100000 Jobs Sought
For Veterans by USES
In District, 4 States

A campaign to uncover. at least
300, 600 job opportunities for vet
Grams and displaced war workers il,
the District and four neighboring
States has been launched by the
United States Employment Service,
Henry E. Treide, USES regional d.
rector, announced today.
Mr. Treide described the job open
ings now on file in the 1853 USES
offices of the District, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and North
Carolina as inadequate both in
number and quality"
The USES, he said, hopes to list
every job opportunity In the region
so that veterans and war workers
coming to the USES offices to file for
unemployment compensation may be
promptly referred to jobs.
Employer contact teams from the
USES, which have been surveying
major industries since the first of
the year, will start . round OF re-
visits with the idea OF developing
job openings, Mr.. Treide said.
While the prospects for jobs in
most of this region are good when
reconversion is well advanced, Mr..
Treide said, USES ofices at present
are faced with a serious shortage Of
jobs and flood Of job applicants
many of them idle since their dis
charge from service or since can
collation. of war contracts.
In the District, he added, there
were ], 200 persons on the unemploy-
ment compensation rolls before WI
day. This rose to more than 5000
In January with 1,549 initial claims
and 1916 continuing claims. At the
same time. USES files here showed
that 11,000 persons were seeking

School Lunch Fund,
Approved BY House,
Bars Propaganda
By the A,soeict,d Pies.

Fifty million dollars q year from
Uncle Sam for school lunches. but
not a red cent for spinach propa-
ganda.
That's the ticket the House wrote
late yesterday In voting to make
permanent the school lunch program
financed partly by Federal funds.
Now the program--and any attempt
to revive the spinach issue Is up
to the Senate.
The House beat down the spinach
propaganda threat by eliminating
from the bill a provision which
would have provided additional
funds for the Office Of Education
to conduct instruction In good nu-
trition-such as why school chill
dren should eat carrots and spinach.
Senate Approval Seen.
How the Senate stands on spinach
remains to be seen, but leaders of
the powerful farm bloc there talked
OF speedy approval Of the lunch
program-with the Federal ante
boosted to Sis 900 900. They claim
to be the daddy OF the program" /"
Senators Ellender, Democrat, Of
Louisiana and Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia said they have substitute
bill ready for the one approved by
the House, 275-101, after three days
[of debate.
"We1l just knock out all of the
House bill except the title and then
send the Senate bill, which is q bet
ter one, back to them," Senator Ell
lender told a reporter.
Senator Russell, who has been
winning Senate approval of school
lunch funds for 10 years, said In an
interview he anticipated no difIiculty
in winning approval of permanent
legislation.
Races to Benefit Alike.
Leaders OF the Senate farm bloc,
many of them Southerners, antici-
pated no difficulty with the anti
discrimination provision written In
to the House bill Sponsored by
Representative Powell, Democrat, of
New York, Negro, it specifies that
white and Negro children benefit
alike under the program.
I'VE have no objection to pro-
viding funds for Negro school chill
dren, said Senator Bankhead, Demo-
crat, Of Alabama. we have done
that in past programs. All we are
opposed to is attempts to inter-
mingle the races"
In addition to authorizing $780,
000, 600 each year, the Senate sub.
stitute would provide an additional
$15, ,000, 900 annually for the ONCE
of Education to aid the lunch pro-
gram by providing facilities and fur
nishing nutrition education.
The House eliminated this Sec
tion after arguments that 1t might
bring Washington interference with
State controls over schools.
