2. Agencies, in ordering a
gradual reduction of employees
leave over a period of years to
an eventual 30-day maximum
accumulation, must give en-
ployes specific chances to use
up the amount of excess leave
ordered reduced each year. Un-
less the employe is given specific
orders as to when to use the
leave, the agencies cannot make
him forfeit that portion of ex-
cess leave.
Some agencies had the idea
they could order this excess leave
portion forfeited each year, re-
gardless of whether an employe
had a chance to use the leave
or not.

SECURITY PROGRAM-The
Civil Service Commission, within
the next few days, is expected
to announce the creation of a
unit to supervise the Govern
ment employe security loyalty
program.
Under the Governments new
security regulations, the csc

continuous review of the pro-
gram to see that agencies make
effective use of the program, as
well as to see that employees are
treated fairly.
The recent Government Print

attention on the Eisenhower ad-
ministration's new loyalty-secur-
ity program and the need of a
central unit in Government to
keep a constant review of the
program.

State Police Trooper P. M.

the same amount OF experience
in the agency have suffered 10
grade salary cuts, which amounts
to a reduction in salary of more
than $4,000 a year. Some long
time employees have been cut

from GS-12 to 2. Employees who
made $500 a year were offered
$2,950-a-year jobs, while some
of those making $7,040 were Of
fered $2,750-a-year positions.
Other employees took five, six
and seven grade cuts in salary.
Some employees were separated
within a week or so from the
time they would have been eligi-
BILE for an involuntary 25-year
retirement benefit. Now they
are out in the cold, with no i'm
mediate retirement benefits.
Agency personnel officials, who
have had a tough job, say they
have done the best they could
under the circumstances. They
say that, any time an agency
has to reduce it's force by 1000
employes-25 per cent-some
persons are going to get hurt.
Internal Revenue personnel Of
ficialS say they are hopeful some
of the dismissal notices can be
reScinded, owing to an unusually
large number of retirements and
designations in the agency re-
Gently. Also, they are hopeful
of finding other jobs in the
Treasury Department and other
agencies for some of the workers.
8he fact remains that the
iarge-scale layoffs and demotions
have dealt the agency a blow to
morale from which it will take
long time to recover. The long
time career employees can't be
blamed for being bitter. Abrupt
dismissal or a sharp cut in salary
is scarcely a reward for many
years of service to the Govern
ment.
LEAVE-The Civil Service
Commission has clarified several
more important points in the
new leave law. They are:
/. Employees with leave &C
cumulations of less than 80 days
are less affected than other Gov
ernment workers by the ruling
of the Controller General that
agencies may, under emergency
circumstances, deny terminal
leave to departing employees for
the unused portion of their cur
rent years leave.
CSC officials point out that the
new law allows employees with
less than 80 days leave accumu-
lation to be paid cash for that
part of their unused leave of a
current year that brings them up
to a 30-day leave accumulation
total. The rest of the unused
current years leave, of course,
would have to be used as terminal
leave if the employe is separated,
