 employees with much longer senior ity when they return from the war.
 As soon as officials of the major veterans organizations read Bid dle's instructions they charged he had virtually scuttled all reem- ployment rights of veterans.
 Omar B. Ketchum, National Legislative Representative of Vet erans of Foreign War says: MT. Riddle is prejudiced against the ir- depreciation of the law rendered by the Selective Service System. MT. Riddle is saying that he seriously doubts whether returning veterans of World War II have any such re- employment rights as interpreted by the Selective Service System.
 MT. Riddle suggests that vet erans who are not satisfied with representation which U. s. attor- neys are obligated to give under his instructions, should avail themselves of the services of private counsel. This alone indicates the Justice De- partment is not optimistic that they will be able to win many cases
 In stronger language, Colonel John Thomas Taylor, American Le- zion official, charges Riddle with "a shoddy effort to evade the will of Congress and betray the returning veteran who had re-employments guaranteed him when he went away to war. MT. Biddle's instructions to U. s. Attorneys is one of a long series of bureaucratic attempts to welsh on the Governments job promises to veterans"
 SENIORITY PROBLEM
 The whole question of the in- depreciation of veterans re-employ- ment rights has been growing hot ter as more men have been dis charged from the service, and

 The Chemical Warfare Services magnesium incendiaries produced by Factory P" played large part in the deefat of Germany for Nazi Field Marshal Won Runstedt him. self is quoted as saying that Allied air power was the prime factor in the defeat of Germany. The thous- ands of fire bombs dropped on Ger many's largest industrial targets which spread vast conflag grations for miles around disabling German war industries, had no small part in the collapse of the Nazi machine.
 Reports from Japan in the last few months tell of fires raging in Tokyo Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe after visits by huge fleets of B-29 Superfortresses, indicating that Tokyo will suffer an even worse fate than Berlin.
 In winning this Army Navy honor, all workers who were with the com- pany on the date of the announce ment of the award from Washington will be eligible to wear the 'E" pin which distinguishes war worker of the first class.

out to be sentimental. When there may be 8 backlog of hundred other wounded men waiting on stretchers outside the operating room, an Army nurse can't stand by soldiers cot and hold his hand. But often at the end of busy day she will recall 8 soldiers smile and his whispered word of thanks and her efforts will seem worthwhile.
 There is an urgent need for more nurses in the Army Nurse Corps. The Army has appealed to civilian registered nurses under 45 years of age to volunteer for service with the Nurse Corps. They can secure full information about the opportu- mites in the corps by visiting any Red Cross Procurement Office or by writing to the Surgeon General, U. s. Army Washington 25, D. c.

Army nursing in field hospital is arduous work because there is no room in 8 mobile unit for many of the labor-saving devices that are at hand in permanent hospitals.
 If a limb has to be raised in a tent hospital ward, there's no pulley to lift it. The nurse usually folds a blanket and stuffs it under the pa tient's knee. Moreover, army cots are much lower than hospital beds, and bending over cots is backbreak- ing labor.
 But there is a reward for such labor that more than compensates for the difficulties of nursing in thel field. No patients are more ap- preciative of nursing attention than wounded men in the field No pa- tients are more deserving of such attention.
 An Army nurse can't take time

LegisLatiue
 Notes

Waterbury's assessors bill nam- ing one chief assessor to the local office at $7,5O0 annually, is expect edu to be starred for action in the Senate today after passage in the House last week.
 The bill, presented by the admin istration, is compromise bill
 drawn up in many features hy local Republican leaders. It is i'- ported that Aldro Jenks memb,l of the state tax commissioner :; office and instructor at the Un.- versity of Texas will be given tie $7,5OO local post. MT. Jenks con- ferred with local authorities he"e last Friday.
 The bill of Rep. Daniel J. Ma haney seeking $l2,O00 for repairs to the Waterbury Armory was fav- orably reported to the House yes terday and is expected to meet with successful passage.
 The city's charter change bill, whereby certain employees whose salaries are now fixed by charter will receive increases, is expected to be raised-up from the bottom of the House calendar soon and likely will be passed. The bill met with the misfortune of being presented in the midst of a cities and bor- oughs committe controversy where by all such bills were automatically showed to the bottom of the cai- endar at the time.
 Nothing further on the court pa tronage situation was apparent at early press time except what has already bene reported on in The Democrat. However, the te nsion was apparent among all members of the Legislature as to the out come. Possi bility of all but the judgeships being dumped into the lap of the governor was foreseen.
 Sen. Patrick Wallace is chani- pioning the cause for qpick action on the patronage to remove some of the onus of disrespect already saddled upon many legislators be- cause of this sessions procrastina- . tion and delay. Squabbles are not confined solely to those between Democrats and COP members but are sen in ra-party caucuses as well.

 The committee approved by voice vote a surprise motion by Rep. James Demengeaux, D.. La, to dis miss the contempt charge and to re- call Deutsch later to resume his testimony on conditions in veterans hopitals.
 Deutsch was cited for contempt earlier this month because he re- fused to disclose the names of vet erans administration officials who had told him that patients in cet- erans hospitals received poor care.

The Army Kno1us AM The AnslDers--Any Questions?

Q. k it possible for mother re- ceiving an allotment from her son. who Is an officer, to conduct small business to help pay expenses with out losing the allotment?
 T. Y, Burlington
 A. The allotment authorized by an officer is entirely from his pay and it is not necessary that the person receiving it be dependent. However, if your son is a single man and is drawing rental and subsist- ence as an officer with dependents, which is a greater amount than that paid a single man without de- pendents, he must certify on his pay vouchers that the allotment he is sending you is the chief source of your income. If the income from your business was to bring in a greater amount than the allotment, the officer should be so advised.
 Q. I receive S37 Family Allow ance from my son. I live with 8 married daughter but she cannot afford to support me and I have no other income. Would I be entitled to any more Government allow ance? L. A., Woonsocket, R. I.
 A. If you are dependent upon the soldier for chief support you would be entitled to $500O instead of s37. Necessary forms and detailed information may be obtained from Personal Affairs Branch, First Serv- ice Command, Boston, Mass.
 O. have a son in the service He is married and has one child. l would like to know if I am entitled to Family Allowance?
 A. L. M, New Bedford.
 A. Family Allowance is paid to the parent of soldier when the fact of dependency is established and consent of the soldier obtained. Such payment would in no way af- feet the amount payable to his wife and child. The soldier would simply contribute $5 month in addition to the $22 he now gives for his wife and child. If the soldier is in this country he should file application; if he is overseas, his dependent may file it.
 Q. My husband, who is to be in- ducted next week, has brought home form to be filled out by his adult dependents. His mother lives with us and is dependent upon him, but l am working. Does that mean that will not receive the Government allowance unless I give up my job?
 V. A., Taunton.
 A. No, it does not. A wife is en- titled to receive Family Allowance as long as the fact of relationship is established; she does not have to be dependent. It is required that a parent be dependent for at least a substantial degree of support and the form your husband has should be completed for her only.
 Q. My son was killed in action and has $10.000.00 insurance payable to me. have been notified that I will receive payment in monthly in- stallments on $8.00O.00 Why don't I receive it on the whole $10,0O0 .00; i; I hold certificate for the other $2,- 000.00 c. C., Brighton.
 A. It is suggested that you write to Veterans Administration, Insur- ance Division, Washington, D. C.. giving the number which appears on the s2000.00 certificate and request investigation.
