ADMINISTRATIVE VIEWS

I =
Chairman Harris Ellsworth
Of the Civil Service Commission
has testified in opposition to
the Clark bill that would strip
the csc Of many of its powers
and turn them over to a pro-
posed ONCE of Personnel In
the White House. leaving the
csc mainly an appellate and
policing agency. The solution
for a more effective Govern
ment personnel system. said
Mr.. Ellsworth. is for Congress
to strengthen present personnel
laws and give more authority TO
the Executive Branch to carry
out its personnel policies.
And in a speech before the Ma
tional Customs Service Associa-
ton, Mr.. Ellsworth reiterated
the Administrators theme that
the Federal salary system for
classified and postal workers
must be changed to permit more
f1exibility and adjustments of
Government pay to meet the
needs Of the times.

COLLEGE GRADUATES
The Civil Service Commission
announces that college gradu-
ates who have top scholastic
records or who make high
grades on the Federal Service
Entrance Exam can be hired
at grade Z by Government
agencies. The new pay raise
authorizes the hiring of college
graduates at grade 2 instead OF
grade 5 wherever 1t is deemed
advisable.
The csc decided against
setting mp b Job list for which
college graduates can be hired
at grade z. Instead, agencies
were told that the graduates
can be hired at the higher
grade If their scholastic record
was outstanding or if they re-
ceive high marks on Their
entrance exam. Superior
ability" should be the criterion
as well as potential Leadership
and the demonstration by the
graduates that they are Of the
advanced trainee' type, the
CSC told the agencies.
The csc said that present
college graduates in Govern.
ment in managerial, scientific
and professional jobs who are
in grade 5. will not generally
affected by the new rules. The
CSC said that most college
graduates who have entered
Government at grade 5 in these
type of jobs have almost in.
variably been promoted to grad,
7 within six months or a year
anyway.
