The Tennessee Democrat plans
as soon as his group dispoSes OF
the postal rate bill.
The Murray bill, based on a
recommendation of the House
Civil Service Committees staff
report on civil service, would pre-
sent staggered six-year terms fol-
the three csc commissioners
The commissioners now are APP
pointed by the President, con-
firmed by the Senate. and serve
al the pleasure of the President
There are no fixed terms.
Under the Murray bill. the
ifiXed-term system would go into
ioperation on April !, 1857. Al
that time the President would
appoint and the Senate confirm
one commissioner for a Six-yeal
term, one for a four-year term
and one for two years. After
these terms were completed, all
future appointments would be
for six years for all three COM
miSSioners.
Nh Murray feels such Sys-
TEN will give the commission
greater independence by giving
the commissioners definite
tenure of office. Mr.. Murray
feels that a commissioner will be
more fortnight in his action and
more candid in his views if he
knows that he cannot be re-
moved summarily by the Presi-
dent
Also. staggered system would
provide for continuity of opera
lions when new administration
comes in power and would pro-
vide system of checks and bal
anceS by retaining at least one
member of the previous regime
The proposed new appoint
ment system would be the first
step IN the program of Mr.. Muir
ray and his committee to clarity
civil service laws and give the
commission more authority and
power in dealing with agencies
The administrators opposi-
ton to the measure is expected
to be that the President is en-
titled to have full control over
the Governments personnel
matters and that this authority
would be denied him if the com
missions members are not OF
his own choosing.
TO this. Mr. Murray and 9th
elS reply that the mcnt system
never was intended to be Under
White House political control.
