In answer to this. the CSC
declares that this feature is only

Experience Cited
Another criticism Of the COM
missions tentative draft is that
it doesn't place enough empha-
sis on experience In filing per-
sonnel directors vacancies. Un-
der the draft, a person with no
previous experience but with the
right number Of college degrees
could secure the job over an
employe with considerable ex-
|perience. The csc acknowledges
that there is merit in this crit
icism and that this phase Of the
qualifications may be revised.
Another feature of the com-
missions draft is that. for the
first time, a non-competitive
written exam would be required
for promotions or appointments

grades and salaries. the CSC
estimates
However. the CSc's tentative
standards, which have been sent
Ito the various agencies for COM
ment before they are issued in
final form, has resulted in hue
and cry among some Govern
Ement personnel officials.

A number Of them declare that
more than IS per cent Of the
Governments personnel chiefs
would be downgraded and suffer
| q loss in salary.
There are about $500 person
mel director and officers jobs
here and in the field. These are
the key jobs as far as personnel
activities in Government are
concerned. since the personnel
director or officer runs the per-
sonnel activities and policies in
his agency. bureau or installa-
Ition.
The csc estimates that q
greater percentage Of the salary
cuts would occur in Washington
than in the field. The salary cuts
would be more apt to hit the
personnel officers Of the smaller
agencies, although the csc says
that in the majority Of cases
there would be no change.
Here is the situation:
Personnel directors and officers
jobs are among the few groups
iof Federal positions which have
mot been subject to Government

cations set up by the commits

Lunch Setup Unchanged

also sought action against sepa-

However, the ICC said this

engaged in transportation, and
that 1t had no jurisdiction over
that lunchroom.
The commission also dismissed
"a NAACP complaint against the

failed to show how 1t handled

BySenotors
BY a star stan Correspondent

GETTYSBURG. Pa, Nov. 25.--
The White House today an
nounced the resignation Of
Chairman Hugh w. Cross of the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, who has been under Senate
investigation.
The Senate Investigation sub
committee has been looking into
Mr.. Cross connection with a
shift in the contract for trans
porting passengers by bus be-
tween Chicago railroad stations.
Mr.. Cross submitted his resig-
nation in a letter to the Presi-
dent. 1t was dated two days ago,
but reached the temporary White
House this morning.
Mr.. Eisenhower. from his farm
near Gettysburg, Immediately ac-
cepted the resignation.
A reporter asked Mr.. Snyder
whether Mr.. Eisenhower asked
for the resignation of Mr.. Cross.
ITO the best of my knowledge"
Mr.. Snyder replied. ''he did not"
Calls Charges 'Baseiess"
In his letter, Mr.. Cross called
the charges against himself
"baseless.
He also cited the i'll health Of
his wife and himself and added:
However, aside from my
health and that of my wife I am
realistic enough to know that,
iunfounded as they are, the mere
pendency of such charges inn
pairs my further service on the
commission and its proper func-
ltioning in the public interest. ]
feel that you. the Congress, the
industry under regulation. and
/ the people Of this country are
entitled to have the Interstate
/ Commerce Commission continue
Ito function free from any such
impairment"
Appreciation Expressed
In reply, MIR. Eisenhower
wrote:
Il fully appreciate the rea-
sons you have indicated and ac-
lcordingly accept your resigna-
ton effective as of the close of
business today. since / uEder-
stand that TO be your wish.
In doing so. however, ! would
Ilike to express appreciation for
the years Of diligent service you
have rendered with the commits
sion and for the constructive
contributions to its work that you
have made. You should draw en-
during satisfaction from the
knowledge of that contribution.
The exchange of letters was
made public by Murray Snyder,
assistant White House press Sec
retary, at news conference
which was delayed nearly one
and one-half hours, presumably
so that the resignation could be
announced.
Mr.. Cross was questioned
earlier this month by the Sem
ate Investigations Subcommittee
headed by Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat of Arkansas. The ses-
sions were held behind closed
doors. and there has been no
official disclosure of what took
place.
"Indiscretion" Involved
Reporters learned, however,
that the questioning revolved
about the issue of whether Mr..
Cross had exerted any influence
in connection with award of q
contract to Railroad Transfer
Service, Inc, of Chicago to carry
passengers in its buses between
Chicago railroad stations. The
contract had previously been
held for many years by A. C.
Parmalee Co. Chicago.
Mr.. Cross was reported to
have denied anything improper.
but to have acknowledged that
he had had "indiscreet" contacts
with two railroad presidents.
The contract for bus transport
tation of passengers was let by
"a group of railroads.

requirements of the Interstate
Commerce Act, so long as they
are equal.
But 1t said In today's rulings:
The disadvantage TO a trav-
leler who is assigned accommoda-
Itions or facilities so designated
Jas to imply his inherent in
|feriority solely because Of his
race must be REGARDED under
present conditions as unreason-
able.
Also. he is entitled to be free
of annoyances. some petty and
some substantial. which almost
inevitably accompany segrega-
ition even though the rail car
,'iers, as most of the defendants
have done here. sincerely try TO
provide both races with equally
convenient and comfortable cars
and waiting rooms"
Two Cases Involved
The ICc returned its findings
lin two separate cases. One was
initiated by the National -Asso-
lciation for the Advancement OF
Colored People against l3 rail-
roads, operating principally in
the South.
The other case was brought
before the commission by Sarah
Keys. New York beautician. She
charged that while serving as a
WAC in 1852 she was refused

Carolina Coach Co. OF Raleigh,

Texan Is Absent
Commissioner Everett Hutch
inson of Texas was announced
as necessarily absent" and not
participating in the cases.
Commissioner Richard F.
Mitchell Of Iowa did not take
part in the bus proceeding.
The ICC took note that the
Supreme Court asserted in its
public school ruling Of May.
1854. that "the policy of sep
Iarating the races is usually
| interpreted as noting the in
Iferiority Of the Negro group"
The commission recalled that
race discrimination complaints
have been coming before it since
two months after its organiza-
tion In 1887.
In that year the ICC ruled
that solutions should aim at
la result most likely to conduce
tsic1 to peace and order. and to
ipreserve the self-respect and
ioignity Of citizenship Of a COM
mon country"
Progress Is Noted
However, the commission said
that present circumstances are
far different from those of 1887,
adding:
TT Is hardly open to question
THAT much progress In improved
race relations has been made
since then and that more can
be expected"

WHY GROW OLD?
Good Fit
Necessary
In Garment
BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

II seems to be a question OF
whether you will have a fit or
get a At in your girdles, foun-
dations and brassieres. I
know--it seems much simpler
to have the garment practical
" made over than to make
yourself over in order to fit
into some size or style Of your
dreams
But here is advice straight
from the Corset and Bras
siere Association. They want
you to feel comfortable as well
as look beautiful. The facts
are-if you do not feel COM
Portable in your undergar-
ments. you and your figure
will probably not look nearly
so well as would be possible
with the correct style and 1T
ting.
If a great deal of alteration
Is necessary, you have the
wrong style for you. Try an
other. would now like to
follow up with some more ad-
vice from the association
which I know you win be able
TO USE,
with the variety Of foun-
dations available today, even
small adjustments may be
avoided if you will make a
point of trying on several
styles.
Some seeming imperfec-
tons in fit result from the
way you put your foundation
on. II a girdle has a high
top, be sure that you know
how it should fit. Unless the
waistline comedies with
yours. the girdle may tend to
ride up. Be sure, too, that
your stockings are the right
length for the girdle.
We women are always pull
ing our girdles down, and so I
was especially interested in
how to keep them from rising
up. Aren't we all?
"A girdle may rise UP for
some other reason-perhaps
1t is too tight, too short. or too
long and too loose"
To conclude, you should sit
down in the girdle you are
going to buy before you buy it.
See II you are as comfortable
in 1t when sitting as when
standing. This is important.
