Raleigh, Sept. 21.—(AP)—Jobs will be held open for all state employees called into military service, Governor Hoey said today.
Heads of all state departments have been instructed, he said, to inform persons given jobs to replace national guardsmen or men drafted into the army that the jobs would last only until the original holders completed their military service.
"The state certainly will see that all of its employees who are called to military duty get their positions back," he added.
The question arose when Lieut. Col. William P. Wattles, national secretary of the Reserve Officers Association of the United States, wrote to the attorney general's office to determine whether state law protected the jobs of state employees called into military service.
T. Wade Bruton, assistant attorney general, replied that there was no such law in North Carolina, but added that the general assembly could consider such legislation in January.
