ACTION WEEK OFF
ON RAMSPECK BILL
Hearings Closed on Civil Service
Measure and Testimony Will
Be Printed.

Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee said today
that he does not expect any action
for at least another week on his bill
to extend the civil service to emer-
gency agencies and large groups OF
employees in various Government estab-
lishments. The hearings which have
been held on this measure the last
two weeks have been closed and the
testimony is to be printed.
The Ramspeck bill provides for this
extension of the civil service by COM
petitive examination. while the PreSi-
dents recommendation is for nom
competitive examinations. At least
90 per cent of the witnesses spoke in
favor of non-competitive examina-
tions. arguing that the experience of
those employees makes them more
valuable than inexperienced employees
who, fresh from school, might make
a few points higher rating in COM
petitive examinations.
The expense of holding the COM
petitive examinations was emphasized,
and it was argued that the work of
the Government would suffer through
disruption of the force and the delay
incident to the training of new en-
ployes unless the present force is re-
tanned through non-competitive ex-
aminations. The witnesses included
personnel officers of various units OF
the Government which would be af-
fected by the bill and Spokesman for
several organizations of employees.

always wanted to do, lynching will be
stopped"
In joint statement they said the
rising tide of sentiment in favor OF
such a bill is unmistakable Although
efforts to pass an anti-lynching law
have been unsuccessful for a number
of years. the sponsors Of the new bill
believe the prospects are brighter than
in the past
In further support of the bill, Wag-
ner and Van Nuys stated:
With unremitting regularity, lynch
ings have decreased under every threat
of Federal legislation upon the subject.
and increased whenever the hope of
passing such legislation seemed dim.
This is proof positive that congress
sional action would be an effective
check upon a crime which, both in its
immediate effects and its potential
evils, is one of the greatest threats
facing American life and institutions.
Double Breakdown Of Law.
"Those who are put to death. and
their families, are not the only VIC
tins of lynching. In every case,
there is a double breakdown of the
law-first, in permitting the crime.
and secondly in failing to punish the
perpetrators. Such q suspension of
law is q menace to the whole COM
munity concerned, and the menace Is
even greater in those all-too-frequent
instances where the community puts
its stamp Of passive approval upon
the outrages within its borders.
"The tragic events in other lands
today teach us that the intolerance
manifested by lynching must be
quenched before it grows into legalized
brutality: that the defense Of ali that
democratic institutions imply, If 1t Is
not to be too late, must begin as soon
Is the foundations Of liberalism are
attacked.
During the past so years. 5000
men, women and children have died
in orgies Of torture surprising the
inquisition. only because local authori-
ties have failed to prevent and failed
to punish. That Is why sincere op-
ponents Of lynching have long advo-
Gated the passage Of . Federal anti
lynching law"
