one that certain aviation writ

Fec Orders Inquiry
Into Recent CLOSING
OF Telegraph Offices
By the AssocistxdR dRrsss,ss..

BY the AEsocist<dR Rrsss.s ..s 90
The Federal Communications Com
mission today ordered an investiga-
tion into the recent closing of Postal
Telegraph Offices in connection with
the Arms proposed merger with
Western Union.
The action followed a complaint
filed June 26 by the American Com
munications Association (CIO) that
such closures were causing "discon-
tinuances. reductions and impair
ment" Of telegraph service.
FEC records indicated that ap-
proximately 100 Postal Offices had
been closed, but the union repre-
sentatives contended the number
was higher.
The closings, which occurred since
March, followed authorization of a
merger Of Postal and Western Union
to be consummated when the FEC
has approved all details.
The commission dismissed several
other charges in the CIO union s
complaint. 1t also denied the unions
motion for a temporary restraining
order against the companies pend
ing determination OF the issues in
the complaint.
Postal has acknowledged closing
of several of its branch Offices, but
denied any violation Of the law. 1t
contended the action was taken as
an economy move, since the COM
pany is losing money.
Both Postal and Western Union
officials testified at recent hearings
that the closings had not resulted in
any impairment of service.

AFL Official AsksLaw
.ToSaye Veterans Jobs
BY the Associated Press,

BOSTON, Aug. 4.-Frank P. Fen
ton, national director of organiZa-
tion of the American Federation of
Labor, declared at the State AFL
Convention yesterday that hundreds
of veterans, returning to civil life,
were being denied their old jobs.
Mr.. Fenton asserted that the Sc
lective Service Act directs" but
does not compel" employers to re-
turn men coming back from military
service.
He also explained that the act ex-
pires six months after the end of
the war. On expiration of the act
he said, there was no legislation
compelling employers to restore vet
erans to prewar jobs except the
force of the labor movement, unless
remedial legislation was enacted.
Mr.. Fenton charged that men who
had fought at Guadalcanal and in
Africa have been returned to civil
life because they were unfit for fur
ther military service, but that
despite manpower shortage they are
not getting back their old jobs.
He recommended enactment of
legislation providing for seniority
and other benefits in their prewar
jobs for men drafted for military
service,

Keeping a critical eye on public

and organizations working for the
citys betterment.
A weakness in the governmental
structure, he added, is the fact that
ordinarily the District Committees
OF the two Houses will not consider
legislation unless it has been con-
sldered and acted on by the Com
mlssioners, who are not chosen by
the people and who are so burdened
with work that 1t Is sometimes diff
cult to get legislation through their
battleneck. Thus a program of civic
Improvement may be completely
stymied because the channels OF
representation are not sufaciently
OPEN"
Mr.. La Roe stressed, however. that
the form Of municipal government
we have here Is more honest, more
emcient and far less political In its
makeup than Is the case with most
OF the cities Of this country"
Race Relations Studied.
He said that the recent formation
OF the Citizens Committee on Race
Relations, to consist Of probably go
outstanding citizens who will survey
the entire racial problem, investi-
gate areas Of tension and seek to
remove the causes thereof. proves
that our citizens are alive to social
and civic problems.
AS to crime, Mr.. La Roe said that
while no one Is satisfied with the
crime situation, the total number
OF serious crimes reported here in
1912 represented a decline of 262
cases, or approximately per cent,
under 1941.
An important contributing factor
to juvenile delinquency, he asserted
is the disruption of home life caused
by war conditions. Unpleasantness
at home resulting from parental
severity Is better than crime and
olsgrace, he emphasized.
Blames Loose Liquor Law.
Mr.. La Roe said there has been
an improvement in the gambling
situation, with 80 per cent Of the
big shot gamblers cleaned out.
AS to prostitution, the speaker de-
clared "the courts are taking this
matter more seriously"
Mr.. La Roe, discussing liquor con-
ditions, said the wetness "is due to a
loose liquor law under which the
private sale of liquor Is encouraged
even in drugstores and grocery
stores" adding I'VE should be
ashamed of the looseness and pro-
miscuity Of liquor distribution here !"
He then asked, why is a COM
modify like liquor, which can and
does cause so much crime and suf-
fering, sold during much longer
hours than commodities like po-
tatoes and meat, which do not cause
the same damage? We need to do a
little straight thinking on this
subject"
Inebriates, he added, should be
given hospital treatment instead of
being sent to Jail repeatedly.
