The civil service commission has already an nounced rules for granting such preference in Jobs requiring clWl service certification. The commission said all Jobs In the Tennessee valley author ity, the federal bureau of in vestigation, the board of gover nors of the federal reserve sys tem and the inland waterways corporation were outside the civil service act. Small numbers of Jobs in other agencies are similarly unclassified. Veterans Come First The new regulations, con forming with the veterans' pref erence law, provide that no non veteran shall be hired as ele vator, messenger, guard or cus todian as long as a qualified vet eran is available. Whenever experience is count ed in consideration for a Job, the length of time spent In service will be counted if the applicant Just before entering the service held a Job similar to the one for which he is applying. To Get Ratings First choice for all jobs will be applicants with "10-point pref erence" who were formerly em ployed by the agency concerned. Ten-point preference ratings are given disabled veterans, widows of veterans who served in active duty during a war or in a cam paign for which a campaign badge was authorized, and wives of disabled veterans who are not themselves qualified for civil service appointment. Next In line come 10-point preference Job seekers who were not employed by the agency previously. The requirement that 10-jolnt preference candidates get first crack at jobs does hot apply to professional and set entific positions for which the basic salary is more than $4,uuu a year. The rules also provide for cancellation of age, height ana weight requirements for ap pointment and promotion ot vet erans and for waiving otner Dhvsical requirements on rec ommendation of a physician.
