ARNALL DEFENDS STATE
COUNCIL ON VETS' JOBS
Atlanta, Dec. 4—The state merit
council, Gov. Ellis Arnall said
Tuesday, is leaning over backward
in filling state jobs to give quali
fied veterans preference.
He described as “based on mis
information’’ a resolution adopted
by American Legion officials at
Macon Sunday which declared the
council was not giving such pref
erence.
Arnall said it was the desire of
his administration "to do all
things possible to advance the in
terests of Georgia veterans, their
widow's and orphans.’’
He wrote Herbert Moon of
Americus, state commander, for
detailed and specific information
on a charge in the resolution that
“the state merit council has flag
rantly violated provisions of the
new state constitution with respect
to granting preferences to veter
ans.”
The merit council supervises em
ployment of persons to fill jobs
for which all or part of the salary
comes from federal grants.
