lik e he was going to have to hire a lot of new h elp Usually he doesn' t need nearly so many workers and he didn t want to promise pennanent jobs to the folks coming to work to help our dur ing the fuss . The Civil Se rvi ce Commission set up the rules so that hone of the Government agencies could g ive people permanent jobs after the 1st of December last year All agencies just about have to operate on the same basis it sure . IIOUld be a mess if some outfits could make per manent job offers while at the same time others couldn ' t The outfit making only indefinite job offers couldn' t. hire anybody at all. Everybody thinks there 11 be a big 'readjustment ' after this Korean thing and whatever comes after it dies do"Ml so Uncle is sort of planning ahead on that deal , too . The Civil Service O>mssion ha s rule s that all promotions and some transfers and reassignments that come off after September l 1950, are indefinit e All this means is that when the re~ju stment ' comes people who have indefinite promotions , transfers or r eassign ments can be demoted , retransferred or re assigned as is necessary at that time. How will this readjustment affect, CM employees when it. comes? Well nobody knows for sure , hut so far CAA hasn t expanded any to speak of because of the defense pro gr c¥11 we ve had to make some readjustments to Lake c are of milit.ary training and r elat ions, but most, of our vacancies come up because somewhere along the line someone quits Of course a few of our people are cal led back into the se rvice as r es ervists and some young fellow.; get drafted We have to save their jobs for them when this happens But s ince CAA isn t expanding we really don't think there 11 be much of a reooju stment for us People ~ho have come to ~rk on inde finite jobs will get a chance to compete for pennanent stat.us and pennanent employees who have ' indefinite pro motions , transfers etc ., will be kept in the best job possible provided of cour se they ve done a good job where they are The Beacon s e ditor has said we c an use some space each mont.h to discuss matt ers we think would be of interest Perhaps sorre of you have s uggestio ns we could usi ip getti ng these articles together .

These men are now on du ty at var i ous canmunica tions stations t hroughout the Territory of Alas k a. (List of gr adua tes appears on a later page). CAA is conwcting a vigorous recruiting program for Ai rways ~rat i ons Special i sts (Corrmunica tions) for employment in Al aska and the Paci f ic areas and Rad i o Ma intenance Tec hn icians for duty in Alaska. Every possible source of supply is being tapped with particular emphasis upoo veterans ' organizations . We find that approxi mately 9~ of all persons appointed to these positions are veterans and obtained most of their qual i fying exp er ie nce in the military service. It · is our experience that one of the most at tractive factors in overseas enployment in either of these positions is the fact that the positions fo r which we are recr ui ting are not ' war baby' jobs and have not been necessitated by the present emergency. All of us ,i n CAA ' take off our hats · to the men and their families who accept appointment with 11~ at our overseas stations . Regardless of modern conveniences, it is a big move and many things must be taken into consideration. Housing is probably our most acute problem. Prospective employees and those already appoin ted may res t assured t hat their ~gions are exerting every effort to provide adequate housing at the earliest possi ble time. Since the Aeronauti cal Center has only one man available for di rect recruiting , every oppor tunity to ' plant a gr apevine ' is being seized I n many instances applicants who , themselves are not qualified , have referred qualified acquain t ances to us . Likewise, if any of our readers kn ow of persons who may be in t erested and avail ab le for overseas . emp-leyment , we would appreciate having them referred to us , Our needs i n Alaska and the P acific area are critical.
