chief of the homicide squad, to the
permanent grade of lieutenant. He
will remain in his present post.

transferred from the sixth precinct to
the third precinct, but temporarily

VETERANS SEEKING JOBS
DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT
(Riverside Daily Press)

(Riverside Daily Press)
While most employers are welcoming
veterans back to their old jobs, more
than 29OOO discharged servicemen who
were able 20 work and who had applied
for work, were unemployed during the
last week reported. The Orange Daily
News directs attention to this fact and
points out that these men are receiving
doles under the G. l. Bill Of Rights
1t is probable the ajorty of these
unemployed veterans were young men
who left schools and colleges to enter
the service and who therefore had no
preWar jobs to come back to. There are
several million men in Uncle Sans
armed forces who are in this category
and certainly they have just as much
moral right to a job and an opportunity
to establish themselves in civilian life as
older men who left the trades and pro
feSSiOnS to enter the services.
Resistance to opening up job oppOr-
tunities for returning veterans, at least
in some of the major industries, stems
from union leaders, according to the
News, which reports as follows on the
situation in the autOmOtiVe industry:
"The autOmotive business was hope
the 100000 Jobs they previously held
but the AFL and CIO challenge t h . t
suggestion. They insist that priority be
given to employees now on the job. This
means that the 100000 persons work
ing for the industry during the war
many as war workers-Will have legal
claims to the 100000 Jobs expected to
be available. Only veterans who worked
in the industry before the war will have
much of chance for the Jobs"
The War Production board, in re-
Spouse to union protests, is said to have
issued a confidential memorandum ad-
vising the automotive industry that its
plan to hire veterans might tend to IN
crease labor turnover, undermine the
seniority system and otherwise disturb
labor relations.
If true, that is an amazing policy
and one that certainly doesn't measure
up to the promises made our servicemen
at the wars outset. Any decent approach
to this problem will assume that men
who risked their lives for their country
will be entitled to at least equal Senior
ity" with those who stayed at home.
Imperial Valley press., 1945-07-15

ment must be created to put the
people on their feet, for if the COM
munities have not the capacity to

Dr. Tsiang believes Jnat cOmmu-
nicatiOns must be given the high
est priority in the work of rehabili-
tatiOn. Unless Chinas ruined SyS-
tenn OF communications is speedily

everything would be reduced to a

ices could not be distributed even
If made available.
Dr. Tsiang said present plans call
