Jones Cites Appeals
At the opening session, Civil
Service Commission Chairman
Roger Jones told the more than
500 delegates that "The part
of the Governments personnel
system that stands in greatest
need of change is the handling
of appeals"
He strongly urged legislative
action by the next Congress to
give non-veterans in Govern
ment the same appeal rights
as veterans in adverse agency
personnel actions.
The csc chief also called for
simpler Government-wide rules
on the handling of grievances
and appeals within the agencies
and the csc. He said an ad-
verse personnel action against
a Federal employe should not
necessarily damn him for all
time"
In regard to appeals, Mr..
Jones urged simplifying the
procedure to give employees one
impartial hearing before an
agency board, with the right
to appeal to the agency head.
The employe would be kept on
the rolls until the appeal was
completed, including one to the
CSC if the agency appeal failed.
Candidates Send Messages
Both presidential candidates
sent messages to the NFFE con-
vention praising Federal en-
ployes.
Senator Kennedy declared:
"a career Government service
is one of the foundations Of
Democracy. It must be strong,
it must have prestige, there
must be sufficient remuneration
to make it worthwhile. BY
organization you help achieve
these detectives"
Vice President Nixon said,
Our country depends on the
effort and dedication" Of Gov
ernment employees. He praised
the NFFE as having done IAN
outstanding job"
In his report to the conven-
ton. President owen said the
merit system needs to be
extended and strengthened"
He also called for IAN en-
and constructive ap-
proach to all of the varied
problems of employe relation

ments and agencies"

Mr.. Jones also said the COM
mission would also assist in re-

with the new management"
"MOve Over" Instead Of "Out"
The csc chief said the COM
mission recognizes there are
situations where some incom-
patibility exists because of per-
sonal relationships or similar
reasons.
Mr.. Jones said in these cir
Icumstances "the commissions
energies would be better spent
for the good of the service and
the individual in assisting a
willing career employe to
move over than to engage in
battle of wits and technicali-
ties to prevent him from being
pushed out.
Chairman Murray Of the
House Committee, commenting
on the csc report, said it will
serve as both a guideline and
reminder of the restrictions
which must be observed by ex-
ecutives in making necessary
personnel adjustments"
Mr.. Murray added his COM
mittee is determined that
there will be no abridgement
of career employe rights by
reason of political or personal
patronage contrary to the merit
system"

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Walker Blasts Owen
At NFFE Session
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
star stan Writer

NEW YORK, September l2.-The conservative National
Federation of Federal Employees rocked with dssenson
today the opening its convention its secreatry
the president Of using dctatoal
tactics trying pecpae physical combat between the two
emoton-led oral report to the convention Leland
Evening star., 1960-09-12

Walker, the 67-year-old secre-
tary treasurer, accused 70-year-
old president Vaux owen of in
sisting that his associate Of
f1cers become mere yes men
and perfect rubber stamps"
Mr.. Walker made his state
ment as a move developed on
the part of some delegates to
oppose Mr.. owens reelection,
Mr.. Walker is retiring from his
post.
A well-built Texan, who
stands six feet two, Mr.. Walker
told the convention that, on at
least three occasions. Mr..
owen, a slightly built man of
about five feet five inches,
tried to start a fight with him.
Walkers Charge
Mr.. Walker said that, after a
series of arguments, Mr.. owen
said to him, why don't you
hit me? That's what you want
to do"
This happened on at least
three occasions, Mr.. Walker de-
clared.
He told the convention that,
on all three occasions, he re-
fused to strike Mr.. owen and
become embroiled in fight.
The secretary treasurer ac-
cused Mr.. owen Of usurping
the secretary-treasurer's duties
and also those Of the executive
council.
Issue About "UniOn"
Mr.. Walker also attacked Mr..
Owen for the latter's statement
that the NFFE is not a union
but rather an association.
"I am not afraid or ashamed
of the union label, the title
union or even labor union," Mr..
Walker declared.
On the completion of his ad-
dress, Mr.. Walker got a good
hand from many of the dele
gates. He then sat down and
sobbed loudly.
Hanrahan Mentioned
Prominently mentioned as a
candidate against Mr.. Owen
for the NFFE presidency is Leo
Hanrahan of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Hanrahan, a special agent
for the Internal Revenue Serv-
ices intelligence division in
Milwaukee and a long time,
active NFFE member, says he
will run against Mr.. Owen if
there is sufficient sentiment in
his behalf.
Mr.. Hanrahan, 81. has held
top Offices in the NFFE in Mil
waukee and the State of Wis
consin for the last Is years.
He declares that the NFFE
needs new blood land a fresh
start in determining where it
is going to go from here" He
also says more progressive and
aggressive policies are needed.
Membership Down
A number Of delegates here
are upset because for the first
time in the history of the
two organizations, the rival
AFGE has more membership
than the NFFE.
The AFGE at its Cincinnati
convention reported 7l,000
members. The NFFE report
filed today showed $4,000. This
is a drop of 1000 from the
figures reported in its 1858
convention.
Mr.. Owen declares the drop
in membership results from a
new system of not counting
