SUIT DUE TO TEST U.S. HIRING CURB Power Over States on Standard for Welfare Workers Questioned. BY the Associatea Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 28.— An important test of how far the Fed- eral Government can go in compelling States to adhere to its standards for social welfare workers may develop in the court suit which has blocked Ohio Civil Service Commission from selecting social workers. Officials of the commission, which | had to cancel oral examinations for approximately 900 applicants for so- cial security jobs, said today they be- lieved the case was the first chal- lenging a State civil service body's efforts to fulflll the Federal Social Se- curity Board’s requirements.

Kelfer said in his petition that the Civil Service Commission “was in- formed and had good reason to be- lieve that if said qualifications were not adopted and adhered to by it, large sums of money, representing grants in aid to the State under the provisions of the Federal social se- curity act, would be withheld by the Gets Press Post HANDLES PUBLICITY FOR SECURITY BOARD.
