list, and that would seem to
eliminate the preferred candi-
date.
But the agency is far from
licked. The employment officer
calls up employment officials
from five other agencies. He
asks them for a special favor, to
which they agree. Each of the
five agencies asks the csc to
certify three candidates for the
type Of job involved. Then, after
a month or so, the agencies re-
turn the list, explaining that
they decided not to hire any one
after all.
Meanwhile, with the Is top
names removed for certification
to these agencies, the first
agency then asks the csc to
send it three names, which by
this time will include the candi-
date who at one time was No. 18
on the list. -
In return for that favor, the
agency will do the same thing
for the other agencies whenever
they want to pull that trick.
It's done all the time, Mr.. Moore
said.
The csc can crack down only
when it has definite evidence
that colluSion is involved. But
it's hard to prove. The COM
mission simply doesn't have
enough funds to police all hiring
activities in Government. 1t can
only set standards and hope
agency heads will cooperate
with the csc in adhering to
merit rules.

Will coming years bring as much progress?
Actually we believe there will be more. Many
exciting possibilities are practicable as we learn
how to make full use of atomic energy. Another
important new development will be electronic
machinery which will make work easier, pro-
duction switzerland create more Jobs. New
uses for gas turbines promise improved air,
rail and ship transportation, and better power
plants for industry. Research will make home
appliances even more helpful.
All these felds-and many others-are so
promising that we expect to produce more in the
next ten years than in all the previous IS years of
our existence As we see it, in free economy,
Americas industrial progress is not only con-

Charlottesville Council Sets april
18th As Date For Vote On Housing

At it's January 18 meet
ing, City Council ordered a
special election for April
Is to determine the need for
a housing and redevelop-
ment authority.
AS required by Virginia
law, the electorate will at
last determine the burning
question that has been be-
fore Council off and on for
the past five years. The
voters themselves will fin
ally decide whether Char
lottesville needs a housing
authority.
Original efforts to set up
a housing and redevelop-
ment authority were made
by Council (then mayor)
Gus K. Tebell back in 1913.
He was assisted in the eff
fort by James M. Barr III,
a member of Council at the
time. However, repeated at
tempts to set up such an au-
thority in Charlottesville
always met with failure af-
ter the employment of a SER
les of delaying tactics on the
part of three of the five
member council.
The resolution adopted by
council when it ordered the
