Wave of Veterans Loyoffs Seen
Under Court Rule on Seniority

and does not believe the ruling
"is In harmony with the intent
of Congress when it enacted the
Selective Service Act
Mr.. Taylor said the Legion would
Immediately seek legislation which
will explicitly indicate to all the
original will of Congress, which was
to assure the veteran the right to
his old job when he returned from
service"
The Justice Department esti-
mated that Of the n cases now in
court and nearly TOO cases in tine
hands Of United States attorneys
for prosecution, approximately 100
cases involve the question of super
seniority.
Will Follow Court Ruling.
These cases will be dismissed or
dropped in accordance with the Su-
preme Court decision, a Justice De-
partment spokesman said.
Organized labor has been lined
up sohdly against the selective
service and Justice Department In
depreciation of re employment
rights. It was the CIO Marine and
shipbuilding Workers Union which
took the case to the Appeals Court
after Brooklyn Federal Court
ruled with MIR. Fishgold.
Employer associations generally
have asked for Qualification of the
most debated unemployment issue.
They have that Qualification now.
In its argument before the Su-
preme Court, the Justice Depart
ment contended that Congress in
tended veteran to have unlimited
right to a years unemployment at
his old job regardless of seniority.
Black Dissented In Decision.
The maritime union contended
such view would cause corYfiict
with union bargaining contracts
based on seniority and would upset
the whole fabric of industrial re-
lations."
Justice Black, In dissenting from
the majority opinion, contended
that the case should have been dis
missed because the union was not
an "aggrieved party" and therefore
was not entitled to appeal.
Justice Douglas. who wrote the
majority opinion. held that if Con-
gress had desired to enact that, so
long as there was work, no restored
veteran, regardless of seniority,
could be temporarily laid off during
the year following his restoration
when the Stacking of work required
a reduction Of forces, we are bound
to believe" that the lawmakers
would have said so in specific terms.
The majority opinion held that
Congress did not intend to sweep
aside the seniority system, but un-.
dertook to give the veteran protec-
ion within the framework of the
seniority system. plus a guarantee
against demotion or loss of q lob
without cause for q year.

The Supreme Court decision
that the Selective Service Act
does not give returning veterans
preferential or super" senior
ity in their prewar jobs will
start a wave of layoffs of vet
erans throughout the country
ranking selective service off,
cials predicted today.
Employers who have been COM
plying with Selective Service inter-
probation of unemployment rights
that veterans are entitled to their
jobs even II workers with great
er seniority must be laid off-now
will go back to adhering to union
seniority systems, these officials
contended.
They based their prediction on
what has been happening to veter-
ans in some plants since the Second
Circuit Court OF Appeals in New
York held that veterans were not
entitled to super-seniority. Veter-
ans, they reported, have been laid
off in accordance with union SEMI
ority systems, particularly, in De-
troit.
Most employers, ofIicials said,
however, have been abiding by the
selective service Interpretation while
waiting for the Supreme Court to
rule on a super seniority case in
volving Abraham Fishgold, a Brook
lyn welder, who was re-employed by
the Sullivan Drydock g. Repair Corp
but was laid of for nine days on the
basis of seniority when work slack
ened.
In 6-1 decision, the Supreme
Court ruled yesterday that a re-
turning serviceman steps back on
the seniority escalator" at the point
"he would have occupied had he
kept his position continuously during
the war" In other words, his time
in the armed forces counts toward
his seniority in a plant but he does
not rise TO the top Of the plants
seniority list.
The American Legion's legislative
director, John Thomas Taylor, COM
mented today that the Legion Is
very dissatisfied" with the decision

Cloak and Dagger" which opened
last night at the Earle, probably
is as aptly named as any motion pic
ture ever was. This is rare, old
cloak and dagger" stuff, full Of
mayhem and excitement, espionage
and counterespionage and with a
pretty girl spy for the hero tomearn

time adventures of our Office Of
Strategic Services, but it is doubt
full If even that CLOAK and dagger"

named after its nickname does.
There is a slight degree of i'm
plausibility injected when the film
ships a scientist with no espionage
training off to Switzerland to carry
on tricky bit of work and the de-
gree becomes even more than slight
when the young scientist, a type so
American as Gary Cooper, pops off

to speak the language, to continue
his chore. Still, a number of the

history at a Connecticut academy,
marrying the pretty daughter of a
Supreme Court justice and keeping
his dreams of a third world war to

an old Nazi henchman, released
from prison to be followed, traces
him and thus marks him for 2
melodramatic end.
Melodrama and ell, Mr.. Welles, as
both actor and director, has made
good suspense cinema out of this,

Welles is man who knows how to
use both camera and sound track

SO far that you are more conscious
