President Truman made a good
beginning in the right direction by
his naming Of Judge Mollison to
the United States Customs Court
and Of Dean HASTE to the COVER
norship Of the Virgin Islands. But
with 2,4OO,OOO civilian employees on
the Federal payroll, and with col
ored voters in Atlanta (Georgia)
deciding a Congressional election,
it's time for greater recognition TO
be extended colored people in the
handing out Of patronage and for
colored civil service applicants TO
be chosen on the basis Of merit
and not turned down because Of
race or color.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-03-08

But Judge Herman f. Moore Of
the United States Court for the
Virgin Islands would not benefit
under the salary schedule proposed
by Mr.. Flemming for United States
judges. Mr.. Flemming recon-
mended a salary Of $4,000 a year
for each judge of district courts,
including the associate justices of
the District Court Of the United
States for the District Of Columbia,
and the judges in Puerto Rico,
Hawaii, and Alaska exercising fed
eral jurisdiction, and each judge Of
the United States Customs Court.

As a matter Of fact, in offices
requiring Senate confirmation
ground has been lost since the Taft
Administration. In the lower and
middle brackets, in relative num-
bers, there also was a decrease in
clerical jobs held by colored per-
sons between the Taft Administra-
ton and the outbreak Of World
War II. The requirement Of photo
graphs Of applicants for civil ser
vice jobs and the discretion allowed
appointing officers TO choose one
Of three persons certified for a job
accounted for this decline.

All Of these jobs represent mere
crumbs from a heavily-laden pat
ronage table. The right to hold
office is a prerogative Of citizen
ship. But the appointment Of col
ored people to office has not been
made in proportion to their ad-
vancement, their Importance as

in bureaucracy.

Crosby 50. AnsOnia 80

A scoring spree in the final per-
Tod almost turned a defeat into a
victory for Jimmy Lees Blue and
White Cagers as they were edged
by a favored visiting array, by /
point
The East Main Streeters were hot
in the first period and cold in the
second, while they were terrible in
the third quarter and greatly inn
proved in the last stanza of mod
erately fast ball game. This was
the way in which one Of this sea-
sons most closely contested games
went. as the Blue and White shot
into the lead in the opening min
utes Of the first period but were on
the shot end of a IA to II score go
ing into the second quarter. Dick
Creedon, the WATERFOWL wonder
boy" was the spark Of the CROSBY
quintet in the opening period as he
dropped in the first doubleton OF the
game to give the Blue and White
stock a considerable boost. In the
second period Ansonia with Frank
Casalvieri, and Tom Casagrande
forged a point lead on the basis
of their clock work precision under
the basket This was the kind OF
shot which lost the ball game for
the locals. The score at the half
time was Ansonia %. Crosby 10.
During the third stanza the Leemen
played like a new team and cut the
visitors lead to points by out
scoring them to 5. and put them
selves back in the ball game. much
TO everyones amazement. In the
final frame, the Jarvis quintet was
outscored but not outstepped as
Crosby tossed in 9 points TO the
visitors 6. But the whole trouble lay
in the fact that Crosby missed as
many shots as they dropped in. The
final score was Ansonia 80. Crosby
80. Plea was high for Crosby with
8 counters. while Winnie Drake and
frankie Alu sank 81 counters for
the visitors, between them.

Marcel Hansenne, the thin, dark
haired French track champion.
completed training today for his
American mile debut with quotable
caution and a wide smile which in
dicated great expectations.
Marcel. who will make his first
start on boards in the Millrose A. A.
mile feature at Madison Square
Garden Saturday night. indicated
that his chief worry was one Leslie
MacA6itchell. The French 1900
meter king saw black Mac win the
Philadelphia mile in 4;l4l and it
gave him ideas.
One was that he can ignore the
three other runners in the Millrose
feature and concentrate on Amer
ica's comebacking 1912 mile cham
pion. Another, unVoiced but easily
recognized, was that he is confident
sooner or later Of taking Mac
MitchelfS measure-and thinks it
might as well be sooner.
II will shadow MacMitchell,"
Marcel murmuered through an in
Z terpreter, IF the pace is slow
throughout it may leave ME enough
strength 10 battle 1t out in the
stretch and make things more in
teresting."
MacMitchell's man hope appear
ed 70 be fast pace that would take
the sting from Mareel's finish. For
Mac does not have a great finishing
kick" and Marcel has exceptional
pickup, once having run the quar-
ter in IS seconds.
'@I'he time do not care about"
Hansenne jOked. Il can promise you
though, that I'll do under five min
lltes."
This refusal 10 estimate his time
made IL evident that the French
runner enjoyed the advantage OF
being an unknown. His smiling adj
mission that he felt good and
liked running on the boards show
ed, too. that he was just about ready
To give II the works. II so, 1t could
be enough 10 win, for he ran
4:Oa2 mile In Sweden last summer
nat the odds are that he will be
hiding hts time In this one and
getting the competitive feel on
boards,
His and MacMitchell's opposition
will include Bill Leonard Of Notre
Dame; Tom Quinn, former central
