This will not disturb the employees
under the classified civil service.
They are not overpaid. They are
not responsible for the waste and
extravaganza of the administra-
ton. The waste and extravaganza
Is outside the classified civil service.
As Chief Executive I intend to
give my close personal attention to
the actual administration OF Gov.
ernment departments.
I intend to ask Congress imme-
diately for legislation giving me au-
thority to extend the merit system
by executive order. Every position
in the executive departments and
agencies below the rank Of assistant
secretary should be filled either by
promotion for merit or by COMPETE
tive examinations.
At the same time, intend to ask
for authority to insure q real re-
organization and consolidation of
Government bureaus and agencies.
And I intend to ask that adequate
appropriations be given to the Civil
Service Commission.
/ shall appointto the cabinet and
other executive positions only those
whose belief in the merit system will
lead to its full support. I shall sp-
point only men of ability with
records of actual accomplishment.
And under my administration no

service. We need in Government
more civil servants like the rank
and file Of post office employees
faithful men and women who have
been appointed on merit and have
advanced on merit.
It is my intention to broaden the
system Of promotion In each de-
partment SO that employees may
look forward to continuous ad-
vancement.
More than 10 years ago Mr..
Roosevelt wrote to the National
Civil Service Reform League as
follows: II should Ike to see one
Of the great parties come forward
with q challenge to the othe. party
offering to enter into a compact to
uphold and maintain the civil
service; to recognize that while q
few positions at the top-policy-
making positions, must Of necessity
be filled by party men, the over
whelming majority Of Government
employees should be something
more than party workers"
Since writing those words Mr..
Roosevelt has become President.
As the head Of one Of the great
parties and as President he not
only has been shadow-boxing with
his own challenge; he has aban-
doned his own principles.
The time has come to get rid Of
this tax-eating bureaucracy. We
must return to . liberal Demo.
cratic system.

It Is imperative that the men,

should thoroughly understand the
problems Of Government personnel.
It Is imperative they administer
the civil service laws impartially
and humanely. ! shall ask the

Open HcarinSs for Employees.
And shall ask that the Civil
Service Commission provide open
hearings court Of appeals-for
employees against whom charges
have been made that may lead to
the loss Of their jobs. When such
charges are made the accuser
sould face the accused. In my opin-
ion anything short of such pro-
lection to our Government worker
Is unjust and un-American.
A trained and efficient civil

The task Of those who follow
this administration will be no bed
Of roses. It will not be q Job for
feniuses who despise arithmetic.
It will be q grinding undramatic
responsibility - without fireworks
and without showmanship. It will
call for the simple virtues without
which no family, no business, and
no Government can long endure.
But the task can be performed.
It can be performed by an ad-
ministration determined to give
our people q Government that Is
efiicient, economical ami honest.
1t can be performed because the
American people will support an
administration which is looking
after their affairs instead Of try.
ing to perpetuate itself in power.
As Chief Executive ] shall devote
myself to this task will all the
energy and determination that I
possess. As Chief Executive in
tend to have good Government.

With the increasing responsible
ties Of government, 1t is absolutely
essential that we have q body Of

the system must include the OPEN
ing of higher positions to advance

Building q better and broader

OF both the administrative and

Portrait of
DIR. Mitchell.
The portrait of Dr. James Fernan-

distinguished surgeons, is rather
notable as a likeness and for the
strength, the subtle muscular structure
Of his brown hands. The eyes are not
human or far-seeing enough for Dr.

the truthfulness of the likeness. The
pose, the wonderful hands, revealed the
scientific scholar In a recent annual
exhibition of the Society of Washing
ton Artists, this portrait was awarded
the medal. first class, for figure paint
ing.
The large. full-length portrait OF
Mrs. Helen Marye Thomas, in white
riding togs with a Russian wolfhound
for life and background, was pleasing,
! with the touch of color which the
navy belt at the waist gave it. Mrs.
Thomas is the wife of Comdr Thomas
of the Navy and favorite generally
in society. The figure against the
dark background has the eclat OF
youth. There Is something lacking
in the artists handling Of fabrics and
texture, which Is noticeable in all his
canvases except in the charming like
ness Of Emily Mclean, which shows
the youthful. girlish figure to perfec-
ton in its white satin gown and back
ground of joyous pink, which adds
the note of color and youth. The
feather fan over the right shoulder
adding an intriguing touch to the de-
collette bodice is lovely.
