A Defense Department study
shows that at least $4,000 mill
tary men are in jobs that
should be performed by
civilians.
The study was ordered some
months ago by Defense Secre-
tary Mcnamara following criti-
cism by a House Civil Service
Manpower Subcommittee and
the House Armed Services
Committee over military per-
sonnel usurping civilian jobs in
the Defense Department.
The study's findings are ex-
pected to result in action by
Secretary Mcnamara to replace
these military men with civilian
employees.
Federal employe leaders as
well as members of Congress
long have contended that the
use of military personnel in
civilian jobs is not only costly
to the American taxpayer, but
is demoralizing to Civil Service
since it prevents career civilians
from advancement to better
jobs and even jeopardizes the
present ones they have.
The matter came up on the
House floor the other day when
Representative Gross. Republi-
can of Iowa, a member of the
House manpower subcommittee
and one of Congress strongest
economy advocates, cited the
Defense Department report anc
said that the replacement q
the $4,000 military personne
by civilians would mean "rea
