Volunteers Entitled
To Job Protection,
Dykstra Declares
Act Provides Thut All Men
Who Serve for Yeur
Moy Regain Positions

Men who volunteer for military
training under selective service are
entitled to the same job protection
which the law extends to those
drafted, DR.. C. A. Dykstra, director
of selective service, pointed out to-
day.
The act provides that men who
serve their year of training shall not
lose seniority and shall be considered
as having been on furlough. If an
employer is able to re-employ q
selectee and refuses, the enploye
may take the matter into Federal
Court, with the United States Attor-
ney required to prosecute the claim.
The act" said DR.. Dykstra, "does
not differentiate in this regard, and
men who volunteer for service and
are inducted into the armed forces
are entitled to the same job protec-
ton as men actually called up for
training by their local boards"
Those employed by the Federal or
District of Columbia governments
who volunteer or are drafted are
to be restored to their positions and
ratings, the director added.
Officers at national Selective SerV-

These men may be pushed ahead
of all others registered in the area,
regardless of how their order num-
bers were drawn in the lottery.

DR.. Smith Denounces
Judge Bentley al
Senate Hearing
Cases Clicked orr in
Four or Five Minutes,
Subcommittee Told

Administration of juvenile laws
by Judge Fay L. Bentley was round
ly criticized today before Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee holding
public hearings on her nomination
to continue on the Juvenile Court
bench for another term. 5s..e1
The principal critic was Or. Car
rie Weaver Smith, former superin-
tendent of the National Training
School for Girls, who was discharged
by the Commissioners in 1887.
She complained that cases are
clicked of" in four or five minutes,
and. that administration of the
juvenile laws in general is contrary
to the ideologies Of those concerned
with the welfare of wayward chill
dren.
Dr. Smith also made blanket
indictment of conditions at insti-
tutions to which the delinquent
children of, Washington are COM
mitted
DR.. Smiths statements at one
time provoked a round of applause
from group of spectators who
crowded the committee room. SEN
ator McCarran denounced the DEM
onstration and said 1t would be the
last one. 49,
Others who leveled criticism at
Judge Bentley included Mrs. Augusta
Spaulding, former clerk of Juvenile
Court, and Mrs. Alice Sheldon,
director of the Department of School
Attendance and Work Permits of
the public school system.
Case Closed, Says McCarran.
Subcommittee Chairman McCar-
ran announced at the close of today's
hearing that the case against Judge
Bentley is closed. The subcommit-
tee, however, will hold another meet
ing at 10 am. tomorrow to give
representatives of Miss Bentley an
opportunity to offer an explanation
of cases cited by witnesses during
the hearings.
Mrs. Marjorie Lawson, an attorney
and social worker, opened today's
hearing with plea for confirmation
of Miss Bentley's appointment for
another term. She said she had
been impressed with the social
philosophy of the Judge and pointed
out she had made the court more
than a hall of justice"
George A. Parker, an attorney, re-
counted several of his experiences in
practlcing. before Judge Bentley's
court, and as result, he said, he
has since turned down clients who
wanted him to represent them there
because he felt he could not "do
them any good"
