Frank c. Waldrop has resigned

DUMPING RIGHTS-In an
nouncing it's new program where
by displaced career employees
have Government-wide bump
ing" rights over temporary in
definite workers, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission confused a lot of
employees by also curbing the
rights of careerists to bump each
other.
To some employees it appears
that the csc is helping displaced
careerists on one hand and ham
pering them on another.
csc officials say, however, that
the curb on pumping" among
careeristS will aid career employees
in the long run, rather than hin
der them. Under the new rules,
a career employe may only bump
another careeriSt in his own bu-
reau, instead of the department.
wide humping rights career
workers formerly had.
Commission officials say the
new rule will prevent the endless
chain bumpings that would oc-
cur every time a career worker
lost his job. The result usually
would be that many other career
workers would be affected, either
in a loss of job or in demotion.
In the long run, nobody bene-
flied, csc officials declare.
They say the new order will
give greater job protection rights
to careerists against being
bumped" out of their jobs by
career workers with greater
seniority or with veterans prefer
ence. AS for career employees who
do lose their jobs, they won't be
handicapped because they will
be able to replace any one of the
100000 temporary indefinite
workers in Government who are
doing similar kinds of work,
commission officials declare.
INTERNAL REVENUE-Most
of the 900 Internal Revenue
Bureau employees here who will
lose their jobs are career people
and have many years of Federal
service. Some of them have
worked in the bureau for more
than Is years.
Bureau officials say that,
wherever possible, these employees
will be offered other jobs in field
offices outside of Washington.
Also, the Civil Service Commits
sion's new program to find jobs
for displaced careerists will be
utilized to the greatest degree.
