even though non-veterans doing
the same work were not.
Navy officials explained that
within each competitive level
there are three groups of en-
pleyees: permanent employees,
employees with time limitation
(such- as war, service) but not
specifically limited to one year or
less; and employees limited to
one year or less and non-citizens
AS is stipulated in Civil Serv-
ice regulations, veterans with
status of permanent employees
were retained at the sam elevel
OF, pay. If veterans appointments
were war service, they are re-
tanned until others in competition
with them in lower subgroups are
gone. Even then they can replace
an employee in a lower subgroup
in another job which they (the
veterans) are qualified to fill -
Within each group there are
four subgroups: the veteran with
efficiency rating of good" or bet
ter; the non-veteran with effici-
ency rating of good" or better;
the veteran with efficiency rating
of less than good; and the nom
veteran with efficiency of less
than good.
All "B-l" employees-veterans
with War-service appointments
have been offered jobs on the
base when their own were elm
inated. The "a veterans included
in the 428 released Friday, all
have B-3 ratings-meaning time
limited to one year or less and
with less than good efficiency
ratings.
Veterans were given preference
even in temporary appointments
those minus any civil service
status-and out of 90 employed
last May, 70 veterans were hired.
Civil service regulations declare
that temporary employees must
be released first when reduction
of force is necessary, hence all of
these were separated in the re-
duction.

HONOLULU. - Lena Ualani
Waialeale, youngest lei seller at
the Honolulu pier, looked toward
the singers on the platform above
and said to herself: ''Someday |,
too, want to be up there singing
greeting the, ships as they arrive
and singing Aloha De- as they
leave"
And then one day, as she strad-
died the branches of a mango
tree in her aunt's frontyard-
with her hands full of fruit and
a sweet Hawaiian melody pour
ing forth from her throat, man
by the name of Marion Mulrony
walked by. He listened, then CALI
ed to. the girl and asked if she
would like to sing on the radio.
In those days radio was new
and. the shy young tomboy was
afraid. But she took her ukelele
and went to the station for ten
minute program. Before her time
was up, telephones were ringing
and requests were coming in for
more and more encores. Lena
sang-not for ten minutes; not
Just for the hour during which
she filled the radio listeners re-
quests. "Hawaii's Nightingale"
still is singing today-in a voice
which has changed little in the
quarter century since that first
radio performance.
Her Parents Sang
Born in Honolulu some forty
years ago, Lena was one of SIX
children. Her mother and father
both were singers. A natural
lyrical soprano, Lena never has
had a lesson. God gave me my
voice" vows this wife of a for
mer Honolulu detective.
Pure Hawaiian, heavy set, with
brown eyes and black hair cut IN
a feathered bob, Lena Machado
learned Hawaiian folklore from
her grandparents.
"In the old days, the fatter
singer was, the more apt she was
to be hired" unused Mrs. Macha-
do. Money never was thrown at
entertainers in those days. A man
would place a coin in his mouth
and 60 up to the girl he wished
to see dance-and then kiss her. "
Popular With Tourists
It is an old peacetime custom
in Honolulu for the Royal Ha-
waiian Band and chorus to play
and sing Island songs as a sere-
made to ships entering and leav-
ing the harbor. To many thous-
adns of visitors the clear bell-llke
singing of the girl with the gold
en- voice" is one of the most
beautiful memories they retain.
And, when ships are mainland
bound again, and the passengers
are leaning over the ratings for
last look at the Island, it often
has been her poignant singing of
'"Alola Oe"-Farewen to Thee
which has brought tears to their
eyes.
Lena has done much to bring
a little happiness to servicemen
in hospitals on all the Islands.
She has sung also for the lepers
on Molokai. Covering half lle
table top in her living room is a !
very large koa bowl with silver
inset inscribed: aloha TO our
