Lifset Expected To Get $26,000 Post With State By CHARLES DUMAS ALBANY, N.Yl (AP)-Former Assemblyman Harvey M. Lifset of Albany has been chosen by Gov. Rockefeller for a highly- coveted, seat on the State Civil Service Commission, it was reported Thursday night. Well-posted sources said the Republican governor would appoint Lifset to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Alexander A. Falk of Margaretville.

By law. the governor must name a Democrat to the seat, because only two of the three members of the commission may be Republicans. The other members are Mrs. Ersa H. Pnston of Loudonville and Michael N.

Scelsi of Manhattan, Republicans. Lifset was chairman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee from 1966 through 1968 when the Assembly was under Democratic control. He was defeated by Republican Fred Field in his bid for re-election last November. Since Falk, a Democrat, announced his retirement, a variety of prominent Democrats across the state have been bidding for the commission seat. The post is valued not only for its high salary but because it requires only part-lime service.

Lifset thus will be able to continue his -law practice while serving on the commission. The commission administers state laws governing its work force and serves as the policy making authority for the State Civil Service Department. The sources said Rockefeller would announce Lifset's appointment next week. He will fill a six-year term beginning Feb. 1.

Lifset, 32, had strong support for the appointment from the Albany County Democratic organization, heae'rd by Daniel O'Connell. A decorated paratroop veteran of World ar two, Lifset entered the Assembly in 1957 and served through last December. He was chosen by Anthony J. Travia, then speaker of for the Ways and Means post at the outset of the 1966 legislative session. Rockefeller was said to have decided on Lifset for the Civil' Service post after having become favorably impressed with Lifsct's 'abilities during their discussions of fiscal and government affairs over the period of his service as Ways and Means chairman.

White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Nixon is 'moving ahead on developing his thoughts and getting further recommendations" on his proposal that the Selective Service System eventually be' eliminated. The White House announcement indicated a shift from' the position Nixon took during his presidential campaign: "That when the war in Vietnam is over the draft should be ended," Instead the White House spoke of moving to a volunteer armed force after Vietnam ex- nenditures are substantially cut.

Inefficient During the campaign, Nixon said the draft is not an efficient system for obtaining manpower in a time when conventional war is unlikely. He said if war comes in the future it is more ifceiy to be guerrilla or a nuclear exchange. Nixon said last Oct. 17 that he total cost of pay raises needed to attract an all volunteer army would be S5 billion to S7 billion a year, but he said this would he increasingly offset by savings due to a reduction in the turnover of military manpower.
