for the center had been based on
obtaining the access land.

Desire to Put
In Political
Choices Seen
By JOSEPH YOUNG

The staff director of the SEN
ate Civil Service Committee
today charged that Federal
agencies were engaged in mass
transfers of employees to other
cities in hopes that they would
resign and could be replaced by
political appointees.
H. William Brawley made the
statement as the Senate group
opened hearings on the nominal
tons of the two new Republican
members to the Civil Service
Commission.
In leveling the charge, Mr..
Brawley had the apparent back
ing OF Chairman Johnston of the
fun committee.
Mr.. Brawley said the control
Ter general had completed a sur
vey of single agency-the Inn
migration and Naturalization
Service-to ascertain the trans
fer situation in Government.
/ The survey showed that nearly
80 per cent Of the agency's $500
employees in Grade 7 and above
have been transferred to other
cities during the last three years.
Mr.. Brawley said.
/ Cost to L. S. 81 Million
There have been 2,225 trans
fers involving 1920 employees.
the committee was told. The
cost 10 the Government in
transportation alone was over
81 million. Mr.. Brawley noted.
During the three-year period
one employe was transferred
five times, II were shifted four
times. rs three times and ait
twice.
This controller generals sur
yey seems to substantiate re-
ports received by this committee
that certain agencies are trans
ferring employees to other cities
in hopes that they will resign
so that their jobs could De filed
by Others" Mr.. Brawley said.
Mr.. Brawley asked Harris Ellis
worth, who is scheduled to be-
come the new csc chairman,
how he would deal with the prob
lem If he is confirmed
Would Fix Reasons
Mr.. Ellsworth, who was Re-
publican member of Congress
from Oregon for IA years until
his defeat last November. de-
clared he would confer with the
head Of any agency involved in
excessive employe transfers TO
determine what the reasons were.
Pressed by Democratic men,
bers of the committee for fur
Their details on what he would
do in handling the problem, Mr..
Ellsworth said he was not suf-
ficiently skilled in Civil Service
matters TO answer the question
more explicitly. He said. how
ever, he would deal with the
matter forthrightly as soon as
he was confirmed and became
better acquainted with the situ-
alton.
In reply TO another question.
Mr. Ellsworth said he regarded
as his primary responsibility the
protection and defense of the
civil service merit system.
Sees Leadership Function
Also. Mr.. Ellsworth said he
regarded as a very important
function of the csc chairman
ship TO provide leadership and
dynamic operation" of civil serv-
ice issues. He said the commits
sion should take the lead in
presenting policies and proposals
to Congress and the White House
that would improve the operation
Of the Governments personnel
