not yet been developed. Mr.. Dague
has been faithful employee OF the Gov

charge against him that would justify

The fact is that Civil Service Reform
is a mighty fine thing in theory, but it
loses its beauty when the practical
enforcing of it keeps the fingers OF a
political friend and supporter out OF
