Opposition to any increase, ir

last night by the Lincoln Park Citi-

for permission to do away with

sit fare would hurt riders least able

duct an impartial inquiry into tbs

u. ). Food Mission
TO Leave for japan

The Government is sending q
mission to Japan to learn If that
country can become more self suf-
ficient in food and thus cut down
the cost to the United States of
feeding the Japanese.
The Seven-man mission was
scheduled to leave Washington by
plane today.
It is made up of Nathan Koenig,
executive assistant to Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson; Col. r. L.
Harrison, assistant administrator of
the Production and Marketing Ad-
ministration; Roswell H. Whitman,
associate chief Of the State Depart
ment's Division of Japanese-Korean

terson; Capt. Tracy B. Kittredge,

partment; Col. Joseph w. Scobey of
the War Department and Kenneth
D. Jacob, fertilizer expert for the
Agriculture Department.
Mr.. Koenig said plans called for
visits to Korea and perhaps For
mosa, as well as Japan.
The mission wants to learn what
the Japanese government has done
to increase fertilizer and food pro-
duction; what will be Japan's future
requirements for Hood imports in
order to maintain a daily 1850
calory ration and what steps can be
taken to cut costs of feeding opera
tions, thus easing the burden on the
American taxpayer.
The mission is expected to require
four weeks for its study.

sion to Germany at the request of

| 10-Year Limit Urged
I0nAdded Civil Service
Credits for Veterans

An end within five to 10 years OF
special preference credits granted
World War II veterans on civil serv-
ice. examinations was urged last
night by Senator and veterans
leader in addresses before the So
ciety of Personnel Administration.
At present, disabled veterans au-
tomatically get an additional 10
points to their examination scores
for Federal jobs. Those without dis
ability get five points.
Senator Cain, Republican, OF
Washington, said the preferences
should be stopped within five to 10
years, on the assumption that by
that time society should have shaken
itself down and that all veterans
should have completely caught up
as members of a free, competitive
society"
He also urged that in no case
should the five or 10 points be al
lowed veterans who fail to get a
minimum passing score on their
tests.
II think the intent was to give the
veteran an added push, but not II
he failed to get the minimum score
for a job," Senator Cain declared.
Ray Sawyer, national commander
of the American Veterans of World
War II, termed the preference a
premium on incompetence, and rec
commended that it be stopped after
five years.
But then, veterans who pass the
tests should be given absolute prior
ity on jobs" he added.
In another talk, Charles Anderson,
chief of the Veterans Service Sec
ton, Civil Service Commission, said
total Federal employment during
the two-year period beginning Nov
ember, 1914, decreased 81 per cent
During that period, veterans en-
ployment increased 81 per cent, he
said, with 8l9,896 ex-GIs on the
rolls last November.
