HOUSE G. 0. P. HELD
MERIT SYSTEM FOE
Killed Two Measures Designed to
Aid Program, Earns
peck Says.
Bj the Associated Press.
Chairman Ram*peck of the House
Civil Service Committee, yesterday
blamed Republicans for the death of
two measures which he said would
have carried out the merit system
plank of the democratic platform.
One of the bills, seeking to place
first, second and third class postmas
ters on civil service, was passed over
twice when Republicans objected to it,
he said, then failed to get the neces
sary two-thirds after Minority Leader
Snell demanded a roll call vote.
"The Republicans must take the re
sponsibility for the failure of this
measure to pass In spite of the fact
that it carried out the views of their
presidential candidate.” the Geor
gian's prepared statement asserted.
The other, proposing to extend the
classified civil service to all positions
not already Included, was killed, Rams
peck said, when a Republican ob
jected to its passage on the consent
calendar. .
"It Is regrettable,” he said, "that
the Republicans could not forget par
tianship long enough to help make
this contribution to better govern
ment."

the officers are executives of big busi

fascism in the National Guard be
cause "Black Legion members had
free use of National Guard rifles in
preparing for their individual
murders."

situation was not as “bad" a* it some
time* seemed, since “a high percentage
of the enlisted men have laboring
clam tradition* *
He urged unionization of zhipyard
worker* and hinted at a general strike
as a means to prevent war.
“Don’t forget." Minor tokl the dele
gates. the basis for war is the pro
duction of the steel mills."
