EDITORIAL
SOLDIER, IT'S STILL
The VETS JOB

Opportunity coming to most
people is often left up to the in
dividual to recognize regardless
of its shape, form or fashion. The
liberty of citing the importance
OF this opportunity is taken as
responsibility.
Needless as it is to reiterat tie
the cost of World War II in hu.
man life, suffering and destruc-
ton, We find ourselves now wait
ing to share in those things for
which the war was fought Let
them be called spoils of victory.
Ironically enough they become
just that when war must be
waged to secure for a people the
equal right of opportunity.
Never before in the past 50
years has there been such far
reaching and broad opportunity
for education and vocational re-
Mobilization to the race as is Of
fered TO its veterans through the
Seryicemen's Reimbursement Act OF
1910. Not overlooking those gains
made during the war; Of better
jobs, better homes and national
recognition of the ability and
skills of a race, ii must be said
that these in themselves were
to the degree that can be fur
Their aided by additional educa-
ton.
Winning the war depended ON
him and the future of a race
can depend on his good judg-
ment. Yes, it's still the veteran
who, confronted by the plight OF
things at home. uses this opDor
tunity to aid in building stronger
unity and background from which
to work.
Importance and emphasis placed
on the Gil Bill of Rights, as it is
better known, implies its value to
the nation. To 100000 Ameri-
cans it is opportunity knocking
at every veterans door. Veterans
must be made to realize that
though there are many benefits
from this bill, that of education
may be the initial benefit in his
life.
Accept all benefits earned by
you. They are yours. Ask your
vet what his plans are. Eight
million servicemen have this
same opportunity.

why pick on us?"
Commissioner Young and Mr..
West explained that persons retired
from Federal Government service do
not get increases in retirement pay
in accord with pay boosts for active
employees, but Chief Murphy and
others argued that while some re-
tired police and firemen are able to
find later private employment, many
cannot. They argued also that the
increased cost of living affect the
retired man the same as those still
working.
Amendment to Be Offered.
Because of technicalities involved,
Corporation Counsel West was di-
rected to prepare the limiting
amendment, as to pensioners, to be
offered in the House Monday.
Mr.. Hebert said the amendment
would allow pension increases, gen.
orally speaking, only to retired men
who are disabled and unable to
obtain private employment" In
addition, he said, the Commissioners
would be given authority and direc-
tions to safeguard the pension fund
so that pensioners able to work

for the purpose of drawing higher
pensions.
