By William E. Taylor Dean, Lincoln Univ- School of Law ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21. (ANP)—The board of legal examiners of the civil service commission, headed by the solicitor general, Charles Fahy, has announced an examination for the establishment of its first register of eligibles for appointment to the first four grades of the federal legal servlice. The written portion of the examination will be given April 11. Applications to take the examination must be filed with the civil service commission in Washington not later than March 3. Forms may be obtained from any of the commission’s offices. The board of legal examiners, composed of 11 lawyers within and without the federal service, was established by Executive Order No. 8743 or April 23, 1941. This action by the President carried into effect the recommendations of the committee on civil service improvement. headed by Mr. Justice Stanley Reed, and for the first time establishes a career service for all of the more than 8.000 legal positions in federal agencies. The written examination to be given April 11 will be the first part of the qualifying test as a whole, which will include also an evaluation of the applicant’s record of trainiing or experience and an oral examination by one of a number of regional boards of examiners drawn from the courts, tbe law schools and bar. The positions which will be open to those qualifying in this examination range in salary from $1,800 for law school graduates not yet admitted to the bar to $3200 for grade P-3. Higher positions in the career service, with salaries ranging from $3800 for grade P-4 to $6500 for grade P-7, will ultimately be filled from lists established through evaluation of records and oral examinations without resort to written tests. At present the various federal law offices continue to do their own selecting. subject to the approval of each appointee by the board of
legal examiners.
It is the hope of the board of legal examiners that its methods of selection. leaning heavily upon the courts, the law schools and the bar dn judging the capacity of applicants, will meet with the favor of the profession and will induce applicants from lawyers who may be interested in government service. The demands of the war are being^reflected in expansion of goverment legal work and in enhanced turneover of personnel, occasioned by transfers and by military service. Although the number of interested lawyers appears now to be in excess of the positions to be filled, this situation may not endure irdifinitely. In any event, the government is anxious to make use of the best available legal talent. Since much of it. for a time at least, must come from the older members of the bar. many may wish to come forward who in normal times might not find it desirable to do so. With this in mind, the examination for the lower grades will be thrown open without the imposition of a maximum age, other than the retirement age. Special announcements will be made from time to time concern ing higher positions to be ftHed.

WASHINCTON. Feb. 20. (ANP) — With the United States Merchant marine in need of 40,000 sailers and seamen, and 10.000 additional licensed marine officers, the opportunity presents itself for Negroes to take advantage of this shortage by applying for seagoing positions. This announcement comes with the scheduled launching and commissioning of more than a thousand new merchant ships within the next year or two. these being beyond the ships to be constructed for the navy. To man and operate the new vessels under construction and those ,to be built to carry the commerce of the countvy. the U. S’. Maritime commission wasn’t a great many marine officers and sailors. As an inducement to sign up for the positions, liberal bonuses are offered for seamen who will take the risk of sailing on ships in waters infested by belligerants. Many seamen apparently decided to renounce the sea as a business or profession; some have left that kind of work to enter the arms and ammunition industry. These losses leave the old ships undermanned and almost no crews at all for the new boats; and yet the merchant shipping (business must be carried on as it is necessary to v inning the war. The idea behind all of this is that young men going into the merchant marine are doing much for their country in its national defense program. Already training centers are in operation, putting out about 10.000 seamen a year, but it is held that four or five times that number will be required. To this end. the commission is busily refitting training ships and expanding facilities. Lately two 5,000-ton liners and a HS-foot yacht have been taken over for the duration of the war for use in training new recruits, together with 18 other vessels, ranging iii size up to the 10.000-ton American Mariner. More.however, will be added to the present num-
ber.
In charge of tihe actual training of sailors and marine officers is the United Slates Coast guard. At advantageous coastal points, apprentices between the ages of 18 and 23 are taught in schools the rudi- j meats of seamen’s trade. Two ,
