Washington, March 10. - Senator
Pritchard, chairman Of the committee

report Of that committee on the recent

embodying the conclusions of the COM

under two heads. as follows:
"First-That the executive has the
power to make such notifications as
may be found advisable and therefore
no legislation is needed
"Second-The committee Is agreed
that the classification has been too ex-
tensive, and that certain places that
have been classified should be exclud-
ed from classification, SO that appoint
ments mz.s' be made not through exam
ination put at the pleasure of the head
Of the department or bureau.
"The committee, therefore, is Of the
opinion that the President should
make certain notifications In the exist
Ing civil service rules and should re-
store to the heads of departments and
the heads of bureaus the appointment
of certain classes of officials.
"The committee however, recognizes
that Its province in this is purely ad-
visory, hence 1t has no legislation to
