Teen-Agers Held Eager
For Community Life

The Lamond-Riggs Citizens
Association last night was told
that a little adult boosting
helps teen-agers contribute
more to the community.
A panel of five Coolidge High
School students told the as
ISOLATION that teen-agers soon
outgrow mere recreational
needs and focus their atten-
tons on community projects.
But in order to contribute to
neighborhood concerns, they
declared, notice of their efforts
must be taken by adults.
Seventeen-year-old 10 Ann
Jones said the teen-ager's de-
sire to become a community

lacks parental guidance.
"Adolescents need direction
as well as independence" she
said.

Service or civil service.
The Herter group said that,

Under the proposal there

In fact, the committee said
employees should not be al

in their own agency unless
they have also served in as
signments in the other two.
A top administration official
who worked closely with the
committee said present EN-
ployes in the three agencies
would not have to worry about
their jobs-that, in fact, their
chances for career advance
ment would be enhanced.
legislation by Congress would
be required to abolish the pres
ent civil service coverage for
AID and USIA employees and
those who are covered by civil
service In the State Depart
ment. Legislation also would be
required TO establish a National
Foreign Affairs College and
create the post Of Executive
Undersecretary OF State.
Present Setup Criticized
The Herter group said that
the civil service system lacks

in assignment and transfer OF
personnel This is a severe
handicap TO the agencies in
volved In foreign affairs. It de-
clared. 1t also hampers recruit

It said the personnel OF the
