Move To Appeal
Veterans Job
Seniority Ruling

DETROIT, Jan. 31-UP)- The
Federal Government moved today to
appeal a Federal Court ruling that
veterans returning to jobs cannot
displace workers with greater senior
ity under union contracts.
Maurice Overriding, Assistant q.
s. District Attorney, said that his
office would file the appeal on be-
half Of George Dfoste, westpnaiia,
Mich, whose suit in a test case on
veterans superseniority was dismis-
sed yesterday by Federal Judge
Arthur Lederle.
Droste, In a case In which the
Wayne County Council of Veterans
of Foreign Wars and the CLIO United
Auto Workers Union interviewed as
interested parties, sought $500 from
the Nash Corporation.
He claimed it under unemployment
provisions of the Selectlve Service
Act.
Droste worked as a Gambler grinder
in the NaSh-Kelvinator plant at
Lansing before joining the Army.
When he returned, he went back
to the same job with added seniority
for his year of military service which
moved him up to No. As on the
plant list.
He was dropped from that job be-
cause there were less than As OPEN
ings in that classification and re-
turned to work at lower classified
ton. In the suit he sought to re-
cover the money he would have made
If he had kept the higher rated job
There Is nothing In the legis-
lative history of the '(Selective
Service) act that would justify
court in concluding that Congress
intended 10 upset the established
labor relations on the production
front by requiring that labor con-
tracts be construed to include pro-
visions for placing returned World
War III veterans in position at
the head of the seniority list"
Judge Lederle ruled.
The Judge declared that "the de-
PENDANT restored the plaintiff to his
position In accordance with the
union contract and that is all the
act requires"

Three Times An(
Out--New State
Liquor Ruling

LANSING, Jan. 81. - W.D - The
State Liquor Control Commissions
new "30-60-and out" policy be-
comes effective tomorrow.
Under the new rule, the commits
sion is launching a vigorous cam
paign to prevent selling and serving
of minors In bars and taverns.
To show it means business, the
commission has doubled the custo-
mary penalties against tavernkeep-
ers who fail to heed the law.
Starting today, the commission
will assess 30-day license suspen-
sions against bars for the first vio-
lation of the serving minors rule. A
second violation will bring 4 CO.
day suspension and third offense
will mean revocation of the bar
keeps license.
Up until now, the normal penalty
for first violation of the selling
to minors rule has been 15-day sus-
pensions or sometimes less.
Also effective tomorrow, the COM
mission has notified licensees to
remove all pinball or gambling ma
chimes from their premises. Includ-
ed in the order are pinball ma
chimes of the type on which a play
er may win merchandise, trade
checks or additional free games.
Coupled with the stiffened reg
ulations against serving or selling
minors, the commission has advised
ali licensees that they would do well
to forbid entrance to their estab-
lishments of all persons under 81
years Of age. Some communities
already have local ordinances to
that effect.
Commission enforcement officials
said the suggestion to bar all per-
sons under 81 from drinking estab-
nshments is offered because of the
realization that minors sometimes
enter taverns and then get their
drinks from someone else who does
the actual buying. .
If all persons under. n are BAN
ned, the tavernkeeper is less likely
to get into trouble for serving min.
ors, the commission advised.

Take Revised Fire Rates
Or Set Up Own Protection
Survey Committee Says

Inequality Of fire pro ction
charges for Wyandotte as compared
with those given Ecorse Township
areas was back in the news Tues
day, following a recommendation
that charges for Quietly limits be
revised.
Recommending that comparable
charges costs b. paid by areas be-
yond the city limits for fire calls
made by the Wyandotte DEPART
ment, the special committee APP
pointed by Mayor Louis W. Benin,
said that only a revision would
bring an end to the hardship i'm
posed on the residents of the city.
Headed by City Assessor Ed
ward w. Kane the committee
laid down the ultImatum that
IF such charges are deemed BY
the people of these outlying dis
trict to be exorbitant, then the
communities outside the limits of
the city should give some con-
SlderatlOn TO the establishment
Of their own fire department"
Cost of Wyandotters for fire pro-
lection is about SO per year for
each home and commercial build
ing the committee disclosed.
Working with Kane are Ira ].
Kreger, City Treasurer, Ford Wa
gar, City Clerk, and Herbert P.
Schendel. city attorney and mem
berS of the police and fire COM
mission.
The committee was set I'D to
study differences in fire protec-
ton charges after Councilman
Richard T. Kelly had revealed that
Wyandotters paid 20 times more
for fire protection on an assess
ment basis than did township
areas.
