JOB PRIORITY RIGHTS
The Civil Service Commission
has made retroactive for two
additional groups of employees
the benefits of it's revised pro-
gram giving job priority rights
to displaced career workers.
The new groups benefiting are
those persons who were rein
stated with civil service status
in Government on an indefinite
status because of emergency
appointment regulations and
those who were appointed to
Federal jobs outside of civil
service after a break in service
of more than 80 days. They now
have 80 days to file with the
csc to participate in the job
priority program.
PROPOSALS-A new group.
the Good Government Institute,
urges personnel changes that
would give the Eisenhower ad-
ministration the right to remove
some civil service employees from
key policy jobs.
It proposes that Gin the in
terest Of good Government" the
President issue an executive
order to allow the head of a
department or agency to reopen
to competition any strategic job
in the bureau. This would have
to be done with prior approval
of the Civil Service Commission.
The incumbent in the job would
be given reasonable notice and
the opportunity to compete for
the position along with other
competitors. His retention credits
and reassignment rights would
remain intact. The group said
this procedure should not be
used excessively but only when
absolutely necessary.

BUDGET BUREAU Budget
Director Joseph M. Dodge has
appointed Samuel T. Adams. the
agency's personnel director, to
the new position of administra-
tive assistant to the director. The
new Sersonnel officer will be Will
liam P Lehman, now on the

Dodge deserves a lot of credit for

The phenomenal acceptance of Wilkins
Instant Coffee by the public has exceeded
anything in coffee history!
Again and again, food store shelves have
been swept clean by the unprecedented
demand. Letters pour into our plant, from
people who say they never dreamed an
instant coffee could taste so much like
regular" coffee - and so much better
than any instant coffee they ever tried
before!
No wonder We spent several years,
and half-million dollars in cooperative
research and development. We put into
Wilkins Instant Coffee a fresh-roasted
blend of cofees that gives it that fabulous
South American flavor and aroma. The
instant you open the jar, you can smell
the difference. When you taste it, you'll
find none of the sweet caramel like" taste
you may get in many other brands. We
don't claim Wilkins Instant Coffee tastes
as good as Wilkins Regular Coffee. But

Training Deadlines
Begin In 1854 For
Post Korea Veterans

The spring school terms. start
ing early in 1854, mark the last
enrolment opportunity under the
Korean CT Bill for thousands of
post Korea veterans, the Veterans
Administration said
The reason. VA explained. is
that the laws cutoff date Of
August 20, 1854, eight months
away applies to Korean veterans
separated from service before
August 20, 1852. If they want Gil
training, they must begin by the
1854 deadline in order to continue
afterwards.
The deadline. however. comes
before next fails school term gets
under way Therefore, except for
the summer session. the school
term starting early in 1854 will
offer many veterans their last
opportunity to get started under

Left" is a sinister word.

SAS Ao q o4A44obCA WI W.
The public is more or less IA
miliar with such expressions as
"leftist. left-wing, swing to the
left" in designating political or
governmental departure from
conservative, established pro-
cedure or custom; but why
left?
We must seek the answer in
antiquity when the word for
left implied "evil, wrong, per-
verse, unfavorable." Indeed, the
Latin word for "left" is Sin
ister," which today in English
means "underhand, corrupt, ad-
verse, threatening evil" The
right: "fit, correct, proper" The
lucky, fortunate side. Hence the
meaning of the English word
right "f1t, correct, proper" The
Latin word is dexter, from which
we have such words as dexterous,
uCAGC1lly.
In French, the word for right
is droit. from which we have the
word adroit, meaning "dexterous,
skillful." The word for left is
gauche, which in both French
and English means "left-handed;
therefore clumsy, rude, uncul-
tured." incidentally, gauche is
pronounced: gohsh.)
Left. and. right" in the po-
itical sense entered English from
the French, for in the French
Parliament the members of the
conservative parties sit on the
right of the president of the
chamber: the moderateS sit in
the center; the liberals and
radicals sit on the left.
