signing as chief budget officer.
The deadlock has now re-
suited in a charge by DR.. Cor
ming that the board has entered
into the administration of the
system and that he is being
virtually told whom to rec
ommend" for the two posts.
DR.. Corning's position is that
the posts should be filled by
probationary appointments. "
A majority of board members
feel that appointments should
be made on a Temporary"
basis.
Greater Security Seen
An individual appointed on
| a temporary basis would re-
quire renewal of the appoint
ment at the end of the current
school year. Probationary ap-
pointments run for two years
and are usually made perma-
nent.
DR.. Corning told The Star he
feels the latter offers more Sc
curity to the individual. He
said a temporary" appoint
ment would be unfair and en-
barrassing to any local person
since he would feel on trial
constantly" He said someone
from out of town would be re-
luctant to accept a position or
a temporary basis.
1t is the boards position
however, that the new superin.
tendent should have the chance
to select his own lieutenant'
when he arrives either thii
spring or next fall. In the In
term, the board feels. an!
appointments that are mad
should be temporary.

members of the board to limit

"that this is consistent with the
legal requirement that the
Board of Education must act

There, in the little triangle

'Kilmer to Close
AS Refugee Center
BY the Associated Press

The White House was reported
today to have decided tentatively
to close Camp Kilmer, N. j..
next month as reception CEN
ter for Hungarian refugees.
The decision was understood
to have been reached last week
at a meeting in the White House
attended by representatives Of
the State Department and I'm
migration Service.
The reason was said to be that
the number Of Hungarian ref
Iugees arriving in the United
States was declining to the point
where no central reception head
quarters is needed. Religious
and voluntary agencies. which
have been relocating refugees,
would go back to their old prac-
,tice Of meeting new arrivals and
taking care Of them pending
their permanent resettlement.
AS Of yesterday. the United
States had received 30,673 Hun
garian refugees from Austria.
This is about one-fourth Of all
who fed to Austria.

By the Associated Pres,

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
Of Arkansas. said today he will
fight for a chance to cross
examine under oath witnesses
he. said were assigned to Islander
the South" in the Senate civil
rights hearings.
Mr.. Mcclellan Is one Of the
Southern members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee demand
ing further hearings to explore
what the Arkansas Senator
termed evidence Of perjury" by
two witnesses. He declined to
name them publicly now.
Backers os civil rights 'legis-
lation aimed at preventing racial
discrimination have indicated
they will resist any move for
further hearings on the bitterly
controversial issue.
Senator Mcclellan made his
perjury allegations yesterday in
the midst of a debate at the COM
mittee's closed-door meetings
over a motion by Senator Hen
nings, Democrat Of Montana. to
bring the whole civil rights issue
to a committee vote April IS.
Time Runs Out

to a vote. and he announced he
would renew it when the COM
mittee meets again next Mon
day.
Senator Mcclellan and Sem
Iator Erwin. Democrat of North
Carolina. another foe of the civil
rights proposals. said they may
press their demand for further
hearings at that time.
II want to get those felix's back
that we think perjured them
selves. and cross-examine them

told newsmen. He would not
mention their names, but said
they are a couple of witnesses

members are confirmed and take

The commission staff is pro-
posing that there be formalized
promotion programs operated by
each Federal agency. The csc
would set general standards to
be used in awarding promotions
and each agency would be re-
CURED to promulgate a formal
program along these lines.
There has been considerable
criticism among employee groups
and members Of Congress that
Federal promotions are too often
conducted on a hit-and-miss
basis. with personal favoritism
and political patronage playing
important roles. The lack of for
NAL promotion programs in many
agencies has also been criticized.
The csc staff also is propos-
ing streamlining Of the Govern
ment'S appeal system. with only
two appeals allowed employees
instead of the present three
The employees still would appeal
adverse agency actions to NE
CSC's Board of Appeals and Re-
view and to the commissioners
themselves if necessary. How
