now twice as strong as it vas before the war, despite the fact that scout. Ing was suppressed" pr. west ex. piained that scouting went under. ground" during the war.
 Az Asa example, he said that the membership of the Boy Scout troops ln France has doubled since before the war. with aii its prublems, France has managed to ofeanise to the extent that they have asked that the world Jainbofee be held in that Ooui1tFy in the Summer of iDz7."
 Until interrupted by the war, World Jafnborees were held every four years. The last one was held In Holland in 1887, he eaid. The one scheduled for France In 1p47 will be held about co miles from Paris. The country has already be. gun preparing the site for the Jamboree.

Almost all Cub Scouts join the Boy Scouts when they become of age.
 Dr. West was hopeful that the Mattatuck Council would be able to continue, it's fine record of helping boys. Perhaps it will find the fl. naneial support for aai even greater campaigning program" he said.
 Personal Experiences Vital
 Camping is Important to boys. Here they find the personal ex- periences, thrills and adventures that nourish their own appraisal of the Boy Scout movement" Dr. West explained. Boys aren't inter- ested in whatthey hear or read about scouting, he said. They be- come "keen" on scouting only when their own interests are aroused through personal experiences. One of the best methods to awaken this keenness in the boy": is through camping. It is here that he ob- tains the full benefit of the niove- ment through an outdoor life which is entirely different from what the average boy experiences lu klAh IlI1llC VI &CklOOAs
 Now that he is Chief Scout. Dr. West said that he Is no longer inc vOlved in the executive and admin istrative ends of scouting. He said that he did not know exactly what was planned for scouting in the future, but he was sure that the scout program would continue to grow as long as it is able to inter- pret its program to boys so that they desire to become scouts. we have done so for 36 years and are doing so today" he added.
 Interest in the scouting move- ment has been international. Dr. West disclosed that he had recent ly attended the first meeting of the international committee on scout ing to be- held since i03o Tt was gratifying to see that even in the countries conquered by Hitler scout- ing survived" the Chief Scout re- vealed.

Job Discrimination
BY War, Navy Against
Veterans Charged

Civilian branches of the Army
and Navy were accused today by the
American Legion of discriminating
against ex-servicemen In interpreta-
tion OF the law giving veterans pref
erence in employment.
Ralph H. LAYERS, director of the
Legfon's employment division, de-
clared he had received more than
200 complaints of discrimination and
that he would ask the Secretaries of
War and Navy to rectify the injus-
tice.
Says Classification Reduced.
Gases are found wherein veterans
who have been employed by these
departments for years and who have
carried excellent ratings suddenly
find themselves with an unexplained
inferior classification" Mr.. LAYERS
said. THUS when the number of
employees of these Federal stats are
reduced in size, those veterans
against whom there has been dis
elimination are the first to be dis
missed"
Among the places named where
such discrimination allegedly is
lpracticed was the Washington Naval
Gun Factory. Personnel has been
reduced there from 1925 to 13,472
since last August Is, and the reduc-
ton is continuing. A spokesman at
the factory said that during the
same period 2,024 were hired, Of
whom l,247 were veterans.
Short Notice Charged.
Mr.. LAYERS said another violation
of the Veterans Preference Act was
in giving men only five or ten days
notice of termination of employment
and then placing them on leave
status.
This is a direct infraction of civil
service regulations, which provide
that a veteran is entitled to 30
calendar days of notice before relief
from employment, and to charge
that period against veterans termi-
nal leave is as unjust as it is un-
lawful" he declared.
Government agencies, he added,
are also failing to return veterans
to employment, although civil service
has upheld their appeals.
