Hardy Old

The Federal merit system, rs years
old today, grows stronger with age.
Although its early years were marked
by struggle to survive attacks of the
SpoilSmen, the civil service through the
years has grown in stature and prestige
until today 1t stands as a staunch bull
wark against political and other infiu-
enceS tending to undermine efficiency
in the Government.
While the Civil Service Commission
lists the birth date of the merit system
as January Is. 1883. when President
Arthur signed into law the first Civil
Service Act, the legislation was inspired
by a tragic event more than a year be-
fore. This was the assassination Of
President Garfield by Charles Guiteau,
who had become enraged by a patronage
dispute. At that time Government Jobs
were regarded as plums to be awarded
by politicians as rewards for party sup
port. Public outrage over the shooting
OF the President brought irresistible de-
mands for adjustment OF the spoils
system and adoption of a Federal sys-
tenn based on fitness for the job, as de-
termined by competitive examinations.
The handful of Government en-
ployeS covered by the first law has
grown in rs years to more than two
million workers, scattered all over the
globe. Patronage today is restricted to
relatively small number of policy
making positions. The great bulk Of the
employees are in the career service I'M
disturbed by changes In administration
and safe from patronage dispensers. 1t
Is no exaggeration-even though there
remains room for improvement-to
credit the civil service with major con-
tribution to governmental efficiency and
integrity.

The military pay bill now before
Congress Is well designed to ease one
OF the most serious problems of our
armed forces. AS the White House has
declared. this is the problem of "exces-
sive turnover Of key officers and en-
listed men"-the specialists and tech
nicians who leave the services for
greener pastures in private industry.
Their movement in that direction has
been source OF concern for long time,
and 1t must be reduced TO a minimum
II our country Is to have all the trained
and experienced manpower needed to
operate modern weapons systems in our
Supertechnological space age.
To that end, the pay bill-which
would give at least per cent increase
In basic salary to all personnel with over
two years service-places major empha-
sis on providing special economic incen-
tives and minimizing the prerogativeS Of
seniority. In other words, skills and the
like would be more important than
length OF service in determining promo
tons and monetary rewards. The idea
behind this. Of course, Is to induce highly
trained enlisted men to re-enlist and
to offer noncareer' officers some sound
hread-and-butter reason for continuing
to serve beyond their obligated period.
1t Is good idea. Certainly, as Defense
Secretary McElroy has written to
Speaker Rayburn. in time Of peace
even peace as tense and uncertain as
the present one-"patriotism alone is
not . sufiicient motivation for a career
in the armed forces"
Since Congress seems generally 10
be In agreement with all this, speedy
and favorable action is expected. The
bill. which Is based on the Cordiner re-
ports recommendations, and which
could have been enacted last year II the
President had not regarded it as infla-
tionary, calls for an additional annual
outlay Of about $5l8 million. However.
II 1t checks the current turnover, It will
be an outlay well invested, not only In
terms OF our national security but also
In terms Of cutting down on the great
economic loss involved in the drift OF
trained manpower from the military
back into civilian life.

Helping Children

Having completed year Of success
full operation, the Child Guidance Clinic
conducted by the Jewish Social Service
Agency since last January has submitted
highly encouraging report to its spon-
sors. 1t is report that shows that
much can be done to solve problems not
only OF mentally disturbed children but
also OF mentally disturbed parents. For
a study Of cases coming before the clinic
has disclosed that often the two prob
lens are interrelated.
The interfaith and interracial clinic,
stated by a psychiatrist, psychologist
and other experts, meets a need that
had been especially acute in Washington.
AS Mrs. David l.. Bazelon, chairman of
the agencys child guidance committee,
has pointed out, there has been "des-
perate" shortage of such facilities for
treating children and aiding parents In
Washington. It is good to learn, there
fore, that the agency is considering a
five-year expansion program in this I'M
portant field Of human relations. The
example set by the agency is one that
other organizations well might foiiow.

Wisest Man.

The President has dropped a verbal
bomb OF megaton size on those who have
been trying to get Dulles-must-go
drive under way. And this is as 1t should
be, For the President, If he wants to
keep MIR. Dulles as Secretary of State,
and 1t is obvious that he does, simply
must give him his unqualified. unequiv-
ocal support.
There are good many people who
win not agree with the Presidents eval-
uation of Mr.. Dulles-that he is the
wisest, most dedicated man I know"
We happen to be among those who be-
lieve that Mr.. Dulles, on the whole, has
done very good job in an enormously
difncult situation. But this-one's own
opinions immaterial The important
thing is that Mr.. Dulles is Secretary Of
State. If the President were to waver,
or even appear to waver, in his support.
Mr.. Dulles usefulness would be de-
stroyed. His domestic critics would tear
him to pieces and he would be wholly
unable to act for this Government in its
relations with other countries.
Mr.. Truman found this out when his
Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, was
getting the same treatment, and maybe
worse. Mr.. Truman backed Mr. Acheson
TO the hilt. And Mr.. Eisenhower is
absolutely right in giving the same
incorporating support to Mr.. Dulles.

Crime Factors

Ofncial reports show a per-
centage increase in crime in
this country for the past
year. OF course the 2,756.0O0
serious violations OF law in
1857 include only crimes
which were detected. But as
Stunning an actual increase
while at the same time the
factors which are supposed
to help prevent crime also
have increased. makes the
situation seem paradoxical.
Poverty. one of those fac
tors, has been reduced by a
period Of exceptional pros
perity. Statistics also indicate
a religious awakening during
recent years and a greater
percentage Of church mem
beers than ever before in his
tory. SO morality and a de-
crease In crime should re-
suit. Our education level is
also higher than at any pre-
vious time and should help
70 prevent crime.
Then should we say that
prosperity. religion and edu-
cation are conducive to crime,
or are there other factors
involved

this idea of sniping at the

Profit Sharing

Walter Reuther's proposal that the
automobile manufacturing companies
should share their excess" profits with
their workers is not new idea. PROFIT
sharing plans have existed in American
industry for many years. dating back at
least to the post World War period.
Some have operated to the mutual sat-
iSfaction of employers and employees;
many others have been abandoned be-
cause of dissatisfaction on one side or
the other The plans themselves have
varied greatly and there appears to be
no single formula more successful than
any others. A study Of such plans by
the Tax Research Institute showed that
most abandonments were attributed TO
business difficulties entirely unrelated
to the profit sharing, but, interestingly.
very large number have been discon-
tinued because labor unions themselves
were unhappy with the results.
Actually, most labor leaders of mod
ern times are either wary Of or outspok-
emily opposed to profit-sharing plans
largely on the grounds that their condi-
tional benefits too often are offered by
management as a substitute for concrete
benefits. John l.. Lewis, president Of
the United Mine Workers, once summed
up for Senate committee labor's dis
illusioned experience" by charging that
the plans had been used "as device to
avoid payment of an immediate decent
wage and made labor dependent upon
haphazard industrial and financial pol
icies Of management" Presumably, the
president of the United Auto Workers
is seeking to Offset these risks by his
other basic" contract demands-includ-
ing what he calls general noninfia-
tlonary wage increase" and a half
dozen other economic benefits
There are numerous grounds on
which the Reuther proposal may be
attacked, and the big Three" among
the auto makers already have opened
fire. In sense. the Reuther plan is
"heads l win, tails you lose" sort of
proposition by which labor would share
the fruits of efficient management, with
out responsibility or risk OF sharing"
any losses. For this reason, among
others, the Reuther plan probably will
not get to first base. Still, It will be
interesting to hear the arguments, pro
and con, II the proposal is pressed at
the bargaining table.
