no age maximum was handlc
types of positions.
Congress several years ago
removed all maximum age bar
riers from Government jobs.
This means that any person,
regardless Of age, can by pass
ing a civil service examination
be eligible for the job involved.
Until several years ago, there
had been maximum age limita-
tionS placed on various Federal
positions. And years ago there
was a 55-year age limit on
filling Government jobs.
Recently a number of Federal
agencies have complained to
the CSC that they have had to
hire persons too old to perform
afduouS or hazardous duties in
some jobs.
Also, they complained about
having to hire older workers
in occupations requiring long
preliminary training. The agen-
cieS said these positions should
be restricted to younger people.
The commissions interagency
advisory group has set up a
committee to study the problem
and make recommendations. It
is headed by Raymond Jacob
son, assistant chief of the csc
standards division. ..
Commission officials stress
there is no intent to persuade
Congress to place a maximum
age limit on most Federal Jobs.
They feel it is only proper that
job applicants be rated on their
abilities and background, with
out age entering into it. They
also declare it would be "anti-
social" to set maximum age
limits again.
However, csc officials say
there may be a case for set
ting maximum age limits on
jobs requiring ardous or haz-
arduous duties and those re-
quiring long periods of training
In the latter category, for
example. csc officials cite the
case of apprentice jobs in
skilled trades. These positions
usually require four years
schooling and ont h Ell o b
training, they declare.
II agencies are required, for
example, to hire man in his
mid-fifties for one of these po-
sitions, the employe would be
practically eligible for retire.
ment by the time he completed
his apprenticeship and became
a journeyman, they point out.
OF course, the question Of
maximum age limits does not
apply to Government employees
already on the job. 1t would
apply only to those hired later.
However, it could have an ad-
verse psychological effect when
it came to reaSsignments, pro-
motions or unemployment, al
though csc officials insist
there is no intent to propose
maximum age limitations for
the large majoriy Of Federal
positions. 5s
