He was the administrative officer
of the FDIC.
He had been a career employe
for q years. having started as
a messenger in the Justice De-
partment in 1926. Since then, he
steadily worked his way UP the
Government career ladder. wind
ing up with the top salary grade
in the career service.
At the FDIC. Mr.. Robertson
served as the administrator Of
ficer working under the Demo-
cratic chairman of the agency.
Last May, when the Republican
chairman took over, the agency
underwent a reorganization. The
Job of administrative officer was
abolished and its duties trans
ferred to other officials in the
agency.
When Mr.. Robertson protested
to the commission, a csc investi-
gator was told by the FDIC that
Mr.. Robertson was dismissed un-
der the agency's special authority
to fire at will.
Later. the agency denied it had
made such a statement. 1t said
the investigator was mistaken.
The FDIC said Mr.. Robertson
was dismissed as result Of a re-
duction in force progra
brougt about by the reorganiza-
ton.
The agency. however. acknowl-
edged to the csc that cut Of its
1,O40 employees, only Mr.. Rob-
ertson and the employe holding
the treasurer position (which
also was abolished in the reor-
ganization) lost their jobs. The
treasurer. incidentally, did not
appeal the action and later took
a job in private industry.
MIR. Robertson contended his
civil service job rights had been
violated in his firing without
charges, since the agency had
not undergone a legitimate re-
duction-in-force.
The commissions reduction
in-force unit ruled In favor Of
the FDIC. declaring the re-
organization qualified as a re-
duction -in-force action and,
therefore, Mr.. Robertson could
be separated.
However. Mr.. Robertson has
appealed this ruling to the COM
missions board Of appeals and
review. He contends that, il his
dismissal is allowed to stand.
other career employees in Gov
ernment stand the same danger
of being reorganized out of their
jobs through agency programs
that abolish their positions.

strong interest in the case and
