President Roosevelt approved a sweeping amendment to civil service rules allowing cabinet officers to summarily dismiss any department employee without a hearing if the head has personal knowledge of misconduct or inefficiency. The change eliminates prior charge-and-answer proceedings and requires only a simple notice to the civil service commission. The discharged employee has no recourse.
