Principal point Of controversy
among members of the committee
is whether examinations non-clVll
service employees must take to be
covered bv civil service should be
competitive or non-CompetltlVe'
Hopes For Test
Under Mr.. RamSpeCk's proposal
the examinations would be com
netitive. but the Presidents Com
nittee on Reorganization recon-
mended that such examinations
should be non-competitlve.
It is Mr.. Ramspeck'S hope that
a case will be built up during the
hearings, to support his ideas as to
the examinations, although he
realizes there is considerable sup
port behind the Presidents recon-
mendatiOns.
Scope Underlined
witnesses who will be heard dur
ing the course of the hearings in
clude members of the Civil Service
Commission, representatives of the
various Government. employe or
ganizations, chiefs of the agencies
affected by the legislation, and
probably members of the PreSi-
den's Committee on Reorganiza-
ton.
The bill does not designate the
agencies to which the proposal
legislation would apply, but leaves
it to the President to determine
which agencies are to be perma-
nent. Those agencies then could
be covered into Civil Service.

THE "soUEEzEn IN CORN

When the Chicago Board of Trade
suspended trading in September corn the
market price was $1.10 per bushel al
though October deliveries were selling for
about "a cents bushel.
What happened? It seems that there
were contracts calling for the delivery of
100000 bushels of corn, the new crop
was not available and there was only
600 900 bushels. of old corn available for
the carrying out of the CONTRACTS a 5 20
This was a corner and the Board
fixed an arbitrary price for the. settlement
of the contracts e'i9 80 s31o - -
Farmers may wonder why there was
such difference between September and
October prices. The answer is that last
year the corn crop was 1,529,000,0OO
bushels, one of the smallest in our time.
This year the crop is expected to total q
549,000,00O bushels, the largest since
1882.
