I read: First. we are convinced that almost 70 years of experience have proved that the civil service system of recruiting nonpolicy public servants on the basis of proven merit is superior to the patronage spoils system. For example. In recruiting immigration officers. would it not be a great thing for the Immigration Service to have its investigators selected by the local county committee of the Republican Party or of the Democratic Party? Would that not be a fine way to enforce the immigration laws? Would it not be a shame to have the FBIs top agents selected on the basis of whether the political parties are for them? Here is a United States marshal. who has worked with the FBI.
