Former Civil Service Commits
sioner Frances Perkins yesterday
called the political Schedule c
job classification set up by the
Republican administration last
April damaging to the inner Sc
curity. morale and attitude
toward life and the job in gen.
eral" Of the Government worker.
Miss Perkins told the Woman's
National Democratic Club that
she thought the new job category
for the placement of administra-
ton appointees in top policy
making positions has caused
some Of the best to begin losing
that initiative that Is their most
precious possession"
With the reminder that it was
the Republican Party that cham
pioned and set up the civil service
to replace the spoils system, Miss
Perkins said she was surprised
to see the Republicans of this
administration come out full
tilt against civil service"
The former Secretary of Labor
in the Roosevelt administration
said she thought the setting up
Of Schedule c was "a fancy way
Of getting rid of people in high
positions and high places"
She added that she understood
this was the administrators
way Of not wishing to make dis
missal "a personal matter"
why not make it a personal
matter" she asked? 1--WE want
to know it was a device, not a
necessity"
Miss Perkins paid tribute to
the present Civil Service Com
missioners. They're trying to
do a good job. They believe in
the civil service system" she
declared.

Peanuts, Prize Crop Of the Southland

You're wrong. If you think

the legumes. And like peas and
beans, they're good in main
dishes. in soups, and in COM
bination with other vegetables.
You're right. If you think they
make a worthwhile contribution
to the diet. They're exceptionally
high in niacin and also import

the vegetable foods. they rate
high in muscle-building protein.
Peanuts have q high fat content,
too. and this makes them q good
source Of food energy. For meat

For Australian Title

SYDNEY. Feb. l.-Lefthander
Mervyn Rose trimmed Rex Hart
wig. his doubles partner. 60.
0-6. Ga. 60. to win the Au-
stralian tennis championship
today.
Fortunes changed rapidly in
the first three sets, with Rose
taking the initiative first. Hart
wig broke his racquet early in
the first set and it took him
while to get used to the second
one.
But he played sensationally in
the second set. which lasted only
ten minutes. Rose never got to
deuce in any game and won only
eight points in the set.
Hartwig kept it up for a AZ
lead in the third set. but Rose
broke his service in the seventh
game. He did the same thing
in the ninth game, with the aid
of netcord shot that just tri-
ckled over the net, and held his
own service for the set.
HartWig never recovered his
second set form again. and Rose
took the decisive set without
being extended.
