After de- jliberating that for some years, | Congress in 1889 came to the con- clusion that such tactics weren't | Strictly on the up and up and ‘passed a law that. no- secretary could sell himself government se- curities. ‘That's why Morgenthau, in spite { {6f being the Nation's No. 1 bond isalesman, is his own: worst pros- found level onto a small ficid peet. Proof of one of governmental , Washington's. worst employe |shortages is the way that the Civil Service Commission has lowered ‘the requirements on Stenographers and typists. It’s down now, according to an official who is supposed to know about such things to such a point that a 16-year-old student in high school typing can qualify for some of the jobs. The commission's fight to keep ahead of the demand for typists is desperate. Although more than 100,000 have taken the tests in six months or so, the list of “avail- ables” is reportedly decreasing.
