Disa bled American Veterans.

The next meeting of the Presidents
commission on increasing the number
OF war veterans in United States en-
ployment will be held early in November,
according to an announcement last week
by Representative Hamilton Fish, IT.,
chairman, following a conference with
officials of the Disabled American Vet
Grams.
Representative Fish made a flying trip
to washington and explained that his
mail on proposed changes in the Civil
Service Commission laws was so heavy
that it would be useless to try to get the
commission together until the individual
members of the commission had had a
greater opportunity to study the situa-
ton. In addition to mail from all sec
lions of the country, the chairman has
large group of statistics from all gov
eminent departments in answering his
QUESTIONABLE to all employees to establish
how many disabled men are actually in
Federal employment and how frequent
are cases of members of the same i'm
mediate family on the pay rolls.
All this information will be briefed
and when the commission reconvenes the
Representative expects to start meetings
every other day until Congress returns.
The first report will be a preliminary
one for the use of the President in the
preparation of his annual message and
the commission will then prepare COM
plete report to Congress, which will in
clude proposed legislation to increase
the percentage of veterans In the Gov
eminent peace-time service.
Mr.. Fish said he agrees with the
Disabled American Veterans position
that the immediate call on the commits
sion is to remove any injustices that
are hindering a greater number of for
mer service men being appointed and
then will follow consideration of con-
crete proposals governing promotions
and retentions of veterans when reduce
tons in the civil service rolls are DEEM
ed advisable
To meet the objections against the
number of husbands, wives and children
of the same family working for Uncle
Sam 1t has been suggested that an arbi-
trary combined salary limit be made
and this. will be one of the matters that
will receive the early consideration of
the Presidents commission, according to
Representative Fish.
Cooperation and priority for relief
for the disabled will be the theme of the
address of National Comdr. M w. Rice
of the Disabled American Veterans.
before the annual convention of the
American Legion, just as it was in his
recent speech before the national en-
