World Cruise in 20-Foot Ketch
Planned by Former Actor
Expects to Leave

Hurst B. Amyx, 2S-year-old for
mer Hollywood actor and producer
here to iron out final details Of hts
proposed four-year cruise around
the world in q small sailboat. will
follow in the footsteps OF Richard
Halliburton when he sails from Los
Angeles next month.
Mr.. Amyx is taking every precau-
ton, however, of coming back alive
when his 29-foot ketch pushes its
nose northward from the Panama
Canal to end its globe-circling tour
in California.
The smallest vessel to circumnavi-
gate the globe now on record was q
32-foot yacht, Mr.. Amyx points out.
With that in mind he ordered his
own ship designed less than 80 feet.
Three long" years, Mr.. Amyx
terms them, have been spent in pre-
pairing for the expedition which will
include an eight-months exploration
of Tibet.
A year ago he was all set to get
under way when the outbreak Of
war found his hackers unwilling to
sponsor a world cruise, and his first
boat was Sold Since then he has
supervised the construction of a
second boat and has seen to it that
no detail was overlooked.

and was intended as an additional
safeguard for the earlier action Of
the Senate in striking out the Kel-
ler- Nichols amendment, adopted by
the House, which would have ex-
cluded from the bill employees here
from States which have more than
their quota of positions in the ap-
portioned service. This particular
phase of the bill may provide a
principal bone of contention in the
House.
The bill finally was passed after
being debated intermittently in the
Senate since last Friday. Adoption
became virtually assured yesterday
afternoon. however, when the Sem
ate voted, 46 to IT, against an
amendment offered by Senator FL
lander, Democrat, of Louisiana to
force competitive examinations on
persons who become eligible for
civil service by Its terms. AS the
measure now stands, non-competi-
tive tests approved by the Civil
Service Commission will be required
to qualify incumbents to retain their
places when the President brings
the positions under civil service by
executive order. Senator Mead,
Senator White and Majority Leader
Barkley led the fight on the Ellender
amendment.
The Ramspeck bill, sponsored by
Representative Ramspeck, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, chairman of the
House Civil Service Committee, long
has been advocated by employe
groups and civil service organiza-
tions. 1t covers only positions ex-
cepted from civil service by law.

Steffes and Barker both hurled good ball but 3

tomers under pressure all the way. Mere than ever
it becomes apparent that in softball bad break

In that first stanza the Reps made their blunder.

the aritimes slugging third baseman promptly scored
them both with screaming homer that cleared Left
fielder Eddie Tr'mbules head by good twenty feet.
TIE Reps tried but they might just we'll have gone
