Peak Of 25,O00,oO0
Seeking Postwar Jobs.
Predicted al Forum

Predicting that there would be a
peak of about 25,oOO0O0 workers
seeking jobs after the war, includ-
ing both veterans and discharged
war workers, Evan Clague, director
of the Bureau of Employment Sc
curity, Social Security Board, last
night urged readjustment from
wartime to peacetime employment
as rapidly as possible to avoid the
dangers of turmoil, turnover and
uncertainties.
Mr.. Clague told forum on ''the
return of the veteran to civilian
employment" at the Interior De-
partment, that an expert in his
Office had estimated that about half
of the veterans returning from the
armed forces would have benefited
from skills they learned while in
uniform.
Emerson Schmidt, of the United
States Chamber of Commerce pre-
dicted "very serious headaches" in
the country from unemployment
problems after the war. He urged
that all Government planning for
unemployment should be co-ordi-
mated and recommended that busi-
nessmen be ready to realize some

Stubblefield Speaks.
Bruce Stubblefield, of the Ameri-
can Legion told the forum his or
ganization is backing a bill in Con-
gress to centralize all veterans af-
fairs in the Veterans Administra-
ton. On the other hand, Millard
Rice, of the Disabled American Vet
Grams disagreed, contending that the
able bodied veterans of the wal
should be handled as other Ameri-
can civilians, and the disabled vet
Grams taken care of by the Veterans
Administration. 'The Veterans Ad-
ministration, he said, should not
be overburdened by problems of the
able bodied veteran"

power Commission, emphasized that
the veteran was only part of the
greater problem of readjustment
faced by all employment services
which would have to fit themselves
to the changeover from wartime to
peacetime economy.
During a question and answer
period it was asked why there wasn't t
one single Government agency
charged with unemployment of vet

about jobs.

now was required to report back to

were obliged to give him help and
guidance.
o. D. Hollenbeck, chief of the
Veterans Employment Service Divi-
sion of War Manpower Commits
sion said seven demonstration offices
had been established throughout the
country for counselling veterans.
Arthur w. Motley, acting director
of the Bureau of Placement, War

ice cant do the job with the staff
of workers it has now. We will
need a larger staff and a better
trained staff when jobs get scarcer
and the unemployed become larger

Starring Richard Green, whom the
British Army furloughed to make

the skyways.

Spence Orchard Greenes role) +,
who joins the American division of

The real stars of the picture are

flight to the objective; and then
the drama of the raid itself.
