SUGGESTION NO. 58-369: dated 28 February 1958
, GS-3, Clerk
Dispatch & Pouch Section, RI, DD/P
A. Summary of Suggestion
In D&P Section of RI, ditto sheets are used daily to re-
cord the station and quantity of wrapped packages sent from
that office. The typists merely copy these figures and des-
troy the ditto. Suggester proposes using a piece of clear
plastic and a grease pencil in lieu of this ditto paper.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 28 March 1958, Chief, RI, stated:
"The subject suggestion has been reviewed in the Records
Integration Division and is considered to be worthy of
adoption, inasmuch as the procedure has been put into
effect.
"An evaluation of the procedure suggested has demonstrated
only a limited advnatage over the previous system. How-
ever, it was considered to be sufficient to install the
procedure. The benefits are considered to be intangible
and at best are of slight benefit with limited extent."

SUGGESTION NO. 58-376: dated 7 March 1958
STATINTL GS-6, Card Punch Supr.
IR, OCR, DD I
A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes that shuttle bus service be extended
to include a stop at the IBM School at 19th & M Sts., N.W. for
employees attending classes at this school.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 21 March 1958, Chief, Business Machines Services,
stated:
"The Agency has employees attending classes at the IBM
school at 19th & M sts. practically every day.
"I do not feel that it would be practical to reroute the
bus to drop the students off at the school, but it would
be a good idea if the bus could drop students off at 18th
& L Sts. on the morning run to 1016 16th St."
On 3 April 1958, Chief, Admin. Staff, OL stated:
"A service as proposed in this suggestion would not be
practical for two reasons:
1. The present bus schedule is now operating near capacity
and the suggested rerouting would throw the entire
shuttle bus schedule out of line which would, in turn,
inconvenience a larger number of employees.
2. The present limitation on manpower and equipment will
not permit expanding the current bus schedule without
a compensating curtailment of service. Experience
has indicated that any such curtailment, or significant
change in schedules, gives rise to numerous complaints
from the employees affected.
"However, the establishment of a flag stop at the Southeast
corner of 18th and L Streets on the regular Northbound bus
trip would be practical and will be done. With this arrange-
ment, the employees attending the IBM School would have only
a short walk to and from classes.

25X1A 25Xf)kGGESTION NO. 58-423: dated 19 March 1958
., GS-6, Mail & File Clerk
A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposed that Headquarters indicate on the pouch
manifest, subsequent to the usual description of the document,
the word "PRIORITY", to enable the individual checking the
material to immediately ascertain whether or not priority
material is in that particular pouch.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 19 March 1958, Chief, FE Division, , stated:
"This suggestion . . . should be quite useful. The priority
indicator on dispatches has not been as successful in speed-
ing up the handling of such dispatches as could be desired.
The inclusion of this information on the manifest should be
a helpful addition."
25X1A On 11 April 1958, Chief, RI, stated:
"The subject suggestion . . . is considered to be worthy of
adoption.
"The savings resulting from the implementation of this sug-
gestion are considered to be intangible in nature and while
the procedure will apply to all field stations, the number
of dispatches forwarded as 'priority' are limited. There-
fore, for award purposes, any benefits are considered to be
slight and of limited application."

A. Summary of Suggestion
GS-7, Secretary
Suggester proposed changing the position of the Abstract
File Slip, attached to Routing and Record Sheets, from the
right to the left hand side of the router, and to start the
"TO" column on line 2 so that that information would not be
covered up by the Abstract File Slip.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 11 April 1958, Chief, RI, stated:
"The subject suggestion... is considered to be worthy of
adoption in part.
"The same problem was encountered in the handling of other
documents in the RI Division and was alleviated through
the adoption of the procedure as submitted, with exception
that the abstracts will continue to be affixed to the
documents in the upper right hand corner. RI will begin
the initial routing in a space directly below the abstract
but will continue to place the abstract in the upper right
hand portion of the document.
"Benefits resulting from this suggestion are considered
to be intangible, of slight benefit and limited application."

mately $148.00.

Intelligence School, OTR,
"...The kind of writing training suggested is n'being
given in some measure in the Writing Workshop course...
