Corrected by Foulke on Civil Service Clarifies Misstatements
In a May 10 letter to the Newport Herald editor, civil service commissioner William Dudley Foulke rebuts editorial claims about Roosevelt era exemptions from examination. He states the President did not order positions out of classified service, cites precise counts of exceptions, and explains the reasoning behind individual rather than blanket exemptions. He cites reforms expanding commission powers and defends actions amid calls to strengthen rules.
