Demanded by Revercomb
By the Associoied Press

A congressional investigation of
wartime conditions at the Lichfield
(England), soldiers prison was
urged today by Senator Revercomb
Republican, of West Virginia.
Senator Revercomb suggested that
the new Armed Services Committee
OF the Senate, as soon as it's men,
bership is chosen at the next Con-
gress, ought to consider an inquiry
into the Lichfield case from every
standpoint"
If officers and guards were
guilty OF the cruelties to soldier
prisoners which we are led to be-
Heve existed there, the penalties
assessed against the offenders are
too light" the Senator declared.
Senator Revercomb, a member of
the existing Senate Military Affairs
Committee, said he thought the $500
fine assessed by an Army court
martial against Col James A. Kill
ian, former commander of the
10th Reinforcement Depot at Lich-
field, was entirely out of keeping
with his conviction"

Constellation Planes
Returning 10 Service
With Safety Changes

Modified to eliminate fire hazards,
most of the 60 or so Consultations
temporarily grounded in July are
scheduled to return to regular pas
senger service this month under
pressure of heavy demand for seats
at home and abroad.
The big, 300-mile- hour trans
ports already are returning to sched-
uled runs in the Atlantic and Paci-
nc Pan American Airways, and their
second largest user, Trans World
Airline, will have minimum of
eight airborne by September 10. it
was announced.
Changes in the interest of safety
ordered by the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration have been made since
the grounding order in the shops of
the airlines and on the production
line OF the Lockheed company at
Burbank, Calf. CAA inspectors are
Issuing new airworthiness certificates
on the basis of compliance with reg
ulatlons drawn up after the fatal
crash of a Constellation under test
near Reading, Pa, last July.
Other Improvements.
TWA, which had flown Constella-
lions for more than 100000 miles
prior to the Reading accident with
out injury to passengers or crewmen,
announced it will improve upon the
CAA's safety regulations in several
respects. including the installation
OF fuel injection engines on all planes
before they are restored to passenger
service.
The airline plans to place four of
the modified Consultations in serv-
ice to Europe on September 10, and
tour more on transcontinental runs,
with the other eight now undergoing
changes to be added to the fleet at
the rate of about two week there
after. In addition, TWA is expecting
delivery of 13 new Consultations
from the Burbank factory this
month.
Meanwhile, Pan American put its
first Constellation back into service
a fortnight ago, and is building up
its fleet of % as rapidly as modifica-
tions can be completed and inspect
ed by CAA agents. Deliveries of up
to two a week are expected.
Most Changes Are Minor.
Most changes ordered by the CAA
are minor ones to cut down posi-
blllty of fire or smoke resulting from
faulty electrical circuits. along with
improvements to fire extinguisher
systems.
At the same time the Civil Aero
nauticS Board, through it's Safety
Bureau. is working on proposed in
dustry-Wide alterations to reduce
fire hazards to minimum on all
transports. AS in the
case of the Consultations, new
orders will be the result of consul
tations between manufacturers. op-
orators and Federal experts, on such
as fire-resiStant hy-
draulic fluids, separation of electrical
from fluid lines, installation of
smoke detectors and the like.
The proposed program, it was
said, will allow operators ample
time to install the improvements
before grounding orders would be
issued for noncompliance.

Gaqqed on Polish Affairs
BY the Associated Pres.

LONDON, Sept. A Foreign
Office official today said Britain has
assured Poland there would be no
further comments on her internal
affairs in news bulletins distributed
by the British Embassy in Warsaw.

threatened to arrest persons who
distributed news sheets containing
such criticism.

publication of an inaccurate state
ment in the British news bulletin.
Last June the Polish government
protested against the distribution to
Polish newspapers and periodicals
of the British Embassy news sheet
The Foreign Office spokesman said
the British assurance to end COM
ment on Polish internal affairs had
been given to avoid the arrest of
innocent persons"

Swears In "a Men
For N. P. Battalion

Headquarters and Headquarters
Detachment of a mobile Military
Police battalion of the District Ma
tional Guard was activated last
night with the swearing in or "a

The M. P. battalion, to be COM
manded by 1t. Col. George o. Weber,
will consist of % officers and Ais en-
listed men when brought to full
strength, the commanding officer
revealed.
The first members of the Head
quarters Detachment, which will
have 80 men at full strength, were
sworn in by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox,
commanding general of the District
National Guard Eleven officers hold
ing temporary National Guard ap-
pointments in the new battalion
were present.
Sergt. Schuyler w. Jackson, 26, of
2840 McGill terrace NV, a Silver
Star winner. was among the first to
join the M. P. battalion, to be desig-
mated as the 163d MPs.
Col. Weber said the battalion
would drill each week at the Armory
at Nineteenth and East Capital
streets as soon as the building was
vacated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, which now uses 1T
to store fingerprint records.
He expressed the hope that drills
might begin by October /, but FBI
officials said today they knew of no
plan to evacuate the building in the
near future. The weight of the
f1ngerprint records, it was pointed
out, requires strong floor to sHp-
port them, and Public Building Ad-
ministration authorities may have
difficulty in finding a suitable new
building.
Col. Weber, an infantry veteran
OF the 29th and 92d Divisions, said
military police were especially need
ed in the Nations Capital and would
be called upon in any emergency
as well as for patriotic celebrations.
The M. P. battalion will be part of
the District National Guard of
about 5000 men.

Jobs, Officials Reveal
BY Joseph Young
Stor Sioff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Sept. 4.-Withir
the next few years, approx
mately 9 out of every 10 male
employees in the Government will
be veterans, it was revealed to-
day by top Federal officials who
are here to address the 18th BIZ
ennial convention OF the Ma
tional Federation of Federal

The officials told this writer that

be reached lin the not too distant
future" Of the total Federal en-
ployment, the officials predicted
that veterans would comprise more
than IS per cent.
The large part of the IS per cent
nonveteran personnel, it was said
will be composed largely of female
secretaries. typists and stenogra-
pliers, holding positions that many
veterans either don't want or aren't
trained to perform.
Veterans will get five and ten
point preference in taking examina-
tionS for the thousands of perma
nent jobs in the Federal service that
soon will be available. At present
the Government is in the transition
period from a wartime war service
job basis to peacetime permanent
job status.
The officials stressed that this
does not mean that nonveteran
Government employees who have
permanent status will be ousted to
make room for the former GIs.
They explain it this way: AS far as
new jobs are concerned, they will
overwhelmingly go to veterans.
Thousands of job vacancies occur
yearly in the Federal service, by re-
tirements, deaths or designations.

jobs that are handled by men will
