Veterans Preference
Washington Post)

Washington Post
 We wonder why Congress did not think of extend ing veterans preference benefits to former servcemen who might want to for election to the national legislature. This is a perfectly feasible idea. It could be provided example that in every election district where veteran announced himself as a candidate, the ballot boxes should be stuffed in advance with, say thousand votes to his credit. Thus in order to be elected, any nonveteran would have to secure excess of thousand votes and above the total boiled for any veteran who might oppose him.
 This arrangement would be roughly comparable to that which is established for the classified civil service in the executive branch of the govern ment Under the Starnes-Scrugham Act, honorably discharged servcemen women to be given five points in addition to their earned ratings in civil service examinations if they have disability, they to be given ten-point advantage, and in case they themselves unable to qualify this en-pont advantage goes to the wives or widows In addition, the names of tenpoint preference eligibles are to be placed above all other the civil service list while any fivepon preference eligible after he has received the five points to which he is enttled-is to be certified for appointment ahead of any nonveteran who made the rating in a civil service examination-w benefit of the five points.
 The Post believes-and indeed has often urged that every reasonable effort be made to open job opportunities to returning servcemen But the status of these men can only be debased by treating them as interiors incapable securing jobs through free competition with their fellow citizens And the Gov ernment of the United States only be debased if it selects its personnel basis of sentiment rather than merit There can be no merit system in which veterans given preference, simply because they served their country in uniform over non- veterans happen to be better qualified And this is no less true in the executive branch of the Gov ernment than in the legislative branch
 Many of the members of Congress who voted for the -Scrugham Act are among those who have been loud in their denuncaton of the Federal bureau cracy Yet they do not hesitate to treat the execu- tive branch of the Government trough out of which to feed cheaply at public expense The device contributes very little to the welfare of veterans and nothing at all to the efficiency of Government

 While the rest of the soldier vote act is only temporary meas ure for the duration of this war it happens that title 5, the section now causing all the trouble, is a permanent addition to the law ot the land.
