SET UP BY NEW

SECURITY Law BB

Other States to Follow Indi- . ana on Welfare Agency : Personnel.

(Last of a Series)

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—A long step toward applying the merit 8ystem and banning political aetivity in vne of the largest and most important of Government agencies is provided by the new Social Security Act. A total of 90,000 employees of the various agencies, ederal, State and local, which administer the social security act are affected by the merit-system scheme imposed by Congress. In brief, the new act requires adoption by the state of certain standards, including a merit system, in their social security organizations before these can be apr proved by the Social Security Board here. This indirect approach is possible because the salaries of the state employees are paid in part with Federal funds. La Follette Offered Plan

' ‘The law sets forth that state so cial séeurity agencies shall provide in their setups, after Jan. 1, 1940, “methods relating to the establishment and maintenance of personnel standards on a merit basis, except that the Board shall exercise no authority with respect to the selection, ténure of office, and compensation of any individual employed in accordance with such methods.”

The reform was sponsored by Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr. (Prog.

- Wis.) on the basis of recommenda-

tions several months ago by Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of the Social Security Board. Indiana and several other states already have the merit system in effect for security agencies. Standards required under this authority will include some sort of merit system, grading of employees, and a ban against political activity. The Federal Government could not very well go into the fields of selection of employees, tenure of office and salaries, since these are after all state matters.

Kentucky Affair Recalled

The néw act also contains another provision designed to check political exploitation. This requires the state ncy to provide safeguards “which restrict the use or disclosure of information concerning applicants and recipients to purposes directly connected with the administration of old-age assistance.” is aimed at a political practice discovered by the Sheppard Campaign Investigating Committee last year, particularly in Kentucky. T0cal politicians working for the re-election of Senator Alben W. Barkley, Administration leader, were furnished lists of WPA workers for political canvases, while state organizations workers for Governor A. B. Chandler canvased and levied contributions upon employees and recipients' of old-age assistance and unemployment compensation allowances.

leges” was required to produce the momentum necessary to make democracy work. “It seems,” he said, “that a completely néw technique must be invented if the moral temperature of the masses is to be raised to a level in which democracy can really work.” : No educator, he said, “can do more than scrape the problem unless he is prepared to face the problem of religion.”

Rep. Smith Speaks The congress was convened for a

three-day session under the auspices | Jil

of the Columbia University Teachers College for the announced purpose of fixing “education's responsibility for the defense and and advance of democracy.” More than 2500 persons represents ing business, labor, agriculture, education and the professions heard Lord Stamp and other speakers stress the necessity for a moral resurgence in the | democratic scheme. x Speakers at the first session included Nicholas Murray Butler, Columbia president; Charles A. Beard, historian; Rep. T. V. Smith (D. Il); William T. Russell, Teachers College dean, and John M. Ciechanowski, Poland’s former Minister to the United States.

The price of liberty, Lord Stamp |E

said, is not merely eternal vigilance but also perpetual restraint.

Beard Analyzes Democracy

“In a totalitarian state,” he said, “duties are prescribed. ... But in a democracy, if the individual does not himself assume the duties which his privileges entail, they go by default. . . . Education in the totalitarian state is for obedience and the reason for it. ln a democracy it must be for duty and the motive

today at her home, 724 E. 24th St. [te it

Dr. Beard warned that education could not “automatically insure the general welfare and the perpetuity of democracy” merely by training youth for the “successful pursuit of private interests.” The “six enduring elements” of democracy, Dr. Beard said, are popular government, efficiency in function, sustaining economy, appropriate education, civil liberty and “the spirit of humanity and enlightment which lifts men and women above the beasts of the field and confers

on them moral rights and soctal |

duties.” Hits at “Fallacy” Rep. Smith called for a rededica-

Vil | tion to the “humaner instincts of our

American traditions.” Dr. Ciechanowski said that .de-

: |mocracy’s “foremost duty” was the

destruction of the “fallacy” that totalitarian power is too formidable to be resisted. 3
