from the plane-"We are going

The sos was preceded by a
series of pleading messages,

The plane was believed within

Irwin S. Cobb's definition that
corn whisky was "the illegiti-

siderable criticism today in a
hearing held by the Federal Al

Major E. H. Chase, jr., Vir-

"The kind of whisky made by

He declared that there was a

Government employees in the
emergency agencies who are sched-

other year or more are expected
to be blanketed into civil service
upon passage of noncompetitive
examinations during the coming
year.
Plans now being formulated for
such action are reliably under

President, it was learned today.
AS the campaign is now beirg
mapped. proposal for this pui-
pose will originate in Congress,
where it will be strongly pressed,
and the Administration will make
it known that such legislation will
be warmly received by the White
House.
Wants Congress to Act
Although the Chief Executive
already has the authority to order
the blanketing IN of these en-
ployes, it is believed he desires
that Congress enact the legisla-
ton so as to make the action
more stable.
With the Presidents sponsor
ship, it is believed that the legis-
lation would be swiftly enacted.
There has been a great cry for
action along this line from the
Government employees during the
past two years, since the workers
without civil service status have
continually been in fear of losing
their places due to the fact that
