Executive Order 1144

Mr. James B. Davies may be appointed a clerk in the Division of Far Eastern Affairs, Department of State, without regard to the civil-service rules, as recommended by the Secretary of State with the concurrence of the Civil Service Commission, because of most efficient service for the past two years as a clerk in the American embassy at Tokyo, Japan, and the transfer being a matter of importance at this time, as Mr. Davies has come to possess much special knowledge of affairs in the Far East. He was formerly in the classified service, appointed through competitive examination, and has served both in this country and in the Canal Zone.
