FRANKFURT, April 16. Germany
had black market long before the
Allied armies arrived - and Adolf
Hitler found the problem just as
battling as present day officials.
This was disclosed in an intimate
conversation between the Fuehrer
and SIS Leader Heinrich Himmler,
the official transcript of which was
found by the American Army.
The tone of their talk near Bad
Nauheim December %, 1914, bears
marked resemblance to that often
heard in Allied countries and Ger
many since the war.
"It is significant that there is a
continuous chain of shady opera
tions going on" Hitler began.
TN Germany we collect old rags,
but from the front lines all sorts of
textiles flow back into the home
land. You can visit tens of thou
sands or hundreds of thousands OF
households in Germany and every
where you find army equipment"
Himmler complained: Millions of
blankets have disappeared"
Hitler: How does that happen?

thing in the air war just think, I

Army 6-Engine JET Plane
Reported Nearly Finished
Nv the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, April 16.-The Bal
timore Sun said today that the
Army Air Forces most revolution
ary-type bomber, powered by six jet
engines, would be ready soon for
It's first flight from the Middle
River plant of the Glenn L. Martin
Co.
Both the War Department and
Martin Co. officials refused either
to confirm or deny the report that
the plane, known as the xB-48, was
being prepared for its first flight
test, the Sun stated. 1t Is believed
to be the first six-jet bomber In
aviation history, the newspaper
added.
The sun said the aircraft was
believed capable of 500-mile-an-
hour speed, equivalent to that OF
first-line fighter planes of World
War II, and a range of more than
1000 miles" with a lotion load.
II the latter characteristic "is
true" the Sun reported, then the
XB-48 in all probability could be
used to carry atomic bombs"

New Bill 10 Discard
Full Job Preference
Proyiso for Veterans
By Joseph Young

The highly controversial legis-
lation to give war veterans In the
Federal service absolute job
preference over all other Gov
ernment employees has been
killed by the House Civil Service
Committee, it was learned today.
A storm of protest by Federal
employees unions was one of the
main factors in striking out the
provisions which conceivably might
have enabled a veteran with Is
days of Government employment to
his credit to oust a nonveteran
career employe with rs years Of
Federal service.
New Bill Being Written.
This provision in the veterans
preference bill, introduced by Chair
man Rees, has been eliminated and
a new bill is being written to as
sure both the career service en-
ploye as well as veterans the rights
that they are entitled to-" a COM
mittee spokesman revealed today.
The original bill would have pro-
kvided that, during the current Fed
eral observation-disclosures program, nc
veteran be dismissed until all nom
veteran employees were dropped from
the payroll of an individual Gov
ernment agency. Union groups
pointed out that this would have
resulted in gross injusticeS to per-
manent career employees In the Gov
ernment and eventually would have
destroyed the merit system.
Rees Reported in Agreement.
It is understood that Mr.. Rees
was agreeable to the change in the
bill. He expressed the view that
his goal Is to make certain war
veterans in Government receive all
the rights granted them under the
Veterans Preference Act.
Under the act, veterans are given
top priority over nonveteran Gov
ernment employees in their particu-
lar status. For example, a veteran
who is a war-service employe has
complete job preference over all
other war-service workers. This
veteran, however, does not have
preference over a nonveteran en-
ploye with permanent status.
Hearings Slated Shortly.
Mr.. Rees feels that Government
agencies in some cases aren't living
up to the spirit of the act. Union
leaders and Government officials
had pointed out, however, that Mr.
Rees' original provision would have
wiped out the job tenure rights o1
permanent status nonveteran en-
ployes.
AS now being rewritten, the bill
would guarantee the job rights o1
career people in the Government
and at the same time make sure
veterans are given the rights they
are entitled to under the law. The
new bill is being drafted by Mr.
Rees' own committee staff.
Hearings on the revised measure
will begin shortly by a subcomnit-
tee under the Craftsmanship Of Rep

engineer, who was charged with
the duty Of firing the gun BY

The mouth of the Columbiad, now

open entirely to the sky.
The moon advanced upward in
a heaven Of the purest clearness,
outshining in her passage the
twinkling light of the stars. All
eyes were fixed upon the yaWning
mouth Of the Columbiad.
Murchison followed with his
eye the hand of his chronometer.
It wanted scarce forty seconds to

each second seemed to last an

"Thirty-fiye! - thirty-six! -

Instantly Murchison pressed
with his finger the key OF the
electric battery, restored the cur

the spark into the breech Of the
Columbiad.
An appalling. unearthly report
followed instantly, such as can be
compared to nothing whatever
known, not even to the roar of
thunder, or the blast of volcanic
explosions! No words can convey
the slightest idea of the terrific
sound! An immense spout Of fire
