In an address prepared for the

New u. s. Job Forms
Indicate Preference
For Officers Over GIs

Former officers are better qualified
for high Government jobs than for
mer enlisted men, Harry B. Mitchell
president of the Civil Service Com
mission, said today.
His comment came after the first
form 81 was issued by the Civil
Service Commission This form,
with which job seekers apply for
Government jobs, requires the appli-
cant to say what rank he held when
he left the armed forces.
The new forms, 1000 900 of which
have been ordered by the Civil
Service Commission, with $500, ,O0C
others reserved at the Government
Printing Office for other agencies,
explain at one point that questions
about service schools attended in the
armed forces are asked "in order to
make the most effective placement
of war veterans"
Mr.. Mitchell said questions about
rank had not been asked before and
he didn't know why they were in
cluded this time. He assumed the
questions were included to give a
quicker indication of a mans quail
flcations.
On the assembled, or written ex-
aminations, he added, a former Off

World Bank 10 Make
Substantial Loans
This Year, vinson Say!
By the Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Mar. 19.-Delegates
to the international Monetary Con-
ference were homeward bound to-
day, hopeful that both the world
bank and world monetary fund as
organized here would be in opera
ton by fall.
Secretary Of the Treasury Vinson
forecast that the bank would have
made substantial loans, particu-
larly for the reconstruction of war;
shattered countries, by the end of
the year.
Other delegates estimated the
probable loans at $1,000 100000 to
81, 900 100000 by that time. They
foresaw such depleted nations as
Greece, Poland. Czechoslovakia,
Holland and China as early ap-
plicants, while South American
republics were expected to come in
quickly for development" loans
the upbuilding of industrially lag
ging nations.
Funds to Be Depleted Rapidly.
The world bank will quickly de-
plete its actual holdings of funds
subscribed by member nations, be-
cause only small percentages of the
total subscriptions will be called in
during the early stages of opera
ton.
The bank, therefore, expects to
float its own world bank bonds, ="
probably starting with test issues in
September or october. State and
Treasury Department aides here
predicted they would be sold like
hotcakes' to American investors, but
1t is now planned to float only small
offerings of perhaps 100000 900
each at the outset.
| Later, the issues of foreign ma
tions may be offered, with the world
bank guaranteeing them. The 81
member nations share the liability
for any default on loans made by
| the bank.
Assets May Exceed $4,000, ,O00, 900.
Ultimately, conference officials
predicted, As or SO nations will be
members of both bank and fund,
and capital assets of each may ex-
ceed $4,000, 100000.
| If all As of the Breton Woods sig
natories join up the banks assets
will be $9,100, 10000 and the funds
assets will be $8,800,O0O 900, but
Russia, New Zealand, Australia and
some others have not yet ratified
those 1914 agreements.
On the other hand, the former
enemy, Italy, has asked entry, as
have neutral Turkey, Lebanon and
Syria. None was a Breton Woods
signer.
| Major Questions Unsettled.
| Much remains to be done, despite
Mr.. Wilson's closing statement to
the Boards of Governors that the
twin economic agencies were now
living organisms" as a result of
the 10 days work here
! The question of whether Italy and
other enemy countries should be
admitted despite absence of peace
treaty is one issue that must be
taken up at the first meeting of the
executive directors in May. Italy's
old enemy, Greece, is violently op-
posed, but the United States wants
Italy to be admitted quickly--ob-
viously in order that other nations
