will be launched on April II with
S1,300,0O0 as the goal.
Anything that gives anybody
the notion that we are hypocrites,
that our own house is in disorder,
that we don't give minorities a
square deal at home, but plead

A violent protest to the civil serv-

Foreign Wars charges that veter-
ans returning to their federal gov
ernment jobs are being bypassed in
promotions in favor of personnel
who remained in service during the
war years.
Stern warnings are being issued
to vets to beware of high pressure
real estate groups and black mar
ket operations in homes. Alarming
evidence showing how vets are be-
ing thoroughly fleeced by these
smooth takers" is being uncover
ed daily.
Vets organizations are continu-
ing the campaign to eliminate or
revise the portions of the new Form
81 government job application
form) which pertain to grade or
rank gained in the armed forces.
Despite the defense of the "rank"
questions by the civil service COM
mission, the protests by the organl-
cations, which say that the ques-
tions are prejudicial and unwar-
ranted, continue unabated.
Civil service cracked down on
USES in the District of Columbia
for maintaining a segregated inter
view unit in its D. c. offices. Civil
service ordered the employment
agency to cease and desist from this
procedure Immediately.
OPA has published pamphlet
entitled, Dear Mr.. Veteran which
is literally worth its weight in gold
to vets. The little booklet gives the
inside story Of how vets can be gyp-

should read it. The pamphlet can be

such phrases as "cruel ard I'M

against him. The court also de-
cided that IS forms of punishment
