ers said today. According to bank
officials, the main reason for the small
slump in the totals is due to the fact
that many people take money out of
the banks in order to avoid the per-
sonal tax due July l. Temporarily,
they place their money in non-tax-

Golf Caddies Fired
As They Call Strike
For Privilege 10 Play

Three colored caddies were fired
today from the golf course at the
Washington Golf and Country
Club-the very course where they
twice threatened to strike" to
obtain privileges to play on the
course.
Since July 4, a strike" has been
brewing among. the colored cad
dies, led by three or four who de-
cided their caddying had given
them enough experience to play a
good game.
But the July 4 strike was nipped
in the bud when James L. Tracy,
chairman of the golf committee,
fired the strike leader.
Still cycling members slices and
turf digging with disgust, the
caddieS picked today-one of the
busiest days of the season-to call
a strike at the Washington club.
This time Tracy fired the re-
naming strike leaders and later
explained:
"Ths course is limited strictly
to members"
It was believed the Washington
club caddies were envious of $50
caddies at the Army and Navy
Golf and Country Club who, every
Monday morning, are given priv.
legeS to play the course.

EXECUTIVE
DEMANDS
ALL TAKE
EXAMS
R eco m en- dations
Must Be Made to
Civil Service

Government employees in emer-
gency and unclaSSified positions,
who are placed under civil service
in the future, must have had at
least two months Of working eX-
perience and must undergo non
competitive examinations in all
cases, according to an executive
order revealed today by the Civil
Service Commission.
The order was signed by PreSi'
dent Roosevelt July 6 and amends
Section 6 of Rule 2, Civil Service
Rules. It completely annuls the
former provision by which an EN-
ploye excepted from civil service
could receive a competitive status
even though appointed but a few
days before to a position that is
to go into the classified Govern
ment service.
Examinations Necessary
Blanketing of entire divisions
into the Civil Service without ex-
aiming employees also was abol-
ished, the amendment providing
that incumbents must pass such
appropriate noncompetitive tests
of fitness as the Civil Service Com
mission may order" Previously no
test of fitness was required of en-
ployes blanketed into the classified
service, and even minimum quail
fications could not be made a con-
dition for receiving o competitive
Civil Servive status.
Another requirement Of the ex-
ecutive order is that employees
slated for a competitive status
must be recommended "unquali-
fiedly" to the Civil Service Com
mission by the head of depart
ment of establishment in which
they are employed, such a recon-
mendation never having been re-
quired in the past.
The fourth requirement made
1t clear that any legal restriction
which would bar a particular
employee from entering the COM
petitive service would likewise
bar him from benefits Of the
Civil Service rules as amended
by the Presidents order. This
includes a provision that all in
cumbents must be American
citizens.
Must Have Experience
At the Civil Service Commits
sion officials said the 60-day pro.
vision of the rule was approved
by the President with the be-
lief that some substantial length
of experience in the excepted
positions should be a necessary
prerequisite to the procedure
which gives employees a COM
petitive status"
It was added that the new
rule will correct certain weak
nesses from the standpoint of
broad governmental policy" which
have existed for more than 80
years under former regulations.

PRESIDENT
ASSA|LS
CRITICS
Says People Demand
Government That Is
UP-to-Date

Text of Presidents speech
on Page 49,
NEW YORK, July II Q.N.SO.
Under a steaming sun, President
Roosevelt this afternoon formally
dedicated New York's $4,000, 900
triborough bridge, and in so doing
expressed the opinion that the
American people needed an up
to-date government in place Of
antiquated government, just as
they are requiring and demanding
triborough bridges in the place of
ancient ferries"
Approximately a thousand people
were assembled in a special, sec
tion-one level lower than the point
at which Mr.. Roosevelt spoke from
the amazing engineering accom-
plishment which connects three
of New York's greatest boroughs.
They applauded vigorously as the
President, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes, Governor Herbert H.
Lehman, Mayor Fiorella La Guar
dia and other officials spoke.
Moses Name Applauded
Robert Moses, unsuccessful Re
publican candidate for New York
governor in 1884, executive di-
rector of the Triborough Bridge
Authority, who for long was at
loggerheadS with Secretary IckeS
and the Washington Administra-
ton, got a hand when he was de-
Scribed as the man who really
made the bridge possible.
Moses presided at the cere-
monies and everyone connected
with the bridges construction
spoke. Thirteen speakers pre-
coded the Chief Executive, with
Moses introducing each.
Lehman Pays Tribute
Governor Lehman, recently per-
Suaded by Mr.. Roosevelt to stand
for reelection, paid particular
tribute to Moses for his activity
in promoting the huge project.
venom and bitterness are bad
for the chemistry of the soul"
Moses declared as he introduced
his old foe, Secretary Ickes, adding
it was too hot to carry on old
grudgeS.
Ickes responded in kind and
then reminded his audience that
PWA money had made the tri-
borough bridge possible.
Mayor LaGuardia made the
actual presentation of the PreSi-
dent. He said:
"ThiS bridge is due entirely to
the Public Works Program of
the Federal Government. What
can be more symbolic than a
bridge? Are we not today trying
to bridge our troubles?
I'VE are fortunate in having
with us today the chief engi-
neer, the master builder, the
President of the United States"
