Wants Dry Agents
Under Civil Service

Nationwide changes in the pro-
hibition enforcement bureau are
scheduled in the so-called Sterling
measure which was reported out of
the Civil Service Committee yester-
day with the recommendation to the
Senate that it be passed. The bill
places employees of the bureau under
civil service and directs that new
employees shall be received only
after qualifying by examination.
Under the Volstead act prohibi.
tion agents were exempt from civil
service. The new measure would
amend the act SO as to have the
prohibition bureau subject to the
same laws as other Government
bureaus.
Only twelve executive offices in
the central office a: Washington
and five in each prohibition dis
trict are left open to appointment.
Present employees will be given
civil service status by the hill and
will not have to pass an examina-
ton.
