IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EXECUTIVE ORDER
9733
AUTHORIZING CERTIFICATION FOR PROBATIONAL
APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN CLASSES OF PERSONS
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 1753 of
the Revised Statutes and by section 2 of the Civil Service Act
(22 Stat. 403), it is hereby ordered as follows:
1. The Civil Service Commission is authorized and directed
to certify for probational appointment any person (1) whose name
appeared on any list of eligibles at any time between May 1, 1940, and
March 16, 1942, with respect to positions generally, or between May 1,
1940, and October 23, 1943, with respect to positions in the field
service of the Post Office Department, (2) who entered the armed forces
of the United States between such dates and was separated therefrom
under honorable conditions and is still qualified to perform the duties
of the position, (3) who stood higher on such list of eligibles than
another applicant who received a probational appointment therefrom,
and (4) who requests restoration to the list of eligibles, or certifi-
cation, within ninety days after the termination of service in the
armed forces or of hospitalization continuing after discherge f or a
period of not more than one year, or within ninety days after the date
of this order, whichever is later: Provided, That this order shall
not apply in any case in which the list of eligibles had expired prior
to the entry of the applicant into the armed forces and the Commission
had not sustained objections to his certification from such list be-
cause of his draft status.
2. The Commission is also authorized and directed to
certify for probational appointment, to fill existing vacancies in
appropriate positions and to replace temporary and war-service ap-
pointees who do not have eligibility for permanent retention, the
following classes of persons: (a) eligibles who qualify in examin-
ations under section 10 of the Veterens' Preference Act of 1944
(58 Stat. 390) and who are entitled to 10-point preference and priority
in certification under that Act, and (b) eligibles entitled to priority
in certification for appointment under paragraph 1 of this order.
3. This order supersedes Executive Order No. 9538 of
April 13, 1945, entitled "Authorizing Certification for Probational
Appointment of Persons Who Lost Opportunity for Probational Appointment
because of Entry into the Armed Forces."
