Another Commerce Department official, Charles C. Concannon '11, a division chief in that Office of International Trade, added that men who approach the top rauks of federal civil service receive a retirement allowance of from $4800 to $5000 per year.
Candidates for the State Department face more competition and stiffer requirements than beginners in any other section of government service, Christian M. Ravndal, director general of the Foreign Service said. "We must have the highest type of young man, since the nature of our work must exclude any second raters...
Potential State Department men should have a Bachelor of Arts degree and if they are interested in the foreign service division of the State Department they face a battery of "difficult, searching examinations," Ravndal disclosed.
Those who pass the examinations receive specialized training and then are assigned to any sort of post at the discretion of State Department officials. If a young foreign service man is not promoted within a period of eight years, he is removed from the service.
A summer student training course for position in the Commerce Department was described by Concannon. Juniors in college may take a relatively easy exam in the spring to get into a three month program during which trainees are paid $675.
