Compton DepIores
Lethargy on Training
BY the As.oeiatsd Press

CAMBRIDGE, July 15.-Dr.
Karl T. Compton said today this
country would be in better shape
now if the recommendations of
the Presidents Advisory Commits
sion on Universal Training had
received more implementation
three years ago.
In a letter to his former asso-
ciates on the commission, the
chairman of. the corporation at
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology said:
"a few days ago, in the light Of
the current situation in Korea 1t
occurred to me to look back over
our report TO the President, on
May 90. 1947. Perhaps you also
have done this and have been
struck, as I was, by the extent to
which we anticipated something
like the present situation as one
OF the possible ways In which the
United States might become in
volved in war, and indicating,
therefore. one of the types. Of
emergency for which any ade-
quate program of national se-
curity should make provision.
There is no particular point
in retrospective argument since
this present emergency must be
handled with what can now be
provided and with a fresh analysis
of future eventualities.
Nevertheless, it seems that our
basic analysis was sound and that
our country would be in better
shape now had our recommended
tions received a greater degree of
implementation beginning three
years ago."

Government agencies. this phase
of the law is nullifying the Vet
erans Preference Act, and has
little relation to efficiency"
ACTION DEMANDED The
VFW has asked Congress to cor
rect the situation which it COM
plains about by eliminating the
phrase "for such cause as will
promote the efficiency of the serv-
ice" In its stead, the VFW pro-
poses that the language of the
Veterans Preference Act state
that veterans can only be denoted
for inef1ciency, delinquency, or
misconduct"
In making his attack, Mr.. Ket-
chum also lashed out at the Fed
eral Career Employees Association
and some Government employe
unions for seeking to "discredit"
veterans preference in Govern
ment.
In effect, this is counter-at-
tack to the efforts of some of the
employe groups to modify vet
Grams preference by giving career
employees some additional Job
protection. These groups feel that
the present law. which provides
that non-veterans must be fired
ahead of veterans in Government
observation-disclosures programs re-
gardless of seniority, has caused
great injustices and hardships to
longtime career workers.

MARTINsBURG. w. Va. July
10 laming oil from overturned
tank cars blocked the main line
of the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad
near here today after 13 cars of
Ia westbound freight were de-
rallied.
No one was hurt but the Shen-
andoah, Chicago to New York ex-
press, was delayed five hours. It
was finally detoured over Western
Maryland railroad tracks.
A wreck crew opened the tracks
at 6 pm, four hours after the
to partial traffic at 6 pm, four
hours after the accident.
Firemen from Hancock, Md,
and Martinsburg extinguished the
flames, which spread over three
tracks. Railroad men said the
derailment, IL miles west of here
was caused by a defective journal
box which resulted in a broken
axle on one of the cars.

the Veterans Preference Act of
1914 to denote veterans, while
retaining non-veterans in higher
paying jobs.
According to the VFW official
the words are the provision in
the Act which declares that vet
Grams may be denoted to lower
paying jobs "for such cause as
will promote the efficiency of the
service"
Mr.. Ketchum said Government
agencies representing the whole
alphabetical scale, have pounced
upon this clause as an excuse to
denote veterans while keeping
non-veterans on the payroll in
high-ranking positions.
Federal agencies are violating
the spirit and intent of the Veter-
ans Preference Act which was
especially designed to give the
veteran break in Federal en-
ployment and to assure him, in
some measure, employment oppor-
tunities which were lost through
wartime service"
The VFW official says he has
been "swamped" with complaints
from veterans who have been de-
NOTED for the good of the service.
Yet when their cases are studied
there Is no plausible reason for
their drop in status" he declares.
The devious ways to demotion
cannot be catalogued," Mr.. Ket-
chum says. Various Government
agencies cite one factor in case
as meritorious. In the next breath
they use it as a club to knock a
veteran down the ladder"
Notwithstanding to Mr.
Ketchum, one veteran may be de-
NOTED by a Government agency
because he has only a general
knowledge Of his work. The same
agency then argues that another
veteran is too specialized and de-
notes him for the efficiency of the
service. the vFW Official says.
Another Of the below-the-belt
techniques employed to denote
veterans is to give them efficiency
ratings Of unsatisfactory, denote
them and then rehire them for a
job that has a lower rating" Mr..
Ketchum adds. This procedure
is difficult to reverse if an argu-
ment developes, because the vet
eran is forced to prove that he
didn't deserve an unsatisfactory
rating in the first place"
Mr.. Ketchum contends that the
"abuses have been worked over
time by most Government depart
ments and agencies" but adds
that the Post Office Department
has been especially bad in this
regard recently.
"The VFW is for efficiency in
Government service" MIR. Ket-
chum says. But the way this

Montgomery Cab License
Before Court Of Appeals
By the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 15.-The
Maryland Court of Appeals yes
terday was asked to decide wheth-
er Montgomery County has the
right to charge for local taxicab
registration in addition to State
charges.
John S. Bigelow of the We
Cab Co. declared that a Circuit
Court decision last year, award
ing him reimbursal of $203 for
license fees paid local authorities,
was not appealable.
No facts have been put on rec
ord, he said.
A hearing before the appeals
court was granted the county
last April 10.
County lawyers cited a 1945
amendment to the State Motor
Vehicle Act. This specifically
gave Montgomery County the
right to impose local license fees
on taxicabs. The County Com
missioners ordered the law into
effect July IA, 1947.
Mr.. Bigelow referred to the
original vehicle code which pro-
vided that no city, county or other
subdivision shall require licens-
ing or taxing of cabs in addition
to that required by the State.
