Wants to Up
Much Faster

To the Editor of The Times:
Among other of the splendid
architectural structures that it
has been my good fortune to view
since my arrival here recently
is the home Of the Department
Of Commerce.
Despite contrary opinions,
believe the building is ideally
suited for the purpose for which
it was built. It may be "Hoover'S
Folly" to some, but there it
stands, an ideal office building,
combining beauty with the prac,
teal.
If fault is to be found, it can
only be found in the elevator
service. Adequate elevators and
shafts have been installed. but
only about half of them are used.
At times, occupants of the offices
are forced to wait as long as 10
minutes before an elevator will
stop. No doubt this is due to the
pressure of the number Of workers
which have to be carried. But
why not press the idle elevators
into service?

Wants Flying
Made Safer

To the Editor of The Times:
The tragic airplane crash that
took the life Of Senator Cutting
brings out forcibly the fact that
every passenger in a plane should
wear a parachute.
With the gas low, as In this
case, a pilot could take his plane
up to, say 1850 feet, a safe alti'
tude to Jump from. and the co
pilot could help the passengers
to bail out.
New types of parachutes have
been developed whereby the
jumper does not have to pull a
ring, but the chute opens auto
matically after a given time.
If these persons had such a
parachute, they would not have
been killed and probably would
have escaped with only a few
bruises in landing.
Every ship that goes to sea
must carry lifeboats and life pre-
servers for all passengers, and ]
feel that the time has come fol
the Government to insist that the
lives of aerial passengers be like
wise Safeguarded.

story in q nutshell of Earle Lee

scendant of John Morton, Pennsyl-

independence.
At home, in the 400 block B st.

Earle is "quite the berries" and
joins the rest in pointing with a
pardonable pride to his record.
Got Job at 10
At the age of 10, two years after
the death of his father, Earle was
appointed to his present position
by ex-senator Goldsborough (RO ,
of Maryland. He survived the
drastic change of political senti-
ment evidenced by the Democratic
landslide of the following year,
and today is one of the seven boys
assigned to attend to the needs OF
the Senate's Republican minority.
Says he:
"And even one of these is a
Democrat"
Attending the freshman class at
Mckinley High School three nights
week takes up half of Earle's

evenly divided between reading
everything available on the de-

Been Friends
To the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
I was very much pleased at the
expression of Anglo American
amity as shown by the service at
the Washington Cathedral in
honor of the silver jubilee of the
King.
The United States and Great
Britain are of common stock,
and the long friendship should be
cemented even closer between
these two English speaking races,
In all the turmoil and trouble
in the world today these two
great nations have remained firm
to their forms of government, and
stand as an example to the rest
of the world.
The message of President Rose
welt to King George and the
beautiful church service here has
done much to show to the world
the close feeling between the two
races, and I rejoice to see it.

TESTS SLATED

Executive Order Considered
for NoncompetitiVe
Examinations
Rx ]. EARLE MOsER

An executive order, granting
noncompetitive civil service exam
nations for more than 500 Gen.
eral Accounting Office emergency
employees, Is under consideration
at the White House, it was
learned today.
The workers engaged in han
ding, Treasury checks for PWA
and other activities, were engaged
, in July, 1884, undet: legislation
that permitted extension Of ap-
pointments until Jule 80, 1885,
for those that are not on the
Civil Service eligible" list. .
OF the original list engaged, Of
ficials said today, a few were
dropped because they did not
measure UP to efficiency stand
ards. The remainder, however,
have proved extremely capable,
and requests for the opportunity
to prove their fitness by the non
competitive route have been re-
ceived daily.
Approximately 375 hopeful as
pirantS will report at a. m. this
morning in the Franklin School,
Thirteenth and K SITS. N. W., to be
examined for the popular junior
statistical clerk position, which
pays $1,44O annually to appointees.
Unde1 the direction of Mrs
Jessie w. Cowles, supported by a
staff of Civil Service examiners,
the test is expected to last more
than a week. The Civil Service
Commission mail division is
swamped, it was said today, with
the job of mailing notices to ap'
plicantS, who number an esti'
mated $4,000 throughout the
country.
With the passage by the Senate
yesterday of the Treasury-Postof'
flee measure that provides back
pay and a chance of survival to
the 1,200-and-odd Alcohol Tax
Unit workers Smitten for six
months by the now famous Nc
Kellar rider, the Civil Service
Commission announced today
that they will get their noncom'
petitive test on May 13. 1t was
Just in time, as the amendment
provided the test must be given
by May IS.
The test, according to Civil
Service, will be based on practical
questions regarding the duties of
the position and experience.
About 300 in the unit are sta
toned in Washington and have
had to live on credit since De-
cember Of 1884.
Commenting on the restoration,
Lee Somers, executive assistant OF
the American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees, expressed the
hope that justice finally will be
contaminated after the long fight
of his organization, while Luther
C. Steward, president of the Ma.
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, said:
"a horrible injustice that
never should have been perpe-
trated has at last been righted.
A stab at the merit system has
now been healed over, but a
scar remains. We trust that it
will be an object lesson which
may have a deterrent effect
upon other politicians who
through either ignorance or vi
ciouSness attack the merit SyS-
tenn in Federal service"
