This classification is the result of months' of intensive study directed by Secretary of the Commonwealth Clyde Li. King, in the course of which every job on Capitol Hill was what may be called "analyzed." As indicated before in this column the classification will affect hundreds of people and will establish an initial salary. It is regarded by people who have followed it as one of the important achievements of the Pin chot administration. Allocation of the amounts allowed for printing, binding, telephone rental and messages and telegrams among the various departments is to be followed up monthly. The telephone allottment follows the prolonged study of such charges against each department made by Dr.

King's staff! and which created considerable stir when first displayed on the charts in the Governor's office last month. The plan has the hearty approval of the Governor. The printing allocation follows a study of State printing made last year and the experience of Deputy Secretary A.
