Washington, Feb G. Selective Service reports that many men are not reporting to their draft board after they are released from the armed service, as is required by law.
 Whatever the reason is for this negligence, reporting is required to protect the interest of the veteran. The board gives him a 1-C classifi- cation card which he must be able to show at any time and has the responsibility of seeing that he gets his old job back if he wants it. That is, assuming he is honorably dis charged. The board will also advise him of his other rights as a veteran.
 Q. At the time was drafted I had a part-time job in addition to my regular job. Do I have reem- plOyment rights in 1t?
 A. Yes, if at the time you took the part time job 1t was not agreed that it was only temporary. Also you must still be able to perform the duties satisfactorily, apply for reinstatement within 90 days, he honorably discharged and the firm

The State Department conceded to.
night that something very close to
British and Russian spheres of in
fluence exists in Europe but said
they were inevitable" in actual
fighting areas.
Under the Yalta declaration on
liberated areas, 1t was emphasiz-
ed thatthis government policy
is to seek the adoption of demo
cratic processes" wherever there
is possibility Of action for that pur-
pose, but at the same time it was
made clear that in the case Of
Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary
as we'll as other countries in mill
tary zones, full democratic pro-
cesses cannot begin until the end
of the military operation period. :"
The views were set forth in an
NBC radio program, fourth OF a
with liberated areas.
The statements which in effect
the agreements made
by President Roosevelt w h
Prime Minister Churchill and Pre-
mier Stain in the Crimean con-
ference furnished pertinent back
ground for the American Govern
ment's current discussions with
Russia and Britain over what
Washington regards asthe develop
ment of communist minority gov
ernments in the Balkans.
Such government, in the
Washington view, already has
come into existence in Romania.
Diplomatic quarters here are wor-
ried that similar developments
may be building up in Bulgaria.
1.-The Yalta declaration should
have cleared up that point COM
pletely. The British a n d Soviet
Governments, with the United
States and France, are pledged to
consult with each other constantly
in every part of liberated Europe,
Assistant Secretary of St a e
James c. Dunn said. Most of this
talk of power politics and spheres
Of influence stems from the mill
tary situation.
by the very course of events,
the Russian Armies have been op-
Grating in Eastern Europe and

ON TEXTILE PAY

WASHINGTON, March 17.-P-
A War Labor Board order tomgnt
lifted a previous stay on grant
ing fringe wage increases OF
5O,O00 textile workers, but final
decision was left with other Gov

WLB Chairman George w. lay
lor said compensation provisions

essary or, if price relief is nee
essary, upon approval OF the dlrec-
tor of economic sterilization"
The board said it's original order
provided wage adjustments based
chiefly on correcting substandards
of living. It covered disputes IN
volving % Southern cotton textile
companies, Is New England cot
ton and rayon companies, and six
New York and Pennsylvania rayon
companies.
This provided a SIS cent hourly
minimum rating, five cent hour
ly increase in all rates above 81
cents an hour to maintain mini
mum differentials, a premium OF
five cents an hour for third-shift
work in southern cases, and one
week vacation with pay for en-
ployes Of some southern COM

HOUSE AND SENATE
CLEAR CALENDARS

RALEIGH, March II. - @ -
The House and Senate just about
cleared their calendars today as
they sought to adjourn sine die
by the middle of next week.
Ending its most active six-day
stretch. the assembly saw most of
it's members in their seats today
the first time that has happened
on a Saturday. The final day Of
the week usually is given over
to the consideration of local bills
only.
A bill giving wide police pow
ers to state highway patrolmen
was passed by the House. Describ-
ed in cloakroorns as compromise
effected between Governor Cherry
and the sheriffs' association, it
would give to patrolmen: Full
powers on the highways or on ad-
iacent property; full powers when
thew are called out by sheriffs
or police chiefs; and full power
in making an arrest for a GRIM
committed in their presence.
It was opposed by Rep. Barker
of Durham, who, in sending up an
amendment, said it would give pa
trolnen too much power. He I'M
successfully sought to limit pa
trolmen's power to the highways
or to important connecting roads.
Passed by the Senate were bills
creating state board OF shorthand
reporters and regulating the prac-
tice Of shorthand reporters in the
superior courts; and creating a
State Ports Commission, whose
primary aim would be the devel-
opments of the ports Of Wilmington,
Morehead City and Southport.
Reps. Boswood of Currituck and
Vogler Of Mecklenburg sent up
bill-somewhat similar to two al
ready killed, providing for con-
stitutional amendment on ipcreas-
ed pay for legislators. Their meas
ure would pay members 5000
session instead of the present $500
and increase the pay Of the speak
er from $500 a session to $1,000.
Also passed by the House were
bills rewriting the fishing laws, in
creasing about 80 fees in amounts
ranging from Is to S., and provid-
ing a tax of three cents a bushel
on oysters and clans would 60
TO propagation of the shellfish in
Pamlico waters; and providing
that warehouses and spectators
buying tobacco for resale on ware
house floors must first have it
by public weighmaster.
The present law applies only to
farmers offering their tobacco for
sale on warehouse floors.
Rep. Blalock of Arson sent up
a joint resolution providing for the
appointment of a five-man COM
to study program of
state building, with the chief aim
If providing other space for the
