PUBLIC INTEREST HELD ESSENTIAL
Governor COngratulates Merit System Advocates;
 Warns of Opposition

Governor Wilbur L.. Cross in com- menting on the future of the merit system in Connecticut has gone on record with the statement;
 Tt is most important that public Interest in the merit system be maintained In order to offset op- position to the system, which Is bound to continue and which will be looking for opportunities to tear down what has been built up,"
 The governors comment IS con- tained in Q letter of congratulation published in the first issue of the new monthly publication, The Merit Man, official organ of the Connect icut Merit system Association, with state headquarters in New Haven The Merit Man will bet issued to- morrow.
 Commenting further on the opera ton of the merit system and possib- ly striking Q prophetic note, Gov, Cross wrote:
 Your magazine also should be helpful in stimulating the eXten- sion Of the merit system into mun- icipal government. To this end 1t S well to consider the possibility ofe n. acting legislation which would make available to municipalities the e&- amining facilities of the State Per. sonnel Department"
 The leading article in the S2-page magazine deals intimately with the intensive campaign waged by the Association to have the merit system placed before the voters In Water bury ct the recent election in that city, Horace D. Taft, president of the Association and brother of the late President William Howard Taft, condemns political rReketeering" in the magazine, which prints the full text of Q recent speech In which MT, Taft, widely known as arch enemy of the spells system, strikes squarely At the evil,
 Another article points to the recent acceptance of high position under New York Civil Service by pr. Raymond D. Fear, for i3 years health commissioner in Stamford. This, says the magazine, Is con. Vineing proof that security in office under tho merit system will attract high calibro executives.
 A feature of The Merit Man is the printing In full of specimen civil service examinations. Two arc carried in tho first issue. They cover police examinations and ex- aminations for female nurses, This feature, according to an editorial note, will Do carried each month.
 Tn addition, the magazine carries detailed announcement of federal civil service examinations; state examinations; Q practical question and answer department; c depart" ment of mental twisters' by which anyone can gauge their mental powers; and, Q double page spread giving fac-simile reproduction Of ap. plieation necessary to seeking Q pos Bition in tho state service.
