Mrs. Helen Terrill Mays may be appointed to a clerical position in the classified service of the Treasury Department without compliance with the requirements of the civil-service rules.

Mrs. Mays is the widow of William O. Mays, who served as prohibition administrator of the eleventh district, with headquarters at Louisville, Ky., from October 17, 1925, to the date of his death on November 2, 1929.
