Veterans Job Center
Awaits Truman Action

A plan to make the Veterans In
formation Center the central point
for information on Government Jobs
awaited White House approval to-
day.
The proposal was approved by the
Civil Service Commission yesterday
and could have been put into effect
then, it was explained, but commits
sion officials wanted presidential
support to win the cooperation OF
all Government agencies.
Under the plan, all agencies would
submit lists of their vacancies at
regular intervals to commission rep
resentatives at the center.
Instead of rowing from one agency
to another in search of jobs, the
veterans would be told at the center
where vacancies existed and gen.
orally what qualifications were
needed for specific jobs.
Civil service representatives at the
center could interview the veterans
and send them to the most likely
openings, it was explained. Repre-
sentatives of other agencies also
would be invited to interview vet
Grams at the center.
While the commission now has two
representatives at the center, Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur S.
Flemming thought it might be neces-
sary to send more help for the ex-
pected increase in the work load.
The plan was worked out by Center
Director Waldron E. Leonard, the
Council of Personnel Administration
and the Civil Service Commission,

it ashore from the Drew Victory for
some men who described the boxes
as personal belongings" and per-
suaded him to store them in his
home.
The boxes were opened at the
