ity in developing a system of
personnel procedure coordinated
with that of the classified civil
service.
The Tennessee Valley Authority
is by law exempted from civil
service regulations, but it was
announced early in the organi,
zation's career that no appoint
ments would be made on a politi,
cal basis, and a little later that
the Authority would favor re.
employment of clerks dismissed
from Federal units forced to re.
duce staff.
The latest developments prac-
tically put the Valley Authority
on a civil service basis, though
the functions of the commission
will be more restricted in theory,
at least, than in organizations
under the classification act.
DR.. O'Rourke will set up pro-

BOARD.
RULES SEATS
ESSENTIAL
System to Get Trial; But Will
Be Abolished If Old Time
Saloons Threaten

The Beverage Permit Board to.
day was kept busy answering
questions from various beer
dealers in regard to the ruling
which approves use of lunch
counters for serving Of beer.
Under the new Interpretation,
which is not a formal ruling, serv.
ing of beer over a counter will be
permitted, provided that seats are
provided. The seats may or may
not be stationary, and patrons
may drink standing if they desire.
Old-Time Bar Banned
Vernon E. West, assistant CO.
poration counsel and member of
the board, said the ruling is not
formal approval of the old-time
bar, but that the Commissioners
have instructed the board to
tolerate the counter service.
West said:
"FOr a time we will permit
beer to be served at counters
to see how it works out. If,
however, we find the privilege
is being abused and that cOndi-
tiOnS are drifting back to the
bar of the old saloon days, we
shall issue a new regulation
prohibiting it.
"We want it understood that
we will not tolerate a return
of the old saloon and if we
find that the lunch counter is
being used as a Subterfuge to
provide what is really an old
time bar we will put a stop to
it at once"
Licenses to Be Limited
The board also announced to-
day that it will not limit the
maximum total of beer licenses
to be granted for Washington.
The law provides that the Com
missioners, in considering applica.
tions, may take into conSidera-
ton the number of permits al.
ready granted in any section of
the city.
Under this provision, the board
announced, it may consider the
location of the place applying and
the number of licensed dealers
already in the vicinity.
The board repeated it's previous
decision to pursue it's policy of
refusing permits to dealers in resi-
dental sections, pending ruling
on test cases already filed in
court. Many persons have pro-
tested the ruling, but the board
has refused to change its attitude.

Bill Action in Congress

Federal reorganization, it was
evident today, will be in accord

plan, coordinating the functions
of all agenci as efficiently as
possible, but the progress of the
reorganization will vary accord
ing to the units affected.
To some extent, certain organ

comprehensively, but the fact
that several pieces of legislation

proposals now contemplated viii
be more important factor.
Congress Awaited
While the actual reorganization
can be effected through executive
order, it will, for example, de de-
sirable, at least, to await Congress
sional action on the Independent
Offices bill before such a step is
taken.
That there will be no delays in
the process, once the stage is
clear for it, has been made evi-
dent by the attitude of the Vet

General medical cases not SER

veterans cases will be removed

that the staff there will be re-

sharp reductions in hospitals
where veterans have been under
treatment, whether operated by
