I am highly pleased at the
near-unanimous vote by which
the two measures lor civil service
nd retirement systems passed
the house yesterday. Phone they
receive a similar cordial treatment
in the senate and the approval of
the governor. The legislature then
win have earned a medal for dis
tinguisbed service in the cause of
good government.
I do not know of anything
-which would go farther toward
Improving , standards of public
service than these two bills. The
first establishes (after the war)
a very practical merit system for
selection and promotion of state
employes. This will not be very
revolutionary. For many years po
litical changes have extended only
to the top positions, the majority
of employes in the state offices
and institutions - being retained
regardless of political affiliation
, Now large departments operate
under a merit system set up un
der federal compulsion. It is en
tirely reasonable to extend it to
virtually all departments.
The retirement system set up
Is compulsory for state appointed
employes and for school teachers.
Other municipal subdivisions have
the option to be included or, ex
cluded. This will do more to in- I
spire continuity of service than
salary increases. School teachers
for example will think twice be
fore leaving. this occupation to
enter another. In my judgment it
Is the more important of the two
bills, but they really fit together
nicely; and it is proper for the
two to pass at the same session.
Government' service requires
trained personnel more than ever

LONDON, Tuesday, March 6.
(JP) Russian troops, anchoring
their Pomeranian flank securely
on the Baltic coast, yesterady
wheeled toward Stettin and cap
tured that port's outer bastions of
Stargard and Naugard, while oth
er Soviet forces to the northeast
cut deeper into two pockets where
possibly 200,000 Germans were
trapped.
Overwhelming Stargard in a
vicious street battle that cost the
Germans 4000 killed, the Russians
pushed on toward Altdamm, east
bank Oder river crossing town
just opposite Stettin and 15 miles
west of Stargard. Altdamm and
other localities ringing Stettin,
Pomeranian capital and Berlin's
main port, were reported under
Soviet artillery fire.
Naugard, 22 miles north of Star
gard, also fell as the Russians
folded back the Germans into an
1800-square-mile pocket in which
the enemy was battling with his
back to a 45-mile waterline formed
by the lower Oder, Stettin bay,
and the Dievenow river. ,
Dolberg, on the Baltic 65 miles
northeast of Stettin, also was be
ing stormed by Soviet troops "un
der, cover of a blizzard,"' Berlin
said. The enemy broadcast claimed
that the Russians had been held in
the fringes of the town, site of a
large , American prisoner of war
camp. . . ' .? - y-'A
