Shelton, 31, discharged from the Oregon state hospital staff here September 8 on charges of cruel 4 fnf ura r-atNies( In mt order released by the state civil service commission Tuesday. The' hearing was denied, com mission members said, because Shelton was a conditional em- . ploye and not a regular employe. . Conditional employes are those who hold their jobs without tak ing civil service examinations and do not have the same hearing rights as employes who have tak en examinations. Commission officials said exam inations never have been given for hospital attendant jobs. The commission could grant a hearing to a conditional employe If there was evidence that his dis charge was based on political, ra cial or religious charges, Robert Johnson, commission administra tor, said. Shelton submitted no evidence that those Issues are Involved, ac cording to Johnson. Only com munication the commission recei ved from Shelton was a request for a hearing. Dr. Charles E. Bates, hospital superintendent, said Shelton and Joe McSata both were discharged for abusing patients. McSata said he was leaving Oregon and did not ask for a hearing.
