Greater Protection

The Civil Service Commission
yesterday announced it is chang
ing its regulations to give greater
protection to veterans seeking
Government jobs.
Under the CSC's new inter-
pretation of the 1853 change in
the law, agencies may not pass
over an eligible veteran and
appoint a non-veteran lower on
the civil service job register
list unless the csc finds the
agency's reasons are sufficient to
justify such action.
The CSC's previous rules did
not make mandatory, on the
agencies the CSC's finding re-
garding the sufficiency of the
reason given by a bureau for
passing over a veteran eligible
for appointment. The agencies
were required to submit their
reasons to the Csc ana 10 give
reconsideration to hiring the
eligible veterans if the csc
held the reasons insufficient, but
the commissions decision was
not mandatory.
officials of the various veter-
ans organizations met with the
csc recently and urged a change
in the rules to make the COM
missions findings mandatory or
the agencies. The commissions
action yesterday complies with
the veterans groups request.
