Car Battery Shortage
Threatening Nation
Laid 70 u. 5. Agencies

The American Automobile Associ-

motorists face critical shortage of
batteries which threatens immobili-

H. j. Brunnier, president of the
association, charged the shortage re-

A spokesman for AAA said the
battery situation here was quite

demand being met by dealers. Many
garages have discontinued issuing
rental batteries, forcing motorists to
tie up their cars while old batteries
are being charged.

Reports to us reveal that bat

he wrote.
Mr.. Brunnier said that although
the supply of batteries in Washing

tight than in other cities. Off

be found for 100000 veterans by
1947 If the Nation is to avoid pro-
longed unemployment. Ralph H.

can create jobs within their busi-
nesses.
Asks Credit for Training.
Omar B. Ketchum, national legis-
lative representative for the Vet
Grams OF Foreign Wars, told the
conference seniority equivalent to
the length of time spent in military
service should be granted war vet
erans who, although they did not
work before the war, acquired
special skills while in uniform.
Labor unions, which have fought
seniority rights for veterans when
ever those rights confiicted with
seniority claims of non-veterans,
must give more than lip service to
veterans" Mr.. Ketchum said. Men
should not be penaliZed for having
served in the armed forces"
Bradley, Hershey to Speak.
Perry Faulkner, chief of the Vet
erans' Employment Service, Wash
ington, said the veteran will be
needing greater service in, let us
say. five years from now"
1T is not too much to say that
the salvation of our industrial and
social freedom depends upon the re-
adjustment of the veteran from the
soldier to civilian with a job"

nesday with a panel discussion at
which Veterans Administrator
Bradley. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,

that wires have been forwarded to
both senators in the name OF the

much to all veterans, Galloway
said, as they are allowed 80 days
leave and in most cases only used
about 20 days.
Legislation was expected to get
support from all Tar Heel posts,
as it did with the Wilmington post
which has a membership of ap-
proximately LOO.
