DAV Post Hits Job Form
Askinq Rank Of SerVicemen

Instead of the discriminatory
sections" of the new Civil Service
Commission form 81, inquiring into
enlisted or commissioned status of
veterans, the Interior Department
Post. Disabled American War Vet
Grams. wants a simple question as
to whether the applicant served in
the armed forces
The post suggests that these ques-
tions be asked: Il. Did you serve
in the armed forces? Answer yes
or no. Have you any service-con-
nected injury or wound? Answer
yes or no."
The effect of the present form, the
post declared, is to split the enlisted
personnel from those commissioned
and eventually to destroy any form
of veteran preference, a free gift
of the people of the United States
to those who had the honor and
privilege of serving the Republic
in the late war The post thinks
that these discriminatory sections
Of form 81 were originated on the
lower levels of the commission by
persons of subversive thought and
tendencies

Phone Company
Explains Need
For Higher Rate

According TO X. W. Emanuelson,
district manager for the company,
this would be the hTst increase in
local service rates for Minneapolis
In rs years. In 1899, however, rates
were substantially reduced. Mr..
EmanuslSon points out that since
1871 the number Of Minneapolis
telephones has more than doubled.
the area served at local rates has
been enlarged, and the service has
been greatly improved In speed and
overall quality.
Since VI Day the company has
spent II million dollars on new
construction In Minnesota and
service improvements now Sehsd-
uled will require the expenditure
Of 50 million dollars throughout the
state In the next few years.
The company states that while
Il has handled record volumes Of
business and has had n So per cent
increase In revenues compared with
1910, expenses Of providing Serv.
leo have risen 80 per cent over this
period.
Since 1910, the eompany'S payroll
In Minnesota has gone up i23 per
cent due TO higher wages and 10
an Increase Of 81 per cent In the
number Of people employed. Pay
rolls for the 1850 Northwestern
Bell workers In the state amount
10 about two-thIrds Of the cost Of
providing telephone service. En-
ployees Of the company In Mime.
apolia now number 1900.
Costs Of materials necessary TO
provide service have also increased
greatly. Typical Of these higher
costs are telephone poles which
have gone up IS per cent. copper
wire % per cent, and switchboards
80 per cent.
The company asserts that IT,
earnings have been inadequate for
many years. Even with the trs-
mendous amount Of business dur.
ing the war. earnings dropped
steadily and were lower than for
any previous period. Since the war,
earnings have declined still further
and are now at tho lowest level in
the eompany's history--lSss than
two cents annually on each dollar
Of plant Investment In Minnesota.
The district manager explains
that everything possible IL being
done 10 expand facilities 20 that
the service needs Of all customers
can BE- fully met. This objective
includes additions 10 both equip.
ment and telephone cables 20 that
installation requests can be met
promptly. These increased fncilI.
ties also are needed TO permit pro.
visions o private line service for
many usd now on party lines who
desire . GER grade Of service.

Grinning crookedly, Bilbo re-
torted: II sure did; it's true, you

Asked II he had advised horse
whipping certain eol0red persons,
he Equirmed: mo, what ] advo-
Gated was ridin' 'em out Of town

added, that he had proposed

any Of them indicated an intention
20 vote In the Democratic primary.
But he insisted that he meant vocal,
not physical violence.
Blaming all the trouble on "out-
side meddlers like the clio. PAC,
Walter Winchell, Drew Pearson, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of COlored People, and
the Civil Rights Committee" Bilbo
lisped:
"Sidney Hillman didn't give q
damn about the Negro or his fam
lily down here when he sent in
money. He was Just after political
control. That Kind Of organizer
oughta be rode out Of town on a
rail--and manufactured. too"
He admitted that he advised
every red-bloOded man In Missis-
sippi" 10 resort to any means--but
he said he specified legal means"
to keep eolored people from the
polls last July.
Insisting that colored people
could qualify 10 vote In the Demo
cratic primary, Bilbo said there
were two whole wings" Of the
Republican party from which they
could choose.
One faction IL the "so-called
Black and Tans," headed by Perry
Howard, national Republican com
mitteemAn, and the other the lilly.
whites" headed by George l.. Shell
don. former Governor Of Nebraska,
who has lived in Jackson for many
years.
Other witnesses had testified
that the cleavage between the two
wings IL the major reason why the
Republican party has not been able
20 put up candidates this year. The
BLACK and Tans" are officially
recognized by the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Sheldon, who testified in support
Of Bilbo, was asked II a Republican |
victory In l94s would mean that
the Black and Tans" would have
control Of appointments in Mis-
sissippi.
''only God and those who will he
IN power At that time can determine
that" said Sheldon.
After Bilbo completed his tes-
timony, Forrest Jackson, his coun.
sci, called several white political
leaders, most Of whom said they |
were political opponents of the |
Senator. They all testified that Bl.
