WASHINGTON, July 6. The coun
try Is about to be treated to a unique
phenomenon: In a few days, a group
of civil service reformers Is going
political and a group of politicians Is
going reform,
v And for the first time In many an
administration, there seems to be a
chance that a step will really be taken
to check the spoils system.
The plan of strategy which has
been pretty definitely, but privately,
decided upon Is as full of perplex
ing paradoxes as Pennsylvania avenue
Is of Boy Scouts.
All this will take place at the hear
ings on the government reorganiza
tion bill. This newly-framed mea
sure Is a good political bill, carved
by a good politician out of the more
Idealistic magnum opus of the presi
dent's committee on administrative
management of the fedreal govern
ment. The new, realistic document sweeps
a great many smaller jobs right, off
the pie counter and Into the classi
fied civil service. But In the same
breath it creates nearly 2000 fresh
political plums by taking this num
ber of bureau chiefs out of the ser
vice and making them appointive.
Point number 2 likewise looks
strange and out of place In a bill
to further the merit system: The
president would appoint, without ex
amination, a civil service adminis
trator. (Of course, all these appointments
would be subject to confirmation by
the senate.)
How can the reformers swallow ail
this?
...-.Well, hero la their cxpl: nntlon:
"If we don't get some reform in
government now, with public opinion
at least to some degree awakened,
when will we ever get anything?
"We are approaching the hearings
with the assumption that the pur
pose of the bill la to strengthen the
merit system. We will point out that
If this Is the case, certain amend
ments will lmprovo it."
They will, for Instance, urge that
the civil service administrator be re
quired to pass an examination.
Attempts will be made to straight
en out some highly ambiguous lan
guage In the bill, and to limit the ex-

LOS ANGELES, July 6. (AP)
Safe from possible mob violence, but
with prosecutors determined to ask
hts death, a 32-year-old WPA worker
paced a cell In the hall of Justice
today after confessing, Detective
Lieutenant Leroy Sanderson said, to
the allocking at tack -slaying of three,
little girls.
By his own words, Albert Dyer
branded himself, Sanderson aald, aa
the strangler responsible for the
deaths of Madeline Everett, 7; her
sister, Melba, 8; and Jeanette Ste
phens, 9, whose violated bodies were
found last Monday In a ravine of
Baldwin hills, near suburban Ingle
wood, where they had disappeared
from Centlnela park the previous
Saturday.
To ,Uk Death Verdict.
"We shall, of course, ask for the
death verdict," said District Attor
ney Buron Pitta when Dyer's pur
ported confession was obtained last
night.
Dyer, employed by the WPA to
guard children at a street crossing,
broke down after nearly 11 hours of
constant grilling. A threat to take
him from the hall of Justice to
In trie wood, where enraeed cttleena
had milled about the small police
station during questioning of sua

suspect's composure. Detective San

"Well, I did It."
In a few minutes hla wife, Mrs.
Isabelle Dyer, reached hla side. "Ha

cried.
His voice hardly above a whisper.
Dyer told a ring of official question-

other motlvo than sex It wasn't re

clared to have admitted, he waa ac
quainted with the three young vic
tims and had developed "more than
a liking" for them.
On the morning of the fatal Sat
urday, he played with the girls la
Centlnela park. Detective Sanderson
asserted the guard laid plans for tha
lustful crime at this time, persuading
the childish trio to "hunt rabbtta"
In the nearby hills after he finished
work at noon.

want them to, but Z kept telling
them how much fun It was and
