Your GI Rights
BY DOUGLASS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent

Wa&fftngtOn, June A-tNEAD-- Veterans organizations are trying hard to get so.called 'super-sen. iority" made into law. They are trying to get Congress to include it in the new draft act. which if passed will follow the present tenn. porary selective service law, which expires July l.
 But 1t is doubtful if Congress will do this. On May N the Supreme Court held that sliper.seniority. as claimed by National Selective Serv- Ice. did not exist. The court held that veteran had a right to the seniority he had before he vent into the service, plus the time he had in service and no more. If man had been in a Job two years. was drafted and spent three years in the Army when he got back he had five years seniority. accord ing to the Supreme Court. And further, the decision holds. fl after the man got his job back, there was 6 need to lay off several employees, the veteran could be laid off before a non.veteran who had more senority. National Selective Service held that every non.veteran would love to be laid off before veteran regardless of relative sen- iority.
 Many congressmen are saying that most veterans don't want su. per-seniorfty rights. They agree with the Supreme Court ln saying that h vas not the intent of Con. gress to give them this right in the original Selective Service Act of i04O.
 VERY FEW VETS AFFECTED
 As far as veterans go, the impof- tant thing is that the whole dispute actually affects only a handful Of ex-servicemen. More than % per cent of all servicenen didn't have any job rights because they didn't have jobs before they vent into the service. Of the rest, 1t is estimated that less than % per cent had rec employment rights in industry.
 On top of that. 1t is agreed that very few industrial firms will have reason to cut their working staffs in the next few years. The ques- ton of seniority arises only in cas- es where employees must be laid off.
 Thus the whole question of super seniority is reduced to a theoretical matter which could affect only . tiny fraction of all vets.
 There have been charges that employers are abusing the govern ment's on.the-job training program for veterans. The Veterans Admin istration and state boards Of educa- ton have discovered several in- stances in which company officials were using the program to get cheap help. victimixing the veteran. In cases where abuses have been discovered. the programs have been stopped immediately.
 Most firms, however. which have these training programs in opera ton are sincerely trying to teach the veteran an occupation which will enable him to earn 8 good ltv- ing and which will give him a rea- sonable chance for advancement. In order to give these firms a yard- stick to measure their programs by, the Retraining and Re-em- ployment Administration offers the following general guides:
 Be certain that the training courses will give the veterans com plete preparation for a useful job.
 Do not set up a training pro- gram for veterans unless there IS certainty they can he placed after they have finished their training. either where they are to be trained or at another plant.

Reports That BiIbo
Plans 10 Resign Soon.
Heard on Capitol Hill
BY Robert K. Walsh

Reports that Senator Bilbo,
Democrat, Of Mississippi, will not
return to the Senate In January
because Of Iii health were voiced
at the Capitol today.
A member Of d senate committee
concerned with tho prospective Rs
publican effort to prevent Senator
Bibo from taking his seat on Janu-
ary 3 said Mississippi State officials
believe Senator Rilbo may resign be-
fore the opening Of the Eighthieth
Congress because OF bis physical
condition!
Rankin Might BE Appointed.
The Governor then would appoint
q successor, who, according to these
reports, might be Representative
Rankin, also q Democrat.
Meanwhile, a Senate War Inves-
tigating subcommittee continued It's
inquiry into Senator Bilbo's alleged
war contract transactions at an-
other closed session, attended by
Senator Mead, Democrat, Of New
York, the subcommittee chairman,
and Senator Ferguson, Republican,
Of Michigan.
After a two-and-a-half hour ses-
sion both the Senators and com.
mittee council would say only that
this was an executive session.
They refused to say whether addi-
tional closed sessions would be held
or whether the information they
have accumulated will be made
public.
Although committee spokesmen
refused to reveal whoce testimony
was taken behind closed doors to-
day, committee investigator, Har-
old Lane, was present at the execu-
tive session and presumably made
. report on his findings.
Army Officials Questioned.
The subcommittee has said earlier
that 1t expected to receive testimony
this morning bearing directly on
previously published complaints that
Senator Bilbo received financial
contributions from war contracts.
The subcommittee yesterday ques-
toned two War Department officials,
Col. Douglas j. Mckay. retired, spe-
cial assistant to the Chief Of Engi-
neers, and Col. j. L. Person, of the
Engineer Corps and repeatedly re-
quested them to return within few
days with additional data on con-
struction OF the fields in Mississippi
The sudden recess taken by the
subcommittee yesterday noon does
not mean the inquiry has begged
down, members maintained. One
of the reasons, they explained. was
that several scheduled witnesses
from Mississippi have been delayed
by inciement weather for flying.
