ecutive secretary of the National Civil
Service Reform League, today told the
opening session of the Sixth Eastern

drawn from Federal and State Civil

groups that would normally be ex-
pacted to be the strongest proponents
or a career system in the public serv-
ice often unwittingly become sympa-
thetic allies of partisan politicians by
resorting to system of personal or
social politics." Kaplan said.
Influence Held Harmful.
1.-The baneful influence of the pro-

Clearing skies over the dust-stricken

promise of at least temporary respite
from choking clouds of sand and silt.

Western Oklahoma. Southwestern
Kansas, Southeastern Colorado and
Northwestern New Mexico reported
clearing skies after one Of the worst
storms of the season. Four inches
of snow fell in East Central Colorado,
but it failed TO reach the dust section.
Trains, delayed by low visibility and
the necessity for caution due to accu-
mutation of dust on signal equipment,
were returning to their schedules.

their bills, because of different taxing
methods or for other reasons, would
not be germane to the administration

They set out to try to amend the

They warned the House that it would
