cies both here and in the field.

agencies to suggest qualified and
experienced career employees for
important personnel positions.

are qualified for grades IA and

ice employees were considered,
the csc said. The commission

replaces open competitive exams
| or registers in the same field.
But it is designed to offer great
er advancement for career per-
sonnel employees who have proven
their ability, othe csc declared.
The commission said that the
persons selected for the roster
were nominated by their de-
partments and agencies. The
aiihcations of thes candidates
were given thorough investiga-
ton by CSC examiners before
they were accepted for the ros-
ter, the csc said. The names
