All the three commissioners said
machinery for handling employe
grievances to be set up under the
personnel divisions created by the
executive orders that went into
effect February should be adequate
to settle most employe complaints,
Mr.. Ordway contending that this
would make the cost of an appeals
system impractical. Mrs. McMillin
agreed with Mr.. Mitchell, however,
that board Of appeals should be
established.
They pointed out that the Civil
Service Commission has no jurisdic-
ton over employe complaints, ex-
cept those of the commission itself,
and these are handled by six-mem-
Der conciliation committee which in
cludes three employe representa-
tives.
The commissioners also agreed
that promotions, particularly in the
lower brackets, should be based on
examinations as well as experience.
Mr.. Mitchell said examinations
were necessary to do away with
favoritism in promotions entirely,
although he believed only rela-
lively very small amount of favorit-
ism existed anyway.
The commissioners told Senator
Ellender that they would be glad to
assist the committee in drafting a
law to provide what he termed "a
real merit system" when the in
vestigation IS completed.

LIQUOR LICENSE
AGAIN SOUGHT

Providence, r. l., Oct 5.-(UP).-
Mrs. Angela C. Kaufman, wealthy
former wife of a safety razor blade
manufacturer, has made a new at
tempt to get liquor license before
surrendering her Newport estate to
Father Divine.
Through counsel, she appealed to
the state supreme court yesterday
to rescind decision of the New
port licensing board which refused
to grant liquor license for "The
Castle" the estate she turned into a
hotel.
Several months ago when refused
permission to sell liquor, Mrs. Kauf-
man said she would give or sell her
showplace to the Negro cultist. The
deal is being held in allegiance pend

aged By Blaze-0wner
at Services

Damage to supplies and woodwork
was accused by fire in a grocery
store this morning which brought
five companies of apparatus to As
Bishop street.
Cause of the blaze was attributed
by the fire marshals office to a
short circuit in the wires attached
to an electric plate behind coun-
ter.
Joseph Berenbaum, owner of the
store and the three-story building
in which it is located, left the groc-
cry at $50 o'clock with his wife to
attend services at the Kingsbury
street synagogue, and the blaze
broke out in his absence.
Deputy Chief Martin j. Campion
and Acting Deputy Chief Stephen
Bloomfield directed the firemen.
The blaze was discovered by Sam
uel Onalbo, OF Bishop street. The.
Berenbaums had used the electric
plate earlier in the morning to heat
coffee, officials said.
