WANTS POSTMASTERS
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
Secretary of Reform League Urges
Committee to Remove Places
From Patronage List

H. W. Marsh of New York Serre-
tary of the National Civil Service Re
form League, who was the principal
witness before the House civil service
committee today. when hearings We're
started on q series OF bills To bring
presidential postmasterS within the
requirements of the civil service law.
as recommended by President Coolidge
in his annual message, described the
purpose as follows:
TO remove these places from the
realm of political patronage. II Con
greSS is not able to face that issue
frankly and openly it is not ready TO
deal properly with any of these bills. :
Certain members of Congress who
firmly believe that post office patron
age is necessary TO keep the political
organization alive We're bitterly criti-
ciZed by Mr.. Marsh, who pointed out
that this attitude was typified by
statement he said was made to him
by Representative Hamilton Fish. Re
publican, of New York. that he could
not keep his orga niZation together If
he could not control the appointment
of postmaSterS in his district.
Mr.. Marsh quoted the statement of
former Postmaster General VIII Hays
that the best kind of politics is TO
keep politics out of the administra-
tive branch of government. The mere
classification of presidential postmas-
ters under the civil service law. he
said, will not serve completely to
eliminate politics from this branch
of the postal service. This can only
be done. he said. by provision re-
quiring the appointment to office of
the person standing highest on the
eligible list

Friday Displaced
By Wednesday as
City's Unlucky Day

Contrary to popular belief. Friday
is not the unluckieSt day OF the
week. according to Traffic Director
NJ. O. Eldridge. Wednesday. he
SAYS, is the day that the people of
Washington should be on their
guard against the proverbial jinN.
The traffic director has just com
piled statistics analysing the "a
traffic deaths in the Capital in 1923,
which show that the largest num-
Der, II, occurred on Wednesday.
The figures show, too. that Sunday
is the safest day in the week as far
as traffic accidents are concerned.
Only six persons met their death on
the Sabbath last year. Monday
runs close second for this record.
while Friday ranks third, being
credited with L. deaths.
The dangerous age and the safest
age on the Capitals streets also are
shown in Mr.. Eldridge's statistics.
Persons between A. and "a are
more susceptible To traffic accidents
than those of any other age. he
