4 X
SUPERVISORS ANALYZED-
What makes a good supervisor?
The Civil Service Commission
recently completed a study on
this subject. To make sure that
the results would be representa-
tive, opinions we're sought from
several hundred Federal en-
ployes both in non-supervisory
positions and from several man
agement levels. The commission
delved into the trades, clerical,
engineering and accounting fields
in the Federal service.
Here is the commissions find
ings:
"A good supervisor trains new
Federal employees efficiently,
gives them clear and unambigu-
Gus instructions. and schedules
his work well in advance. He sets
a good example for his assistants,
is accurate in his judgment OF
their abilities and they. in turn.
can safely rely upon his word.
he encourages his men
to do a good job. defends them
when they are in the right. and
is popular with them"
The csc is using the results
of the survey to prepare forms
for the evaluation OF applicants
for supervisory jobs and tests
based on the findings are being
developed, Agencies also are be-
ing given the findings to ap-
praise their present supervisors
and for setting up programs to
improve the calibre Of super
viSorS.
HISS LAW REPEAL URGED
Representative Multer, Demo-
crat Of New York. has sponsored
a bill TO repeal the so-called Hiss
law. The law last year was de-
signed to prevent Federal an
nuities being paid to Alger Hiss
and others who have been con-
Victed of felonies or improper
acts against the Government.
Mr.. Multer declared the act
is too broad in scope and could
be used to deny Federal annuity
payments to loyal, honest Gov
eminent workers who mad
vertently violate regulations or
who may be guilty of a technical
violation.

The second Federal-Service en-
trance exam for college-calibre
applicants will be held February
