$500 Severance Pay
For Reporter Upheld

The U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia to-
day upheld the payment Of 81, ,566
to Tina Marranzo, former Wash
ington Herald reporter for
severance and vacation pay.
The newspaper woman was
discharged from the paper in
October. 1948. Subsequently she
brought suit for $4,000 against
the estate of the late Eleanor
Patterson. former publisher of
the newspaper, charging breach
of contract.
The U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia found
the reporter had not been guilty
of willful neglect of duty or gross
misconduct, and had been dis
charged without sufficient cause.
But the court allowed damages
measured only by the severance
pay and vacation clauses of a
collective bargaining agreement
without allowing general dam
ages for breach of contract.

Whitten rider was repealed.
/. Immediately convert into
permanent status all Govern
ment indefinite employees who
have had three years Of con-
tinuous service and who have
passed competitive civil service
exams.
2. Grant career-conditional
appointments to indefinite en-
ployes who have passed COM
petitive merit exams but who
have fewer than three years OF
service. These employees would
automatically receive permanent
status, once they achieved three
years of service.
Career-conditional employees
would have competitive civil
service status. That is, they could
be promoted, transferred or re-
assigned to other jobs, or re-
employed after a break in Serv-
ice, without having again to take
an open competitive examina-
ton. However, although they
would have job priority rights
over indefinite workers. they
would have lesser job retention
rights than permanent status
employees in observation-disclosures
programs.
3. Employees hired in the fu-
ture through competitive exams
would receive career-conditional
appointments for their first three
years of service and then be con-
verted to permanent status.
4. Employees who have civil
service status but who have re-
ceived promotions on an indefi-
mite basis would become perma-
nent automatically in their cur
rent grades. Those with previous
civil service status who entered
the Government after 1850,
when the Whitten rider went
into effect, and subsequently re-
ceived indefinite appointments,
would be converted to permanent
status if they had a total Of at
least three years Of service.
Otherwise, they would receive
career-conditional appointments.
5. Indefinite employees who did
not pass competitive exams
would get a chance to take these
tests. If they made ratings high
enough to bring them within
reach for appointment, they
could be converted to permanent
or career-conditional, depending
on whether they had completed
three years of continuous service.
IMPORTANT MOVE The
Civil Service Commission has
created new Office of general
counsel. Appointed to the job
as general counsel was Pierce j.
Gerety, a 40-year-old Bridge
port, Conn.,, lawyer and former
newspaperman.
The move is regarded as an
extremely important one. 1t is
designed to give the commission
control over the important deci-
sions involving legality of Gov
ernment personnel actions,
rather than having the Federal
courts and such agencies as the
Justice Department make most
of the decisions.

influence and authority in Fed

mean the end of segregated unions
