George R. Wales. a member of the Civil Service Commission, testified that the commiesion is strongly in favor of the apportionment ruie in making appointments to the service, hut declared that after emploves are in the servics tha prohlem of separa- tlon should not be on the apportion- mant rule. Commissioner Wales testified that.

One provides that appointments ‘shall be made from those standing highest in examina- | tione and the other section requires that the Government positions shall be apportioned to the States on the haais of population. . fMr. Wales said the commission tried vg make rules that would carry out the intent of both sections in so far ag possihle. He explained that the States are divided into groups. with those that have the smallest percent- age of their quotas at the top. The her States are listed from that point wn, according to how they stand with regard to apportionment. When vacancies are to be filled the commis- sion takes from each group of States those persons who made 30 per cent o more in the axamination. In this way the commission seeks to abide by the two conflicting provisions of the law.
