MOVETO TRANSFER RECORDS DEFENDED Bar Duplication, Bingham Points Out. i _— | Commenting on opposition which hnsl de.zloped in the Civil Service Commis- on to the proposal in the economy pro- ram that the personnel records of Gov- | crnment employes be kept under the | jurisdiction of the various departments | instead of under the commission, Chairman Bingham of the Senate Eco: omy Committee pointed out yesterday | that the Civil Service Commission made | the original suggestion for elimination | f duplication in the keeping of records. | Senator Bingham said the Civil Se ice Commission outlined during the | Senate economy hearings, and later in a separate report, how further economy could be achieved by consolidation of personnel records. There are points of difference, how- ever, between the suggestions of the | commission and the recommendation as | brought out by the Economy Committee. | ‘The commission favored elimination of | duplication of records and, while it sug- gested that the complete historical re ord of each employe be kept in the re- spective departments, the commission | contended the records should be under | s jurisdiction. It went further and | recommended that it be given author- ity to designate representatives of the commission to have supervision over the personnel records kept in departments | where necessary. It is probable this will be one of the issues debated when the economy pro- gram comes up in the Senate within a | | Mrs. De Beauharnais Dies. | | TORONTO, January 13 (#).—Mrs. | Grace Heaton de Beauharnais, widow of | Gen.
