NATIONAL CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE
CAREER SERVICE AWARDS
1. The National Civil Service League's Career Service Awards Program
is one of its major projects in its drive to bring about a healthy, dynamic public
personnel system--a system able to deal constructively with the flood of demands
pressing today on the public service. The League presents ten annual. Career
Service Awards to promote excellence in Government service, to recognize ex-
ceptional achievement, and to encourage the best young minds in America to
consider national service as a career.
2. This year ten outstanding Government servants have been chosen to
receive the National Civil Service League Career Service Award, one of whom
is Colonel Lawrence K. White, USA (Ret.), Executive Director-Comptroller.
In nominating Colonel White, the Director of Central Intelligence said in part,
". . . if ever a man has left a lasting mark on an organization, 'Rod' White
has . . . he was the principal architect of the Agency's management structure,
and having designed it, he built it . . . . No man of CIA has made a greater or
what will be a more lasting contribution . . . . "
3. So that all employees may learn of the truly outstanding background
and career progression of Colonel White, the following biographical information
is presented:
Colonel White enjoyed a long and successful career in the
Army before entering the field of intelligence land received
the following military honors: Distinguished service Cross, Silver
Star Medal, Legion of Merit with Oakleaf Cluster, Bronze Star
Medal with Oakleaf Cluster, Navy Commendation Ribbon, Purple
Heart, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign
Medal, Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal with two Bronze Battle
Stars, Philippine Liberation Ribbon with Bronze Battle Star, and
the Combat Infantry Badge. The honors and decorations given to
him for meritorious service and bravery during World War II and

the high esteem in which he is held in the Central Intelligence
Agency and the United States intelligence community are evidence
that "Red" White has a position of prominence among men and
women who have made unique contributions to the maintenance
and strengthening of our national security.
Colonel White began his career in intelligence with the

served as Assistant to the Deputy Director for Administration
from 1952 until 1954 when he was appointed by Allen W. Dulles,
then Director of Central Intelligence, as Deputy Director for
Administration--a position now designated as Deputy Director
for Support. In July 1965 Admiral Raborn, the Director of
Central Intelligence at that time, appointed Colonel White as
Executive Director-Comptroller, the Agency's top executive-
management position which had been created in 1962.

WASHINGTON-The Na-
tional Civil Service League
has picked the 10 winners of
its 1969 awards for outstand-
ing public service. This is
the 15th year for the awards pro-
gram.
The winners come from a vari-
ety of career fields. Their
achievements range from health
services work to improvement in
aviation safety. They have parti-
cipated in projects as earthly as
the retirement of silver certifi-
cates, and as spatial as sending
astronauts to the moon.
The recipients include an am-
bassador, a scientist, a security
specialist and a master of finan-
cial management.
While the reasons for the se-
lections are varied, there are
several common characteristics
among the winners. All have
lengthy civil service careers,
with the average running about
25 years. Most began at low-
level jobs and worked their
way up.
The winners are natural lead-
ers. They demonstrated this trait
in their school years and con-
tinued it through their careers.
Clearly evident has been an
ability to deal with people at all
levels in the political and eco-
nomic spectrum. The winners
are versatile and have moved
freely between staff and field po-
sitions.
Here, in alphabetical order, are
the 1969 winners, together with
a summary of the reasons why
they received the award:
EDWARD J. BLOCH has had a
26-year career in the nation's
atomic energy program. Since
joining the Manhattan Project-
a wartime ancestor of the Atomic
Energy Commission, he has held
positions of progressively greater

responsibility during an era when
AEC grew increasingly complex.
His public service spans a pe-
riod of 37 years. He began as a
surveyman in the Corps of Engi-
neers in St. Louis.
In 1951 he became director of
the new Division of Construction
and Supply, where he presided
over the design, engineering and
construction phases of AEC's
rapid expansion.
The cost of AEC facilities
constructed during the 1950s
was about $4 billion. The con-
struction activities Bloch super-
vised were so vast at their peak
in 1954 that they totaled $120
million per month, or about 5
per cent of the estimated
monthly construction expendi-
ture of the entire nation.
In his present role as deputy
general manager, which he has
filled since 1964, he serves as
executive vice president for the
agency. He backs up the general
manager in the day-to-day opera-
tion of the headquarters and 10
field offices.
AEC operates on an annual
budget of $2.5 billion. Its physi-
cal plant is valued at more than
$9 billion. Program employment
-including AEC and its prime
contractors-totals some 130,000.
Bloch is held in such great
esteem by his colleagues that in
1966 he was awarded the AEC
Distinguished Service Award. the
highest honor his agency can be-
stow on an employe.
JOHN K. CARLOCK, fiscal as-
sistant secretary of the Treasury,
has consistently demonstrated the
finest qualities hoped for in gov-
ernment career service. He has
served the nation for more than
29 years.
From 1941 until 1962 he ren-
dered outstanding service as an
attorney for the Treasury. He
rose to assistant general counsel
for the department in 1950 and
held this position until 1962. The
Federal Bar Association named
him the outstanding career law-
yer in the federal government in
1962.
That same year he was named
to his present job, which took
him out of the field of law into a
major managerial role in domes-
tic and international financial
matters.
Under his leadership the
three bureaus of the fiscal serv-
ice of the department were
able to reduce manpower needs
by 20 per cent, despite a 50
per cent increase in workload.
A noteworthy program carried
out under his supervision was the
retirement of silver certificates.
This required extensive planning,
policy decisions, and the develop-
ment of enabling legislation to
make possible a smooth transi-
tion.
Carlock is described "as a man
of towering intellect and common
sense, respected by the men he
serves and the people who work
under him."
In 1964 he received the Treas-
ury Department's exceptional
Service Award for his "outstand-
ing contributions to effective and
efficient management of the mani-
fold fiscal operations of the de-
partment."
MILLARD CASS began his
government career in 1941 as an
attorney for the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
In 1941 he moved to the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board and
in 1945 became the legal assist-
ant to the General Counsel.
His rise after that was rapid.
In 1946 he was assistant to the
assistant secretary of labor. By
1950 he was a special assistant
to the secretary of labor. In 1955
Cass became the deputy under-
secretary, the post he now holds.
His public service has won
him recognition from many
sources. In 1955 he received
the Arthur S. Flemming Award
for outstanding federal service.
In 1960 he won the Department
of Labor's Distinguished Serv-
ice Award, and in 1966 the
Rockefeller Public S e r v i c e
Award.
Cass has represented the sec-
retary of labor in serving on
many committees. These range
from the Advisory Committee on
Studies of Natural Disasters to
the Alaskan Centennial Inter-
Agency Committee.
He periodically serves as visit-
ing lecturer at the University of
Virginia Law School, and he also
is a contributor to numerous
legal, government, labor and
management publications.
DR. KURT H. DEBUS had a
major part in the development of
the nation's spaceport at the Ken-
nedy Space Center in Florida.

Germany, rocket operations cen-
ter.
He began his U.S. government
career in 1945 as a member of
the Army's Ballistic Missile De-
velopment Team at Fort Bliss,
Texas.
In 1950 the Army moved him
to Redstone Arsenal in Alabama
when Huntsville became the focal
point for the Army's ballistic
missile program.
In his present post D e b u s
heads a government-i n d u s t r y
working community of some 25,-
000 scientific, engineering and
management personnel.
He has been personally re-
sponsible for many of the ad-
vances in launch technology.
Under his guidance have been
more than 150 s u c c e s s f u l
launches. These included the
first satellite in the free world,
the first mannea launch, and
the first manned orbit of the
moon.
Numerous honors have recog-
nized his unique accomplish-
ments. He holds the Army's high-
est civilian decoration, the Ex-
ceptional Service Medal, and
NASA's distinguished s e r v i c e
medal.
MARSHALL GREEN has a ca-
reer of more than 20 years as a
foreign service officer.
In a series of difficult assign-
ments he has proved him a most
able diplomat. He has eliminated
nettlesome problems with solu-
tions favorable to the U n i t e d
States.
In 1965 he was appointed am-
bassador to Indonesia, at a time
when our relations with that
country were at an all-time low.
Despite harassment by the In-
donesian government and some
political groups, he was able to
restore good relations.
Profound changes came to
South Korea in 1961. Green, as
deputy chief of our mission in
Seoul, was influential in preserv-
ing the stability of our coopera-
tive arrangement with that coun-
try.
Green served as U.S. Consul
General in Hong Kong and be-
came an expert on Communist
China. His knowledge of Far
Eastern affairs has caused him
to be detailed to Paris for the
Vietnam talks, while, continu-
ing as ambassador to Indonesia.
In all of his tasks he has used
his insights into human behavior
to help him solve complex for-
eign policy problems and his
sense of humor has helped him
extricate himself from many diffi-
cult situations.

RAYMOND A. IOANES joined
the Agriculture Department as a
GS-3 trainee in 1940, just after
finishing college. By 1943 he was
supervisor of federal food relief
operations in Washington State.
In the World War II period he
held important posts in the field
of food supply management with
both the department and the
military government in Germany.
loanes served as chief of food
rationing in Germany.
He was named deputy adminis-
trator of the Foreign Agricul-
tural Service in 1957 and admin-
istrator in 1962.
He directs far-flung complex
operations that affect the well-
being of millions in the U.S.
and foreign countries. By his
efforts to expand our agricul-
tural exports, loanes has in-
creased earnings for farmers,
produced more jobs and im-
proved the U.S. balance of
payments. He also has reduced
the threat of starvation for mil-
lions in Asia, Africa and Latin
America.
Ile has kept close watch on
economic growth in countries re-
ceiving U.S. food aid. Through
his efforts the countries are be-
coming self-sufficient, changing
from aid recipients into commer-
cial customers.
IRVING J. LEWIS was named
deputy administrator of Health
Services and Mental Health Ad-
ministration in HEW in May,
1968.
He began his career as a per-
sonnel specialist in the Office of
Price Administration in 1942.
From there he went to the Bu-
reau of the Budget where he
sharpened his understanding of
key domestic and international
issues. Among other duties, he
participated in staff work for the
Hoover Commission.
His work in the field of trans-
portation helped bring about a
new Washington airport and ma-
terially revised highway legisla-
tion.
In 1957 Lewis helped to de-
velop legislation and secure funds
for U.S. participation in the Brus-
sels World Fair.
In 1965, with domestic social
programs growing at a r a p i d
rate, he was given a key role in
the staff of the Bureau of the
Budget concerned with this field.
He organized the health and
welfare division to create the
first focus in the executive
branch on the overview of all
major health functions. As
chief of this division, then as
deputy assistant director of the
bureau, Lewis was influential
in the reorganization of HEW
health functions.
In his present job he has in-
creased the effectiveness of the
health service system to the
point where it is most needed,
service to the recipient.
JOSEPH J. LIEBLING is direc-
tor of security policy for the De-
partment of Defense. As the sen-
ior department official in the se-
curity field, he is the defense
secretary's principal adviser on
military and civilian personnel
security programs and frequently
deals with cabinet and sub-cab-
inet officials in the development
of security policies.
He began his career in 1941
as an assistant messenger. He
currently is a GS-18.
In 1943 he became the first
civilian charged with the security
evaluation of military informa-
tion intended for public release.
In 1946 he introduced a pro-
gram for the security classifica-
tion of military technical develop-
ments-a program which con-
tinues in use today.
In 1948 he directed the down-
grading and declassification of
much vital scientific data. This
aided business, science and in-
dustry.
Liebling conducted a study
in which he recommended a
more liberal policy for the ex-
change of information with the
NATO nations. This led to a
revision of the National Dis-
closure Act in 1957.
In the often controversial field
of security, he has functioned
as an effective balance in main-
taining the government's national
security interests while at the
same time protecting the rights
of the individual.
GEORGE S. MOORE has seen
aviation activity grow at a re-
markable rate in this nation dur-
ing the past three decades. He
has kept pace with that growth
and made a major contribution
to it.
As associate administrator for
operations of the Federal Avia-
tion Administration, he oversees
the four operating services of
the FAA.

Nearly 80 per cent of the
agency's 45,000 employes are
listed on the rolls of these four
services.
The safety of the nation's air
travelers rests to a great extent
on the skill and expertise with
which he does his job.
His outstanding career in the
federal government began in
1941 as an aviation cadet in the
Navy. He served as a Naval
aviator for four years d u r i n g
World War II.
In 1945 he joined the Civil
Aeronautics Administration,
predecessor to the FAA. He rose
through the ranks to his present
position.
Moore recognized the legal
complexities of his enforce-
ment responsibilities. He en-
rolled in night school and
earned a law degree, while at
the same time maintaining high
standards of accomplishment in
his daily work.
He provides leadership and in-
spiration to safety experts and
research people throughout gov-
ernment and industry. The result
is improved aviation safety.
LAWRENCE K. WHITE saw
service as a young officer in
World War H. Col. White served
in combat in the South and
Southwest Pacific until he was
seriously wounded in 1945 while
leading troops in the Philin-
pines. He was retired STAT
after two years of hospita iza ion.
central intelligence organization STAT
in the history of the United
States.
In 1965 he was named execu-
tive director-comptroller of the
agency, the post he holds today.
In this position he is the third in
this agency chain of command.
CIA director Richard Helms
says of White: ". . . in 40 years
of public service he has devel-
oped to an unusual degree the
abilities and understanding
which enable him to contribute
immeasurably to the achieve-
ment of this agency's objec-
tive and thereby to the secu-
rity of the nation."
Here is a man who has given
not one, but two careers to his
country, and done an outstand-
ing job in both of them.

GOES "CROSS COUNTRY"
The chairman called their names, and one by
one, three young men came to stand at the front of the
stage. They stood at ease as an audience of more than
1,000 applauded, and their mayor read citations of
award to them.
The mayor told who they are, and what kind of
people they are. They are area youth workers. They
work long "on call" hours, sometimes 24 hours at a
stretch. They had been shot or beaten in the line of duty,
and each had now returned to work. They are civil ser-
vants.
Mayor James H. J. Tate called them forward,
along with 13 other top city employees for honor at an
awards luncheon which took place recently in Philadel-
phia.
As each winner stepped forward, and his citation
was read, it was clear that he had served his city in dra-
nmatic, useful ways.
Some of the winners' acts were extraordinary. A
park policeman saved a drowning boy. A community
worker started and carried out a health fair. But every
winner was renowned, too, for his day to day superior
performance.
As the winners stepped into the spotlight, their
mayor gave them a citation and a savings bond, and
NCSL Vice President Bernard L. Gladieux presented
them with our regional awards certificate.
For the occasion marked one of the first of a
dozen awards programs in which the League is playing
a major role. In pursuance of its expanded awards proj-
ect-funded by a $100,000 grant from the Ford Foun-
dation - the League is sponsoring awards programs
across the nation for career civil servants.
The programs vary greatly. In Philadelphia, an
awards program honoring city employees has been un-
derway since the mid-1950's. There, the NCSL's contri-
bution will go mainly toward deepening that program's
impact. The League has sponsored a series of television
spots featuring award-winning city employees on the job.
The League's purpose is to promote the tradi-
tional aims of the Career Service Awards Program. . .
a program of 15 years standing. Those aims are to re-
ward and encourage excellence in public service as well
as to bring favorable public attention to the public serv-
ice, and to influence able youth to build service careers.
In addition, however, a major purpose of the regional
awards project is to honor "front line" public employees
serving in urban crisis areas.
Consequently, in the Washington, D, C. program,
the "stars" will be personnel who contributed signifi-
cantly during and after the 1968 urban disturbances and
the "Poor Peoples Campaign." The League and the Dis-
trict government are cooperating to present a half-hour
program to appear on a network television station. Shots
of the winners on the job, as well as the awards lunch-
eon will make up the television program.
And in Denver, the awards presentation will be
integrated with the Job Information Center's work to
find careers in l,,e pudic service for the disadvantaged.
A 1969 banquet and Sunday supplement newspaper
format are planned. League partners in the project in-
clude the federal, state and Denver city governments,
along with the Chamber of Commerce, a private foun-
dation, and the Job Information Center.
This summer is the time scheduled for Chicago's
program in which city, state, county, public authority
and federal governments will participate. The mayor has
invited chairmen and presidents of Chicago-based na-
tional corporations to take part and to help finance the
program. They will work with an established committee
in the public employee selection process, as well, and
expect to honor a private citizen for his contributions
to good government.
The League's New England affiliate in Boston,
CAPS, (Citizens for the Advancement of the Public
Service) expanded its 1969 awards program to include
it broader base of civic, organizational and governmental
participation. Television viewers throughout New Eng-
land will see the spots featuring the award winners-
from federal, state and city agencies-at their work.
Arizona has scheduled a Superior Service Awards
program and banquet for this year. In that state, federal,
state, county, city, university, association and private
civic leaders have established a budget, and developed
a selection committee.
The California program-with the endorsement
of Governor Ronald Reagan who has assigned a depart-
mental Secretary to work with the League-has developed
a budget for a major event to take place this year. Two
former Governors of California are giving leadership to
a newly organized League of Merit in Government,
under whose aegis the awards program may take place.
The League affiliate, the Louisiana Civil Service
League, is planning a new 1969 version of the awards
program it has conducted since 1959. State and city
employees were the honorees at the 1968 Awards lunch-
eon which attracted more than 200 attendees.
The New Mexico Distinguished Public Service
Awards Council-organized in 1968-plans a series of
statewide programs honoring public employees for 1969.
Additionally, the council expects to reward a private
citizen. Council members include representatives of the
governor, the federal government, city governments, the
Association of Counties, university and civic leaders and
the Municipal League. Following awards presentations
at the local level-12 awards from about 50 participat-
ing jurisdictions - a special event for the winners will
take place at the state capital.
City, county and federal executives in St. Louis
have set up a committee to integrate and augment sev-
eral existing programs, and conduct a single area wide
event by early 1970.
The Pennsylvania League for Civil Service-an
N CSL affiliate - - set up a new category of awards to
recognize the civil servant who helped create career
public employment opportunities-under the merit sys-
tem-for the disadvantaged.
Outstanding civil servants in personnel work will
be among those rewarded in the League's program with
the Public Personnel Association. At the PPA annual

 international conffi eov sF3%~PlR 9XR6618 : CJ%dWep~41i0Al1 W?P'1q~3.?o8offer such advice
troit in October-the NCSL will honor outstanding per-
sonnel people; civil servants, generally, and civil servants
from the Michigan and Detroit areas. Additionally a
special category will be established for civil servants
from other nations (Canada, as a beginning).
Clearly, 1969 and 1970 will see some excellent
awards programs presented around the country. In help-
ing to form the programs, the League has looked to the
local leaders to develop the format, program content
and timing. The League has relied on the local commit-
tees to invest the staff and resources needed beyond the
"seeding" of the Ford Foundation.
Perhaps most importantly, however, the League
anticipates that the committees will continue such
awards projects as a vital part of their community life.
Then the intent and the promise of the awards program
will be fulfilled.
ACTIAN ~ NDAS
The following capsules highlights the National
Civil Service League's action program for 1969.
Major Program Emphasis
THE URBAN CRISIS AND THE PUBLIC SERVICE. The
NCSL is deeply engaged in three areas that go to the
heart of urban crises issues. These concern public em-
ployment of the disadvantaged; strengthening and mak-
ing more effective the delivery of federally financed
public services; and encouraging excellence in public
employment.
Public Employment and the Disadvantaged. With
a multi-agency (Labor, OEO, HUD) grant, the NCSL
will stimulate employment of the disadvantaged under
merit principles at state-local levels. We will conduct
"state of the art" research calling on the guidance of a
prestigious Task Force; produce technical assistance
publications on how the disadvantaged can productively
fill some of 5.3 million new public jobs expected in the
next few years; offer technical assistance and policy
guidance to state-local governments; analyze and seek
ways to coordinate the dozens of federal programs offer-
ing aid in this area; and mount a major national con-
ference of leaders on implementing both a model pro-
gram and a revised NCSL Model Civil Service Law
(which remains the basis of nearly every civil service
system in the United States).
Intergovernmental Manpower Improvement. The
mushrooming of federally aided programs to help cities
and states meet urgent public problems has created a
genuine "crisis of competence" in the staffing and man-
agement of these programs. Senator Edmund S. Muskie
has introduced the "Intergovernmental Personnel Act
of 1969," (S 11), which seeks to strengthen state-local
personnel systems; aid recruiting; staffing; training; and
provide closer cooperation among governments. This
legislation, if passed, can achieve much in making fed-
erally supported urban crisis programs more effective,
more efficient, and more relevant to the communities
they serve. On March 24 we testified on this legislation,
and counsel as is appropriate.
Recognizing Excellence in Public Service. Under
a Ford Foundation grant, the NCSL is also tackling the
third dimension of the public service role in urban prob-
lems-that of enhancing the quality and prestige of pub-
lic service by recognizing outstanding civil servants for
significant contributions. A dozen programs, each
awarding federal, state,.local employees, are now being
mounted and conducted from coast to coast.
ELIMINATING POSTAL PATRONAGE. Since 1881, the
League has fought for inclusion of postmasters and rural
letter carriers in the merit system. Our most recent
Policy Statement was an important factor in Senate
passage of such legislation. Last year we testified in the
House. We have endorsed the President's recent stand
and have offered our help to Postmaster General Win-
ton M. Blount and Civil Service Commission Chairman,
Robert E. Hampton.
FEDERAL CAREER SERVICE AWARDS. Our famous and
prestigious awards program now enters its 15th year.
Awardees were selected from the nominations sent by
agency heads. President Dwight D. Eisenhower initiated
the practice of lending Presidential support to the career
services by meeting with the recipients, a practice fol-
lowed by Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. John-
son and Richard M. Nixon.
Continuing Work
The League is continuing its work on many
other fronts of concern to our nation and our civil serv-
ices. Some of the key areas are:
SUPPORT FOR AND WORK WITH THE U. S. CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSION. Since Theodore Roosevelt left leadership
of the League to become U. S. Civil Service Commis-
sion Chairman, we have worked with and offered assis-
tance to every Chairman. We are continuing our rela-
tionship as nonpartisan advisors and supporters.
LABOR RELATIONS IN GOVERNMENT. This issue is one of
the thorniest and most controversial problems facing
public service today. Since 1919, the League has been
on the forefront of this issue, offering guidance, issuing
Policy Statements, helping citizens, governments and
organizations. Following the credits we received for our
help with Executive Order 10988, we foresaw the need
for further guidance and began initiating studies. The ex-
plosion of public employee strikes across the nation has
prompted our Board to review and update our major
Policy Statement of 1960 on governmental labor rela-
tions. We are now in that process, and are continuing
our counselling work with governments, citizens, organ-
izations.
POLITICAL ACTIVITY OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES. The Con-
gressional- Presidential Commission that completed its
study and made recommendations in 1967 called on the
League for assistance, which we freely gave. Many of
our views were incorporated in the Commission's rec-
ommendations. We endorsed most of its findings and
supported Congressional efforts for reform.We widely
circulated the Commission's findings, housed its files,
and have made them available for use by any who so
desire. We stand ready to help further if called upon.

Editor's Note
Government careers are not what they used to be-if they ever
were. But still the image of government workers as time-serving
paper pushers or uninspired drudges hovers drearily in the minds
of many. "Bureaucrat" continues to be a word guaranteed to
arouse strong feelings on all sides. This inaccurate, unfair image
must not he perpetuated. Today's civil servant is a person of
high quality in a worthwhile career.
That is why the League considers its yearly Career Service
Awards Program to be one of its most important ventures. Since
1955, via this awards project, we have built bridges of under-
standing and communication between the public and the civil
servant.
This is a vital undertaking in this day when demand for
public service grows at such a tremendous clip. Naturally, the
additional or expanded areas of public service require not just
more funds. but the time and talent of the ablest personnel.
Consequently, we have designed the League's Career Serv-
ice Awards Program to bring public attention and appreciation
to the needs of the public service, and to encourage able youth
to build public service careers. Additionally, the program offers
reward and encouragement-not only to the ten winners named
each year-but to the thousands of other competent civil servants
they represent.
The Career Service Awards Program is a truly citizen effort.
I t is fortunate in receiving the enthusiastic support of the Fed-
cal Times newspaper, the Howard Johnson Foundation, and the
Hamilton Watch Co. as well as the dozens of other national
corporations and foundations and friends of the League who
have given their funds, time, attention and counsel.
Just a little more than a year ago, the League announced
that the awards program would not only continue, but would
expand-funded through a Ford Foundation grant of $100,000.
This year we proudly announce the dozen awards program in
progress around the country. They are connected with our new
regional awards program.
