to attend the Academy fair chance
without regard to political pull or
influence. Each time that the con
gresham has had a vacancy he has
called upon the United States Civil
Service Commission to conduct a
competitive examination through,
out his district, and makes the ap.
pointmcnts solcy on merit.

dltion to that, the Congressman will

of natural leadership. Age limits
