in promotions. they say that 1t is
unfair to hold back an outstand-
ing employee Just because some
mediocre employe has the edge
in seniority and is thereby given
the Job.
The complaints about personal
patronage are closely tied in with
promotions.
The charge is made that all too
often an employees chance for
advancement in Government de-
ponds on his standing with the
officials in charge.
Political patronage also exists,
but not on the scale that personal
patronage does, the delegates say.
Grievance Machinery Sought.
The delegates also complained
about a lack Of grievance ma
chinery in most agencies.
Employe C o m plants about
working conditions. their jobs or
their supervisors largely 60 I'M
noticed now, to the detriment of
morale, they say.
The delegates acknowledged
that some grievances have no
basis of fact. But they said that
MANY times emplOveS do have
legitimate grievances. In either
case, they say, it would be best
for employe morale If there were
a uniform grievance procedure
established in Government to
handle these complaints.
The delegates emphasized their
belief that the Civil Service Com
mission should start as soon as
possible to put some OF these
suggested changes into effect.

obtained asylum here. Petrov
told a royal commission on
espionage that Mrs. Ollier gave
him vital information on ship
ments of Australian war material

DR.. Evatt was critical of Mr..
Roche, who disclosed the arrest

New Justice Is Grandson Of Man Whose Dissent in 1895
Argued That the Constitution Is Color Blind

The promotion of John
Marshall Harlan from the
Circuit Court to the Supreme
Court after only eight months
judicial service was a bomb
shell in Washington, but it
appears that his parents had
his future picked out when
they named him.
John Marshall of Virginia
is probably the best known
Chief Justice of the United
States. He served from 1901
until 1885 during the formative
years Of the Republic and
stood UP. boldly and astutely,
in behalf of the court to the
strong minded men who oc-
cupied the White House during
those years.
No man contributed more to
to the elevation of the court
in the public mind and to the
power it Yields as a third and

father was Associate Justice
