to go through the trouble Of
documenting each promotion
to show that the person selected
was the best qualified in the
agency for that particular job,
will hire outsiders instead. The
csc will periodically survey
promotions made in agencies
to see if they were made on
merit and the agencies must
document each promotion.
ScOff at Threat
However. csc officials scott
at the threat that agencies will
hire outsiders for choice Jobs
rather than promote from
within.
They point out that it still
is a lot more trouble tor
agencies to hire outsiders than
to promote present employees.
In hiring from the outside,
agencies must go through the
time-consuming procedures of
requesting certiflcation of eli
gibles from csc job registers,
making security checks. proc
essing employee applications,
etc. Furthermore. the agencies
have to undergo a csc post
audit on all outside hirings as
we'll, the csc points out.
Consequently, csc officials
say they have. no worries on
the score that their new pro-
motion program will result in
Federal agencies bypassing
present employees when pro-
motion opportunities arise.

Mr.. Little radioed for help

Harold Davis, 33. held Mr..
Little and Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin

Davis, an ex-convict and
Burton's brother-in-law, shot

Burton left the house armed
with Mr.. Little's service revolver
and his own .32-caliber pistol.

to kill a policeman in San

ago.
Mr.. Little, a calm six-footer

a hostage Saturday after he
stopped Davis and Burton in

The Western Big Three, NOV
ing fast while Russia is in a
cooperative mood, pressed
Moscow again today for a new
try at arranging a summit con-
ference.
The United States, Britain
and France made public iden-
tical notes they sent the Soviet
foreign ministry yesterday.
The notes politely but firmly
requested a reply to their July
letter which had called for
renewal Of pre-summit diplo-
matte talks in Moscow.
The talks had a short life this
summer after a quarrelsome
start. Begun in mid-April. they
were broken of by Russia on
June Is when Premier Khrush-
chev lambasted them as a west
ern stall and demaned an early
heads-of- government meeting
without benefit of lower level
advance planning.
United States officials con-
ceded the timing of the Western
notes made public today was

They said not much had beer

seemed to be moving in the
direction of summit talks with

Council.
Urgent consideration was
given to this idea during the
tinderbox crisis in the Middle
East, created by the successful
revolt in Iraq and dispatch Of
United States and British
forces to Lebanon and Jordan
But Russia finally backed away
from any U.N.-sponsored sum-
NIT session and the idea was
dropped.
With the end of that pros
pect, however, came two en-

House Investigating Improper Influence On Federal Agencies

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Oren Harris D-Ark) offered stand ing invitation" Thursday for Sherman Adams or anyone else to tell Harris House Subcom- mittee about any improper in fluence on federal regulatory agencies.
 Harris did not specifically name Adams, President Eisen- hower's chief assistant, but he said the invitation includes of ficials of the executive branch.
 Harris announced also that we're going to start building the case" next Monday in an inquiry which so far has featured dis puted allegations that Adams pulled strings to help an old friend, Boston industrialist Ber- nard Goldfine.
 The Arkansas Democrat said he would call in Federal Trade Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission officials. Goldfine firms have been in trouble with both agencies.
 Adams was reported ready to deny that he swung favored ETC and SEC treatment for Goldfine. The White House said Adams was returning to Wash ington from a New Hampshire fishing trip.
 Harris investigators have said Goldfine paid nearly $2,00O for this over a four-year period. But Adams, it was said, always thought Goldfine kept the hotel rooms as a permanent residence suite.
 Goldfine, at Boston, confirmed that his companies paid hotel bills for Adams but denied the latter used influence on govern ment officials on Goldfine's be- half.
 ''I think we are in a sad state" :" said Goldfine, Eff a man cannot entertain his old friends without being subjected to this kind of vilification."
