President Harding has taken the position that presidential appointments are not within the scop'; of the civil service law. As result ho is not required to appoint ex-service men . ?" in the event they are Demoer?t-f. There have ben in consequence certain notable alleged discrimination against Democratic ex-service men who have actually scored the highest marks in examinations. It is also charged that in Southern states where Republicans are few, newcomers, residents of limited years, are appointed. This has given rise to a charge of carpetbaggism. The Fletcher bill would force the appointment of ex-service men who . make the nocpssarj' grade. But it is predicted' geheVWly that.* Republicans will -prevent'its adoption either by committee or Congress. Ada D.
