DISPUTE ON
RATINGS Of
SOLDIERS
Many OF High Efficiency Under
Law Face DismissaI From
Their Positions.

President Harding will be appealed
to within few days by the heads Of
the American Legion and Veterans
Of Foreign Wars in the District Of
Columbia to Immediately issue an
Executive order which will prevent
the dismissal Of hundreds Of ex-
service men holding Government
positions who are to be released on
June 80.
RESULT OF CONFERENCE.
At a conference yesterday between
Herbert d. Brown, director of the
Bureau of Efficiency; Col. James A.
Drain and Col J. s. Easby-Smith. of
the American Legion. and Capt. Ed
ward Bethlehem, of the Veterans of
; Foreign Wars, II was decided that the
only way IN which the ex-service men
could be saved from dismissal would
be by an Executive order. signed by
the President stating that no hon
orably discharged ex-service man.
whose record as a Government em-
ploye is good" shall be discharged
from employment.
The President will be asked to issue
an Executive order requesting the de-
partment heads to Immediately decide
upon q uniform method OF efficiency
ratings for the ex-service men. and to
definitely determine just what per-
centage Is considered good"
while there IL already law pro-
vidins that no ex-service men holding
honorable discharges shall be dis
missed from the Government service
whose efficiency ratings are good"
yet hundreds of men whose ratings
are as high as S6 and 30 per cent
have received notice that they will be
dismissed on June 30." declared Col
opel Easby-Smith today.
"In order to make this law fully
effective and to prevent the dismissal
necessary for the department heads
to determine what IL meant by a
good rating" he said.
DOUBT OVER RATINGS.
= Department heads, 1t is stated.
while heartily In favor of retaining
the ex-service men. have not yet de-
cided what percentage OF efficiency
ratings shall be considered good
or, at least, good enough to show q
preference to the ex-service men In
reducing their forces, as provided by
law.
The service men themselves are at
loss to understand why they are
being dismissed when the law
retained IL their efficiency ratings
are good.
I'VE hope that the President will
issue such an Executive order not
later than June 81" stated Colonel
Easby-Smith.
