cision las it exhibited throughout

war specialties continued to at
tract a certain demand, numerous

The approaching triple holiday
lightened attendance in boardrooms

The victorious Allied drive toward
Hitler's stronghold held virtually oil

stressed questions regarding the pos
sible impact Of reconversion on mar
kets. Stock customers, consequent

operations. A boost of $4,000 to
$64 900 in the sale of a Stock Ex-

The Civil Service Commission
ruld today that q Government ap-
pointing officer may require vet

aminations but that the expense OF

sibility for determining the physical

The officers can request examina-
tions when there is a reasonable
doubt about the physical condition
Of the returning employees.
When a veteran Is not physically
qualified for his old Job, or to one
Of like seniority, status and pay, the
commission ruled, the agency should
make every effort to place him else
where.
The commission offered further
protection to returning Government
workers by ordering that If veteran
cannot be placed in any other posi-
ton in certain agency, all infor-
nation on the case will be sent to
the commission which then will try
to locate other jobs in the Federal
service for the veteran
A disabled veteran should not be
denied re-employment unless his
disability would make performance
OF duty impossible or reduce his eff
cheney Ito a level below that nor
tmally expected OF an acceptable en-
'ploye" or If his presence would jeop-
ardize the safety of himself or of
others, the commission ruled.
