oped over the item of 100000 for en-

sion that the Secretary of Commerce

Friends of the civil service insisted that
this was attack upon the merit syS-
TEN and return to the spoils system.

amendment striking out the provision exc
empting from the civil service eXaminas
ton these attaches His amendment was
agreed to by 80 to %.
