Truman Issues Order
Returning u. 5. Hiring
ID peac efinle Basis
Veterans, War Service
Appointees to Have
Preference for Jobs
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

President Truman today issued
an executive order returning
Government hiring policies from
a wartime to peacetime basis
and directed, the Civil Service
Commission to take steps i'm
mediately to hold examinations
for peacetime positions.
Under the Presidents order. vet
Grams and war service appointees
will have preference in obtaining
new jobs in the Government.
During the interim period, while
examinations are being held and hir-
ing lists are prepared, Government
agencies will have the right to hire
temporary employees without refer
ence to the Civil Service Commis-
sion. These temporary employees
will retain their jobs only until the
lists are established.
The order said examinations for
permanent, jobs In the various major
classifications viii begin shortly and
that all war service appointees de-
|sirous of remaining in the Govern
|ment must file applications to take
examinations in the jobs they now
hold.
Placed on Hiring Lists.
Employees passing these examina-
tions will be placed on regular hir-
ing lists, and when the commits
sion reaches the name Of the war
service appointee In the course Of
filling acquisitions for personnel,
the worker will be certified to the
agency in which he is employed
for regular civil service appoint
ment. It was stressed that all war
service appointees who do not COM
pete or who fail to pass such exam
nations will be dismissed from
their jobs as soon as the regular
civil service lists have been estab-
liShed.
Civil service ofiicials pointed out
that while all war service ap-
pointees who successfully pass ex-
aminations will be put on a regular
hiring list, it does not necessarily
follow that they eventually will get
permanent jobs This Is because
the Government expects to reduce
its personnel by more than 800 900
during the next year and a half,
[it was said.
Civil Service officials predicted,
however, that all war service ap-
pointee stenographers and typists
who wish to remain In the Govern
ment and who pass regular exam
nations eventually will get q per-
lmanent. Federal job. The officials
pointed out that these jobs are con-
lstantly opening up In the Govern
|ment. Civil Service officials refused
| to make any predictions on other
TYPES Of positions. They pointed
lout that war service appointees
might estimate their chances Of re-
manning in the Government by de-
Itermining whether the position they
now are filling viii at into the Gov
Iernment's postwar plans.
Thousands o. jobs in all war SER
lvice categories viii be made perma-
|nent, Civil Service of1icials said.
In establishing permanent hiring
lists. war service appointees viii be
given q 5-point preference over out
side applicants. This means, for ex-

tee today rejected. IA to H.. an
administration proposal to put
