Western High Schools eleven
plays it's last game today before
making it's debut in the 1886
tnter-high series when Petersburg
High is met at Petersburg, Va,
$3.50 p. m.
The contest should put the
Georgetowners in fine spirit for
their interhigh clash, which
comes Tuesday at the Western
Stadium with Roosevelt's Rough
Riders the opposition.
Coach Ahern's team has had its
difficulties getting ready this sea.

However, the silent and serious

Built Around Snead
The lineup is built around
Morris Snead, classy quarterback
passer, punter and ball-carrler.
Biff Oliphant, Mason Morse, line
men, and Hank Brewer, haltoacK,
are others Of note.
Today against Petersburg a
thorough test will be encountered. d.
But as said before, the contest will
put the boys on edge for a success

"series-a beginning the players
hope will carry them beyond the
triumph expected over Roosevelt's
Rough Riders, who'll be the de-
.cided underdog in Tuesdays
encounter.
< Roosevelt looked a little better
In it's second contest of the cam

to Gonzaga, IA to 6, but gave the
Purple a much stronger battle
sthan against Bulls Prep week
ago.

q. Central Shows Power
r Central exhibited all its pre-
.heralded power against st. Johns,
with Charlie Jones. ace hneman,
Ginning in with his backfield
teammates, Bill Wooten and Bill
IckeS, to star.
Kidwell and Sugrue were the
stars in Eastern'S victory at Cal
vert Hall while FoneS and Cattell
aided immensely in Devitt's win
%over National Training School.
:, Cummings and Hagan, the lat
ter promising back if ever there
was one, led Georgetown Prep
over Friends. Neiderman and
.Stanns played well for Woodrow
Wilson against st. Adams. This
ssgame, incidentally, marked Wood

football.
- - From the result, there looms
sthe possibility the new school will
ssbe heard from aplenty on the

POSTMASTERS ON
 CIVIL SERVICE
President Issues Order to Place Them All on
 That Basis

Washington, July, 23-(UP) n President Roosevelt today extended his offensive in presidential cani- paign slirmishing on the patronage issue with an executive order plac- ing all postmasters on 8 Civil Ser- vice basis. It was the second move in a fortnight having the effect of withdrawing the fire from wire- spread attacks by republicans upon New Deal patronage policy. 1nlrned- lately after the democratic nation al convention, Postmaster Gen. James A. Farley took Q furlough from his postal duties for the dur ation of the campaign.
 Almost Entire System
 By his order today, MT. Roosevelt placed virtually the entire postal service with the exception of Q handful of top appointive adminis- trative posts under typical Civil Service regulations.
 It was quickly pointed out, how- ever, that the new rules allow the continuance in office indefinitely Uf present politically appointed post masters. Republican criticism was expected to center on this phase of the order.
 Mir. Roosevelt's order sets up vir- tually the same postmaster system provided by the Ramspeck Civil Ser- vicS bill which failed of passage on tho closing day of congress. Two Ways to Fill
 It provides two methods of filling first, second and third class post master vacancies occurring because of death, resignation, removal or expiration of term.
 Vacancies may be filled by reap- pointment of the incumbent post- master or Q classified postal employe to the vacancy may be filled by open competitive examination con- dlicted by the commission.
 Republicans who attacked this method when presented in the Ramspeck bill charged 1t would per- petuate present democratic post- master incumbents. It does, however, bring an end to the present system whereby pOstmasters above the fourth class are held as patronage appointments.

use in Waterbury, will take place in the near future 1t was learned today. An announcement in a bulletin re- leased yesterday by the Veterans Placement Service points out that although no, official word had been released from the state headquarters of the WPA, 1t is generally supposed that the state employment offices will have nothing to do with the WPA.
 Fertilization Work
 When official sanction of the an- ticipated move is made known, WpA placements will be made directly from the department of public well fare to the local placement offi- cer. At the present time, after having been declared eligible for WPA work by the welfare depart- Inent, the clearing and certification is done through the state employ nent office. The elimination of one of these phases iS expected to expediate matters, with the depart ment of welfare doing both the clearing and certifying os those seeking WPA employment.
 Thomas I. Shea, manager of the local state employment office, could not be reached for a statement this morning and no official word has been received here as yet by either the WPA officials or the department of public welfare. It Is believed, however, that official word will be released within the next few days.
 Minor Changes
 In connection with new wage rates for WPA employees throughout the state, which will be established as Q result of survey conducted un- der the direction of Senator Julius Stremlau of Meriden, 1t has been announced that only minor changes will be made in the new scale.
 Varying for the class of workers and the size of the community, the new wage scale will be based on an hourly rate. The reductions will range from 20 cents to $l.60 per month, according to an announce ment made ct the state administra- tors office. Tn larger cities, such as Waterbury and Hartford, the old and new wages, all based on 120 hours of work per month, will be as follows:
 Unskilled, seo and SeO.Bo; inter- mediate $70.80 and s7i.60; skilled, So2.40 and $0S.60; supervisor, 9l02 and @103.40.
 Tn Southington and towns of that size the new monthly pay for ufl- skilled workers, at i20 hours c month, will be 464 instead of S66.
 All new rates will be on hourly rates figured to an even cent.
 Staff Idle
 Local members of the traffic sur- vey were still waiting for approval of their project, 1t was learned this morning. The reported renewal oi the project which has been held tlr because of some technical difficulty was to have been received yester- day, but up until noon today there was no word received here in Wa terbury.
