Official publication of the air ministry,

The editorial says that. since the
Fascist government has decided upon
the construction of the warships, the
country. which has confidence in its
government, knows the construction
is necessary. but then it launches into
an attack on the Italian press cam
paign. which was instituted TO justify
the building OF the dreadnaughts.
The journal denies the assertion
that the batt!eships win be invulner-
able TO air ettack and asserts they
would be useless for protecting con-
voys OF food and raw materials which
would be essential to Italy in wartime.
1t declares they would. in fact,
hinder this protection because they
would draw around them the light and
heavy cruisers which should be out
eScorting the conveys.
1t draws the conclusion that the
Mediterranean is too small for such
ships, because aircraft can sight them
long before they get ready to enter
battle.
The article is, in effect. another Of
the long series of polemicS in all coun-
tries between the navy and aviation.
but it was considered significant as
the first voice raised in Italy to ques-
ton the building of the two dread
naughts which would make Italy the

ATTORNEYS FACING
SLASH IN RATINGS
Veterans Bureau Merger
With Pension Unit
b. Causes Changes.

Unless the Board of Appeals and
Review of the Civil Service Commits
sion intervenes, 241 attorneys and ad-
INDICATORS employed in the United
States Veterans Administration will
lose their professional claSsifications
and become clerks, under an order
ISSUED by the Personnel Classification
Division of the commission.
Because of the order, officials of
the Veterans Administration and the
lawyers themselves have opened a
f1ht before the appeals board with
a view to retaining their professional
ratings.
The reclassification Is an outgrowth
Of the consolidation of the Veterans
Bureau and the old Pension ONCE.
Several hundred employees are affected.
Under the new order the attorneys
whose ratings we're P-2 and P-3
would become CAF-6 and CAF-7.
1t was pointed out by the Personnel
Classification Division that in no case
affecting these men and women was
there a reduction in salary, the higher
clerks ratings paying approximately
the same as the lower professional
classes.
Employees, however, assert that un-
der the new classification the chances
for promotion have been materially
reduced, since they are placed near the
top of the new classification. with lit
tie room left for administrative higher
ratings, whereas under the profess
sional classification there was ample
opportunity for stepping up to higher
pay brackets.
The Veterans Administration asked
for the reclaSSiflcation In order to have
persons employed in the old Pension
Office given ratings equivalent to those
in the old Veterans Bureau. In the
appeal sent to the commission it was
asserted that instead of stepping up
those holding lower ratings, employees
of the old Veterans Bureau are being
reduced.
The new claSsif1cations are not con-
fined simply to the attorneys and pro-
fessional employees. A survey has
been made of the entire personnel of
the Veterans Administration and the
reclaSsiflcations cover a range includ-
ing division chiefs and the assistants
to Gen. Frank T. Hines, administra-
tor, down to the clerks and messen-
gers.
Although Gen. Hines wanted the
new classification, he is reported to
be as dissatisfied with the new ratings
as the employees themselves.
At Civil Service headquarters it
was pointed out the Board of Appeals
and Review will not have the final
say in establishing the new grades.
The board will hear the case and
submit its findings to the commits
sion itself, which has the final author
ity, either to establish the new rat
ings or to order the classification
division to restore the old ratings.
The survey has been under way for
more than two years. and several
weeks are expected to be required in
reviewing its results.
