VETERAN5' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

erence to all honorably discharged service men for jobs in Washington D. C., and this was extended later to include appointments in the exc cutive branch everywhere.
 Now we have all statutes, execu- tive orders and regulations consoli- dated in the trial size wrapper. And we have objections. One bullet from the rifle of s. H. Ordway, Jr. whistles past your ear this way:
 The underlying principle of the merit system required that there shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens to compete for public employment and that the best qual- flied shall serve the state. To say that the veteran shall have prefer ence beyond his demonstrated capa- city, in competition with other ap- plcants, is to say that the less quail fled shall be selected because of gratitude and sacrifice made in mili- tary service"
 This same critic claims that, with age limitation for all veterans waiv- ed, there will be large number of dis abled and aging World War I veter- ans appointed for many years to come, and, with 12,0c0,000 new vet erans, most Federal registers will be headed by veterans for whom educational and physical require ments are waived, so non-veteran citizens will have small chance.
 Next we have the National Con- mittee on Post War Civil Service Problems-a setup of the National Civil Service League, and develop ment of the old Civil Service Re- form League. The president of Tenn pie University is chairman of this committee of ten now urging that veteran preference should apply only

DEAD RIPE GRAIN
 IS GOING UNCUT IN KANSAS AREA

GARDEN CITY, Kansas, July Is Thousands of acres of dead ripe grain remain uncut in northwest Kansas because combines have not been able to get into the rain soaked fields and farmers anticipate a terrific loss.
 Grainmen estimate that less than 10 per cent of the acreage north of the Arkansas River and west of Dodge City, Kansas, has been har- vested.
 They described the freight car situation around Garden City as worse than that of 1944, saying a million bushels of wheat will be piled on the ground this week in this immediate locality if no more rain falls and cutting gets fully under way.

WASHINGTON - One of Ameri- ca's ways of repaying the men who have fought our wars has been the Veterans Preference Act, applying to Government jobs. Some people are taking swings at the act-trying to kind of beat its ears down.
 That's serious and veterans ought to know about it because, if the act does any good at all, it does it for veterans So here's the situation now.
 First, the late President Roosevelt said this, in part: q believe that the Federal Government, functioning in it's capacity as an employer, should take the lead in assuring those who are in the armed services that when they return, special consideration will be given to them in their efforts to obtain employment
 The Civil Service Commission has urged preference as desirable "be- cause it is means of rewarding a veteran and it prevents him from being penalized in looking for work after months or years of isolation from the civilian world.
 Congress took up the cause and passed the Veterans Preference Act in l944. Veterans organizations were behind this push to secure vet erans' preference privileges. I say secure" and not 1get" because, al- ready, veterans had some preference But the act wrapped tip these pref orences into one package.
 The preference principle in Fed eral employment isn't new. The first preference statute, enacted in March 1865 just after the Civil War. applied to persons honorably discharged be- cause of line of duty disability. Then the Census Act of 1919 gave pref
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-07-18

to appointment and not to promo ton, that retention in positions twhere reductions are contemplated te based on seniority and efficiency, regardless of veteran statue, and that veteran preference apply only for a period of five years after the war. These reforms" could be a start towards more nullifying changes later.
 But the U. s. Civil Service Con- mission itself disagrees. It believes present provisions of the Veterans Preference Act are OK. The Com mission was consulted before the act was passed and it approves of the law.
 I'm not arguing. I'm just telling you, in case you're interested.
