The latest case filed this week
here concerns an Army Depart
ment veteran employee with in
definite status who, as in the
other case. contends that he has
job retention rights over career
non-veterans. The veterans
group contends that these vet
Grams would have received per-
manent status had it not been
for the original Whittier rider
which barred permanent APP
pointments. It contends that
the Written rider does not have
the right, to nullify the Veterans
Preference Act.

Quote from a wonderful letter
from Bing Crosby: Frankly, I
don't know if my performance
in The Country Girl is good or
not. It's hard for me to tell. I
just did what I was told. and
it was a rewarding experience
under the sensitive guidance of
George Seaton. I think If there
are any Academy Awards in this
piece, Grace Kelly ought to get
one, and William Holden. and
surely Seaton ought to be nomi-
mated for screenplay and direc-
ton. Well, Sheilah, I just
want you to know that I am
grateful for your interest and
support, and I pray that when
the picture is released, it will be
justified. ! know it will.

 For the interest of the per- son who wrote this letter to he police dspartm mt I wish, to inform him or her that the 1854 license plates do not go into effect until February 28. 1854, and # you think we are asleep. you try to drive around town after that date.
