You mean that a group of lay
men drew up the rules tor a penal

No, Mr.. Huff drew them up. We
approved them,' Mr.. Driscoll said.
Refusing to express an opinion
on who should run the Jail, Mr..

GM Vets Are
Denied Paw

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 -
/ (LPA) - Fifty thousand vet
Grams who participated in the
General Motors strike last win
ter were denied readjustment
allowances by the Veterans Ad-
ministration here last week.
The decision reversed a rul-
ing by the VA agent in Mich
igan, who is final authority in
the state and who held that the
veterans were eligible for the
u n m ployment compensation.
The claims originally were de-
MED by the Michigan Unem-
Iployment Compensation Com
mission. Three weeks ago, Wal
ter Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers-CIO, Wis
tied Washington to appeal per-
sonally to Veterans Adminisra-
tor Bradley to approve the
claims
Will Continue Fight
In Detroit, Reuther said that
the union would continue its
fight for the benefits and would
appeal to the courts if neces-
sary. Charging that Bradley's
decision upholding the GIN ap-
peal places a premium on idle
ness" Reuther said that "GM
apparently opposes the idea of
government aid to returning
veterans in the form of $40 per
week readjustment allowances,
1t did not hesitate to
government aid to the
tune of $88,000,0O0
in excess profits tax refunds for
the first nine months of 1916"
Bradley told a conference of
state veterans affairs directors
that the present readjusment al
lowance provision of $40 week
for 50 weeks was wisely set but
said some veterans are drawing
compensation longer than nec-
essary."
He startled union leaders by
that a veteran should
take sub-standard job paying
no more nor less than the $50
because it gives the
veteran added job experience
and seniority.
