not yet been selected. But they
declare emphatically that the
appointee will be a man Of
outstanding ability and reputa-
ltion.
They acknowledge that Mr..
Jones has been an excellent
chairman, and has strong BIZ
partisan support in Congress.
But they declare that Mr.. Ken
nedy feels it Is only proper that
o Democrat head the csc dur
ing his administration.
There also are reports that
Mr.. Kennedy will try to per-
suade Associate Democratic
Commissioner Fred Lawton to
retire, so that the new Presi-
dent can appoint to the csc
two Democrats Of his own
choice. Mr.. Lawton's term has
1.-TWO years more to go.
AS matters stand now there
will be only one vacancy on the
commission when the term Of
Republican Barbara Gunder-
son expires in February.
Since there will be strong de-
mands from Democratic women
that q member of their own
sex be appointed to I'LL the
vacancy. this would not leave
any room for q new chairman
to be selected unless Mr.. Law
ton retires or q woman is not
appointed. It is traditional as
well as practical that the csc
chairman beta man.
A career eknploye Of 40 years
standing, Mr. Lawton has had
. distinguished career in Gov
eminent. He has been q csc
commissioner for the last eight
years. Since his long years of
service would give him an an
nuity Of about $4,000 a year,
some Democrats feel he might
be willing to retire in order to
give Mr.. Kennedy a chance to
name his own chairman.
DECISION DUE-The Civil
Service Commissions legal d.
vision next week will hand
down its decision in the case
of William c. Doherty, presi-
dent Of the National Associa-
ton of Letters Carriers, who
IS charged with violating the
Hatch Act by lending his name
to a newspaper ad which in
dorsed the presidential candi-
dacy of Senator Lyndon john
son.
! POSTAL MODIFICATION
The Post once Department
has modified its work meass-
urement scheme which has
been so strongly criticized by
potal employe unions.
Postal regional Offices have
been given authority to order
the elimination of the work
measurement scheme, which
postal unions charge is a
speedup device, in post offices
in which fewer than rs clerks
are engaged in mail distribu-
ton. The work measurement
scheme, in which the produc-
tivity of each worker is
checked. will continue to apply
in post Offices where rs or more
workers are engaged in mail
distribution.

death, and the accidental death of
their second son caused Mr.. Will

him in a wheel chair, unable to

boy and took over the home and

He had still another blow COM
ing because when he asked his
father to turn over his savings to
him he soon learned the father had
used all Of his savings and Bob
had only a few dollars in his saw
ings account.
Bob almost broke under this, but
he sat down and after trying to
see how far the money would go
he decided he had just enough to
buy a second hand bicycle. He said
he had to have the bicycle in order
to look for a job. He has gone
through great deal more sorrow
than many people four times his
age but he was young and strong
and now, four years after his first
great loss, his mothers death, he
took the advice of a neighbor and
has entered college on his CT
