This originally was tarnes-Scrugham Bill and it > law on June 23, 1944, the day the GI Bill of Rights was ap- e It's now known as the Veteran's Preference Act of 1944. cme very distinet right for all —particularly the disabled— reated by this law. A system of s ren for veterans created in Civil Service examinations, certif- aticn for appointment, in appoint- nent to Government jobs, reinstate- nt, re-employment and retention. e benefits extend to both lnssified and unclassified Govern- ment jobs. What's the difference? well, that had me puzzled at fi but T found out it's quib simpl It seems that, in most government | 1goncies or orgar /mum practically | obs are Civil Service jobs—they! re included in the provisions of the U. 8. Civil Service Act. In other| gencies, the majority of jobs are Civil Service jobs—the minority are| not. In a few agencies, no jobs come under Civil Service Regula- ticns. So the difference between classifi.d and unclassified positions ! is not in the kind of work the job calls for, but in whether a Federal Government job is subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Act cr whetker it isn't Commis- “Unclassi- The U. S.

All j in the Tennass Vailey Authority, the Federal Bur- ecau of Investigation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve’ ystem and the Inland Waterways Cerperation are unclassified — not ihject to Civil Service. Two stenographers may work for government, each drawing the pay. But the one working for Post Office Department is a Service Employee—the one the Civil * working in an office cf the FBI isn’t. But ex-service people should remem- ber this: the Veterans’ Preference Act of 1944 applies with few excep- tions to all positions in the execu- ranch of the Federal Govern-| whether they are Civil Ser-' vice jobs or not. I wrote “executive anch” because neither the Civil vice Act ner the Veterans' Pre- ference Act applies to the judiciall cr legislative branches of the gov- ernment. But the biz numker of gcvernment jobs are in the execu-| tive branch, and to compare the | large number of executive branch| jobs with the small number in tk cther two ‘branches be 1 ment, VETERANS' GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NIAL T \O'B tossing a grape over Niagara Falls and listening for the splash. Now let's consider what is meant by Veterans' Preference. Did you ever hear the one about Maloney and O'Brien? No? Then pull up a back fence and lean over. It scems Maloney and O'Brien were after a government job. It was an Administrative job as assistant personnel man. Paid $2,000 to start. They had to take an examination. Maloney qualified to take it be- cause he’d had three years in the personne! section of a large insur- ance firm. O'Brien had a college degree but only three months ex- pericnes in the S 1 section of a small Army air base. His personnel training wasn't enough to qualify Lim, but this degree was. Maloney was of average weight for his height. O'Brien was under- weight. Maloney was healthy. en had signs of asthma. In eddition, ‘O'Brien had lost a toe when it was mashed by a fall from 2 jeep while he was in the Quarter- master Corps at Mitchell in 1942. The passing mark on the written ‘examination was 70 per cent. Ma- lcmey got a score of 85 per cent. O’'Brien got 64 per cent. But O'Brien’s name went ahead of Ma- Ioney's for appointment! This was tecause he was a veteran with a service-connected disability rating. This gave him a 10-point Civil Ser- vice preference and raised his mark [from 64 percent to 74 percent— | whick then became a passing mark. Then the asthmatic condition was waived—also the underweight. Up at the top of the list were the names of a couple of disabled veter- ans. So O’Brien’s name went up next to their§ hecause he had a ser- vice-connerted disability. ’FIRSI LIEUTENANT BUCY IS AWARDED BRONZE STAR MEDAL WASHINGTON Julv — Thc War Department today anncunced the award of the Bronze Star Medal to 1st Lieutenant Lawrence W.
