Your GI Rights
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON seRVlcEMeN's PRoBleAAs
By DOUGLAS LARSEN

Washington, Sept. 4-Return of congress to Washington this week will see revived interest in several new veterans bills which were in- troduced but not acted on before congress went home for vacation.
 Chief point to be cleared up in pending legislation concerns rights of veterans to take jobs without having to join unions. Because of the great amount of postwar legis- lation to be considered, however, immediate action on any of the pending veterans bill is not ex- pected. and clarifcation of contro- versies on job rights will still be made most rapidly through local rulings and direct negotiation and their employers.
 Here are a few of the typical questions which have come into Washington on such questions in the past few days:
 o. I wanted to enlist in the Navy, but couldn't pass physical. So I signed on with the Merchant Mar inc. But now that the war is over Is there any chance to get back to my old job on the shore? They tell me now that the CT Bill of Rights doesn't protest us men in the Mer- chant Marine.
 A. Your rights are protected. Al- though the Selective Service Act does not provide reinstatement rights for men who have left jobs to serve in the Merchant Marine, your rights are protected under an- other law. The War Shipping Ad- Ininistration, Department of Com merce Building, Washington, has responsibility for administering this law, dong the same things done by the Veterans Bureau for men in the armed services.
 Q. Before going in the Army 1 was Q machine operator In an elec- triCal plant, but In the Army I have learned to be g radio repairman. When I go back to by former em- pl0yer, can I demand . better job, or do I have to start in where I left off?
 A. Most employers are genuinely interested in up-grading returning service men. There is, however, no regulation requiring your old em- ployer to give you better job than the one you had.
 Q. I got out of the service year ago and got by old job back in the autO plant. but now comes Q lays off and out I go. As vet don't they have to keep me on the job as long as there Is any work?
 A. A New York court has just ruled that in the one year after dis- charge period of unemployment. vet- erans have super seniority rights. Veterans are therefore entitled to work on any day there Is work to be given and no nonveterans shall work when such work can be done by c veterans

Wonnon Says Nozis Killed Four Million
 Polish Jew Says
 All Were Token
 To Gas Chambers
To Gas Chambers
BY RONALD CLARK United Press Staff COrreRn0nden

kOuUeO FFeSS SLaIL correspondent
 Lueneburg, Sept. 21-(UP)-A woman victim of Nazi prison camp stood before British military tri- bunal today and pointed out amnog the 45 Germans standing trial those she charged with responsibility for murdering her entire family.
 Mrs. Ada Dimko, a Polish Jew, slowly walked across then tense courtroom and coldly designated the defendants who had showed her par entS, husband, brother, and small son into trucks and taken them to the gas chambers at Oswiecim.
 She estimated that 4,000, 900 others had died in the same manner at the notorious concentration camp. She said that she too had been bundled into the truck but for some reason they had allowed her to live.
 The 45 prisoners-19 of them wo- men-are charged with committing atrocities both at Belsen and Os- wiecim. They stood with flushed faces as Mrs. Dimko spoke.
 First Witness
 Mrs. Dinko, the first witness to- day, said that she and other Jews were rounded up in a Polish town and sent in single batch to As- wiecim.
 When the prisoners reached Os- wiecim they were carelessly divided into two groups by an SS man. One group remained alive to suffer in the concentration camp, the others were sent immediately to the gas chambers.
 From Thursday through Sunday during one week, she said, more than 5000 Jews were sent to Oswie- elm where they were paraded and the sick and lame were selected for killing.
 can you give me the name of any of the doctors who aided in this?" she was asked.
 She gave several names and then she walked across the courtroom again and pointed to Dr. Fritz Klein, who was in charge, of medical ar- rangementS at Belsen after leaving Oswiecirn.
 "He is one of them" she cried out. Then she moved along the line of faces - they sat with only numbers to identify them - and picked out Josef Kramer, the com- mandant at Belsen, and several others whom she recognized.
 They stood up when she pointed to them. Most were unable to meet her eyes.
 Pointing to a man in the second row, she said: T saw him shoot a woman before the British arrived at the camp"
 Then she went on down the line

Novy Reveals Roles Played ByLocoI Men
 Two Serve Behind
 Jop Lines with
 Intelligence Unit

Washington.-It can now be re- vealed that U. V. Sparano, 37 Rail- road Hill St., Waterbury, Conn, and Richard H. Macomber, Rm 3-c, 271 Grove street, played role in one of the most romantic and dan gerouS episodes of the war against Japan-as member of Naval group of guerrillas, intelligence agents and weather observers behind the Jap anese lines in Asia.
 The group. now known as SACO Sino-American operative Or ganization-began shortly after Pearl Harbor as strictly weather reporting unit.
 The project grew until it was providing the U. s. Fleet, the Army's l4th Air Force and the Chinese and American Army Headquarters with weather reports and with intelli- gence on movement of Jap ships, troops and supplies. Finally, 1t be- came a dangerous fighting outfit, killing Japs, blowing up trains, raid- ing Jap outposts. Its activities final ly extended all the way from 1ndo- China to the Gobi Desert.
 SACO intelligence allowed the l4th Air Force to mine coastal waters, forcing Jap shipping out to sea, where they were attacked by American submarines, on inforna- ton from SACO..
 Weather information helped the Navy decide when to stage inva- sions on Jap islands and raids on the Jap homeland.
 Usually 1t was possible to enter or depart from Jap territory by air. but SACO Americans became adept at Chinese disguises and, guided by SACO Chinese, slipped though enemy lines when they chose. Through months and years not one SACO member was detected.

 When the Japs hit Pearl Harbor, the Eighth, Q regular Army outfit, was assigned to patrol the U. s. east coast. It sailed for Europe in De- cember, 1043, and landed in Nor- mandy on the Fourth of July. Dur ing the next months 1t was res- ponsible for capture of Sl6,0O0 pri- soners, 250,000 of whom were seized when the Golden Arrows made a swift dash to the Elbe in April, es- tabilshing a brideghead there and Joining with Russian forces.
