The veterans organization con-
tends that the Veterans Prefer
ence Act of 1914 and a subse-
quent l948 Act protects veterans
with service-connected disabili-
ties from being fired without
cause.
The test case involves a Sheet
metal worker who suffered a
20 per cent service-connected dis
ability during the Korean War.
Navy officials say he is being
dismissed because he has COM
planned that he cannot do the
work assigned to him and that
there are no other duties fol
which he is qualified.
The FEVA denies that the EN-
ploye is unable to perform his
work tasks. 1t contends that
Boston Naval Shipyard doesn't
want disabled veterans on its
payroll and is using the sheet
metal worker as test case of its
own to see how far it can go in
getting rid of disabled veterans
Navy officials strongly deny
that such a policy is being con-
templated. They say the issue
involves only the question of
whether an employee is able TO
perform the work assigned to
him.

WASHINGTON. (JTA) - The
United States has rejected a
French request for a meeting of
tripartite foreign ministers on the

State Department spokesman
Lincoln White told the press last
week that the American decision
against the requested tripartite
parley has been communicated to
the French authorities here and in
Paris. Mr.. White said a possibility
existed that the Middle East ques-
ton might be discussed by the
american, British and French for
eign ministers at a side meeting
when the NATO group convenes
in Paris.
State Department sources said
the United States did not desire

The driver who drinks even one
drink and then takes his car down
the highway should be called THE
Life and Death of the Party"
Alcohol slows down reflexes the
way efficient brakes slow down a
car-with this difference: driver
controls his brakes, but alcohol
controls the driver.
Take a look, for moment, at
some figures that show what re-
flexes really mean. They mean, of
course, the difference between life
& death, but these National Safe
ty Council data on stopping dis
tances" give a new sharpness to
this meaning:
A car going 20 miles per hour
travels 50 feet between the time a
driver sees the danger, applies the
brakes, and brings it to a stop. A
drivers thinking distance" at go
mph-that is, the time it takes
him to see danger and apply brak-
es-is Sc feet, and the car itself,
going at a mile-a-minute speed,
will travel 336 feet before being
stopped by average brakes.
At 20 miles an hour-the speed
at which so many reflex-fuzzy
drivers travel after bending an ell
bow-the thinking distance" is II
feet, and the stopping distance 332
feet, with good brakes, and 445
with "passable" brakes.
There is no way to laugh off
these facts. Nor is there any way
to laugh off the tragic results
caused by ignoring them.
Put it this way: if you're going
70 miles an hour, you will cover
more ground than the length of a
football field before you can stop
your car. And this holds true only
when your reflexes are normally
keen and efficient.
A driver whose mind is fuzzy
with alcohol viii take far more
time to see danger and stop his
car-if, indeed, he stops it at all
before hitting a train, an embank-
ment, or another car.
Danger signals-such as a pc
destrian suddenly stepping into the
street, or an automobile cutting
recklessly out of its proper traffic
lane-don't register automatically
