The shapely turn of an ankle, the Senator remarked, is often more ef- | fective in_helping a girl get a good job than is the skillful twist of the | wrist that makes her rival a superla- tive stenographer. Ellender began his inquiry several weeks ago after some government workers had complained that, effic- | ient though they were, they remain- |ed in low-grade jobs while their | prettier colleagues obtained promo- | tions. Ever since he has been trying to find out how Congress could pass a | |law, or write a policy, that would | | make merit alone the standard of employment and promotion. His problem, he said, is complicat- ed by the fact that most govern- | ment officials are men. It is an| everyday truism, he added, that men | like pretty girls better than their | | unattractive sistes |ATLIN MINING MAN IS ABOARD PRINCESS BOAT John Noland Alhn mining man | and brother of Roy Noland, well known Juneau man with the Ju- | neau-Douglas Telephone Company, passed through Juneau yesterday on | the Princess Louise. | Noland is returning to his claims | on Spruce Creek, planning to ex- | pand drift placer operations con- siderably this summer. | GOVT.
