vETERANS' GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

bis walking papers until all tenn porary employees had received theirs, but that isn't so. Employees compete for retention only in similar job groups A temporary employee might be kept on the job while five war-service em- ployees got fired That's because the job of the temporary employee might be a vital operation while the jobs of the five war-service guys could be dispensed with.
 There are more angles to this business than gags in radio pro- gram.

(This is the first of two columns | by Major Nial explaining veterans retention preference for federal employees9
 ! Today comes an explanation of i something needing it, the reten- ton rights of veterans who are in federal employment under Civil ! Service jurisdiction or in any part of the Executive Branch of the Government.
 If you ask me, this is a con- plicated mess and I'm only hop ing that what I write here doesn't make it more so. Read on and youll see why my nerves and dis position are frayed
 Congress is watching the budget requests of government depart ments, bureaus and agencies with the worried eye a husband peels when his wife goes window shop ping" An Associated Press dis patch the other day said some high official predicted that be- tween 10000 and 150,000 employees of the Interior Department would lose their jobs if the appropria- tion bill for that department should become law.
 So it appears probable that many CS employees will feel the axe in this government economy drive. Who will they be? i For retention purposes in CS employment, all employees are di- vided among three groups: tenn porary (the first to go), war-ser- vice mexD and permanent (they stay the longesD.
 Temporary employees, as they know, were hired under CS for short periods, usually not to exceed one year. War-service employees were hired during the war and have DO permanent status That's because CS felt it wasn't fair to give permanent status to new era- ployess during the war while mil lions of Americans were in the armed service, unatle to compete.
 Permanent employees are those who have a permanent status and who won't lose their jobs, at least until all others doing the same kind of work lose theirs.
 So in a cut-back for any par ticular job classification, tempor- ary employees go first, war-ser- vice second, and permanent third and last.
 Now comes another breakdown Each o: these groups is divided in to four sub-groups! (This may be painful, I know, Here is the order of retention by sub-groups.
 Those with greatest retention preference, those who will get the boot last in any particular class of job, are veterans who have eff ciency ratings of good or bet ter
 Next sub-group with greatest preference retention are non-vet- erans who have efficiency ratings of good or better.
 Third sub-group are veterans who have efficiency-ratings of less than good" The last sub-group (the first to go out in cuthacks) are non-veterans with ratings of less than good
 This means that veteran who has an efficiency rating of good say, and a permanent status under CS will have retention preference over a non-veteran permanent en- ployee even if the non-veteran has an efficiency rating of excellent" and 10 or 12 more years seniority than the veteran!
 It may appear from this that no war-service appointee would gel

treatment for childhood's emergencies In
your town or city, does every parent know
where to 60 when injury strikes? A Child
Care Center, perhaps special unit of big
hospital, can save lives by saving time.
Every child benefits from the research,
training and experience which doctors and
nurses find at babies hospitals, where all the
resources of medicine are concentrated on
the special problems of children.
The lessons are not for the medical
profession alone, as my wife and dis
covered. Our sons experience was lesson
we would never forget. And as he set out
safely on the road to recovery, we became
acquainted with most of the other small
patients and found out what brought them
there.
Martin was another burn case His mother
had used benzine to clean the pair of long
pants he insisted on wearing to a friends
birthday party On the way, a spark from
trash fire in a vacant lot turned him into a
human torch. He owes his life to a passerby
who beat out the flames with his bare hands,
Martin and our own son we're lucky. Every
year, we discovered, hundreds of children die
of burns inflicted by hot liquids always near
stove), by electrical gadgets and by home
use of gasoline, benzine, and other inflam-
mable cleaning fluids. Infammable clothing,
too, is another hazard. Since there is no law
to protect our children against infamnlable
materials in the clothing we buy, it's up to
parents to avoid the danger.

PATRICIA was one of the three small chill
dren who came in for ''endoscopy" during the
weeks our son was patient at Babies Hospi-

foreign bodies, wherever they may lodge The
foreign body in Patricia's case was an open
safety pin which got stuck, point upwards,
in her esophagus. To get the pin out, the
surgeon had to close it first - a very ticklish
process. l watched it rehearsed in advance
on contraption of rubber hoses and blad-
ders built to the exact dimensions of Panicia's
insides and containing duplicate safety pin
in corresponding position.
With the illuminated esophagoscope, the
surgeon probed for the pin, manipulating
