Won Cramm and Henkel as they did
IN England, the recapitulation of the
stroke analysis indicated that Makos
letdown was responsible for their first
defeat in more than 4 year. Mako
held only four Of his eight service
games and three Of those breaks gave
the German stars the openings they
needed to sweep the match in straight
sets.
-Four other champions also were
overthrown in yesterdays sultry
afternoon at Longwood. Mrs. Sarah
Palfrey Fabyan. who shared four
previous women's titles. teamed with

Ramspeck. whose bill for bring
ing emergency personnel into the
classified service via competitive
examination was under discussion,
declared:
IF you are to get nOn-cOmpe-
titlve tests for continuance In
your positions, there is much.
missionary work to be done. I
am not satisfied with the atti-
tude toward Civil Service that
find in the House. In my Opin-
ion, a great many members Of
Congress are not in favor Of
your having Civil Service under
any consideration"
RamSpeck told the group they
must put the heat on their Con.

the House recently struck out an
amendment to allow the Civilian
Conservation Corps administrative
staff civil service by non-competi.
tive tests, by q margin Of 80

that his bill, If passed, would cost

that the. apportionment law be
observed in giving competitive

that If they made a mark Of 10
per cent "the Government owes
you the remaining 80 to make q
100 per cent, because Of the work
you have DONE"
Representative Caroline O'Day
CD also stated she favored non.
competitive admission, saying:
