"We would be pleased to see
you home for trip, as you
have been away about a score
OF years now.
There is no pleasure here
these days since the robot plane
was introduced. We, don't get
much rest for we are on the
alert night and day.
1T is very trying time but
the people are standing up and
taking it good.
~ don't think the robot is SO
devastating as the blitz was,
The casualties are not so heavy.
Most injuries are from the blast
OF broken glass.
Right here (173 Christchurch,
London) we have had some mar
row escapes, and had one robot
shot down. l saw it from my
garden and it landed few
minutes walk from home. We
have had several drop very
close.

"Our sister Ethel was blasted
out of her home last week by a

Il did not like to risk having

The third White Russian
Army was, reported 40 miles
east of the rail city Of Inster-

western route. 1t captured 80
settlements in the past "a hours.
The Szeszuppe river, a tribu-

Army push was believed con-
centrated north of Eydtkuhnen

Meanwhile Soviet offensives
in Estonia and west of the Wis
tula Bend below Warsaw scored
new successes, while East of the
besieged Polish capital continu-
ing Nazi counter-attacks were
repulsed.

Nazis were giving up on patches.
The deughboys captured them
all over the hills. For example:
Pvt. Tommy Cartright, Cor

around the hills alone, decided
to slide down one slope to get to
the bottom. He slid into two
enemy machine guns manned by
seven ferries.
They gave up Immediately.
Then they showed him the way
back 10 his headquarters.
RUSH TO SURRENDER
Sgt. Stanley Kellar, Library,
Pa, climbed down off a tank,
and walked along the road,
chucking rocks over the side of
a cliff.
"Kamerad!" was the shout.
Seven capitulating Germans
came over the top of the cliff,
flushed by his stone throwing.
Walking down the road lead
ing 35 prisoners were Sgt. Virgil
Cork, Tuscaloosa, Ala, and
three American privates.
They just came out of a
draw with their hands up" said
Cork.
Yesterday Cork's platoon,
headed by Capt. Alfred E. Ma
kins, former newspaperman at
Abilene, Kas., and 1t. Carl j.
Storm, $40 Southeast Pleasant
street, Grand Rapids, Mich, in
addition to taking Al prisoners,
captured battery of 80 German
mortars, complete with ammun-
ition and gun crews.
Before Cork finished talking
43 more ferries were led around
the corner by Sgt. James Clark,
Charlotte, Mich, and five of his
men.
SINGLE SHOT
I'VE saw 'em in railroad

at them to come on up. They
wouldn't. We fired one shot

back to the time he was refused
a job.
Q-What about the physical
fitness of the veteran?
A-The employer is entitled
to ask for a checkup, but not
from US. Selective Service will
not furnish a certificate of dag
nosis, nor will it let an employ
er refuse job on questionable
physical grounds.
Q-What about replacement
worker who does the job bet
ter?
A-That is no reason why the
veteran can't have the job back.
Q-Suppose the employer
should be forced to retrench
after rehiring veterans, can they
be discharged for such reason?
A-Not for one year, during
which their 'supersenierity"
prevails over seniority of other
workers.

Seniority
Continued from Page One)


"superseniority" for veterans.
Reuther contended that the
law provided only for like sen.
iority'-that is, that military
service should be added to work
seniority, and that a veteran
would contend for jobs on such
an aggregate seniority basis.
ENTITLED TO JOB
Griffith cited the law saying
man is entitled to his job back
if; He reports within 40
days; 2-His discharge was hon
orable; She is qualified to dc
the work; 4 - The employer
circumstances are not changed
radically.
Those conditions met, Griffith
said, a returning veteran gets
his job even if this means dis
charging a non-veteran with
more seniority
Reuther contended this meant
a two-year seniority man with
service could displace a ten
year man. Griffith said that
was right, if the latter had re-
placed the drafted man.
Reuther also contended this
Interpretation ruled out the Civ
ing of seniority rights to those
veterans who had been classified
as temporary workers prior to
their drafting.
Outlining the problems faced,
Griffith said 1.-The toughest job
for Selective Service still lies
ahead" 1t is we'll in the future,
however, he added, commenting;
FINE ELEMENT
IF the war ended in Europe
tomorrow, it would take more
than a year to bring back the
boys in Europe now, to say moth
ing of those who will be trans
ferred to the japanese theater. >
Griffith estimated some 49,
100000 men eventually would
have gone through Selective
Service into the armed forces
and out again.
Discharges from the services
already have totaled 1920, 1000,
he said.
Applying Selective Service
rehiring principles to that
group, he added, has resulted in
only two court cases.
Of Reuther's contentious, Grit
fifth said: Selective Service does
not interpret the act, it only
enforces it. Anyone who disa-
grees can 60 to Congress and
have it changed or go to court
and get a different ruling if the
Court sees the law differently
from the way Selective Service
does.
CLARIFIES PROBLEMS
Answering questions from the
floor, Griffith clarified some
points at issue:
Q-What is temporary en-
ploye?
A-Anyone who succeeded
the first man drafted from job.
Q-What is a temporary job?
A-One created during the
emergency and not in existence
after peace comes.
Q-What about the veteran

Encouraged by the fans reaction.
Laken booked Petersen for a second
