The article presents information on various political developments. People should like to hail U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's order of July 12 in regard to postmasterships as a praise- worthy extension of the civil service and a step away from the spoils system in public office. At first glance the order had some such appearance. Unfortunately, examination of the details compels the disappointing conclusion that the order is only a political flourish and fails to advance the progress of a non-partisan government personnel in any substantial way.
