Washington, July Although the bill has
been signed less than six hours. there is already d
question regarding its interpretation and serious
presented in support of the proposition
that Congress failed Of its purpose when it at
tempted to make II imperative that persons to be
eligible to appointment from a given state must
have been residents of that state for year. The
law says plainly that such person must have been
an actual resident OF the for the year pre-
cedng the examination and must take the ex-
animation in that state. But another law on the
statutes preseribes what shall constitute n legal
resident and the Civil Service Commissioners are
wondering II in their Interpretation OF the term
actual they not bound by that definition
There is doubt. OF course. that Senator Me
Curnber who framed the amendment regarding

residence but they did say that In the law.
Attention also called tine fact that II the
