Report Stresses
Public Service

PRINCETON, N. j., Mar. 5 (P.
An appeal for increased recog-
milton of the vital role of public
service in society was issued
yesterday in the summary re-
port of the Woodrow Wilson
Centennial Conference on 1.-THE
political executive in the Ma
tional Government"
The report, which listed sug-
gestions made in the three-day
meeting here of some 80 politi-
cal, business and academic lead
ers. called on leaders of both
major parties at all levels to
publicly recognize the vital role
of public service and counsel
against generalized attacks upon
Government officials and en-
ployeS."
The report, prepared by the
conference staff headed by Prof.
Stephen K. Bailey of Princeton
University, also suggested that
employers be encouraged to lend
personnel to Government service
without adverse effect on the
employees careers.
Salary increases for most polit-
ical positions and other reyisions
should be studied by a COM
petent group of private citizens,
according to the report.
The summary also stressed
the Importance of easy flow in
the channels between career
service and political posts, I'M
der appropriate safeguards
To this end department and
agency heads would be encour-
aged to attempt to identify "a
limited number of imaginative
and resourceful career civil
servants" and to encourage them
to assume the responsibilities of
political executive posts"
It was also suggested that
Presidents and Presidents-el
establish suitable mechanisms'
for continuing inventory of the
resources from which political
executives may be drawn.
Special attention would be
given those individuals render
ing, or who have rendered. pub
lie service in elected positions
in local State and national
governments.
The six-page report was sub
stantially re-worked at the clos
ing session today before being
re-drafted into the present form,

This is because the House
rider a special rule. This will
throwing out the provision on
a point of order.
Ordinarily a legislative rider
on an appropriations bill can be
deleted from a bill if any House
member makes a point of order
on it when the measure comes
up for action on the floor.
But the House Rules Commit
tees action in granting the re-
tirement rider a special rule
means that it cannot be chal-
lenged on a point of order. To
be deleted,, it would have to be
beaten by a majority vote. And
this is most unlikely.
Therefore the provision in all
likelihood will be approved by
the House this week. as part OF
the 1857 Independent Offices
appropriations bill. The provi-
sion was attached to the bill by
the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
The committee declared that
many Federal employees at the
age of 10 are still in excellent
shape, mentally and physically,
and that there was no reason
why they should not continue
on the job if they wanted to
and as long as they were able.
The present regulations make
retirement compulsory at 70 un-
less an employee has less than Is
years of service.
The rider also bars any age
limit being placed on any job
in hiring new employees.

RETIRE MENT SYSTEM
STRENGTHENED-The House
Appropriations Committees &C
|tion in voting $500 million for
the Governments contribution
to the civil service retirement
system during the next fiscal
year is also due to be approved
Iby the House this week.
The committees action is be-
ling hailed by Federal employee
leaders as a tremendous step in
Strengthening the financial sta
Ibility of the civil service retire
ment system.
The committee criticized the
administrations request for 1895
million as being far too in
adequate. It boosted this amount
by an additional 1905 million for
Ia total of 5000 million.
With the Governments deficit
i'm the fund now about $13.4
billion, the committee said it
was high time that Congress and
the Government start matching
the employees contribution to the
fund.
It called for adequate Federal
contributions to the fund from
now on to wipe out much of the
deficit. It's action last week in
Iappropriating $500 million is a
good indication that Congress
at last is recognizing the Govern
lment's responsibility in the mat
ter.
Much credit goes to Repre-
sentative Thomas, Democrat of
Texas, chairman of the subcom-
Imittee handling the 1857 indie
pendent Offices money bill. Mr..
Thomas steered the $500 million
appropriation through the COM
Imittee.
SOCIAL SECURITY RE-
MINDER-Federal employees who
are receiving monthly social Sc
curity benefits must file a report
on their 1855 earnings if they
amount to more than $1,000.
This is true even though the
employees work is covered under
the civil service retirement sys-
item, rather than social security,
and even though no social Sc
curity taxes were deducted from
their earnings during 1855. The
report must be filed with the So
