MULTIPLE .JORS

t here are about 5000, 900
American workers, or nearly five
out of every 100 employed in the
nation, who hold more than one
job. 1t was estimated that 100 900
OF these men and women hold
three or more jobs.
These figures were made pub
lie by the Department of Labor,
in Washington.
The department said multiple
job-holding does not seem to con-
tribute significantly to national
unemployment.

Seumun's Plea
Blocked by Court
In DischorqeCose

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 81 (AP).
United States District Judge
Walter E. Hoffman has refused
to interfere with the Navy's
announced intention of dis
charging Chief Storekeeper
Milton C. Reed for reasons of
"unSuitability."
Judge Hoffman on Tuesday
approved a Navy motion to dis
miss seaman Reeds petition for
an injunction to block his dis
charge. The jurist concluded he
has not exhausted his admins
trative remedies within the
Navy's discharge procedure.
And even if that were so,
Judge Hoffman held, "the
court would be required to find
that there is no judicial power
to review under the facts of
CIlIS case.
| Seaman Reed would have 20
years in the Navy when his
current enlistment expired
March 81, 1862. He was notified
May "a the Navy intended to
discharge him.
Seaman Reed, "a, was in
volved in an automobile crash

guilty of driving under the in
fluence of intoxicants. The

Ohio Land Problems
In Ohio. the construction
program under its present di-
rector, Everett Preston. seems
to be leveling out toward an
orderly $500 million q year
businesS-but it was not al
ways quite so orderly.
When Mr.. Preston took ONCE
in February, 1859, he discovered
that the previous administra-
tion had let 81 last-minute
highway contracts. He discov-
cred also that the contractors
couldn't go to work because the
State had failed to acquire
rights-of-way.
Work was delayed three to
six months. No one has yet
analyzed whether the land for
these 81 projects cost more
than 1t would have cost under
normal procedures.
Like many States, Ohio also
has a land problem. Right now
there are more than 1000 cases
pending in court. Under the
previous administration, the
State made offers to purchase
land on, a take-it-or-leave-it
basis. Many land owners left
it and went to court where
juries have proved generous.
Another factor apparently
has complicated Ohio'S land
problem. Ray j. Glaze, High
way Department attorney, said
in an interview some evidence
exists that a few attorneys had
been soliciting land suits from
disgruntled owners.
Glaze added. however, that
the solicitations violation of
American Bar Association can
ons - was done so subtly it
would be almost impossible to
prove.
Some Ohioans still are grum-
bling over the 11-month delay
in opening a leg Of the inter-
state route between Columbus
and Cleveland. The delay has
been attributed to a contracting
firm which was over-extended
financially but was neverthe-
less permitted to complete the
work. -.---. -. - - $1,000.
