Oct. 21 cial) Present methods of testing used by the Civil Service Commission 'were defended by Civil Service officials during a 90-minute conference in the ofof Mayor Joseph F. Morelli Monday. Called after reports last week that the New Britain Veterans Council was seeking Common Council approval of inquiry into Civil Service testing, the conference did produce agreement to seek one change in present testing methods. But the mayor made it plain, and Erwin A.

Lustig, president of the Veterans Council, agreed, that there has been no apparent violations of the city's Merit Act. Lustig announced Monday night he would call a special meeting of the Veterans Council to report on Monday's conference. He sald the replies appeared to be satisfactory to him. During the session in the mayor's office. Civil Service Commission Chairman Ernest V.

Carpino agreed, at the request of Lustig. to ask his commission to approve a rule change which will require that candidates in future, testing be referred to by number only when introduced to members of oral examination Chairman Critical The Civil Service Commission The Civil Service Commission chairman, however, was sharply critical of the Veterans Council action, calling it a "witch and asserted the council officers should have come directly to the commission chairman Personnel Director Anthony OF. Campione. Lustig, who attended the conference with City Veterans Commissioner Leo J. Melowicz, protested that the Vetrans Council had made an unsuccessful attempt to contact the commisa that sion the some council's years ago action was inand denied a request for an In reply to queries from Lustig concerning Civil Service exlamination procedures, the personnel director made these points: Only he and his secretary have access to the examination questions before a test; the questions are assembled by them from a list of questions received from a Chicago source: the examinations are conducted as speedily as possible: examinsituation weights in the Police and Fire departments have been unchanged they were made standard by a commission vote in 1954 and that veterans' credits.

by statute, are added "to the final grade. Cites Unavoidable Delay The personnel director pointed out that in some instances there are unavoidable delays between the period of the written phase to and the oral portion of an examination and offered, as a case in point, the. present police. sergear.ts* promotion examination. The written portion was given about two weeks ago, he said, and these papers are still uncora Trected because the Service staff has been required to devote its entire time recently in handling details incidents to a re of classification of all city positions.

At least two more weeks may at elapse, the personnel director said, before the written test corrected and the oral examinations held. The personnel director 'emphasized that he has no other recourse, under the Merit Act, than to add veteran's points to the firal examination grade. He (made this clear after Lustig -claimed that he had complaints that examination candiIts, said they did receive dates, entitled to veteran's, cred-' them. As the session broke up, both the personnel director and the Civil Service Commission chairman accepted invitations to attend the Veterans Council installation ceremonies on Dec. 7 and agreed to discuss Civil Service testing at- the exercises.
