Oct 21 (Spe cial) Present methods of testing used by the Civil Service Commission were defended by Civil Service officials during a 90-minute conference in the office of Mayor Joseph F. Morelli late Monday. called alter reports last weeic that the New Britain Veterans Council was seeking Common council approval ot an inquiry into Civil Service testing, the conference did produce agree ment to eje 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 Merit Act Lustig announced Mohda.y night he would call a special meeting ot the Veterans Council to report on Monday's conference. He said the replies ap peared to be satisfactory to htm.

During tne session in me 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 candi dates in future, testing be re ferred to by number only when introduced to memoers oi oral examination panels. Chairman Critical The Civil Service Commission chairman, however, was sharply critical of the Veterans Coin- cil action, enlllnc it a wttcn hunt" and asserted the council officers should have come di rectly to the commission chairman or Personnel Director An thony F. Campione.

Lustig, 'who attended the conference with City Veterans Com missioner Leo Melowicz. protested that the Vetrans Coun cil had made an unsuccessful attempt to contact the commis sion some years ago ana denied that the council's action was intended as a request for an 'in vestigation. In reply to queries from Lus tig concerning Civil service ex amination procedures, tne per sonnel director made these points: Only he and his secre tary have access to the examination questions before a test; the questions are assembled by them from a list of questions re ceived from a Chicago source the examinations are conducted as speedily as possible: examination weights in the Police and Fire departments have been un-i changed since they were made standard by a commission' vote in ixh ana tnat veterans ere-, dits. 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 and tne oral portion ot an examination and offered, as a case in point, the.

present, police, promotion The written portion was given about two weeks ago. ne said, and these papers are still uncor- rected because the Civil Service staff has been required to devote its entire time recently in hand ling detiils incidents to a re classification of all city positions.
