For the past few National Park Service has consistently
avoided appointing of veterans guards by ignoring the Depart
mental Guard list which veterans predomnate appointing
from the Penal Guard and Elevator operator registers Can
it be that the recent order appointing Public Health Board to
weed out the mentally and physically deficient really move
to get rid of the remaining veterans most of whom suffering
from disability incurred during the war? Will the veterans
organizations look into this matter before it is too late?
