Executive Order 1152

Mrs. Hattie M. Hodes may be reinstated as a printer-operator in the Government Printing Office without respect to the civil-service regulations. This order is made in view of the statement of the Public Printer that her services can be utilized to advantage at the present time, that in his opinion her reinstatement would be a recognition of efficiency and would be in the interest of the service, and that he believes in efficiency Mrs. Hodes is the equal, and probably the superior, of any person whose name is now carried on the civil-service eligible list.

Wm. H. Taft.
