A recent, Washington special says
•'A general policy as to federal appoint
ments was determined upon by the
president, and his cabinet at their semi
weekly meeting. At the conclusion of
the meeting it was announced that for
the present, at least the uniform policy
would be to retain incumbents in office
during satisfactory service. This
policy will hold, it was stated further,
entirely irrespective of the length of
service of the incumbent. The policy
announced is to apply generally to all
departments of the government. It is
in precise line to the determination
reached and announced some time ago
