DC. JOB
OPEN

President Coolidge will not
appoint a District Attorney for
Washington until Congress CON
yenes in December.
Word to this effect was received
TODAY from the summer White
House at Brule. Wis. along with
the statement that Leo A. Rover.
now acting as District Attorney by
appointment of the District SUI
preme Court. will continue in office
at i-st until that time.
Salary at Stake
If the President should make
4 recess appointment now, it Is
pointed out, the appointee would
draw no pay for the time that
Congress is not sitting. as Major
Peyton Gordon resigned the Dis.
trict Attorneyship to become a
Justice of the District Supreme
Court while Congress was in ses-
sion.
"A recess appointee can make no
salary draft until the Senate acts
upon his name.
So far as dispatches from Brule
show, President Coolidge. has not
decided whom he VIII nominate Ao~
the post next December. Friends
Of James NJ Proctor are active
despite the delay encountered last
spring in obtaining favorable con-
sideration of his name by Attorney
General Sargent.
Supporters of the claims of Leo
A. Rover point to the excellent
record he Is making under his pres
emit appointment and the many adj
ministration lawyers who are said
to favor him.

al large number Of Federal
employees now classified in
grades three Of the profes-
sional service and 10 Of the
clerical service, may be pro-
noted to a higher grade as 2
result Of Comptroller General
D. r. McCarl's latest interpre-
tation of the Welch pay act.
Beginning July i, Grades 4 and ii,
,,,noadiateIv above fhe grades In
question, will be vacant ana = Lns
Personnel Classification Board fol-
lows McCarl's suggestion, It VIII
promote many employees now IN
Grades and 10 to the vacant
grades.
The Personnel Board, In protest.
ing McCarrs original ruling that
all employees now in 4 and Il must
60 into and IL under the Weicn
act. pointed out that this planket
promotion would leave the new
Grades 4 and IL vacant.
McCarl agreed that they would
be left temporarily vacant. but sug-
.gested that they be filled by promo
tions from the next lower grades.
Easier TO Qualify
"Manifestly, he said in his letter
to Gen. Herbert M. Lord. director
of the Budget Bureau yesterday,
there are positions allocated under
the original Classification Act 20
Pa and CAF-1O which, though not
entitled to be alfocated to the or
igfnal Grades PA and CAF-11, are
entitled to be allocated to the new
Grades Pa and CAF-11, and 1t is
to be assumed that this will be
done subsequent to July /, 1928, in
accordance with the procedure pre-
scribed under the original classified
ton act of 1928.
McCarfs theory, 1t was explained
today, is that the qualifications for
the new grades and IL are not
as high in the WEIGH act as they
have been under the old classlfi'
cation act. Therefore many posi-
tions which could not qualify for
the old grades can qualify for the
new ones.
The maximum pay in grades 3
and 10 under the Welch bill Is
$4,000 a year. If employees getting
that figure are promoted to grades
and IL they will work under a
salary range from $4,000 to $4,000.
Other Phases Studied
This is only one phase of Me.
Carts letter. which is being studied
by the Personal Board today. NO
decision has been reached, or at
least made public by that board,
az to it's future policy as a re-
suit of McCarIs ruling.
If the board follows McCarIs oe'
cision it will abandon the re-
classification of employees in higher
grades of the professional and
clerical services, which it under
took just a few days ago. McCari
ruled that these assifications
are automatic under the WEIGH Act.
There is a strong Likelihood. how
ever, that the board will ignore Nc.
Carl and proceed with the class
ification. In that case employees will
be able to put in claim to Nc
Carts office for any salary they
lose through the action of the
board.

MAGNET LIFTS
BULLET OUT OF
SOLDIERS LUNG
Unique Method Saves Life
of Veteran When For
CepS Fail.

BIZ Science Scrricc
PHILADELPHIA, April Of. - The
problem Of removing an awkwardly
located German bullet from the lung
OF Canadian soldier where il had
been reposing for ten years was
solved by Dr. Chevalier jackson, at
his bronchoscopic clinic here by
means of a magnet
In 1913 the soldier was wounded
In the jaw. The fracture united, the
wound healed and the patient was
honorably discharged. After sew
eral years a cough developed, with
considerable pain in the left side of
the chest. X-ray examination
showed a machine gun bullet in the
upper lobe of the left lung.
The soldiers history indicated that
there had been no way for the bull
let to enter the body except through
the wound in the jaw, SO the doc
tors concluded that the bullet had
been nearly spent when it struck
the jaw bone and had been carried
into the lung by an indrawn breath.
By means of X-rayS and the
bronchoScope, an instrument which
enables the operator to look di-
rectly into the lung, it was found
that an abscess-like cavity had
formed around the bullet.
When bronchus forcepS were in
serted into this cavity, however, they
showed the bullet up into round
the corner" position, where the oper-
ator could not possibly get a grasp
on it.
Since the bullet was presumably
