The award was announced by
Labor Secretary Durkin under

You have succeeded excep-
tionally we'll in causing industry
to employ large numbers of ap-
prentices and a very high COM
pletion rate of such apprentices
has been achieved" Mr.. Durkin
declared in a letter to Mr.. SINH.
Mr.. Simi is also executive Sec

IStossen Noses Out Jackson,
Wins Bet on Aptitude Test

day on bet to Mr.. Stassen. The
bet was that he could beat his
Republican friend on q Civil
Service aptitude test.
Working fast after the two
high officials completed the
examination yesterday. Civil
Service personnel discovered
that Mr.. Stassen won the wager
by small margin.
Both men got exactly the
same score on reading COM
prehenSion. Each correctly an
sWered 38 of the As questions.
Wins On Public Affairs.
Mr.. Stassen won the contest
by making a better showing in
the public affairs section. He
correctly answered So of the 10
questions, while Mr.. Jackson was
right on 40.
Similar tests are being given
to 1,700 employees at Mr.. Stass-
ems Foreign Operations Admin
istration. The results will help
officials pick 800 or 400 who
must be dropped to meet budget
cuts.
Most of the tests have been
given but scores have not been
announced. An agency Spokes-
man said the grades would be
revealed to employees but no
other persons than necessary.
For this reason and because
there is no stated passing"
grade in the aptitude test, COM
parsons could not be made be-
tween the performances of Mr..
StaSsen and Mr.. Jackson, and
the rest of those being subjected
to the stiff quiz.
Both Find 1t Tough.
Both of the high-ranking Of
f1cials told reporters that the
exam was tough. Mr.. Jackson
called it a real Stinker" and
conceded that it was much hard
er than he expected.
Mr.. Stassen described the test
as very difficult. He said it re-
quired deep concentration and
thought. But he said the test is
beneficial, adding that he saw no
harm in concentration and

The FOA employees take the
exam in two parts. All are re-
quired to answer questions in
the reading comprehension sec
ton. After that they may choose
between a test on public affairs
and one which is intended to
show administrative judgment.
Mr.. Stassen completed the
first two sections and then, with
time running out, tried his hand
at the third. The Civil Service
did not grade the third paper
because of ipcomp1etion. -.

Or. perhaps Mr.. Jackson used
the wrong psychology.
In any event, the Presidential
assistant would be better off to-

He said freedom is pitted against
slavery and light against dark.
