Federal Housing Administra-
tion's recent admission that it Is
carrying out its required IS per
cent reduction along lines Of the
State apportionment law has
again brought to the forefront
the demerits due such system.
Personnel authorities interested
in improving the Government
service have frequently pointed
out the damage the apportion-
ment law does to the merit
system and to the economic
status Of residents of the District
Of Columbia and nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
No serious move to amend the
apportionment law has been be-
gun as yet. however. because Of
the tremendous political pressure
that would arise from outlying
States, although less than half
q dozen of them ever approach
filling their Federal quotas for
jobs.
The apportionment law is gen.
orally considered one Of the
greatest foes to real merit
system because it absolutely ig-
nores the merit of candidates un-
less they hail from below-quota
State. Thus a Marylander who
scores 93.5 IL a Civil Service test
would stand less chance Of ap-
pointment than a person passing
with 1871 from q state below its
quota.
Under the system persons are
picked for their location pri-
marily, their ability secondarily.
The condition Of refusing Jobs to
available people who need them
Is constantly at hand. while the
Civil Service Commission is forced
in the meantime to seek for
somebody eligible in some far
away State. who might be In
duced to entrain for Washington
to take q post he has probably
given UP as hopeless long since.
Likewise, folk fired under the
system receive little or no credit
for demonstrated efficiency.
From District. Maryland or
Virginia standpoint, the elimnia-
ton Of o condition under which
workers worry from one short
time temporary appointment to
another is considered by many
more important than leave, over
time or any Of the other missions
on which organized groups embark
so frequently.

LONDON, August 1g (N.AN.A).-
Hugh Ruttledge, leader Of the 1886
Mount Everest expedition, which was
beaten by bad weather, has made his
last attempt to scale the worlds high
est peak, he announced after his ar
rival here from India.
In future he will live in yacht

will be satisfied with climbing smaller
mountains.

a younger man took on the job. But
I am as confident as ever was that
Mount Everest can be scaled. We
were beaten this time by cruel
weather-luck. That is all, and luck
will always play very large part in
the attempt.
THE most important discovery Of
the expedition is probably that which
resulted from our final despairing at

after trying from the other side. We
found that, although the slope is
sleeper, it appears to offer better
chances of success than our old route. "
Mr.. Ruttledge was asked whether
plans for future expedition would be
likely to be modified in view of his ex-
periences. "1t is hard to say" he
said, but there are several matters
of controversy. One is whether fu-
ture expedition should be smaller and
more lightly equipped. still hold the
view that for climbing above $4,000
feet expeditions can scarcely be much
smaller than ours"

Jimmy Walker, You're Mistaken!
It's Not Mrs. Simpson in Mural

ter what Jimmy Walker claimed he
saw. The former mayor of New
York made quick trip through the
Palace of Justice the other day and
informed Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings that he'd seen Balti-
mores woman of destiny in one of
the pictures, kneeling at the side
of a dinner table .-... ...-.
Tch, tch, tch! Not only have we
scrutinized these paintings, but we
have scrutinized Gypsy Rose at the
Gayety Burlesque, where she wore
nothing much but talcum powder,
and We can't understand what's the
matter with Jimmy's eyes.
The celebrated muralist. George
Biddle, has immortalized little Gyp-
sy with her clothes on Every curve
and every undulation is visible
under her orange blouse and blue
skirt, just as we once saw 'em under
nothing except baby spotlight.
Biddle showed a lot of other cele-
brated folks in the life-sized paint
ings which decorate the main hall
of the department and which have
aroused more controversy in art cir
cles than anything since John D.
Rockefeller, IN, tore down Diego
Rivera's pictures from the lobby of
New York's Radio City music hall.
Since Jimmy Walker started the
game, there ought to be no objection
to our continuing 1t.
There is a tall and handsome
blonde feeding chickens in the panel
10 the left of Gypsy Rose and she
looks to us like Mae West, minus
her corsets. Funny, Jimmy didn't
notice her. Then there's a smiling
gentleman in checkered shirt
milking a COW, while knock-kneed
calf looks on longingly. Unless we
miss our guess. the bucolic fellow is
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace.
At dinner table nearby is lad
who resembles Rudy Vallee, drink
ing coffee. He's got the same curls,
the same nicely chiseled features,
and the same elegant necktie. but
his coat doesn't fit any too well,
and his collars too big, If we were
Rudy We think we'd ask Biddle to
paint this over, next time he's in
Washington and isn't too busy.
Another actor in the murals seems
to be that chocolate-colored dancer,
Bill Robinson. in green cap. He's
not dancing, though; he's slouched
in a chair, watching Rep. Maury
Maverick, D., Texas, play checkers
with q little gent who looks like
Joe. the prescription clerk at the
cut-rate drugstore
In this same picture there is a
person with a, sockdollager of a nose,
