u. 5. Workers Unions
Favor Move 10 Block
Veteran Dumping

Strong support Of legislation to
protect Federal career employees
from being bumped" from their
jobs by veterans during the current
observation-disclosures program was in-
dicated yesterday by Government
employees union groups.
Details of the amendment to be
introduced by Representative Jones
Republican. Of Washington. were re-
vealed yesterday in The Star. The
provision, which Mr.. Jones plans to
Introduce as an amendment to the
Veterans Preference Act, would pro-
tect Government employees with 10
or more years OF service from losing
their jobs ahead of veterans with
less years Of service to their credit.
Government union officials de-
clared that the proposed legislation
was "eminently fair" and would be
simple justice" for thousands Of
career workers who face dismissal
during the next few months. They
pointed out that already thousands
of Federal workers, with 20 or as
years of service to their credit, have
lost their jobs to veterans who have
been in the Government for only a
few years.
Members Opinions Sought.
The union officials expressing
their views asked that their names
not be used since they have both
veterans and career employees among
their memberships.
''Well probably indorse the legis-
lation at the proper time after We
see what the majority Of our mem
bership thinks about It," one union
official said.
Under the present law, veterans
with permanent status in the Gov
ernment get job-retention rights
over all nonyeterans in the Govern
ment, no matter how long the non-
veteran has been in the Federal
service. Mr.. Jones, who plans to
introduce his amendment soon with
the probable backing of the House
Civil Service Committee, of which
he Is a member, contends this works
an injustice on career workers.
Protection Is Aim.
The Jones amendment would give
absolute job protection to these en-
ployes, who have at least 10 years of
service, against veterans with less
service in the Government.
Under the Jones measure, veterans
in the Federal service still would re-

 The resignation of James F. Byrnes as United States Secretary of State was received in world capitals today with sharp sur prise, and expressions of regret were mingled with overtones of beWilderment.
 A chorus of approval for the ap- pointment of Gen. George C. Mar shall as Byrnes' successor extend ed to tuRh-anssieu-v
 ed to the RuSsian-controlled press in Berlin, but foreign offices buzzed with speculation over the possible effects of the dramatic change upon Americas foreign policy.
 Among United Nations repre- sentatives at Lake Success, N. Y., attention centered on the fact that Byrnes' resignation followed so closely that of Bernard M. Baruch as U. s. member of the U. N. atomic commission. But there were no immediate indications that the American delegation would seek any postponement of the disarma- ment discussion scheduled for the security council agenda tomorrow.
 Official London received the se- lection of Gen. Marshall with ap- proval. But the press, which treated the announcement as top news, generally regretted Byrnes' retirement. The influential Times praised Byrnes' skill and tenacity, hailed him for securing bipartisan American support, and said "The successes achieved at the end of the year owe much to him."
 The Communist Daily Worker speculated that Byrnes was Gre garded as an old Roosevelt man." and expressed belief he had been busted by President Truman.
