New Bill fo Discard
Full Job Preference
Proviso for Veterans
By Joseph Young
The highly controversial legis
lation to give war veterans in the
Federal service absolute job
preference over all other Gov
ernment employes has been
killed by the House Civil Service
Committee, it was learned today.
A storm of protest by Federal
employes’ unions was one of thei
main factors in striking out the;
provisions which conceivably might
have enabled a veteran with 25
days of Government employment to
his credit to oust a nonveteran
career employe with 25 years of
Federal service.
New Bill Being Written.
This provision in the veterans’
preference bill, introduced by Chair
man Rees, has been eliminated and
a new bill is being written to as
sure “both the career service em
ploye as well as veterans the rights
that they are entitled to,” a com
mittee spokesman revealed today.
The original bill would have pro
vided that, during the current Fed
eral reduction-in-force program, no
veteran be dismissed until all non
veteran employes were dropped from
the payroll of an individual Gov
ernment agency. Union groups
pointed out that this would have
resulted in gross injustices to per
manent career employes in the Gov
ernment and eventually would have
destroyed the merit system.
Rees Reported in Agreement.
It is understood that Mr. Rees
was agreeable to the change in the
bill. He expressed the \iew that
his goal is to make certain war
veterans in Government receive all
the rights granted them under the
Veterans’ Preference Act.
Under the act, veterans are given
top priority over nonveteran Gov
ernment employes in their particu
lar status. For example, a veteran
who is a war-service employe has
complete job preference over all
other war-service workers. This
veteran, however, does not have
preference over a nonveteran em
ploye with permanent status.
Hearings Slated Shortly.
Mr. Rees feels that Government
agencies in some cases aren’t living
up to the spirit of the act. Union
leaders and Government officials
had pointed out, however, that Mr.
Rees’ original provision would have
wiped out the job tenure rights of
permanent status nonveteran em
ployes.
As now being rewritten, the bill
would guarantee the job rights of
career people in the Government
and at the same time make sure
veterans are given the rights they
are entitled to under the law. The
new bill is being drafted by Mr.
Rees’ own committee staff.
Hearings on the revised measure
will begin shortly by a subcommit
tee under the chairmanship of Rep
resentative Vursell, Republican, of
Illinois.

Amnesia Victim identified
As Navy Man's Wife
Montgomery County police at
Bethesda late yesterday identified
a 25-year-old amnesia victim as
Mrs. Gloria Wilde, wife of a Navy
chief petty officer.
Mrs. Wilde, who was hospitalized
Monday night after she fell in front
of the Bethesda Post Office, today
remained in Suburban Hospital,
where she still is suffering from loss
of memory.
Her husband, Vincent Parker
Wilde, is a medical patient at the
nearby Naval Medical Center.
The man was located by Detec
tive Corpl. John Leahy of the Be
thesda station, after hearing the
girl mention a hospital and a lobby.
Mrs. Wilde has lived in the 5500
block of Wisconsin avenue since
coming to Bethesda from New York
about a month ago, police said.
Army 6-Engine Jet Plane
Reported Nearly Finished
ly th« Aiteciotwl Press
BALTIMORE, April 16.—The Bal
timore Sun said today that the
Army Air Forces’ most revolution
ary-type bomber, powered by six jet
engines, would be ready soon for
its first flight from the Middle
River plant of the Glenn L. Martin
Co.
Both the War Department and
Martin Co. officials refused either
to confirm or deny the report that
the plane, known as the XB-48, was
being prepared for its first flight
test, the Sup stated. It is believed
to be the first six-jet bomber in
aviation history, the newspaper
added.
The Sun said the aircraft was
believed capable of 500-mile-an
hour speed, equivalent to that of
first-line fighter planes of World
War II, and a range of “more than
1,000 miles” with a 10-ton load.
If the latter characteristic “is
true,” the Sun reported, “then the
XB-48 in all probability could be
used to carry atomic bombs.”

Black Market Was Big Problem
For Hitler in War, Notes Show
By th» Auocioted frm* ,
FRANKFURT, April 16.—Germany
had a black market long before the
Allied armies arrived — and Adolf
Hitler found the problem just as
baffling as present day officials.
This was disclosed in an intimate
conversation between the Fuehrer
and SS Leader Heinrich Himmler,
the official transcript of which was
found by the American Army.
The tone of their talk near Bad
Nauheim December 28, 1944, bears
a marked resemblance to that often
heard in Allied countries and Ger
many since the war.
"It is significant that there is a
continuous chain of shady opera
tions going on,” Hitler began.
“In Germany we collect old rags,
but from the front lines all sorts of
textiles flow back into the home
land. You can visit tens of thou
sands or hundreds of thousands of
households in Germany and every
where you find army equipment.”
Himmler complained: "Millions of
blankets have disappeared.”
Hitler: “How does that happen?
I suppose that men who lost every
thing in the air war just think, ‘I
must look after my wife,’ and so
sends the blankets home. Or they
take three blankets with them on
leave and return with only two.
Everybody pretends not to know
anything about It because they are
doing the same thing.”
Himmler: “The penalty that a few
fold price must be paid for every
blanket (270 marks) does not scare
them off. They willingly pay it be
cause they say that price is cheap.
They are much more expensive in
the black market.”
Hitler: “At home they pay more
than 270 marks lor a blanket. Con*
sequently, sokMsr doesn’t lose
anything. Ho just takes another
two blankets, sells them on the black
market and gets more than enough
to pay the 270 marks."
The transcript makes no mention
of tiie two German leaders finding
anything that they could do about it.
