positions for three years start
ing May 16, 1862, and that he
was not advised Of the basis of
the finding Of the immoral
conduct"
Mr.. Scott said he appealed
several times and that he was
told on August 8. 1862. by E. T.
Groark, chairman of the Board
Of Appeals and Review that the
Board finds that the record
discloses evidence that you
have engaged in homosexual
conduct, which is considered
contrary to generally recog-
nized and accepted standards
of morality; that under Civil
Service Regulation (s) immoral
conduct is a specific disqualifi-
cation for employment in the
competitive Federal service"
Mr.. Scott then appealed to
the Civil Service Commission
ers, which affirmed the prior
decision.
Mr.. Scott claimed that dis
qualification for employment in
the competitive Civil Service
because Of alleged immoral con-
duct is contrary to law because
there is no finding Of immoral
conduct on the record; the NOR
ality of Mr.. SCOTS conduct is
unrelated to the statutory au-
thority Of the commission to
prescribe qualifications for Fed
eral employment; the disquali-
fication because Of alleged i'm
moral conduct is a denial Of due
process; and that the disqualifi-
cation for immoral conduct is
arbitrary and capricious.
Action "CapriciOus"
Mr.. Scott added that "the
finding that homosexual con-
duct is immoral in nature is
arbitrary and capricious," and
"they are not founded upon
grounds authorized by statute, "
Mr.. Scott asked for a declara-
tory judgment stating that his
application for employment
should not be rated ineligible
because he has engaged in
homosexual conduct" that the
Civil Service Register prior to
1862 should not cancel his ELI
gibilities; and that he should
not be barred from competing
for or accepting appointments
to positions in the competitive
Civil Service.
The case is being sponsored
by the American Civil Liberties
Union which expects to take it
to the United States Supreme
Court according to David Car
liner, a cooperating ACLU at
torney, who filed the suit as Mr..
SCOTS attorney.

Summerfield Successful
During the Eisenhower ad-

tailed postal services on Satur-

Congress over operating funds.

Senator Pastore said yester-
day that a Senate Appropria-
tions Subcommittee already has
turned down Mr.. Days request
to restore at least IS million of
the money the House sliced
from the supplemental funds.
Faced with the economy
drive. the Post office Depart
ment sent out kilograms yester-

told they should hire no new

had abused its discretionary
powers.
The statute in Mr.. SCOTS
case permits the Civil Service
Commission to use its discre-
ton to determine the fitness
and suitability Of applicants
for employment and employ
ment advancement.
Mr.. Scott has a bachelor OF
arts degree from the Univer-
sity of Chicago and worked on
his masters degree at the Uni
versity of Chicago and al
George Washington University
From 1899 through 1856, Mr.
Scott continued to advance In
the Labor Department, ending
with a GS12 classification in
the Wage. Hour and Public
Contract Division of the Labor
Department as an organization
and methods examiner.
In February, 1856, he volun-
tarily resigned and, his lawyer
said, he did not find another
job until June, 1859, when he
obtained a Job as administra-
tive assistant in the Budget anc
Personnel Division Of Fairfax
County, Fairfax, Va.
RepOrtedly Passed Tests
Subsequently he took written
tests given by the Civil Service
Commission for personnel Off
Ger and management analyst
positions. The suit claims that
he had passed the tests and
that the Civil Service Commis-
sion conducted a personal in
vestigation of him to determine
his ability for employment.
At one hearing on April 27
1862. the suit said, Mr.. Scott
was asked:
THE Civil Service Commits
sion has information indicating
that you are a homosexual. Dc
you wish to comment on this
matter?" Mr.. Scott, the suit
said, answered:
mo. I do not believe the
question is pertinent insofar as
my job performance is con-
'cerned."
A Civil Service personnel Of
ficer, the suit said, told Mr.
Scott on May Is. 1862, that:

Of all of the facts, including
your statements. the commits

the provisions Of the Civil
Service Regulations. you are
disqualified for employment in

tees report getting an increas-
ing number of complaints from
Government classified employees
over the new acceptable level
Of competence" provision re-
-garding within-step pay in
creases.
The members are slowly real
izing that in initiating last
years pay reform law they In
advertentty approved a provi-
sion which no longer guaran-
tees employees an automatic
within-grade pay raise If they
have a satisfactory" perform
ance rating.
Under the new provision, an
employees work has to be
above-minimal in order to be
eligible for an in-step raise.
There are no definis , standards
set by the Civil Service Com
mission or the agencies as to
what acceptable level of COM
petence" means, so administra-
tive confusion on the matter is
growing and employees are be-
ing denied in-Step raises, even
though their performance rat
ing is satisfactory"
The House and Senate groups
are expected to question csc
officials on the situation and
to consider the possibility OF
legislation to restore "'ithin-
step raises on the same basis
1t was until last year auto
matte as long as an employe
received at least a "satisfac-
tory" performance rating.
What angers members Of both
the House and Senate units Ia
that, not once during the
lengthy pay hearings last year
did the csc or other admin
istration officials disclose what
the innocuous sounding "ac-
ceptable level OF competence
provision In the administration
bill meant. Not a single member
OF Congress, 1t is fair TO say
knew that the administration
wanted this provision in order

judgment declaring him eligible
for competitive civil service ad-
vancement tests despite allega-
tions of homoseXuality.
Mr.. Scott, who resigned from
his post with the Labor Depart
ment in 1856, said that the de-
partment's action barring him
from advancement was a con-
stitutional violation of due
process of law. He asked for
reinstatement with the right to
take the examination for high
er posts.
Mr.. Scott's complaint said
that the Labor Department
had accused him of continuing
homosexual conduct. In an
swer to a question, Mr.. Scott
said that he had offered no
evidence to controvert the
charge. He said that his sex
life. like his religion, was his
private affair, and had no
bearing on the case.
Mr.. Scott told a reporter he
realized that his suit would
place him in the spotlight and
publicize the Labor Department
accusations. However. he said,
he filed the suit to make him
self a kind of symbol which, he
said, he hopes will force the
Government to conduct a study
on homosexuality and its rela-
ton to work production.
FAA Employe Involved
The suit appeared to be par
ticularly significant in view OF
a recent case handed down by
the United States Court Of APP
peals on homosexuality as a

ment.
In that case, William Lyman
Dew. of Denver, Colo, said the

: Designed by woman, Lily Span- dorf, and depicting the White House and it's outdoor Christmas tree, the new Scent 1863 Christmas stamp is now on sale at the Kodiak post office, Postmaster William Lamme announced today.
 The first Christmas stamp ever issued last year proved one of the biggest sellers of all time and over 30000 of them were sold at the town office.
 Last year we were out of Christ mas stamps at the most crucial time" Postmaster Lamme said, and recorders took some time to fill. This year its hoped users will take advantage of the early sale date and buy their Christmas stamps early, so if recorders are necessary new supply can be re- ceived in time. It is suggested large users and non-post office places around the island order in Novem- Der if possible"
 For any Christmas card mailer,
