Hoover Grants More Favor to Disabled Veterans in Civil Service
President Hoover signed an executive order to raise veteran preferences in civil service exams, adding a 10 point boost for disabled veterans and 5 points for other veterans. The Civil Service Commission must document why a veteran is passed over for a non veteran and quarterly exams are required, with changes taking effect on future tests. Iowa calls for a new veterans hospital of at least 300 beds, saying Knoxville mental patients strain current capacity.
