The Honorable
Luther H. Hodges
EXCERPTS FROM AN ADDRESS
by the Secretary of Commerce to The National Civil Service League
We Need First-Class People ...
If we are to endure, and we must, America must
build its strength, not only in its economy and de-
fenses, but in its government which is charged by the
Constitution with the leadership of our national effort.
To do this, we need in the public service the most
able and competent people that this country has to
offer. We cannot have first-class government with
second-class personnel.
How are we going to recruit first-class people for
government if too much of our society thinks of gov-
ernment as a second-class operation? How can we en-
courage able people to accept career assignments if
the reward for honest, able public service is so often
complaint, criticism, abuse and ingratitude?
It seems to me that our business community, par-
ticularly, has a responsibility here. Business, perhaps,
more than any other segment of our society, under-
stands the need for efficient, competent administra
tion and the overwhelming importance of superior
personnel. If you doubt this, take a look at the Sunday
New York Times. The pages of the business section
are filled with recruiting ads seeking top-flight peo-
ple for every manner of job. The recruiting budgets
of some companies today far exceed the amounts
spent for advertising of products or services.
The Business Stake in Civil Service ...
Beyond this, though, business has a direct stake in
the civil service. To begin with, its activities are
strongly affected by government regulation and con-
trol. Whether it delights in controls, which have been
voted by Congress and are supported by most people,
I think, is beside the point. The fact is that it must
live and work with regulations and with such agencies
as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the In-
terstate Commerce Commission, the Food and Drug
Administration, the Wage and Hour Division of the
Department of Labor, and others. Thus it stands to
reason that the sound administration of these agen-
cies is most important to business.
ANNOUNCING ...
Apart from control business, of course, draws vast
and fundamental services from government. Take the
Post Office. And where would business find statistical
guidelines and technical information if it were not for
the Department of Commerce, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and the Department of Agriculture?
Business is also served by the work of the Tariff
Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the
Small Business Administration, and other agencies.
It depends on the government for weather informa-
tion, meat inspection, highway development, air
safety and traffic control, and the protection of
patents and trade marks. And it looks for help in
scientific research and development activities from the
Department of Defense, the Atomic Energy Com-
mission, the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-
istration, and the National Bureau of Standards. The
list goes on and on.
Self-Interest and the Public Service ...
For quite selfish reasons, it seems to me that busi-
ness could and should assume a greater responsibility
than it has for upgrading public understanding of the
quality and importance of the people in government.
I don't mean that it alone should share the burden,
for that belongs to the country as a whole. But it does
have an immediate, identifiable interest in good gov-
ernment.
The cause of good, intelligent government has, of
course, been dear to the heart of the National Civil
Service League for many years. As such, we are all in
its debt. Since 1881, the League has worked continu-
ously to improve and modernize public personnel
management at all levels of government. It has also
sought, through annual Career Service Awards, to
strengthen the prestige of the public service and give
recognition to all faithful government workers. This
has been no meaningless public relations gesture, but
a sincere attempt to meet one of the most serious
problems of America today.

 HO RING THESE PUBLIWSERVANTS. FOR SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONO TO GOOD GOVERWENT
Deputy Commissioner, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Department of
The Interior
Mr. Crow, a native of Salem, Missouri, has re-
ceived outstanding recognition of his service in
the Bureau of Indian Affairs. His thorough
working knowledge of the background and
problems of Indian Administration, accumu-
lated through his 30 years association with it,
has gained him the respect and confidence of
the Bureau, officials of the Department and
other Government Agencies, as well as that
of the Indian people.
As a top administrator in the Bureau of In-
dianAffairs; Mr. Crow's-great-store-of infor-
mation on matters affecting the Indians and
the Bureau, his keen insight into problems
faced, and his wise counsel and leadership
continues to be of inestimable value in ad-
ministration of the various and complex
over-all Bureau programs.
Early research by Dr. DeFrance contributed
materially to the progress and advancement
of American aeronautics. He is an interna-
tionally known authority on wind tunnel de-
sign from Battle Creek, Michigan. He organ-
ized his staff into highly effective research
teams, and he is a distinguished leader in di-
recting basic as well as applied research, first
in subsonic aerodynamics, later in transonic
and supersonic flight problems, and currently
in the varied and complex disciplines involved
in space exploration.
Dr. DeFrance's more than four decades of
service clearly place him in the select circle
of public servants who serve their country with
great zeal and high professional integrity and
ability.
Deputy Administrator, Veterans
Administration
From the very start of his service with Vet-
erans Administration in 1946, "Bill" Driver
has been associated with their important
achievements, and more recently has been
principally responsible for many of them. Dur-
ing this time the VA has progressed to the
front rank of the agencies which are pioneer-
ing in the application of new technological
methods and dynamic in adapting to chang-
ing needs and conditions.
It has been said of him that he shines _best
when the gdin g is toughest. When difficulties
occur, as they are likely to do with pioneering
efforts, his calm courage and dynamic leader-
ship steady the situation and see things through
to a successful conclusion.
Deputy Under Secretary of State for
Political Affairs, Career Minister,
---Department of-State
In rising to his present eminence as the highest
ranking career official in the Department, Am-
bassador Johnson has had a remarkable career
spanning 28 years.
It has been the privilege of this outstanding
Government official from Falun, Kansas, to be
associated with many of the most significant
and successful U. S. foreign policy accomplish-
ments of the past 18 years.
Most recently, U. Alexis Johnson was one of
the small group of dedicated men who were
directly involved in facing the world crisis
posed by Cuba in late '62. He received one
of the coveted silver calendars from President
Kennedy for his performance during the days
of the Cuban crisis. These achievements typify
the daily problems faced by this quiet, able,
tough-minded career diplomat who is wholly
committed to his calling and his country.
JAMES S. LAY, JR.
Executive Secretary, United States In-
telligence Board, Central Intelli-
gence Agency
Mr. Lay began his Government career 22 years
ago as a military intelligence officer with the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and Combined Chiefs of
Staff organizations, gaining through this war-
time experience a deep and lasting appreciation
of the extraordinary value of foreign intelli-
gence in this critical area of our national life.
Later he figured intimately in the staff planning
and initial operation of the interim organiza-
tions which became the National Security Coun-
cil and the Central Intelligence Agency.--
A Washington, D.C. native, Mr. Lay has be-
come recognized as a "pro" by all his associates
in the intelligence community. Mr. Lay's ca-
reer exemplifies in an outstanding manner com-
petence, integrity and dedication to the public
service.
General Counsel, Office of the General
Counsel, Securities and Exchange
Commission
Mr. Loomis' brilliant career over the past 12
years in the Federal service has reflected a rec-
ord of sustained superior performance and the
development of exceptional competence in the
administration of the Federal securities laws,
particularly in the highly sensitive regulatory
area of the organized national securities ex-
changes and the over-the counter markets.
His sense of dedication and devotion is an in-
spiration to young people seeking a legal career
in the Federal Service.
As General Counsel to the Special Study Com-
mittee of the Securities Markets, this native of
Colorado Springs, Colorado was principally re-
sponsible for drafting the legislation which
raises the qualification standards of individuals
entering the securities business and for the ex-
tension of reporting requirements applicable to
listed companies.
Chief of Police, Metropolitan Police
Department
Chief of Police Robert V. Murray completed
twelve years in office in December 1963, more
than seven years in excess of the average in
office of the previous eigtheen chiefs who have
served since the formation of the Department.
He has instituted more than 94 innovations
for the good of the Force and the citizens of
this city, thereby promoting outstanding effi-
ciency and excellent morale on the part of the
personnel as well as providing effective police
services to-the-citizenry- -In-more-than-thirty--
three years as a law enforcement officer, this
native of Havre de Grace, Maryland, has had a
career unusual in its diversification, embodying
experience in practically all ranks in both the
uniformed and plainclothes fields, culminating
as Chief of Police.
Assistant Director, United States
Information Agency
In assignments, both in Washington and
abroad, over the past 22 years, Mr. Schmidt
has displayed unique qualities of leadership,
intellect, political perception, and outstanding
executive ability. In USIA the Director has
relied extensively on Mr. Schmidt's judgment
and experience in his role as the Agency's prin-
cipal administrator and fourth ranking officer
to provide the type of guidance and leadership
that enables USIA to meet its responsibilities
in the field of foreign affairs.
He has a record of sustained, outstanding serv-
ice to the nation. His broad educational and
cultural background, many interests, sym-
pathetic understanding of people, and high
capacity to communicate both orally and in
writing have marked him for leadership.
Deputy Chief and Chief Scientist,
Office of Naval Research, De-
partment of Navy
In 20 years of service, Mr. Weyl has risen to
a key position in the direction of the scientific
program of one of the nation's major Federal
research agencies. This is indicative of his
outstanding capabilities both as a scientist and
an administrator. As a Navy Scientist, this
native of Zurich, Switzerland, has gained emi-
nence in the field of applied mathematics. How-
ever it is in his role of administrator that he i
has had a far-reaching impact on the conduct
-of-the-research-program in- the-Navy.---------
Dr. Weyl's inspiring direction of ONR, and his
readiness and effectiveness in providing assist-
ance to other agencies, mark him as a dedi-
cated career public servant of unusual distinc-
tion.
Regional Commissioner, Internal
- Revenue-Service-
During more than 25 years of Government
Service, Mr. White has specialized in develop-
ing improved field management programs and
practices. Prior to his appointment as Re-
gional Commissioner for the Dallas Region of
the International Revenue Service in 1960, Mr.
White, originally from Memphis, Texas, served
as Special Advisor to the Commissioner of In-
ternal Revenue. In this capacity he was the
prime architect of the 1953 reorganization of
the Internal Revenue Service.
At the request of the Turkish Government, Mr.
White recently headed a mission under the
auspices of AID to survey and recommend im-
provements in tax administration in that nation.
Mr. White combines technical ability, based on
experience, with outstanding administrative and
leadership ability.
"The Board of Directors of the National. Civil Service League is
honored to recognize these ten outstanding public servants for signifi-
cant contributions to the efficiency and quality of government."
