vETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

WASHINGTON - I heard about an eX-Navy fellow who had been placed by the United States Elm ployment Service in a good job at Boiling Field in Washington
 I thought his name was Lief Bow man, but it seems it might have tcsn Lief Boughman or Baumin. So because of this uncertainty about the spelling of his name, never did locate him and get a chance to talk with him.
 But I'll tell the story briefly any way Seems that Bowman, a long time ago, was being discharged from a hospital in Jacksonville. He had a serious injury to his leg, as remamber the story which he got cn an aircraft carrier. In the Navy he had been an airplane engine me chanic.
 Before leaving the hospital for his home in Richmond, he was inter viewed by a U. s. Employment Ser vice representative stationed at the hospital At that time, he was told the location of the Richmond USES cificc
 He wanted to work on airplane en- zines and suggested maybe a job would be open at an air base outside of Richmond. But, when he got there, the USES people discovered that only lst and 2d Echelon en- zine repair work was done at the Richmond installation. That meant considerable crawling under and ! ever and around airplane, and Bowmans physical condition wasn't up tc it.
 USES knew that 3rd Ecneion work is done at Boiling Field in Wash
 ington-which isn't so far from Richmond Also Boiling Field is 9 l permanent Army base. A guy could do shop work there or bench work If he had a knowledge of airplanl engines and had mechanical ability | fle could work on engines or engina

CHICAGO, Dec. 11-Commission- CT A. B. Chandler had paradoxical vote of confidence from his baseball bosses, six minor leagues were pro- noted a notch, and two national league doormats had launched a 1945 rebuilding program as the ma jor leagues moved into the second day of their winter meeting today.
 Chandler, rebuffed by the minor leagues at their annual conclave in Columbus last week, was depicted by the majors as a victim of "misun- derstanding but also defined as a commissioner without the dictatorial power of his predecessor, the late Kensaw Mountain Landis.
 The majors approved the amend ment to the major-minor agreement adopted by the minors last week which removes from the commits sioner the authority to rule baseball legislation detrimental" This was the same rule adopted by the ma jors a few weeks after Landis' death in November, 1944, and before Chandler became commissioner.
 The unofficial highlight of the opening session was the sale by the Cincinnati Reds of veteran first base man Frank Buck Mccormick to the Philadelphia for a reported $50 000 in cash and one player to be named later.
 The bigwigs huddled in a joint American league session to study the plea of the Pacific Coast league to become a third major league, but deferred action until i Wednesdays closing joint meeting with Commissioner Chandler
 However, a certain amount of l grade-raising did transpire. The International League. American Association and Pacific Coast League all were given a new status of triple ] A leagues The Southern Associa- tion and Texas League were raised i to double-A and the South Allan tic, or Sally League. was lifted into i Class A.

cd. All USES offices have orders now Go give veterans first chance at any suitable open jobs. If you don't know what kind of job you should try for there should be a trained job counsellor available free. The veterans counsellor himself may be trained for this purpose.
 If you feel you're getting the run around, you can explain things to the manager of the office. Remem- Der you must be reasonable. Just because you demand the moon with couple of stars thrown in and you don't ge. them, doesn't mean that you're getting any brush-off or un- fair treatment.
 But you're entitled to courtesy and some service. If you don't get it the local manager wants to know it from you, because he doesn't want you to protes, to the state vetarars em- plcyment representative, which would be your right

Disease Sweeps
Citrus Groves

SACRAMENTO Feb 20. CUP)-
c. B. Hutcheson, dean of the state
college of agriculture at Berkeley,
describes a mysterious orange tree
disease as the most startling thing
he had ever seen in the plant world.
You can almost see an orange
plant die CT the disease known as
quick decline of citrus, Hutcheson
told the state board of agriculture.
Quick decline of citrus has spread
through 300 properties in southern
California, A. A. Brock, director
of agriculture, said. In some orch
ards the disease has killed 80 tc 40
per cent of the trees in o single
season. Cause of the disease is un-
known.
Brock said quarantine of the dis
eased area would be impractical be-
cause research specialists have not
yet determined that the disease is
infectious. If the unknown host car
rying the disease is borne by a
virus the winds in southern Cali
fornia would spread the disease
regardless CT a quarantine, Brock
said.
The spread of this citrus disease
demonstrates the need for state
agricultural scouts who would de-
tect plant diseases in their early
stages, Hutcheson said.

violence, and praised Bridges union
for '"sparing no effort" in further

He said carrying out of the de-

MISSOURI CONSIDERS
NEW BASIC LAW

Of outstanding interest to all the other
Commonwealths is the approaching deci-
sion of Missourians on whether or not to
adopt a new Constitution. The citizenry
of that state did not hearken to the argu-
ment that wartime was not propltlouS for
considering so important a move and
have gone ahead to submit the work of
a constitutional convention to the cleo
torate set for February %.
During last years election, California.
considering the dozen proposals on the
ballot, several in the way of amendments
to the constitution, broached the subject
of convention and the start of a new
constitution. Their arguments paralleled
those in Missouri, namely, that the con-
stitution is overburdened with amend
ments and that the time was at hand to
revamp the entire basic law of the state.
In the case of California, the constitu-
ton, as many times amended, dates from
The time of statehood. In Missouri, the
present constitution has been in force
since 1875.
Major changes in the Missouri, were
written into the document after members
had found it necessary to accede to COM
promises, and naturally not all the right
about features reached the document
about to be passed upon by the people.
Under these compromises the new con-
stitution calls for the merit system for
the administration of eleemosynary and
penal institutions, removing what had
been more or less a spoils system, with
too much temptation for politicians. 1t
places the states schools under non-par-
tisan control and takes the courts out
of partisan politics and paves the way
for reform in an antiquated criminal
court procedure.
There are many other changes, but
the major ones mentioned more nearly
ally generally to the other states and
their basic law.

Lend.Lease Aid
Now Totals
S35,382,0O0,0O0

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (UP)
Congress was told Tuesday that the
United States has poured $685.
100000 into the war machines of its
Allies in a little less than four years
of lend-lease operations.
But despite this steady flow of
aid to other nations, the foreign
economic administration said in its
18th quarterly lend-lease report,
Americans have been deprived of
cnly small percentages of such
hard-to-get commodities as meats,
butter and cigaIets. All lend-lease
butter has gone to Russia and rep
resents only four per cent of the
total U. S. supply.
For every cigaret shipped under
lend-lease in 1914, for example,
Americans at home smoked SIS while
26 were sent to American forces
overseas. Lend-leasec Importance
as cause of domestic shortages
has been greatly overstated in
numerous false rumors," FEA said.
The report Gid not carry the
usual letter of transmittal from
President Roosevelt 1t showed that
lend-lease exports rose in Decem-
Der to Sl,319,O0O,O00 after shortage
of shipping had cut them below the
all-time high reached in the pre-
invasion months.
The record month last May, when
the u. S. channeled $l,399, 1000, 600
in goods to the Allies-chiefly to
grid U. S. and British troops for
their plunge into Normandy and
the liberation drive toward Berlin.
The report promised "a steady
increasing stream of cupplies' to
China over the newly Opened Still
well road in preparation of climac-
tic blows against Japan's land
armies.
