Doyle, secretary of the commission, many Federal employes beyond the age of 74 years who had hoped to continue their service may be dropped after August 30. Already a number of formal applica- | tlons for continuances under the amendment to the act, passed by the last session of Congress, have been | ' denied by the commission. It was | thought, however, that under the ]awi some continuances could be granted. \} ¥ ‘The amendment known as the Dale- | . \ Lehlbach retirement bill provided that | where an employe was possessed of | “expert knowledge and special quahfi-i : 10 TH11™™'F aND G STREETS cations” and his continuance in office would be “advantageous to the public | service,” this employe might be con- tinued beyond the age of 74. i Secretary Doyle explained that the act will have administered without re- | gard to sentiment and that to continue an employe beyond the age of 74 under the act, the employe must be an out- standing expert whose quifting would be a loss to the public service. | The Dale-Lehlbach retirement bill amended an act of July 3, 1926, which provided that after August 30 of this year no employe of the Government should be continued in the service be- d the age of retirement for more four years. This meant that a Government worker in the 70-year re- tirement class, would have to leave when he reached the age of 74. The Dale-Lehlbach act will allow some to be continued beyond 74, but these per- sons will have to measure up to cer- tain strict requirements of the law.

LONDON, July 16.—English newspa- pers togay were treating as a first page sensation a story from Roanoke, Va., of an glleged swindle in Wales in con- nection. with betting on Bobby Jones and other stars in the British open gold championship. So far it appears as thomgh nobody in Great Britain knows anything concerning the affair, or if they do they are keeping very quiet about it. Sleuths of the golfing world are busy on such slim clues as are available, but nothihg tangible has yet been re- ported. Quite independently of this muddle, there have been other stories of re- ported huge winnings of American bet- ters on Jones through “Lloyds.” But tangible evidence of this is almost | equally elusive. Any one of Lioyds 4,000 or so member$ might hawe handled the reported deals without the Lloyds Institution as a whole being any the wiser it is explained. Dispatches from Roanoke, yesterday said that an enthusiastic golfer, who sent some money to a pari-mutual com- panv at Cordiff, Wales, had received ® cable saying that the company had « ‘puited. leaving no address.
