Poge 2 The News-Review Roseburg Fireman Call For Civil Service Plan Roscburg city firemen Mon day nisht voiced their objec tions to the proposed '"merit system for city employes and called on the City Council to undertake a study of installing Civil Service. A police department repre sentative also voiced objections to two sections of the proposed merit plan, as the City Council held a special hearing on the merit system proposal. Robert Logan, president ofi Inonu Resigns Turkish Post ANKARA, Turkey (UP1) President Cemal Gurscl, seek ing to head off a government crisis, scheduled talks today on formation of a new cabinet fol lowing the resignation of voter an Premier Ismet lnonu. The 79-year-old laonu stepped down Monday for the second time since the 19fll elections Gains by the followers of exc cuted Premier Adnan Mcndcrcs In provincial elections last month was the reason. Gursel, at Ihe time an army general, deposed Mendorcs in May. 1960, and headed a mill tary junta that ruled until the October, 1961, voting that put Inonu in as premier and Gursel as president. Menderes' Democratic party was dissolved but his followers regrouped in the Justice party, which got nearly as many scats in parliament as Inonu s Repub lican People's party. It made further gains in the elections two weeks ago, and this strong showing prompted two of Inonu's coalition part ners to withdraw from the gov ernment, making its collapse only a matter of time. The last cabinet crisis lasted four weeks and Gursel said Monday: "Let's hope the gov ernment problems will be re solved without a crisis" this time. A spokesman for Inonu's par ty said it was not interested in calling for new elections now because of its losses in the lo cal elections last month. "But if a government cannot be formed, then general elec tions will be the only solution," The United States has a vital interest in Turkey's stability because of its position on the borders of the Soviet Union and its membership in two Western defense alliances the North At lantic Treaty Organization and the Central Treaty Orgnniza lion.

PHONE Tue., Dec. 3, 1963 the firemen's union Local 1489, said the firemen objected to the proposed merit system on sev oral specific points, but pri marily because it left all control with the city manager, and would tend to create what the firemen termed "one - man rule." Sgt. John Carr said members of the police department object ed to a condition in tne proposal which would allow transfer of city employes from one depart mcnt to another by rule rather than by consent of the employe. "If I'd wanted to be a fireman, I would have sought a job as a fireman," Car said. "I'm sure this same feeling applies to ev eryone who works for the city and who would want to be able (o choose the kind of work they'll be doing." One of the major objections voiced by the firemen centered around the advisory board which would be appointed by the City Council to hear all ap peals by city employes against department heads or the city administration. They felt the ad visory board would be only ad visory, and that final authority would rest with the city man- Oakland Woman Hurt In Crash Brenda Opal Seaslrunk, 20 Oakland, suffered injuries when the 1949 pickup she was driving collided with a log truck Mon day at about 12:15 p.m., state police report. The accident occurred ahout mile south of Winchester at tho intersection of Club Street on U.S. Route 90 BR. Both ve hides were traveling south on Ihe two-lane highway and the Seastrunk vehicle made a left turn in front of the log truck turning into Club Street, said police. The car was struck near ly broadside by the truck, which was operated by Rueben Wcick man, 37, Idlcyld Park. : Mrs. Seastrunk was taken to Douglas Community Hospital and her condition today was list-l cd as fairly good. Others in the pickup, Charles Leon Seastrunk, 22, Howard Alame, 17, and Re- heca Joe Saterficld, 18 months all of Oakland, were uninjured A second accident Monday ibout 5:15 p.m. involved a pick up operated by Edward William Curran, Oakland, and a sedan operated by James Persol Gor man, Wilbur.

PINE AND LANE 672-2611 ager leaving the employe with no recourse should the auminis tration decide against the advis ory board recommendations. System La shad "We feel it would be a rubber stamp board and would lead right back to complete control by the city manager," Logan said. Logan said the objections were not being voiced against present City Manager Craig McMicken, but against the sys tern that would leave the final decisions up to any city man ager at any time in the future. McMicken told the council he personally would rather t h e council serve as the board of ap peals i.nd that there would not be an advisory board. He ex plained the merit proposal now being considered was adopted from what several other cities are doing. City street department cm ploye Floyd Hoffman came up with a suggestion which seemed well received by both the coun cil and other employes at the meeting. Hoffman suggested mai u i ne advisory ooard is formed, each of the eight city departments, police, fire, parks, streets, etc., elect a representa tive of that department who in turn would sit in with the advisory board on all hearings pertaining to members of that department. McMicken Speaks McMicken said he felt Civil Service would take the right of control over city employes away from department heads, the city manager and, to a degree the City Council. "Department heads would have to hire on a test results basis, even though they might feci a person rank ing lower on the test might have qualities which would bet ler suit him for the job," he said. "In the city manager form of government, if the city man ager is to be responsible for seeing the job is carried out then he and his department; heads should have control over the employes." The firemen objected to chang es which would bo made in over time compensation (usually r,'iidc through compensatory time off), holidays, vacations and sick leave. Logan said, "We realize we may lose some of these things, but we feel we should be entitled to take them before the budget commmittce rather than to lose them by reg ulation. Mayor Thomas Garrison said the whole purpose of the meet ing held Monday night was to give the city employes a chance to voice just such objections. Ahout 32 employes attended the meeting. School Leaders Hear Talk On Budget Law The operation of Oregon's new school budget law was explain cd by W. M.
