be expanded to include an independent function for the prepara-

should also be redrafted to indicate that the function again

Indicate total supervision of 05-5 Clerk-Stenographer, including
the complete training of said employee to assist incumbent in
many of her functions and to perform certain ones of them in
the absence of incumbent

in paragraph 14 Should, be separated from the other functions in
paragraph 14 and combined with the Loyalty Board functions in
paragraph 15. The sentence regarding maintenance of up-to-date
file an Loyalty Board Directives might be expanded to point out
that the maintenance of the up-to-date file includes the making
