CIVIL SERVICE ORDER
INCLUDES ONLY 7,500
WASHINGTON, D. C. - The unofficial statement that President Roosevelt's executive orders of June 24 extending the merit system in government service brought approximately 130,000 hitherto exempt positions under competitive civil service requirements appears to have been greatly exaggerated.
President Harry P. Mitchell of the Civil Service Commission now estimates that only about 70,000 government workers would be blanketed into the civil service under the president's orders. Mr. Mitchell said his estimate was still guesswork and that no exact figures would be available until the Civil Service Commission makes its report to the president which must be submitted within three months after the date of the executive orders.
