Efficiency First in
 Choice POstnastefs
President Harding to Give Ad- ministration Free Hand in
 Judgment of Applicant

Washington, May 10.-CiviI service N strictions governing the choice of post- masters were modified by President Harding today to give the administra- tion a freer hand ill exercising it's own judgment in regard to the qualifications of applicants.
 In an executive order affecting ap- proximately thirteen thousand postoffices of the first, second and third classes, the president authorized the selection of any one of the first three on the eligible list as determined by open competitive examinations. Under an order of Pres ident Wilson, the executive could exer- else no such choice, but was required to appoint the applicant standing at the head of the list.
 In making the order public MT. Hard ing issued a statement saying that the new arrangement had been decided on l because it would permit such clements as business training and experience to figure in the selection of postmasters and would not stake the choice merely on a | rcloistered, scholastic examination which might result in a high grade in theory, but not a guaranty of efficiency in fact
 The president also pointed out that choice anon gthe first three already i is permitted for fourth class postmaster ships under permanent civil service reg ulations as fixed by law. He expressed the hope that congress would extend these permanent regulations to all post masterships by bringing them under the classified civil service.
 Today's action was the first important step taken by the new administration ir regard to the general problem of patron age. and is understood to have been de cided on after extended conferences be tween the president Postmaster Genera Hays and other high administration of ficials It has been forecast as par of the postoff1ce reorganization plan un
