Job Situation for Negroes
Improving, Official Says

Job opportunities in the District
flor colored persons are better now
than before the war, according to
Victor r. Daily, chief of the per-
sonnel and fiscal division Of the
United States Employment Service
for the District.
Mr.. DAILY spoke this morning at a
meeting at Armstrong High School
marking q vocational guidance
program of the Washington Urban
League for colored youth.
Mr.. DAILY said that during the
war many better jobs were opened
to colored persons because of
necessity. Now job standards are
high and requirements are rigid.
he said. but the old bugaboo of
racial discrimination has virtually
been eliminated in Government
employment, Washington's largest
industry.
For the future" Mr.. DAILY con-
cluded, "the white worker will
largely control his own 'occupa-
tional opportunity. First, by his
fitness and preparation for the
job. and secondly, by his per-
formance on the job"

Peron 10 Take Oath
To New Constitution
By the kssocjotsd Press


BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 16.-All
Argentina was on holiday today
as President Juan D. Peron pre-
pared to take the oath to support
the country's new constitution.
The strongly pro-Peron General
Labor Federation called a "a
hour work stoppage to assure the
biggest possible crowds for the
ceremonies. Even railways, sub
ways and buses were authorized
to close down for a half hour at
noon when Gen. Peron will mount
the steps of the National Congress
Building.
There, on a Bible supplied by
the Social Aid Foundation, found
ed by his wife Eva, Gen. Peron
will swear to uphold the new con-
stitution.
This document. which supplants
the constitution of 1853, gives
Gen. Peron the right to run for
reelection as President. Argen-
tine Presidents were forbidden to
seek reelection under terms of
the old law.
Gen. Peron' has repeatedly de-
MED that he plans to take ad-
vantage of this provision when
his present term expires in 1852.
Throughout Argentina each
community has arranged its own
celebration.

'Rearm in Violation Of
Treaties, Briton Says
by the Associated PrssS

LONDON. Mar. 49, Minister
of State Hector Mcneil today
charged that three former Nazi
allies in collusion with Russia
are rearming in violation Of their
peace treaties.
Mr.. Mcneil accused Romania,
Bulgaria and Hungary of flag
rant violations of the peace
treaties with Soviet connivance
and even with Soviet support"
Bulgarian and Romanian armed
forces already exceed the figures
laid down in the treaties. Mr..
Mcneil told Parliament. He
added that while Hungarian forces
might be below treaty strength,
they are reported to be expand
ing"
Refused Request for Data.
Mr.. Mcneil said when Britain
and the United States sent a re-
quest to all three former Nazi
satellites asking for details of
their armies, they refused to
comply on the grounds the third
big poWer-RuSsia-did not sign
the request.
In such circumstances" Mr.
Mcneil said, "the British govern
ment is entitled to conclude that
the ex-enemy governments, In col
lusion with the government Of
Russia, are not implementing the
military clauses Of the peace
treaty"
The three treaties were to be
supervised by the Allied powers for
a period of 18 months, which ended
yesterday. Mr.. Mcneil said during
that period there have been "vio-
lations of the human rights, mill
tary and economic clauses by all
three ex-enemy countries
The British minister said For
eign Secretary Bevin assures the
House that we fully maintain our
rights to invoke the treaty ma
chinery at any time in the future"
Hungary Allowed $1,000.
Treaty provisions allow Hungary
an army Of IS. 900 and a 5,000-man
air force Of 80 planes. Bulgaria
is allowed q 55.000-man army.
800 men for antiaircraft defense,
$500 airmen with 80 planes. and
5000 seamen with 1880 tons Of
shipping. Romania was to have
120, 900 land troops. 5000 anti
aircraft gunners. 5000 airmen
manning $50 planes. and 5000
seamen for a Is. .000-to navy. None
was to have heavy bombers or
rockets, even experimentally.
whenever BRITAIN or the
United States has attempted to
invoke the peace treaty by calling
a meeting Of representatives Of
the three Allied powers with
view to concerting action. the
Soviet representative has refused
to attend" Mr.. Mcneil said.
All three treaties guaranteed
freedom Of religion, press, speech
and public meetings to all persons.
