Finally Churchill wearily heaved himself to his 'feet and walked out with head bowed. On young Queen Elizabeth fell the heavy task of making the final decisione bn her grandmother’s funeral as it did on the death of her father only a little niore |than a year ago. V Queen blary’s illness had been described, as a “gastric complaint." It was tfar more serious than that. No official statement was made but it was known that she had' suffered a severe internal hemorrhage Monday night. One of her attending physicians,' Lord Webb-Johnson, is a cancer specialist. ; Elizabeth saw her grandmother for the last time at 4:46 p. m.

1,700 Postmaster Plums For G. 0. P. Discard Old Os Examinations WASHINGTON, UP—Patronage hungry Republicans were offered anew try today at nearly 1,700 vacant postmaster jobs. The dishful of political plums was “uncovered by a joint a'ction of postmaster general Arthui E. Summerfield and Philip Young, new iphairipan of the civil service commission. They announced new civil service examinations will be conducted fir- nearly 1.700 vacant first, second and third class postmasterships; Old lists of those who passed the Examinations during the Truman administration will be discarded. : Summerfield and Young said the new examinations will be held as part of a program to establish higheir standards of eligibility and carry out! Summerfield’s pledge to put the post office on a sound business basis by employing “only those who are thoroughly capable of running a business organisation.” At the jsame time the new examinations Iwilj open a patronage avenue which the Eisenhower ministration found virtually closed when it came into power two months ago. The procedure for appointing postmasters is a compromise between the civil service merit teih and the demands Os practical politics. Civil service tions are held, and the three high-est-scoring hpplicants for each job go on an “eligibility" list. The president then nominates one of these three for the job. Actually, the choice is usually made by the member of congress from that district, if he happens to belong to the president’s party, or by local political leaders. When the Republicans took office they found to their embarrassment that all three eligible applicants for piany postmasterships were Democrats. The reason was that Republicans hadn’t bothered to take civil service examinations during the long Democratic tenure of office, figuring there wasn’t any point in K. Young stressed that the new examinations do not affect some 20,000 incumbent postmasters who have permanent status under civil service rules.
