The Trend Is Toward a Big
Post-Yfar Federal Setup
By HAL MILLER
WASHINGTON — Further indication of a larger
peacetime Federal government organization than ever
before is revealed here in
consideration of reconversion plans.
T h e entire U. S. foreign a n d
domestic p r o g r a m points to expanded
governmental
activity
which will involve t h e employm e n t of m a n y t h o u s a n d s m o r e
of all types of workers.
Increased p a r t i c i p a t i o n of t h e
c o u n t r y in a world security organization is expected to be a
m a j o r f a c t o r in increasing t h e
F e d e r a l staff in foreign fields.
S u c h staff increases are n o t exexpected to a f f e c t appreciably t h e
2,000,000 war service appointees

A g r a d u a l upswing, however. Is
expected t h e n , a n d F e d e r a l e m ployment will undergo p e r m a n e n t
increase in payroll.
While m a n y agencies are in
u r g e n t need of personnel, a large
n u m b e r of w a r veterans are now
finding jobs in G o v e r n m e n t . A
record 17,000 took F e d e r a l jobs in
F e b r u a r y , this being a n increase
of 1,300 over J a n u a r y . Civil Service Commission r e p o r t s t h a t , in

Employees' Day at Budget Hearings
It was a quiet April 11 at
New York's old City Hall, in
the lovely colonial room
where the Board of Estimate
J is the scene of annual fulminations. There were a few
' squabbles, but nothing like
' the explosive,
searing
charges and retorts of former years.

cases which were b r o u g h t before
t h e E s t i m a t e Board for c h a n g e u p w a r d change—seemed to be the
m o s t clearly justified ones. T h e r e
was the situation of employees
:who receive i n c r e m e n t s this year
— a n d therefore, if the budget
^ f c t a n d s as is, will be denied bonuses,

of service. T h e r e was t h e case of
some being p r o m o l e d to higher

Politics, InCf
COrtlnndt 7-ft668
NO ONE can yet foresee the tremendous
political
repertussiona
which will flow from the death of Franklin
Roosevelt.
But
these
are some of the speculations
observed in political circles last
weekend. . . . PAC and Governor Dewey may become more friendly.
In
NY State, the CIO has already praised his work, setting the basis
for possible greater collaboration
in the future. . . . Dewey may give
more and more to the CIO and the liberals, in the hope that
they
may ultimately
be in a mood, or be compelled by political logic, to
reciprocate. . . . The left-of-center
crowd may icant to lean on Dewey
as a possible hedge against an uncertain
future, just in case the
Democrats
don't work out. . . . Truman's
big political job will be
to keep together
the. southern
conservative
and northern
liberal
branches of his party.
Vihaf Franklin Roosevelt
Meant to Civil Employees
ABOVE ALL, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the
fortress of the "little man." His place in history will, we
think, show him pre-eminently as the leader who fought for
the weak, spoke for the voiceless, provided courage for the
hopeless.
Civil service employees hold his memory in special
affection, for they are of the little people—and he was their
leader. They knew him best, too, because his work and
theirs was closely intertwined, particularly in wartime.
And despite all the burdens which he bore, in the turbulet years of pre-war and the heart-breaking ones of war, he
never let the Civil Service slide away into disrepute. He held
up the merit system, so that after the war, it will be able to
proceed without recoui'se to spoils and patronage. When
Federal employees were attacked, he pei-sonally made out
theii' case for them, and gave that case to the nation.
The times produce the men. Our time produced a Roosevelt. P'or this, in the midst of sorrow, all the people of the
nation may pray in gratitude.

T h e Court accordingly suggested
t h a t a d i f f e r e n c e in t h e r a t e of
pay m i g h t be justified because
of t h e " d i f f e r e n t fields" in w h i c h
t h e two groups of employees w e r e

W a t s o n case points out. Is t h a t

T h e first a n d most i m p o r t a n t

City M a n a g e r L. B. C a r t w r i g h t of

Citizens U n k m View
T h e Citizens Union of t h e City
of New York h a s w r i t t e n c o n cerning t h i s bill as follows:
" T h e h o u r s a n d vacations of
m u n i c i p a l employees a r e m a t t e r s
which h a v e n o r m a l l y been l e f t t o

" I n f a c t as to h o u r s t h e r e m a y

of t h e h o u r s when a f i r e m a n is

While such limitations as a r e set

However, t h e Governor h i n t e d
