Your Gl Rights QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON SERVICEMEN'S PROBLEMS fe-L_. -J By DOUGLASS LARSON NEA Staff Correspondent Washington, April 13.—The Fed eral government continues to be the largest single employer of return ing veterans. Here are some typi cal questions regarding veterans' preference for Federal jobs: Q. Does a former Federal em ploye who resigned and went Into the army have the same re employment rights as one who was placed on a furlough status when he was drafted? A. Yes. There Is no difference betwen the reemployment rights of a former Federal employe Whose appointment was termi nated when he went into service Apd those of an employe who was placed on a furlough status. The determining factor is whether the veteran left to enter the armed forces Immediately. If he held an other Job between the time of in duction and quitting the govern ment he would have reemployment Eights in that job but not with the government. Q. Does the “members-of-family" rale which provides that not more than two members of a family liv ing under one roof may hold Jobs in the Federal civil service apply to Persons with veteran preference? J A. No. Q. I am a veteran. I submitted claim for preference (including supporting papers) with the Service Commission when I for an examination. There been time enough for the of my claim to be returned I want to apply for another Must I submit another with the new application I am about to flic? No. Just fill out the new Form 14 and attach It Application, stating you have submitted proof of your for preference. Be sure to the exact date, place and title examination in ccnnection you originally submitted HOSPITAL BULLETINS superintendent of Repubhcan wao reported on the by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs Henry Corden and other property owners of Wales street, on the other hand sought permission to amend their complaint and file a bond. Both motions were the result of a State Supreme Court decision, in which It was ruled the plaintiffs did not file a sufficient bond and that the plea of abatement of the de fendants should have been sustain ed by the trial court. Reference was made, however, in the high court's decision last month of the possibility the plaintiffs may be able to correct the defect on the bond. Attorneys John H. Cassidy and A. A. Rlbicoff, counsel for the Hart ford concern, contended that the high court by its decision intended to end the entire issue in the case. They stated that although error was found on the pleadings, the high court also decided the main issue in the case when it ruled the property involved constituted a "lot” and not a "corner lot.” Attorney William K. Lawlor claimed the plaintiffs have a right to amend their complaint and file a proper bond, preparatory to a new trial. He contended the high court by its decision “never intended to set aside the decision of the trial court except on that one question of a bond." Judge Cornell, who in June, 1942, found the issues for the plaintiffs, today placed questions regarding the decision of the high court. “If the plea in abatement should have been sustained then there are no merits,” he commented in answer to statements by counsel for the de fendants that the high court ruled on the merits. “Why should they decide the matter that never came before them,” he continued. The decision on the plea of abate ment, originally was given by Judge Carl Poster, now a state referee. The final decision in the trial was handed down by Judge Cornell. Numerous citations were submit ted today to the jurist by counsel in the case.
