indirect way of replying to charges
of the Democratic National Com
mlttee that he had threatened to
abolish Civil Service in Federal,
State and local governments
CAPITAL ROUNDUPAThe Civil
Service Commission says it will an
nounce the names of its seven-man
Federal Antidiscrimination Board
within the next two days. The
board will have charge of the pro-
gram to erase any discrimination
that may exist against Government
employees or Federal job applicants
because Of race. color or creed. .

the dates when you will be eligible
to receive the tickets. The ducats,
which are priced at 81 and $3.50,
cost Federal employees so cents-2

general has ruled that Federal
workers who are drafted into the
military service can be given grade
and within-grade promotions while

trict government employees were dis
appointed when the AFL American
Federation of Government En-
ployes failed to include an inn
mediate $3.50 pay raise for District
workers as part of its 27-point 1949
legislative program. AFGE ofhcialS
say this was an oversight and that
they will fight hard to get the in
crease for District government en-
ployeS, who were denied q raise by
Congress at the close of this years
regular session. Federal employees
were given the pay boost. but the
Districts fiscal problems prevented
District government workers from
getting the salary increase.
William T. Mcdonald is the Navy
Departments new director of its
Departmental Civilian Personnel
Division. The fixed notion
shared by many Government Of
ficials, as well as private industry
employers. that older workers are
inferior is disproved by a recent
survey made by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. On the basis OF its study,
the bureau concludes: Not only
may the worker in the 45-and-over-
age group offer more highly de-
veloped skills, more mature judg-
ment and more settled work habits,
as against the stamina and agility
OF youth, but he is frequently less
likely to be absent and is less prone
to injury than the younger worker"

JUNE EHBUSIEST
WEDDING MONTH
l39 Marriage Licenses
Issued Here In l947

There were 139 marriage lie
enses issued by Probate Judge
John w Daley and his deputies
during 1947 a check-up of records
inS his office reveals.
During 1916 173 licenses were
granted by tn e Court, making
one of the biggest years the Pro-
bate Court has ever had on
marriages. The. year before that,
only ll3 were issued.
More licenses were written in
June, 1947, the month of brides, !"
than any other month, 10 being
issued then. May, l947 had 20
licenses granted and was next in
line to June. Smallest months
were January and December, the
first and last months of the year,
each having only five licenses
issued.
While this year is down con-
siderably from 1916, when total
of 173 licenses were issued, it still
shows increase over the 113 total
of l945, the large number being
probably due to return of SER
vice men.
First license of the new year,
l947, was issued Jan. 18, to John
Belleville, 33, Marysville, and
Francis Traynor, "a, Marysville.
Last license of the year went
Dec. rs to Lloyd w. Cosgray, %,
Plain City, and Dorothy Andrews

three wears on licenses follows.
