-2= the Bureau should properly be in grade 15 and, of course, Mr. Nathan‘end Mr. Bughed would accordingly be classified in grade 14, Mr. MacFarland in graée 1%. Br. Caldwell also suggests that you confer with Mr. Marshall as soon as possible in a ef- fort to determine the probable decision of the Attorney Gener- @l in this respect and so that our classification sheets may be submitted in due time. A preliminary study of the possibility of classify- ing the eligible portion of the field service in professional grades indicates that we would have some difficulty in classi-~ fying our @en in the professional grades relative to the cler- ical, administrative and fiscal grades which they now occupy. There would, of course, be no difficulty in classifying our Anti-Trust Agents,and a system could be devolved whereby all dgents who are law graduates could be certified from the CAF Classification to the Professional Service upon the completion of a certain apprenticeship mhich would give iba ibe nacassary experience to satisfy the specifications ehich will «micnbtedily ve issued by the Personnel Classification Board in the near fu- ture. The difficuity in this question of classifying the field service, however, rests on the fact that the work of the Bureau is not only highly epecialised, but is unique and G@efies classification according to the existing epeci fications and precedents established by the Personnel Classification Board. A thorough study will be made of this matter in order that we may determine whether or not it will be possible to convert the Personnel Classification soard to our ideas, so that we might maintain eur existing salary ranges ander pro- fessional classification.
