Miss Mary Edwina Coons may be employed for one year in the classified service under the Federal Trade Commission, without regard to the civil service rules. Miss Coons has rendered satisfactory and efficient service as a clerk under temporary appointment and has qualified in the civil service examination for junior typist. Her rating, however, has not been reached for certification for permanent appointment from the District of Columbia. This order is issued upon the recommendation of the Federal Trade Commission, and with the restriction that it does not confer upon Miss Coons any status for subsequent employment in the classified service.
