to make way for the jobless perma-
Inent-status people.
But those career employees who
didn't file within 90 days are just
out of luck. Many of them con-
tend that, during the 90-day PERIOD
they found employment on a tenn

their applications with the commits

Now, many of them have lost
their temporary jobs and would like
to take advantage Of the DEE pro-
gram.
The commission is opposed to
granting them this right because
of its fear that it would set prece-

this would give employees who have

CLERICAL EXAMINATIONS
The Civil Service Commission has
changed It's mind about giving
another chance to those war-service
clerical employees who f1unked their
exams for permanent jobs.
The commission will give only the
lower-paid CALL and CAF-2 en-
ployees another chance to take the
exams, and these tests won't be
held for many weeks" yet. But
most of these employees are now in
CAF-3 and GAIA jobs which pay
considerably more money, and the
commission has no plans for further
tests in these job grades.
Many of these employees deserve
another chance to get permanent
status in the very jobs they now
are filling satisfactorily. Undoubt-
edly some failed to pass because of
extreme nervousness while taking
the exam.
All things considered, 1t would
seem the fair thing for the commits
sion to do is to give these employees
another chance to take and pass the
clerical examination. That's al
these clerks are asking-another
chance to make passing grade.

mended that the section be raised

NEW YORK, April 17.-The

KEGS and St. Louis Cardinals will
meet in the World Series next
October, according to the Ma

only after a closely waged battle

with enthusiasm over their pre-
season peek. The Mats were humil-

was the only spot where Keiser let
his team down-he missed the
ridiculously easy putt while team
mates and opponents guffawed.
National Open Champion Lew
Worsham was called on five times
by Hagen. On three holes, Lewis hit
short iron approach shots within
10 or Is feet of the pin and on the
difficult seventh hole he smacked
three-iron into the wind within
eight feet of the cup, one OF the
best shots of the day, but on the
218-yard par 8 fifth, Worsham hit
smothered hook with spoon that
finished in a trap halfway to the
green. At that, his team won the
hole, as Nelson hit spoon out OF
bounds and the Hagen team won
the par 3 with bogey 4. The
double -bogey posted by the Sara
zen team was the only hole on
which it went over par.
The only rule as to who could
/ hit the shots was that no player
could hit two in a row, except the
putters.
Tomorrow the players conclude
the 54-hole medal play tournament
with the select field chasing Sara
zen, who shot 63 yesterday
Whether Gene can continue the
pace over SO holes, however, is
problematical. His closest pursuers
are Keiser, who shot IS, and Metz
and Jim Ferrier with Cos. Ferrier
could not find his putting touch to-
day, although several stopped on the
lip in his role of putter for the
Hagen team.

of Calumet Farm who flew here for
