The New Administration

Washington, y. c., March 12.-With
the incoming of new administration.
the American Legion is keenly alive
to the duty Of protecting all ex.servIce
men and women In the government
employ under the civil service and also
to the possibility Of increasing the
number OF veterans in government
service. according TO John Thomas
Taylor, vice chairman of the National
Legislature Committee of the Legion.
AT present, only about one-twentieth
of those in the civil service. 10000
out OF 1000. are veterans. This con
dition exists, Alr. Taylor points out.
in spite Of the fact that $1,000 ex-
service persons have sought govern
ment jobs 10000 Of them passed the
examinations and measured up TO all
requirements and 10000 have been
recommended or certified for appoint.
ment by the civil service.
The law requires the civil service
| commission To submit the names Of
three eligibes for each appointment,
to be made including the eX.service
person making the highest mark, and
ieaves the appointment OF one OF the
three to the head Of the executive de
partment. The fact that in 10000 out
Of $4,000 cases, the department heads
have preferred civilians to veterans is
not at all satisfactory to the legion. ac
cordng to Mr.. Taylor, who adds that
the national legislative committee In
tends to see that a better showing Is
made in the future.

In memory of Jerry Grafton
Sass, our late companion and

A noble character was embod-
led in Jerry and one the world

and death are things that God
must choose.
Whenever our friends and low
cd ones are called away, there
are always loving attributes and
beautiful words to comfort those
left behind, but, those which have
been paid Jerry are so indicative of
the respect and love which every
one bore him, as to seem unusual
Yet seldom is the world bles-
sed with a young man who pos
sessed so many virtues and admir-
able traits. Above all, he was
manly in every sense of the word
An admirer of every form Of ath-
letics. and an active participant
in several, he was real mans
man.
Nor was this the only side OF
his u for those who knew him
best Hlow how free his life was
from anything disgraceful. His
great pride was in the fact that
he was not ashamed to face his
mother nor had he ever given her
any cause for worry.
Everything he undertook was ac'
complished with no small degree
OF success and his ability along 81
| many lines was remarkable.
