BELIEVE PUTNEY
 WILL PASS EXAM State Prohibition Chief May Take
 Test Again
BY GEORGE IT. MANNING

BY GEORGE IT. MANNING (Washington Bureau of the N. B. Heraldl Washington, D. C.. Jan. 9--Prohi-
 bition headquarters officials are not inclined to count out Frank T. Put
 ney as deputy prohibition adminis- trator for Connecticut because he failed to pass the civil service exami-
 nation held recently for applicants to fill that position under the new
 plan of putting all these officials un- der civil service.
 They believe that although he failed to pass the last exam, MT. Putney will take the test again and they are inclined to believe he will pass.
 T expect MT. Putney will take the examination again and l rather think he may pass" said Dr. 3ames N. Doran, commissioner of prohi- bition. Because Mir. Putney failed to pass the last examination the infer ence to be drawn naturally is that his place will be filled by someone who passes the next examination which closes January 31. But there is nothing to prevent MT. Putney taking the test again and he may pass"
 It was pointed out by prohibition headquarters officials that Mir. Put ney will probably profit from the last examination and will pass the next one. If he does. it was added, he will naturally have the advan- tage over other candidates because he is already on the job and has a good service record If any of the other Connecticut applicants had passed Mir. Putney would surely be at disadvantage, but since they all failed he still has the advantage over all the others angling for the position.
 It is expected the next examina- tion will be finished by March 15.
