army v. civil service. both want the best. The relative importance of clerks in the ATmy and the Civil Servicb was the subject of discussion in three appeals for the release of men in camp, lodged by the National Service Department before the Auckland Armed Services Appeal Board. The men were f. w. Maslin, r. c. Cooper, and m. j. b. Somerville, who were required to undertake official office work covering the formation of various utilisation committees in industry, For the Army, Lieut. Hart said that Somerville had an important Army position as a blood -grouper, while Maslin was a pay clerk. "It appears that the department wants to take all the efficient clerks from the Army and leave the inefficent ones in it," he said. The Army should have the best clerks available. The Crown representative, Mr l. n. Harris: If your suggestion were followed to a logical conclusion, there would soon be no Civil Service. Decision in each of the three cases was reserved.
