tenn while State legislatures have
consistently fought the evils Of
the Spoils method of making ap
pointmentS. She said:
Despite campaign pledges by
both parties to Immediately ex-
tend the merit system the pres
ent Congress is whiting it
away. The tendency in innumer-
able instances to extend the
right of presidential appoint
mentS' is nothing more nor less
than a raid on the merit SyS-
tenn.
"Such defects are outstand-
ing in the recently signed indie
pendent offices appropriation
act, and the pending Senate re-
organization bill. 1t is amazing
to find that even in the re-
organization bill, slated to EN-.
body merit system recommends
lions of the highest character,
the presidential appointment
method of evasion would be
further extended.
Patronage appointments for
all civilian CCC employees, rail-
road employee preferences in the
railroad retirement legislation,
and the Senate blockade on the
Ramspeck pOStmasters' bill are
a few Of the disturbing iIIustra-
tons of congressional indOrse-
ment Of the SpoilS grab-bag."
The feminine leader contrasted
the advances made by States,
which have swung into a fever OF
merit enthusiasm after inaction
lasting from 1921 through 1896.

largest number to act in any one

she pointed out, while in nine

legislation extending the system
was passed. California "practi-

she reported, while New York
classified salary schedules and
Wisconsin clarified its State Civil
Service act to bring about a dis,
tinct advance.

Employment as Government

viii be thrown open to disabled
veterans under terms of an agree.
rnent reached between the Civil
Service Commission and Veterans
Administration, revealed today.
Hospitalized and domiciled vet
Grams in Veterans Facilities
throughout the country will be
allowed to train for the positions
if their station medical officers
believe them physically fit for
such duties, Gen. Frank T. Hines
announced.
Veterans Administration will
train the applicants, who will then
be reported to the chief of person
mel, and placed on roster of eligi-
bles. Wherever there is vacancy
at a station, trained men at the
station will be given first chance
at the job and if none are avail
able the personnel chiefs list will
be consulted for someone from
elsewhere.
Men who qualify by training
but are not called for duty at Vet
Grams Administration units will be
sought places with other Govern
Haent agencies, such as the Vet
Grams Placement Service, Depart
ment of Labor and other units.
Those employed under Hines, how
ever, will retain their rights to
medical care, subsistence and
Quarters.
After such training, many vet
Grams, both men and women, will
be able to qualify for positions for
which there are existing registers
by taking the quarterly tests given
by the Civil Service Commission
for those who are entitled to dis.
ability preference.
Present civil service require
ments for elevator operator in
elude three months experience on
electric or hydraulic equipment;
for telephone operator, six months
experience in a large central office
or a year in a branch exchange OF
