Veterans Can
Return To Their
Old Jobs
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24—(/P)—
President Truman said we won’t
permit any veteran to be deprived
of his former job because of a
legal teehnicality. He told a news
conference if additional legisla
tion is needed he will recommned
specific changes to Congress and
in view of the tremendous pres
sure that is certain to be put up
by veterans organizations Con
gress is expected to act quickly.
Of the men who will be out of
service by January first it is es
timated that a million have been
guaraneed by law, the right to
return to their prewar jobs. But
Major General Lewis Hershey, di
rector of selective service brought
out in Boston last night that be
cause of an omission in the pres
net law this legal right expires
“when Congress terminates hos
tilities.”

He Was Only Trying
To Milk A Little Gas
RIO DE JANEIRO—(^—Cat
tleman Irondino Alves Ferreira
was desperately in need of gaso
line—an item of great scarcity in
wartime Brazil—but he knew the
government was concerned over
an acute meat shortage in this
city of 2,000,000. So he proposed
to trade the government 50,000
choice head of cattle a month for
1,000 liters of gas.
Meat is still rationed in Rio,
and Cattleman Ferreira, as far as
is known, still needs gas.
