Public Health Service
Hit by BabCoCk

E. Claude Babcock, past COM
mander of the Disabled American
Veterans and president of the
Federal Personnel Association, has
begun a drive against alleged ef-
forts by the Public Health Service
to block appointments of veterans
to Government jobs.
At meeting of his organization
last night Babcock charged that
in several instances Public Health
has termed veterans totally unfit
for appointment after the Veter-
ans Administration had held them
but partially disabled.
BLASTS AGENCIES
"Some veterans who have re-
ceived a is or 20 per cent dis
ability allowance are not per-
mitted to enter the service be-
cause they are said to be totally
unfit" Babcock declared, adding,
"this one arm of the Govern
ment says they are only par
TALLY disabled and another says
they are of no use at ALL"
Rapid rise of disability retire
ment within the Government is
believed by Babcock, who is a for
mer secretary of the Civil Service
Commission, to be the cause Of the
alleged ban on veterans.
WRONG PEOPLE
Officials are trying to keep
people out of the service, he said,
who will soon retire because of
i'll health, concluding, however,
that the action against exservice
men is hitting the wrong people. I"
Several instances were quoted
by Babcock wherein veterans quit
positions in outside industry to
accept JOBS as guards and months
later were thrown out on health
grounds" when examined.
