In the open championship tour
ney of the United States Chess
Federation at Detroit, the first
seven rounds were a field-day for
Larry Evans, the youngster who
has monopolized the Marshall
Chess Club title for several years.
He won his first six games. taking
a clear lead when he defeated
Hans Berliner of Washington in
round s., and holding it in round
7 when he drew with jeremiah F.
Donovan, a fellow-member of the
Marshall Club, who stood second
in the race.
The Washington contingent of
four entries did remarkably well
in the first seven rounds. Undis-
mayed by his loss to Evans, the
District champion won from Paul
Poschel of Chicago in round 6 and
from his fellow-townsman, Ed
mund Nash, in round 7. This gave
Berliner a score of 6-1 and a tie
for second place with Donovan.

Clubs which have been study
ing the employment status Of the
older worker win note with in
terest some Of the findings in an
analysis Of women in top Federal
jobs released by the Women's Blu
reau Of the Labor Department.
A composite picture Of women
making $1,000 or more showed
that more than half of them were
IS years or older when they
reached their highest reported sal
ary, according to the bureau.
About three fourths who had
advanced to the higher salaried
occupations were 40 or older and
more than third were so or older.
The analysis is based on a study
Of the careers Of 730 women in
top Government jobs, dating from
the peak of wartime employment,
In 1943. to 1947.
The report points to an zap
propriate advance" to higher SAL
aried positions with increasing age
and consequently experience
although only up to a certain level.
OF some 100 women aged IS or
older, about IS were reported who
received salaries as high as $1,000
and the majority of these were
professional women. More than a
third had 20 years or more of Gov
ernment experience before reach
ing these salaries, while the war
years provided the opportunity to
well over third.
Thirteen Of the women IS or
older had salaries as high as
$1,000 or more. While reports
were incomplete as to their train
ing and experience, those avail

 Volunteers are assuming the varied responsibilities about the rink. Bill Hunt has offered his services as floor supervisor.

 Four-year-old Darrell Blakes- ley, who performed so creditably when the rink opened last spring, is still most proficient. He skates like a veteran now, and he's sure he's much improved over his in- itial effort.
