Clio Veterans Group Hits
Job Subsistence Ceilings

Establishment of wage ceilings
for veterans receiving subsistence
under the on-the-job training pro-
grams will destroy usefulness of
the entire act for many veterans"
the CIO Veterans COMMITTEES
charged last night.
Committee Chairman Clinton s.
Golden of the United Steelworkers
of America said the wage and sub
sistence allowance ceilings-set at
men-"will relegate many veterans
and SITS for single former service
men. will relegate many veterans
to inferior living standards"
TT is true there has been con-
siderable abuse of the matter OF
wages" he said, but the abuse does
not justify a remedy which would
err as far on the other extreme
and affect thousands of legitimate
veteran employees.
The idea behind subsistence al
lowances was to permit veterans to
pursue a course of study without
impairing their earning power.
Surely a veteran is entitled to earn
more than SITS a month for full
time employment" he declared.

Fako, is General Accounting Office
worker.
Paul brought pair OF blue gills

He said at first his father had
caught the smaller of the two, but
later he claimed both of them.
Women contestants supplied SNUG
chuckles to masculine devotees of
Izaak Walton. One woman landed
a fish but refused to take it from
the hook herself. A gallant neigh
Dor did the job for her. Another
woman was reported to have spent
some time trying to catch a fish
with a lure that had no hook on it.
The Tidal Basin was specially
stocked for the occasion Friday
morning with about 1000 fish from
the hatchery at Fort Belvoir, Va,

that the maximum cost involved
VIII amount to about So or $40 a
person annually.
The doctors selected for the pro-
gram can come from the ranks of
the Public Health Service or from
the doctors list of the Civil Service
Commission. In this respect, it has
been learned that the commission
has promised to raise its standards
for doctor applicants in order that
they can participate in the new
Federal health program.

passed by Congress and signed by
President Truman last week only
after a two-year fight on the part
OF Chairman Randolph of the House

Government workers can compete
in annual angling contests.
That, at least, was the ambition

chairman of the Federal Recreation
Council, as he watched nearly 1000
General Accounting Office and Com
merce Department employees and
their families scattered around the
Tidal Basin, rod in hand, in the
opening day of a two-day fishing
tournament.
An even larger turnout is expected
today, but Mr.. zuch said by next
year he hoped to have every Gov
ernment agency participating in the
contest.
We want people standing 3 feet
apart sll around the Tidal Basin, -
he remarked.
Originally conceived as an an
nual outing for personnel of the
General Accounting Office by Sam
Krawitz and Paul o. Peters of that
agency, the first fishing contest
at the Tidal Basin was held Sep
tember %. 1945, which turned out
to be rainy day that discouraged
all but the hardest anglers from
competing.
Too Warm for Some.
Yesterday. however sportsmen had
warm summer sun to favor their
efforts-a little too warm for some,
who soon found shady spots in
which they could fish in greater
comfort.
1t was family affair, with most
contestants bringing their wives and
children, either as kibitzers or as
competitors with rods and reels of
their own.
