Local VA Office Dismisses 114

Personnel Slash Laid

ministration office, including non-| £ :

veteran workers with longtime service, was announced here today.

Personnel cuts were ordered in|

all VA regional offices because of a reduced agency budget, according to M. D. Cummins, regional VA manager here.

The employees were given dis- ]

missal notices early in the week, but the earliest dismissal date is

June 11, Mr. Cummins said. New| |

ceiling for the local office is 845 employees. ”

Hospitals Not Affected

The slash affects personnel in the VA office and medical section but not employees of Cold Spring Road and Billings Veterans Hospitals know,” Mr. Cummins asserted.

Longtime non-veteran employees caught in the slash were reported critical with the present veterans’ preference system. Veterans with short-time service are being retained while experienced workers are being dropped, it is reported. - Federal law requires that veterans be given preference under a Civil Service point system. In some instances non-veteran workers with as much as years’ government service are being dropped, it is reported.

Hwan Gun S800, in charge of a coast patrol. The vessel's skipper was identified as Lt. Cmdr. Lee Ki Chong. The ministry said the loyalty of both the officers was unquestioned and speculated that both had been killed or taken prisoner.
