rkers Warned
On Reinstatement Ruling
By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staft Writer WASHINGTON; Feb. 9.-—Vet-erans-who are taking jobs in war plants right-after their release from service are being warned that they will lose their reemployment rights in their former position unless they apply for reinstatement within 90 days. War manpower commission has sent special recruiters to all of ‘army's discharge points to en‘courage the men to get into war work as soon as possible. But this does- pot change the law which says & man must seek reinstatement in the job he had before the war not later than 90 days after his discharge if he expects to keep his legal right to that job. This was recently amended from 40 to 90 days to give a vet eran more time to look around for a possible better job or get into something brand new. And if the current manpower shortage remains acute it is thought that legislation will be introduced to let veterans go into war work for as long as they please without losing their reinstatement rights in their peace-time jobs. Men being relefised from the army on a reserve status to work
‘in critical industry are ‘being asked to sign waivers to their re- ||
employment rights in their for-
A. No work or fight legislation introduced to date puts any control. over world war IT veterans. Q. Can world war II veterans work in a non-essential industry without fear of being ‘put into a labor battalion? A. War manpower comniission’s order freeing all world war II veterans from any kind of job control still stands and officials to date have no plans te change it.
