Eisenhower Orders Review of Civil Service Protections
President Eisenhower signs an executive order reviewing about 134000 federal positions to determine which should not be under civil service. The move aims to allow the new Republican administration to appoint replacements, with an estimated 6000 to 1600 of specific attorney positions possibly affected, and veterans exempted from the order. The review covers jobs in the civil service schedule, including specialist roles and those previously blanket protected under Truman.
