REFORMS PROPOSED
CIVIL SERVICE IN U.S. HIGHER POSTS INCLUDED (Reed. Feb. 25, 11 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. President Roosevelt has sent to Congress the recommendations of the committee appointed to inquire into civil service reform, with the object of eliminating the traditional'“spoils” system. If adopted, the recommendations will include in the classified civil service all jobs except policy making and those requiring Senate confirmation. President Roosevelt said: “We have been rather laggard in extending the civil service to the higher positions requiring initiative, imagination and flexibility. We ought to achieve for them independence and security which assures conditions of the best governmental service.”
