THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Right of Closed Exams
For Indefinites to End
By JOSEPH YOUNG

Government indefinite employees have only until the end OF
this month take advantage of their right to file for civil service
examinations which longer to the general public
After that they will be able to compete for career status only
through regular that open to the public.
The Civil Service Commission has allowed these employees
Evening star., 1955-06-13

who were not eligible for career
conversion last January-to take
these exams so as to qualify for
career status. At present these
employees have no job retention
rights and their employment is
precariouS.
The commission said that in
order to acquire career status
in their present jobs, indefinite
employees must find an exam
they can take which would make
them eligible for career appoint
ment, in the same job they are
now doing. The privilege of filing
for closed examinations applies
only when there is an existing
register that is being used to Ill
vacancies in that field.
In cases where there is no
existing register. all an employe
Ean do is wait until an exam in
that field is announced.
/ AGE LIMIT-The Senate has
deleted from the House-approved
1856 Independent Offices appro-
ipriations bill a section prohibit
ing the Civil Service Commission
from setting maximum age
limits on examinations. The
House approved such a provision
following intense criticism that
age limits of 35 were being ap-
piled O nsome Federal positions
At a hearing Before the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee,
the commission defended its
policy on the ground it was ap-
piled on some Federal positions
where the position was at a
trainee level designed to recruit
young people Just out of school
and for jobs where physical
strength was an important fac
tor
AS a result of the Senate's ac-
ton, the fate Of the provision
will have to be decided in House

CPC CONVERSION LAGS-
The July 3 target date set by

Instead it appears that most

the program into effect until
close to September II, set by
Congress as the latest date on
which the conversion must be

A multitude Of problems has
plagued most agencies in trying
to expedite the conversion pro-

and the large bookkeeping job

I wonder how many of you
realize that when you have a

ford a lawyer, you may go to
the Legal Aid Society for help,
before the problem becomes
serious It is always easier to
prevent trouble than to remedy
it.
These lawyers are glad to
help with tenant-landlord
misunderstandings-and with
Social Security problems such
as how to furnish a required

sci you in your personal legal

 Within the past few days the Soviets have resumed testing of nuclear weapons.

New Credit Curbs Necessary to
 Stabilize Prices

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover Administration was de- scribed yesterday as embarked on a concerted policy of restraints on credit lest prices, fairly stable for two years, may other wise start climbing.
 "The business boom is getting pretty exuberant," said one high official who asked that he not be named. ''It's the consensus of the economic and financial side of the administration that the govern ment should exert some effort to keep it orderly"
 The latest in series of credit curbs was announced late We'd nesday. Effective Thursday, of the 12 Federal Reserve banks raised the rate they charge mem Der banks which borrow from them.
 The Chicago, Boston and Allan ia banks raised the charge (called the discount rate) from 134 to 290. Cleveland jumped from 134 to 214 %, highest in q years. Not since 1948 had a Federal Reserve bank increased its discount rate by half percentage point in one step.
 Increases by other Reserve banks are expected to follow soon.
 This move, designed as a curb on imitation, followed closely the tightening of down payment and mortgage terms on government insured housing loans last Satur- day Also, the Federal Reserve Board and the comptroller of the currency have dispatched letters to banks cautioning against over liberal terms on auto purchases and other installment credit.
