Tells Workers
To 'Sit Tight
Dismissed Employees
And Veterans to Get
First Crack at Jobs /
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Dismissed Government war sery-
ice appointees and returning serv-.
icemen desiring Federal jobs will be
given preference in future Govern
ment employment under plans
being set up by the Civil Service
Commission, it was learned today.
In effect, no one will be consid-
cred for Federal employment until
the list of veterans and dismissed
war service employees has been ex-
hausted.
The plan will go in effect shortly,
In time to aid many Federal work
ers who will be dismissed in the
days Immediately following vi day.
Jobs in Other Bureaus.
Meanwhile, civil service officials
urged Government employees here
to sit tight" and await develop
ments.
There is no reason for any one
to become panicky," a Civil Service
Commission spokesman said today.
Mass dismissals won't come for
some time yet and many war service
employees will have a chance to
secure employment in other Gov
ernment agencies" the spokesman
said.
While the activities of most war
agencies will be either abolished or
curtailed, other Government bu-
reaus will expand their operations,
he said. These latter agencies offer
thousands of job opportunities for
Government workers who have lost
their war service jobs.
Shortage of Clerical Help.
Among the agencies slated for
expansion are the Veterans Admin
istration, Treasury Department, Re-
construction Finance Corp. and the
Surplus Property Board. Other
agencies such as the Commerce,
Agriculture and Interior Depart
ments have shortages of stenogra-
pliers, typists and other clerical
help.
Government officials do not ex-
pect that the jobs available at these
peacetime agencies will begin to
take care of the dismissed war serv-
ice appointees, but they do say that
thousands of jobs will be available.
Plans have not yet been COM
pleted, but Civil Service Commits
sion officials are anxious to devise
a system whereby dismissed en-
ployes with high efficiency ratings
should get first crack at peacetime
jobs. Length of seniority and quail
ity of efficiency will determine the
applicants chances.

Blind Lead Blind; Eye
Dog Proves Sightless

CORAL GABLES, FLA. = The old
adage claims that ''if two blind men
help each other along a road, they
both fall into ditch"
The adage, however. takes no con-
sideration of blind man and a
blind dog. especially II the dog is a
seeing eye dog" but nevertheless
sightless.
Joe Yates, courthouse cigar stand
operator, and former city council
man, is part Of such a twosome.
Yates, who is blind. has for many
years been inseparable from a
large German police dog named
Pedro. Pedro has been trained at
THE Seeing Eye Inc.." Morristown,
N. j.. to act as guide for Yates.
Recently Pedro suffered a heart
attack and was given the services
of veterinary. The DOG Doctor"
took one look at Pedro and in
formed Yates that Pedro might
have been a Seeing Eye Dog" but
nevertheless was sightless and had
been so for long time. Large cata-
racts had grown over both eyes but
the dog had such sharp sense Of
smell and such fine hearing that he
had no trouble in leading his mas
ter.

Million Bushels
lOf Shells Planted
In 1945-O'COnOr
100000 Bushels Seed Oys-
tiers Transplanted - Stag
Paintings Tried

Approximately 100000 bushels
of oyster shells have been planted
by the Commission of Tidewater
Fisheries this Spring, and more
than 100000 bushels of seed oyst-
ers tfansplanted, Governor Herbert
R. O'Conor made known today, fol-
lowing report on shell planting
and seed transplanting operations
by the Commission. Only two oper-
ations remained to be completed in
the shell planting, the Governor re-
vealed.
About $1,000 bushels of seeds
were transplanted from Holland
Straits to Haines Point Bar in
Tangier Sound, Governor O'Conor
made known, and close to $4,000
bushels were moved from Mill Hill
Bar in Eastern Bay to growing
areas in Talbot, Dorchester Anne
Arundel, Kent and Queen Annes
waters. The largest single planting
comprised $4,000 bushels of seed
placed in the Chester River on
Strong Bar for the use of the teng-
ers in Kent and Queens Annes
Counties, he declared. These oyst-.
ers were two and three years
old, the Governor pointed out,
stressing that they should be ready
for the market either this fall or
the following one.
Governor O'Conor stated that
the Commission has attempted
gradually to improve the results of
shell planting over the past several
years by careful examinations and
surveys of the bottom before the
shells are planted, and by timing
planting operations so that shells
are placed overheard as near as
possible to the time of setting of
the larval oysters. This shift in
time of shell planting has been eff
fected despite considerable labor
difficulties during late May and
June, he said.
This problem has been overcome
to considerable extent" Governor
O'Conor said, through the cooper
alton of the State Roads Commits
sion and the Department of Cor
rection who have permitted the use
of prison labor at the Kent Mar
rows and in the Patuxent River
area. The State has also been for
tunate in obtaining prisoners of
war in Somerset County to load
shells for planting there"
At Tilghams Island labor short
ages were overcome by the use of
a force pump to wash the shells
overheard from scow, he reveal
ed. This method of planting has
been used successfully in New Eng
land and gives promise of great
value in Maryland, he said.
Stag has often been mentioned as
an ideal cultch for the attachment
of young oysters, the Commission
reported to the Governor. A limit
ed supply has been made available
to the State this year for expert
mental purposes and planted in the
vicinity of Hoopers Island in Tar
Bay.
In the past two seasons, the
Commission has planted about g.
100000 bushels of shells and trans
planted in excess of 100000 bushels
of seed, Governor O'Conor empha-
sized. This considerable quantity of
seed was produced from shells in
seed areas and transplantod under
the authority of an Act passed by
the Legislature in 1913. 1t is felt
by Conservation officials, he said,
that a considerable increase in pro-
duction should result this year if
sufficient labor is available in the
plants to handle the oysters caught.

CHE: SS

Mention has frequently been made
of the unusual interest in chess in
Russia. Through governmental support
and ss part of the curriculum in the
schools IL has become the national
game OF the people. AS a result there
has been developed an enormous num-
ber Of excellent players who have
through painstaking analysis so inn
proved their games that the slightest
error on the part of the opponent will
cause the loss of his game. In addi-
ton. number of the masters have
devoted their time TO the production
of highly involved problems and end
game positions of such unusual beauty
that they stand in field of their own.
Among the leaders of this group were
Rinck, Troitski and Kubbel and IL is
with pleasure therefore that in giving
few examples of these Russian mas
ters we are enabled to include a game
played by Kubbel
