John Marshall Case.
When John Marshall was appointed
superintendent of insurance several
months ago, the Civil Service Com
mission questioned whether this was
in disregard Of the agreement, but
nothing was done to upset the selec-
ton. The city heads argued that de-
partment heads were not subject to
the rule.
Thereafter, the Civil Service Com
mission asked the Commissioners to
submit q list Of officials they regarded
As exempt from the rule. This was
done.
The city heads did not win full ap-
proval of their requests. They had
asked the Civil Service Commission to
agree to exempt those appointed as
deputy department heads as well as
the divisions chiefs themselves. This
was denied.
The examination rule for new ap-
pointees was adopted December Is.
1882, under q former Board of Com
missioners headed by DR.. Luther H.
Reichelderfer. It was set up because
the city heads and the Civil Service
Commission agreed that 1t would be
in the interest of good administration
to make appointments to positions
under the government Of the District
after tests of qualifications"
The rule Is not to be confused with
civil service status such as applies to
most Federal workers, since District
workers do not have civil service pro
lection" against arbitrary dismissal.
Only policemen, firemen and school
teachers have regular civil service
status.
Affected Posts Named.
The additional District posts ex-
empted from this rule are those of
the corporation counsel and his as
sistants, the auditor, assessor, collec-
tor Of taxes, purchasing officer, super
intendent Of weights, measures and
markets; the director Of highways, su-
perintendent Of insurance. coroner, di-
rector of vehicles and traffic, surveyor.
director of sanitary engineering, di-
rector Of inspection, municipal archi-
tect, chief clerk of the Engineer De-
partment, supervisor Of Fairgrounds,

In December the number Of
families listed was 6,022, or 5 per
cent of the total number here.
In January this figure jumped to

Many Evils Seen
Under New Deal

BY REP. HAROLD McGUGIN
Republican Member Of Congress
from Kansas
Written expressly for Interna-
tiOnal News Service
In the appraiSement Of the first
year of the Roosevelt Administra-
ton, it would be far more parti.
san than wise or truthful to
criticize the Roosevelt Admins
tration for all the economic ills
from which the American people
are suffering.
I choose to be more charitable
with Mr.. Roosevelt, than the
Democrats were with Mr.. Hoover.
The principal accomplishments
Of the Roosevelt Administration
to date have grown out Of an un-
paralleled expenditure Of public
money.
Humanitarian Cited
Far more humanitarian Is in
VOWED in these accomplishments
than economic or social recovery.
The cost of the first year Is
obout 10,50O million dollars. Our
total income is about $500 mil
lion dollars. The deficit is 1000
million dollars. These accom-
plishments will not be paid for
until our children pay for them.
The two outstanding efforts Of
the Administration for recovery
are to be found in the NRA and
the AAA neither one Of which
has yet proved its established
end permanent merit.
They have accomplished some
good purposes but they have
S"ought forth so many new evils
and complications that it Is yet
a most debatable question whether
in the end they are going to bring
about economic recovery or great
er economic despair.
Surrender Of Liberty
The way that they are now be-
ing administered. If there is any
hope for their success. 1t would
seem that we would have to pay
the price Of giving UP many of
our liberties under the Constitu-
ton.
Whatever may be said Of the
Roosevelt Administration, up to
date it has not given US something
for nothing. For the relief meas
ureS which it has given us, we
are paying the price Of having
gone In debt an additional $50
