LOCAL WORKERS
RATE HIGHEST
mus. TESTS

Efficiency ratings, 1t was re-
vealed today, show that District,
Maryland and Virginia employees
In the Federal service average
higher than Federal employees in
general.
Tests made on selected units,
at random, showed that in gen.
eral the residents Of the District
and neighboring States ranked
above the middle in the rating
tables, and that employees who
had been in the service 80 years
were for the most part below the
middle line.
Billy Held Vital
These results indicate that the
wording of the Independent OF.
ficeS Bill with respect to dismiS.
sails by efficiency and apportion-
ment may be Of vital consequence.
If efficiency rates before appor"
tionment, comparatively few Dis
trict residents would lose their
jobs.
If apportionment ranked first,
the situation would be the same
as II efficiency were not men,
toned in the bill, so the presump-
ton would be that efficiency
should rank first.
On the other hand, the wording
Of the bill at present does not
indicate the status of longevity
and dependency credits on eff
cheney ratings, which are fixed
by executive order.
If the bill were to pass as it
stands, and it were held to :.ncel
the Coolidge order whereby
longevity credits were given, the
30-year employees would, in many
instances, be in line for prompt
dismissal.
Restores Clause
The net effect would be, so
far as those employees were con-
cerned, practically to restore the
compulsory retirement provision
recently removed from the act.

Looking For Alice

The hunt for an Alice to place
"Alice in wonderland" is still on
Read this letter which tells thu
story:
Dear Mr.. Kelley:
Thank you very much for
your kind cooperation given
cur request to the public,
addressed to you a few weeks
ago, in which we asked whether
a known actress or an unknown
should be given the part OF
"Alice in Wonderland"
The replies to this question
naire, received from all parts Of
the United States, Canada and
England are preponderantly in
favor of the unknown young
woman, preferably a blonde
around 16 to is years Of age.
We are trying our best to
find such a girl. and have in
terviewed more than 500 in
Hollywood alone. This we have
done for the reason that Alice
is of such importance to the
story (She will appear in Erac-
ticalIy every scene). We believe
it best to limit our search
among young women with some
professional training. Unques-
tiOnably she must be q girl Of
real talent, inherent charm,
sweet, whOlesOme-the Lewis
Carroll Alice in the flesh.
If you know of such a girl,
if you care to ask your readers
if they know her, I will be
grateful to hear Of her. Letters
addressed to Norman Mcleod,
who will direct "AIice in Wonder
land" should enclose photo
graphs, which will be returned
If requested. I particularly
wish to call to your attention
the fact that applications and
suggestions, to be considered,
must be received on or before
Saturday, August 5. Our choice
will be made the week follow
ing.
Please understand that we
are not definitely committing
ourselves to the selection Of
some unknown. Such a choice,
Of course, will immeasurably in
crease public interest in our
production of "Alice in Wonder
land" and we are sincerely try
ing to find her. But, failing to
do so, it may be necessary, as
a last resort, to use some lesser
known actress for the part.
1 will appreciate your further
help in the matter. Thanking
you, / remain.
Sincerely yours,
EMANUEL COHEN,
Vice President in Charge Of
Production.
