Former Officers Do Not
Get Preferential Placement
HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT—“A veteran is a
veteran to the United States Em
ployment Service, and reports
that we are giving former officers
the breaks on placements in civil
ian jobs are just plain bunk.”
That's what Paul V. McNutt, of
the War Manpower Commission,
said recently when asked about a
charge that WMC’s United States
Employment Service was discrim
inating against former enlisted
men in job placements.
McNutt, a veteran of World War
I and former national commander
of the American Legion, labeled
the report a gross misinterpreta
tion of the Commission’s policy.
“Discrimination in any form is un
American,” he said, “and we want
every man and woman in the
services to known that there is no
discrimination in the War Man
power Commission.
We don't care what a man’s
rank was in the military service.
We give veterans first priority on
all job referrals, regardless of
rank. The United States Employ
ment Service ha-: already found
nearly 1,000,000 jobs for veterans
of this war. Last month alone it
placed veterans in 100,739 jobs.
We want all service personnel to
| know that we have devoted a
I great deal of time and energy to
developing a job counseling and
placement service for them.”
Mr. McNutt called attention to
the fact that at each separation
center a United States Employ
ment Service interviewer is avail
able to give servicemen general in_
j formation about job opportunities
in the nation as a whole, skills re
i quired and employment probabil
! ities in various occupations, and
services available at the local
j United Stages Employment Serv
. ice offices and the location of the
1,725 offices, which are the job
centers of the community.

Jap Surrender
Cabinet Resigned
Today
. TOKYO, . Oct. 5——Japan’s
post surrender cabinet quit today
because it couldn’t, or wouldn’t,
enforce General MacArtnur’s rev
olutionary freedom policy and
oust its Home Minister. Jap news
papermen said Foreign Minister
Yoshida might be the new Pre
mier.
Hirohito accepted the resigna
tions of Prince Higashi Kuni and
his entire cabinet with the com
ment: “That is good.” He made it
' clear he would ask General Mac
Arthur’s approval prior to the
appointment of the next Premier.
Yoshida, a career diplomat, told
Jap interviewers “It is not I” but
they said he “always was foxy
and wouldn’t admit it beforehand
anyway.” They said he made a
'visit to the Imperial palace today
and made two calls to General
1 MacArthur’s headquarters which
. indicated his selection and ap
proval.
