Congress rather than the Presi- dent should decide what employes are to receive civil service status and be brought under the classifi- cation act. Chairman Bulow of the Senate Civil Service Committee said today as hearings were concluded on the Ramspeck civil service extension bill. As the bill passed the House, the President by executive order would give groups of workers the oppor- | tunity to qualify for civil service as | he saw fit and also would decide | when field workers should receive | the benefit of the classification act pay scales. Moser Testifies. Senator Bulow said, however, he }simply was expressing his own l opinion and did not intend to reflect the views of other members of lhc committee. | The chairman expressed the hopew | the committee could report out the oill shortly. He said that as soon as | accounts of 'the hearings were | printed—which “should be soon— | | copies will be furnished committee | | members for study and an executive session then would be called to take!| | up the bill. The hearings. which have been under way several weeks, were in- tended to close last Friday, but were reopened this morning to give Rep- | resentative Moser, Democrat, of | Pennsylvania a chance to testify. ‘ Keller-Nichols Plan Favored. A former postal employe, Repre- | sentative Moser said he opposed the ‘pmvmon of the bill to allow em- ployes to acquire civil service status | through non-competitive examina- | tions. He said competitive exam- inations should be used and criti- cized the Civil Service Commission for favoring the former method. | Mr. Moser also declared in favor| of the Keller-Nichols amendment to the Ramspeck bill. which would deny its benefits to all employes from | States having more of its citizens in the apportioned service here than | they are entitled to on the basis of population.
