WEAKER SEX?-The Civil Serv-

from q sheriff in Western State
complaining about the conduct OF
a woman postmaster in his area.
He accused her of "unladylike con-
duct"
Here are the contents of the
letter.,

our manners are all that they should
be, but we'd like to be reasoned with
and helped along. The postmis-
tress here is a worthy woman all
right, and there amt thing against
her character, but she certainly is
rude and hasty.

hiring them. Meanwhile, 1t Is
charged, the commission is not
doing anything to force the agencies
to hire them.
One suggestion being made is
that the commission suspend all job
promotions in the Government until
the career personnel are placed. In
that way, it's argued, Federal agen-
cies would be forced to find jobs
for these careerists Immediately.
Those advocating the plan say it
wouldn't hurt other Government
employees because all the careerists
could be placed within two weeks.
Just how much consideration this
plan will get is open to speculation.
At any rate, the persons involved
are hopeful the White House will
crack down on the commission and
the various agencies and give them
a deadline in which to find Govern
ment employment for all displaced
career workers. They point out it
