EMPLOYMENT CEILINGS ‘Washington has finally come through with a new order which may settle the manpower problem once and for all and enable the nation to get on with the task of smashing the enen Under a regulation issued last week by War Mob- ilization Director James Byrnes, ceilings have been placed on the number of employees business houses may employ and generally the number allotted will be_the number employed as of August 1. Furthermore, a priorities committee in each area will determine whether or not any employer is exag- gerating his need for employees with relation of the employer to the war effort. Essential industries will be given enough men to do the job. Less essential industries will have to get along with what they have - | ence. the requefll of the military authorities. On all battle- {fronts, the American armies are now carrying the battle to the enemy. The war is being carried out according to plan, and indications are that this plan will call for a great assault against the enemy in ihe Pacific very soon. It is only important that the materiel for war be produced without any interfer- Nothing else matters today Unfortunately, there has been too much talk from official sources in Washington of reconversion to civilian production while the war is still not won It would be wise for most of us to disregard such trash, and get on with winning the war. The task of War Manpower agents is made much more difficult by announcements from the War Pro- more girdles or diapers, or tires, or bobby pins. Veterans’ Preference (Washington Post) We wonder why Congress did not think of extend- ing veterans’ preference benefits to forger servicemen who might want to run for election to the national |legislature. This is a perfeetly feasible idea. Tt could be provided, for example, that in every election district where a veteran announced himself as a candidate, the ballot boxes should be stuffed in wdvance with, say, a thousand votes to his credit. Thus, in order to be elected, any nonveteran would have to secure in excess of a thousand votes over and 1bove the total polled for any veteran who might oppose him This arrangement would be roughly comparable to that which is now established for the classified civil service in the executive branch of the govern- ment. Under the Starnes-Scrugham Act, honorably discharged servicemen or women are to be given five points in addition to their earned ratings in civil service examinations; if they have a service-connected disability, they are to be given a ten-point advantage, and in case they themselves are unable to qualify, this ten-point advantage goes to the wives or widows. In addition, the names of ten-point preference eligibles are to be placed above all other names on the civil service list, while any five-point preference eligible— after he has received the five points to which he is entitled—is to be certified for appointment ahead of any nonveteran whc made the same rating in a civil service examination—without benefit of the five points. : The Post believes—and indeed has often urged— that every reasonable effort be made to open up job opportunities to returning servicemen. But the status of these men can only be debased by treating them as inferiors incapable of securing jobs through free | competition with their fellow citizens. And the Gov- | ernment of the United States can only be debased dliction Board that we will soon be manufacturing| e . oooeee et ey HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUGUST 17 George Gullufsen, Jr. Hallie Rice William Parke Ella Bodwell Mrs. George Edison Clarice Upton Mrs. Perry Owen Francis McCoy Mrs. Robert Wright - e HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” TUESDAY, AUGUST 8 Conflicting planetary aspects mark this day.
