The House Appropriations
Committee has served notice it
intends to crack down on UNI
warranted promotions of en-
ployes by Government agencies.
Committee members declare
that in acting on the various
money bills this year, the group
will investigate closely If
there have been too many un-
justified promotions.
In reporting its first money
bill of the year yesterday, the
committee sharply criticized the
Internal Revenue Service for
excessive upgrading Of en-
ployes and ordered that this
practice be stopped. The COM
mittee told IRIS it wants a full
and complete report on what
will be done about the situation
prior to hearings on its money
requests next year.
A committee spokesman said
the IRIS incident was only the
first in the committees drive
to eliminate undeserved pro-
motions in Government.
The committee noted that
IRIS, which has about $4,000
employees, made 34,380 grade
promotions during the last five
years and intends to make an
additional 1911 such promo
tions during the coming year.
1t said IRIS had instituted a
Blue Ribbon program designed
to produce a staff of excep-
tional merit and that promo
tons were part of this pro-
gram. However. the commit
tee said IRIS IS has completely
lost sight of the merit con-
sheraton and is using the pro-
gram as a means of upgrading
the entire staff"

MORE SUPER GRADES
SOUGHT - President Kennedy
is seeking to remove the con-
gressional ceiling on the num-
Der of super-grade jobs in
Government.
AS part of his Federal pay
reform plan, Mr.. Kennedy pro-
poses that the number of
GS-16 to IS jobs no longer be
restricted by numerical CELL
ings. The administration feels
strongly that, with the Govern
ment's expanding programs in
space, national welfare, defense
ETC., it is essential that more
super-grade jobs be available to
attract and retain the high
caliber of personnel required.
At present there are about
1000 of these super-grade jobs
authorized by Congress. out
of a total Federal employment
of "a million.
Under the Presidents pro-
posal, the requests by agencies
for additional Super-grade jobs
would still have to be approved
by the Civil Service Commits
sion. An annual report de-
failing super-grade job actions
would be given to Congress. but
the present restrictive ceiling
would be removed.

Many Charges
In PHS Probe
Found Too Old
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
ar Star Staff Writer

The most serious of the al
Legations against Public Health
Service personnel may be too
old to pin down or prosecute.
A high-ranking Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare Depart
ment official indicated this to-
day, adding that the charges
of wrongdoing still within the
statute of limitations are gen.
orally less serious than those
which are beyond prosecution.
One of the more serious
charges, for example, may in
volve an abortion allegedly
performed about 10 years age
by a Public Health Service
physician not in Washington
The statute OF limitation or
crimes not punishable BY
death ranges up to five years
with a few exceptions
A Public Health Service
executive said today that q
PHS officer exercised "ques-
tionable judgment" about IL
years ago in such a case, &C
cording to allegations made
then.
Not PrObed by Board
Deputy Surgeon General John
Porterfield said the original
inquiry board which was set
UP in October did not investi-
gate this old case, but that
two staff members borrowed
from the Civil Service Com
mission sometimes went into
matters on their own.
When the inquiry board
closed shop a month ago and
recommended further investi-
cation. the Civil Service inves-
tigators also submitted a re-
port to Secretary Ribicoff.
They may have included the
abortion case, a spokesman in
the PHS said, in this or a SUBJ
Sequent report.
Reports of the misuse OF
drugs and whisky were also in
cluded in the charges, a Cap
itol Hill source has said.
But in the abortion case,
some of the principals in these
cases have left the PHS or re-
tired, the source said.
Broader Inquiry On
| In addition to the investiga-
ton of charges of wrongdoing
an even broader inquiry is
delving into PHS' personnel and
recruitment policies.
The advisory board on per-
sonnet practices, as opposed to
the group probing alleged
wrongdoing, was organized at
the beginning of the Kennedy
administration to determine
how better personnel can be at
tracted to PHS and kept there.
Wage scales and promotion
procedures are the subjects of
this investigation.
The advisory board was APP
pointed by the Surgeon Cen
leral and is expected to report
to him about March Is on
