NOT JUSTIFIED
CRITICISM OF APPOINTMENT. CIVIL SERVICE PRESIDENT’S VIEW. NO PROAIOTION AFFECTED. (Per Press Associations WELLINGTON!, This Day. A visit was paid to Christchurch today by Air T. Pound (Dominion president of the New Zealand Public Service .Association), to investigate statements as to the alleged uneasiness created among public servants in Christchurch as a result of personal appointments to the Public Service, and in particular that of Air S'. Armstrong to the position of Inspector of Factories. In a statement by telephone to Wellington, Ah* Pound said: “Applications were invited through the public press, and Mr Armstrong was an applicant through the normal channels.. The result was that the Public Service Commissioners, in whose absolute discretion such appointments lay, selected him as one of the applicants suitable for the position and holding the necessary credentials. The appointment is a temporary one, and Air Armstrong does not supersede or affect the promotion of any permanent employee already in the Public Service. Erroneous and misleading statements were published through unauthorised ..channels, and as a result a controversial storm has been raised which was not justified on the facts.”
