CIVIL SERVICE FILLS
JOBS ON OLD BASIS
Residents of States Near District
Are Assured of Equality in
Selection by Quota.

Assurance is given by Civil Service
Commission officials that residents of
the District, Maryland and Virginia will
not meet any additional barrier to their
entry into the apportioncd departmental
service of the Government in Washing
ton as a result of the commissions
recent action in breaking away from
a method employed since 1910.
The District. Maryland and Virginia,
with their large populations close neigh
borS to the Government Offices, and a
couple of other States have employees
in the Federal service far in excess of
their apportioned quotas, while the
other States fall far below their quotas.
1t was explained at the Civil Service
Commission yesterday that the same
method will be followed as heretofore
in selecting District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia eligibles for positions, because
they have been taken on only after
all those of higher rating from other
States had first chance at the vacan-
cies under their apportioned quota. In
other words. where the qualification
averages are the same. the residents of
other States will be given the positions
to the full limit of their quota before
local or nearby applicants who have
equally high marks will be considered.
