agency-by-agency reductions.

Delay Asked

Sen, Olin D. Johnston (D, 8. C.), the Postoffice and Civil Service Committee chairman, has asked Civil Service Commission to hold up its plan for a new government job appointment system until his investigating staff can examine it. He says he doesn’t oppose the planned system-—just wants to make sure it won't add new red tape. His request means the planned

presidenial executive order, put-| ting the new system into effect,

probably will be delayed several weeks or longer. It also will delay the resumption of permanent job appointments in the postal service and hold up streamlining of government layoff systems. > The new system would create a

new kind of job appointment, to = be known as reserve for present] 4ndefinite workers who won their|

jobs by taking regular, competitive Civil Service exams. Reserve] appointments also would go to| future employee who entered gov-| ernment by the exam route. | The years-old practice of granting probational (permanent) appointments to such employees would be discontinued,

Three Ways

Once the new appointment system goes into effect, Civil Servfce Commission says there will be three ways indefinite employees who entered government without taking regular Civil Service exams can qualify for reserve status: ONE—If Civil Service has an exam open for a job such as the one the employee now holds, he can qualify for a réserve appoint ment by passing this exam. His name will be placed on an eligible list along + with others who passed, and when his name fis reached, he will get reserve status. TWO-If Civil Service has no exam open for the job the employee now holds, but does have one open for some other job he

Roundup

A House Post Office and Civil Service subcommittee has approved a bill to extend veterans preference to July 2, 1952. As it stands now, persons called to military duty since Apr. 19, effective date of the Japanese peace treaty, get preference only if assigned to areas for which campaign ribbons are awarded-—-Ko-rea, for example. . . .
