u. 5. Rehiriing
|0f Veterans Is
Being Studied
Committee Seeks
Equal Treatment in
Various Bureaus
BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG

A committee of IL Government
personnel directors has started work
to win equal treatment for veterans
by all Government departments, it
was learned today.
A spokesman for the Council of
Personnel Administration, which
formed the committee, explained
that some agencies are assuming q
moral responsibility" and giving
returning veterans more than their
legal right to unemployment. This
attitude, he said. results in promo
tions in some cases and retrainine
of veterans who need additional
preparation for their jobs.
Other agencies, however, the
council spokesman said, are bending
over backward to give the veterans
no more than they are entitled to by
the narrowest legal Interpretation of
their rights and there are some
which are reluctant" to replace
efficient war service appointees with
veterans returning to their old jobs
Some agencies, he said, are SLOW to
carry out" the provisions of the law
Will Deal With Complaints.
In addition to working out a uni
form policy for the treatment of
veterans in all agencies, the council
spokesman explained, the commit
tee plans to figure out methods OF
dealing with specific complaints of
veterans.
The council spokesman cited the
problem of men returning to find
their old jobs abolished or so
changed that they are no longer
qualified, their old agencies gone
or their reinstatement delayed for
weeks or months.
He also disclosed that the council
is now working on these two prob
lens:
Several hundred servicemen now
serving in Europe would be willing
to remain there as civilians, working
with the military government, but
are refusing to do so for fear they
would lose their unemployment
rights to Government jobs in. this
country.
Although recent legislation makes
it possible for men to work for the
Government while they are still
drawing terminal leave pay, they
don't get their certificate of salts
factory service until the end of their
terminal leave and they have no
Unemployment rights without that
certificate. The committee believes
this could be Strengthened out by
regulation.
Easier to Obtain Jobs.
The committee also plans to 60
into the problems of veterans want
ing to get into the Federal service
for the first time. Its particular
goal will be to make it easier for
qualified veterans to get Govern
ment jobs.
Through the committee" the
council spokesman said, "the coun-
Gil hopes that over a period of time
some improvement can be made in
the mechanics of Unemployment of
veterans and recruiting them for
Federal jobs"
The committee, headed by
Fletcher Waller. War Department
personnel director, includes a care
full balance" of veterans and nom
veterans. the council spokesman
said. Staff member of the council
assigned to the committee is JUS
tice N. Chambers. assistant director
of the council, who was recently re-
leased from the Marine Corps as a
lieutenant colonel. He was wounded
three times in action.

War Tension Blamed

conditions brought on by the war
are believed responsible for large
volume of complaints daily reaching
the United States Attorneys Office
at Municipal Court which actually
do not justify court action.
Warrants are issued in an esti-
mated 10 out of approximately Is
applications daily by persons who
seek court action against others
who they say have threatened them
assaulted them or in some other
way infringed on their rights, John
B. Diamond, III. Assistant United
States Attorney in charge of the
office, says.
Investigation frequently indicates
that neighborhood squabbles, con-
clusions reached in the first heat
of anger, and misconceptions of the
law are at the bottom of the ap-
plications.
: Many Heard Outside of Court.
Such matters are taken care of by
members of the Office staff in one
way or another after hearings with
out reaching the court, where pos
sible.
Numerous among the matters in
volved are husband-and-wife threat
and assault complaints, many OF
which may be settled out of court
"Inasmuch as the District recog.
nizes common law relationships,
Mr.. Diamond points out, I'VE know
from experience that nine times ou
of ten the applicant merely want.
peace bond or warning to tn,
other party against repeating tn,
alleged offense.
I'VE know these complainant
themselves often don't want the
man arrested-just brought in for
hearing"
Other complaints are matters, fol
example, which a landlord normally
might be able to alleviate among his
tenants, but now has neither the
time nor the facilities for offsettins
by providing the most desirable liv.
ing conditions for all.

Rent-control restrictions restrain

jectionable tenant, and where many
persons are forced to occupy rela-
lively small quarters. friction Is
bound to arise sometimes, the at.
