Veterans Job Bill
Hit by Civil Service
Reform League
Stornes Measure Called
Unjust and InequitobIe II
Servicemen Themselves

The Starnes bill to broaden the
preferential employment status OF
veterans in the Government service
contains provisions that would work
out not only unjustly TO those who
are not veterans, but inequitably
and In discriminatory way among
veterans themselves" the National
Civil Service Reform League today
told President Roosevelt.
In a detailed criticism of the
measure introduced by Representa-
tive Starnes, Democrat, of Alabama
the league took particular exception
to proposal that 10 and points
credit. respectively, be given to dis
abled and nondisabled veterans.
even though they fail to receive this
"indefensible.
Warn Against Haste.
The league communication was
prompted by letter President
Roosevelt recently sent to Chairman
Ramspeck of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee urging sympathetic
consideration" of the Starnes bill,
Al the same time, the President
Instructed the Civil Service Com
mission and the executive agencies
to put special emphasis on the en-
plovment of veterans by the Gov
ernment.
Urging that the Starnes bill "be
not hastily adopted in its present
form, but that anV preferences in
the Federal civil service be inte-
grated with other comprehensive
programs for abilitating, train
ing and re-employing veterans" the
league said:
Reasonable Standards.
For the sake of the efficiency of
the public service, other aids for the
veterans ought to be developed as
far as possible in order that reliance
on the veterans preference may be
kept at minimum. Nobody will
have a greater stake in the effec-
tivenesS and competence of the
Government service after the war
than the veterans themselves"
The league said that credits for
veterans status should be available
only to those persons attaining at
least a passing mark in competitive
examination and that all reason
able standards of education and ex-
perlence normally and usually pre-
scribed by the Civil Service Com
mission" should be maintained.

 We'll, as put in my combat report, went Into an le0 degree turn and started for home as fast as possible. But just before leav. ing I took one more look, Com. pletely to my surprise, I observed results of Q collision. They were signs of an explosion and three wings were flipping end over end So I went back and took pictures of the wreckage. The only thing can figure out is that the planes got caught in my prop wash and that they were both pulled into the center of the wash and crashed. Anyhow I didn't stick around. I took off for home.
 They were pretty excited when I got home. I'd been out two-and.a. half hours and they thought they weren't ever going to see me again,
