Under the directive. q clear
cut distinction will be made be-
tween jobs under civil service
and those positions which are
outside of civil service. It is ex.

be used either in appointing OF

Charles Willis, the White
House assistant who issued the
original order, has since resigned
but the criticism over the order
remains unabated..
Actually, the order has been
imperative for the past few
months and is dead for all in
tents and purposes. Yet the
very fact that it has not been
rescinded still causes uneasiness
in civil service circles and en-
|ploye groups. and such merit or

Service League have asked the
White House to rescind it offici-
ally.
The feeling of employe leaders
and merit officials is that as long
