NFFE PRESIDENCY-The
executive council of the National
Federation of Federal Employees
will meet here on February II to
select a new president of the
NFFE.
The sudden death of Michael
hardwood means that an interim
NFFE president will have to be
selected by the council to serve
at least until the unions next
convention in September, 1858.
There is some speculation that
Henry Nolda, the NFFE's secre-
tary treasurer who worked very
closely with Mr.. hardwood, will
be appointed president. Mr..
Nolda, however, has not stated
whether he would take the Job.
Vaux Owen, an NFFE vice presi-
dent from Atlanta, Ca, is also
being mentioned in connection
with the job.
Mr.. Markwood's death deprives
the NFFE Of an able leader and
is loss to Government workers
everywhere. In less than two
years as president, Mr.. hardwood
gave the union aggressive and
progressive leadership and was
regarded as one of the most
promising young leaders in the
labor movement. Mike" Mark
wood will be greatly missed, both
as an able employe union leader
and as warm-hearted and gen.
erous personality.

commissions forthcoming pol.
icy statement will give Federal
agencies more specific criteris
for selecting employees for pro-
motions than is now the case.
And csc officials said the
commission is prepared to post.
audit promotions to see that the
new standards are being obeyed
Chairman Young gave a good
clue as to what the policy will
be when he said: I'VE cannot
force the Government into a
uniform promotion pattern and
expect that pattern to function
effectively in all agencies.
1.-THE answer to the promotion
question lies somewhere between
the two extremes of a rigid sen.
iority system and a purely dis
cretionary operation by super
visorS."
Mr.. Young said the csc will
discuss its forthcoming promo
ton policy program with Federal
employe union leaders anc
agency officials before putting il
into effect.
The commission is opposed tt
pending legislation in Congress
which would set up merit promo
ton boards in each agency, feel.
ing that this is too arbitrary. In
stead. it feels a better approach
is for the csc to establish a more
