Lesson. Loeb says he resigned his pc.
sition in the department to volunteer
in the military service. He put in
nearly two years abroad, was returned,
discharged and sought his old job, but
it was refused him. Then he tried to
get into the labor. department and was
turned down there on the ground that
he had cleft the post office department
for better paying position with a
private firm which seems not to have
been the case. Apparently Loeb's DO.

in on the deal to tangle hopelessly the
swiped wires. There have been other
instances similar to Loeb's and not
confined to the post office department.
