GOVERNMENT WILL ASSIST WAR
WORKERS FIND JOBS.


WASHINGTON, d. C.-The thou.
sands of civilian war workers in
the government service who will
soon be dismissed because their SER
vices are no longer needed will be
assisted in finding unemployment
through plans now being arranged
by the United States Civil Service
Commission.
On the recommendation of the Civ
il Service Commission the President
issued on November 20 and execu-
tive order which provides that the
names of persons in the competitive
classified civil service with unre-
stricted status who were appointed
either permanently or PROBATIONARY
prior to the date of the order, who
have served less than three years,
because of reduction in force and
who are separated from the service
who are recommended for further
employment by the government be-
cause of demonstrated efficiency in
the office from which they are sep
arated will, upon request, be entered
by the Civil Service Commission up
on appropriate eligible registers for
reappointment, eligibility thereon to
continue for one year from the date
of separation. The reemploymen
registers thus established will be
used so far as is practicable for fill.
ing positions in the government ser.
vice.
1t is expected, however, that there
will be a surplus of eligibles on the
unemployment registers, and in or
der that those who cannot be re-
placed in the government service
may find positions in private en-
ploy, the Civil Service Commission
has asked the cooperation o, the
department rs labor in tn. work If

realized that a considerable number
