Goodwill Industries
Plan 10 Train 2,250

A vocational training and place.
ment program to meet postwar needs
Of more than 2,250 handicapped men
and women is being planned by the
Goodwill Industries, Director James
G. Dulin, jr., disclosed today.
Anticipating that easy labor con-
ditions will create heavy demands
on the industries facilities, Mr..
Dulin revealed that 140 persons are
now working for Goodwill. Seventy
five were employed there a year ago.
He predicted sharp increase when
lame, aged and blind persons are
released from wartime jobs.
Wartime shortages have enabled
Goodwill Industries to find large
commercial markets for the output
of those trained workers suffering
from mental and physical defects
who could not find employment else
where.
Mr.. Dulin said local department
stores last Christmas stocked, for
the first time, dolls and chenille
rugs made by bedridden persons and
the active workers of the industries
shops. Next year, Mr.. Dulin said
costume jewelry and plastic will
be added.
Goodwill Industries, closely allied
with Vocational and Rehabilitation
Services, was established here 10
years ago through the efforts of the
Federation of Churches

Navy Reveals Plans
To Use Glass Armor
Hy the Associated Press.

~ thc AssoSldtcu FESSh.
Plastic body armor made of
laminated glass-cloth was ready for
combat use by Navy and Marine
assault troops poised to storm
japan, the Navy disclosed last night.
Experiments had shown the
armor to be effective against bullets
and fragments.
While these glass-cloth combat
jackets for ground troops got no
further in wartime than a prelirn-
mary test of Okinawa, the Navy
said, laminated nylon fax suits
were put into use by Navy and
Marine airmen for protection from
heavy antiaircraft fire over the
Japanese home islands before the
surrender.
The jackets of glass-cloth, called
doron, were described as lighter.
more pliable and more comfortable
than steel. although the Navy
acknowledged they "at present
have the disadvantage of being
bulky"
Weight Of the nylon fax suits
for airmen is slightly more than
lS pounds against % to 80 pounds
for the Hatfield suits Of manganese
steel used IN both. World Wars.
| The Naval Research Laboratory,
saying it is continuing experiments
to keep abreast Of future improve
ments in plastics, expressed belief
that advances In modern warfare
will increase the need for fragment
armor protection for both civilians

Veterans, Job Priority
Over Men With More
Seniority Is Denied
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 25.
Federal Judge Charles G. Briggle
held yesterday that reinstatement
of veterans in their old jobs is not
required if it would mean transfer,
demotion or discharge of non-
veteran employees with greater
seniority.
Judge Briggle said his 15-page
opinion was based on conclusions
without support of judicial prece-
dents"
The ruling was announced in a
petition for a declaratory judgment
filed by Olin Industries, Inc, of
East Alton, Ill.
Differs With Hershey.
Judge Briggle said he was unable
to accept the reasoning" of Mai.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective
Service director, that a returning
veteran is entitled to reinstatement
in his former position or one Of like
seniority, status and pay, even
though the reinstatement necessi-
tated the discharge of a nonveteran
with more seniority.
Indeed, the principle of absolute
priority for the veteran, as con-
tended for by the director of Selec-
tive Service, if carried to its logi-
cal conclusion, means that If suffl-
cient veterans return to man the
plant all must be employed and all
nonveterans discharged" Judge
Briggle held.
Four Veterans Involved.
The Olin employees directly in
volved were four veteran and four
|nonveteran workers. Three of the
veterans had been employed two
years before entering military serv-
ice, and in their cases Judge Brig
gle ruled that their jobs were tenn
porary because they were created
during the 1939-1945 war period.
The veterans had contended that
under the Selective Service Act they
were entitled to be re-employed in
the jobs they left to enter military
service, regardless of seniority and
workers displaced.
In the case of the fourth veteran,
Judge Briggle held that while it
involved a permanent job it would
be unreasonable in view of the
employers changed condition" to
require his reinstatement and the
displacement of his former super
visor.

Senate Fight Promised
On Bill 10 Fix Waqe
Minimum al IS Cents
Ey the Associated Press,

LAG AoouCiAteu FIeSS.
The recommendation of a 25-
cent boost in minimum hourly
wages was promised rough going
today by Senate foes.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
louisiana aSSailed it as "inf1ationary
and certain to strike down the entire
Stabilization program"
He told reporters he would oppose
the measure vigorously as soon as it
came to the Senate floor, currently
monopolized by the FEPC flibuster
Senator Elender is a member of
the Senate Labor Committee which
Yesterday approved raising the
hourly wage floor from 40 to IS cents
an hour, as requested by President
Truman. The legislation also calls
for an increase to 10 cents after two
years and second boost to rs at the
end Of four years.
IS Cents Rejected.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
who teamed with Senator Ellender
in futile effort to hold the increase
to IS cents within the committee,
said their efforts will be renewed
when the measure comes up for de-
bate. The committee rejected the
5S-cent minimum by a 11-to-7 vote
There is certain to be long fight
on this" Senator Taft said in an
interview. There will be many
amendments and exemptions Of
fered."
Chairman Murray and Senator
Pepper, Democrat, of Florida had a
different idea. They predicted Sen
ate passage of the measure.
Fears Price Spiral.
"This is certain to cause an up
ward spiral in prices" Senator FL
lender said. IF a floor sweeper in
a cotton mill now gets so cents an
hour 1t would raise him to 65 now
and IS cents later. The skilled man
above him, who is getting rs cents
now, will want a dollar. The whole
wage structure would move upward"
He called the measure Glass leg
islation" that will raise living costs
for teachers, people who live on pen
sions, State and municipal Govern
ment workers and many others.
Senator Pepper, author of the
measure, said it would benefit only
the lowest wage groups" because
all except a few of the more than
10000, 900 workers covered by the
wage.hour law, now receive more
than the proposed new minimum.

Illinois Case Conflicts
With ; Other Decisions

A national selective service spokes-
man charged today that the Spring
field decision was directly in con-
f1ict" with three Federal court de-
cisions already handed down on the
same issues involved.
Col. Emmett G. Solomon, chief of
the selective service veterans per-
sonnel division, which handles re-
employment problems, said Judge
Briggle's decision undoubtedly will
be appealed"
THE Illinois court lays stress on
the point that jobs created by war
time expansion were not permanent" "
Col. Solomon said. HE won't find
the word permanent anywhere in
the statute protecting veterans re-
employment. The statute says the
veteran must have held an other
than temporary job. We think there
is a wide range of jobs between per-
manent and temporary"
Col. Solomon pointed out re-
cent decision by a Federal District
Court in California held that en-
ployment arising from wartime ex-
pansion was other than temporary
unless the employees were specifi-
cally on notice that their jobs were
temporary when they went to work.
On the question of a veteran
|displacing nonveteran, Col. Sol
ONION pointed out Federal District
Courts in Ohio and Brooklyn both
had supported the Selective Service
Interpretation that the veteran is
entitled to get his old job back,
regardless of the seniority of the
person who held the job while the
veteran was at war.
The Justice Department an
nounced this week that it took the
same position and plans to apply
for permission to enter the Brook
lyn caSe-now on appeal to the
Second Circuit Court of Appeals
as a friend of the court"
