Servicemen by the thousands
must be asking themselves, What
about a job?" The answer holds
plenty of ifs, but nowhere-from
Main Street to Pennsylvania Ave-
nue-is there indifference to the
question. If q veteran can't find
job, it won't be for lack of an
organization to help him look for
one.
That organization is selective

ready functioning for the men who
are returning to civilian life at the
rate of 1000 week. Let us take,
for example, a man who has re-
covered from an illness that, with
out disabling him, has ended his
soldering.
FIRST INTERVIEW
While he is still in the hospital
he will be interviewed by an adj
visor of the Red Cross or the Vet
Grams Employment Service. Later
he will fill out an occupational and
educational record. Here he puts
down not only what he has learned
and done in the past, but what he
wants to do when he gets back to
civilian life.
Copies of his discharge report
are sent to five agencies, and the
soldier keeps one himself. CThis
is a new, simplified procedure re-
placing IL different forms and let
ters.)
When the soldier gets home, he
looks up a Unemployment Commit
teeman attached to his local draft
boards. Usually these men are
leaders in their communities. Many
are veterans of the last war, often
with sons in the service. They re-
member the confusion of 1918,
when the counter parts of our pres
ent WPB and OPA executives went
home almost as soon as the last
shot was fired; when Congress re-
fused to appropriate any money for
rehabilitation; when the returning
AEF found that soldiers in training
camps at home had been demobil-
lied first, and taken most of the
best jobs. They don't want to see
all this happen again.
Our returned soldier will actually
get his job through the United
States Employment Service, work
ing with Veterans Employment
man. And in the process he may
find that his local Clearing House
Committee, working closely with
government agencies, has played a
major part in his unemployment.

nected with government. In fact
no government official may be q

Present unemployment organiza-
ton and practice promises that
when our service men and women
come home, they will find that
their job-seeking will not be rou-
tine, serial-numbered matter, but
personalized problem.
Already there is congressional
legislation pending to give veterans
mustering-out pay, loans to rees-
tablish them in business. guaran-
tees of their Social Security credit.
The President has asked that funds
be provided to help them continue
their education, and the request
probably will be granted.
SENIORITY ASSURED
The law guarantees veterans
their former jobs or one equally
good. Civil Service assures them
preferential treatment. The U. S.
Office of Education is now offering
short, intensive, vocational train
ing courses in 200 colleges. The
labor unions are protecting the
seniority of their members in the
armed forces.
These aids, and others like them,
will help the new veterans over the
rough times ahead. AS one Army
