NIAL This is first of two columns the by Major Nial explaining veterans’ retention-preference for federal employecs Today comes an explanation of something needing it, the reten- tion rights of veterans who are in federal employment under Civil Service juriediction or in any part of the cutive Branch of the Government If you ask me, this is com- ated mess and I'm only hop- ing that what I write here doesn't make it more so. Read on and you'll see why nerves and dis- position are frayed Congress is watching the budget requests of government depart- ,ments, bureaus and agencies with |the worried eye a husband peels when his wife goes “window shop- ping.” An Associated Press d {patch the other day said some |high official predicted that be- {tween 10,000 and 150,000 employees of the Interior Department would %ose their jobs if the appropria- tion bill for that department should become law. So it appears probable that meny CS employees will feel the axe in this government economy drive. Who will they be? For retention purpo: in CSt employment, all employees are vided hree porary among (the f group: D), War-ser- vice (next) and permanent (they 2 stay the longest) 3 Tempor employees, they know, were hired under CS f short periods, usually not to e one year.

Employees confpete for retention only in similar job groups.
