Non-CiviI Service
Tests in Z Years

Federal employees not now under
the Civil Service would be required
to qualify in an open competitive
Civil Service examination within
two years, in order to hold their
positions, under the provisions of
a bill tentatively agreed upon, to-
day by the House Civil Service
Committee.
Approximately one.third of the
Government employees in Washing

The latest figures available show
there are 39,291 persons employed
by the Federal government here
who were not IN the classified
Civil Service, while 76, 873 employees
are under Civil Service.
Representative Robert Ran1Speck
CD of Georgia, chairman Of the
committee, explained that the &C
ton of the committee is not final
and that another meeting will be
held next week, to act definitely
on the bill, but that today's &C.

Ballot Is Close
He added that the provision on
open competitive examinations
was agreed upon after a close
vote.
In the message which President
Roosevelt transmitted to Congress
early this session, the Chief Execu-
tive asked that all employees in
the Federal service be blanketed
into the Civil Service by means of
non-competitive examinations.
During hearings on the meas
ures, representatives of various
government agencies, which would
be affected by the bill, told the
committee that if open competi-

GOOD CHRISTMAS
VOLUME EXPECTED
Stock Slump and Industrial
Decline Likely to Have
Little Effect.
snecisl Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpdlCn 70 1 ne oLat.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The prospect
is, that Christmas retail trade this
year will be affected to a relatively
small extent by the sharp industrial
recession and the stock market slump.
according to the Alexander Hamilton
Institute. Retail trade always responds
slowly to changes in fundamental
economic conditions. Consequently,
since the adverse developments have
been so recent, Christmas trade this
year will tend to reflect to a consider
able extent the relatively prosperous
conditions which previously prevailed.
The annual index of the value of
department store sales this year, on
the basis of 1923-l925 as 100, should
not be less than 80, a figure about 5
per cent above last years level and
the highest figure since 1881. Since
the index, unadjusted for seasonal
variation. averaged IS for the first 10
months. it would be necessary for the
index TO average 1877 for the last two
months to result in an annual figure
of 90.
On the assumption that COS per cent
OF the sales in the last two months will
be made in December as was the case
last year, the index for December this
year may be estimated at 1853, as COM
| pared with 16l in the same month last
! year.
| The prospect is, therefore. that the
value OF this years Christmas trade
will be not more than 5 per cent
! smaller than that of a year ago
With the exception of 1886 it will
be larger than the value of Christ
| mas sales in any year since 1890
AS compared with 1882. the worst
year of the depression. there will be
an increase Of 443 per cent. As
! compared with pre-depreSsion years
the showing this year will naturally
not be so favorable For instance
the value of sales this year will be
2o.3 per cent below the record Christ.
mas trade Of 1928.
The quantity of goods sold dur.
ing the holiday season this year viii
snow somewhat greater curtail.
ment as compared with year agc
than the value of sales as the re.
suit Of this years higher price level
Present indications are that price,
will average about per cent higher
than year ago. This points to 6
curtailment of nearly 10 per cent il
the quantity of goods sold At thu
same time, this years price level viii
be approximately 20 per cent lower
than in December, 1928, when tht
value of trade was the highest or
record. This lower price level vii
almost offset the reduced value. The
quantity of goods sold this year viii
thus be nearly as large as the pre-.
depression Christmas volumes.
