law, product of the economy act of
1882, today had passed out of exist

It provided for dismissal either OF
husband or wife in necessary reduc-
tions of force where married couples
were employed in Government serv-
ice, and also gave preferential en-
ployment status to unmarried per-
sons. Critics had charged that 1t was
