.. Reuther that discussions
have been held. Government
policies are continually being re-
viewed and that special inquiries
are being made into such mat
tiers as agriculture. housing,
foreign economic policy. taxa
ton and the Federal State-local
relationships.
Urges Proper Perspective.
At the same time the President
told the labor chief it is up to
all citizens in position Of lead
ership" to view the current bust
ness slump in it's proper perspec-
tive.
At the present time. Gen.
Eisenhower said. II believe this
is the most fruitful method of
pooling the ideas and experience
of all segments Of our popula-
ton"
The President expressed graft
fication that Mr.. Reuther and his
associates have discussed vari-
Gus aspects of economic growth
and stability with the Council Of
Economic Advisers and with
others in the Executive branch. F"
Smooth Transition.
The President also expressed
deep conviction that We can
make the transition now under
way from a wartime to a peace
time economy without serious
interruption in our growth as a
Nation or in the improvement
in the living standards of our
people. Government policy is
now geared to decreasing the diff
f1culties incident to this transit
ton and to strengthening the
weapons necessary for this
task"
The President also spoke of
the need Ito maintain a steady
unshakeable attitude of public
confidence in the capacity of the
American economy for con-
tinued growth.
"All of our citizens in posi-
tons of leadership have the re-
sponsibility OF placing in the

changes in the civil service law
that would strip thousands Of
jobs from merit system protec-
ton. The White House, the Civil
Service Commission and Con-
gress are under a constant bar
rage from Republican leaders
who demand that something be
done.
1t is to the credit of President
Eisenhower and the Civil Service
Commissioners that they have
resisted all attempts to cripple
the merit system. Also Congress
so far. while grumbling about
the situation, has turned back
several threats to impair the
merit system.
Butts as November draws closer,
the cries of Mr.. Kelland and the
other Republican National Com
mitteemen will grow increasingly
louder. Government employees
at no time can afford to sit back
and be complacent about the
situation. They must be ever
alert and vigilant to any move
that would destroy their rights.
AS Mr.. Kelland said. public
opinion is the all important fac
tor in the situation. Federal
employees and their organizations
should make it their business
to see to it that public opinion
remains pro-civil service.
JOBLESS CAREERISTS-The
Civil Service Commission reports
it found Federal jobs for only
81 separated career workers
during the week. At the same
time. 80 more jobless workers
registered for the program.
The commission says jobs have
been found for 3,169 jobless ca
reer workers. However. !, 1921 ca
reeriSts are still looking for
work. Their spokesman say that
the CSC's program is tagging
badly and that finding jobs for
81 in a week will never solve
the unemployment problem.

Otte. the popular secretary
treasurer of the AFL National
Federation Of Post Office Clerks,
has announced that he will not
seek reelection this year Mr..
Otte has held the job since 1888.
CAPITAL ROUNDUP-Postal
employe leaders yesterday
strongly Endorsed the bill to
place postal promotions on a
strict merit basis. The hearings
are being conducted by the Sen
ate Civil Service Committee on
legislation sponsored by Senator
Purtell, Republican. of Connec-
ticut. In his National Civil
Service Week message to the

most OF his colleagues in de-
nouncing the civil service merit
system. but there is no doubt that
most of them feel the same way
he does. Republican National
Chairman Leonard Hall also is
sharply critical of civil service.
Mr.. Kelland says the Eisen-
hover administration must seek
to change the civil service sys-
tenn in order Ito save its own
neck
Nothing can be done about it
unless public Indignation is
aroused to a point where it will
bring pressure upon Congress to
amend our civil service laws, y
Mr.. Kelland declared.
The chief complaint made by
Mr.. Kelland and his Republican
colleagues is that civil service
laws prevent Republican agency
heads from filling more of the
important jobs in Government
with their own people.
In picturesque language. Mr..
Kelland declares: The tentacles
of a debauched civil service
clutched and choked every de-
partment of Government, bent
on sabotage. What we have
now in Washington is a Repub-
lican administration that cannot
administer"
Mr.; Kelland declared that the
Republicans face defeat in No
vember'S congressional elections
and in the national election in
1856. unless they can get control
of more of the key jobs in Gov
eminent. He said patronage is
not involved: instead it is a ques-
ton Of the right to have persons
in important positions who can
be trusted and who share the
same political views as the ad-
miniStration.
Mr.. Kelland sharply criticized
! congress lOr raining 10 take &C
ton to strip some jobs of civil
service protection. He charged
that Congress is afraid"
1T stands in awe of the power
OF civil service" he wrote. 1T is
afraid that. If it introduced or
voted for law abating this evil,
it would pull down upon itself
the resentment Of the octopus of
civil service. Every single Con-
gresham shakes in his boots
when he thinks Of civil service.
; Evil though he knows its present
power is. he hasn't the courage
to risk defeat at the polls by en-
tering the lists against the
dragon.
Mr.. Kelland's views are pre-
sented here to show the terrific
pressure that is being exerted
by Repu blican politicians

Authorities on the fuctuation
