0DT LIFTS BAN ~ ON SPORTS TRAVEL

is not an invitation to indulge in widespread travel, the ODT said that if the railroad situation should change for the worse, the whole situation might have to be reviewed again.

The ban on auto racing, designed to prevent waste of critically needed gasoline during the war, was ended yesterday. A series of other restrictions also were lifted yesterday by ODT, including the orders freezing the number of taxicabs and limiting their daily mileage, the orders regulating rental cars and the ban on state and regional fairs,

Rail Bans Stand

The 35-mile speed limit was imposed in September, 1942, to preserve rubber. and has been administered by the states. The governors of Maryland and Virginia have already called for its prompt termination. The outlook for civilian travel on railroads is not very promising, although V-J day will probably bring an easing of freight traffic, he added. Regulations of passenger railroad travel include a ban on overnight sleeper service, elimination of summer trains, and a five-day limit on Pullman reservations. Day coaches, too, are now ot the disposal of the army. The ODT said rescinding of such restrictions depends entirely on the army's redeployment program.

Mr, Newill said Allison has been ordered by the AAF to continue building jet engines for the gest of this year and into 1946 at a monthly rate greater than the schedule for this month, although not. at the huge production rate planned if Japan had still been fighting. 20% Layoff in 30 Days Within the next 30 days Allison expects to lay off the 20 per cent of its working force not needed now, as a result of cancellations of contracts for spare parts and engine overhaul of the liquidcooled engines it made throughout most of the war and which bear its name. Othere manufacturers, which use Allison-made bearings, also are expected to cancel their orders. The jet engines Allison will make will continue to be the model that powers the army's P80 Shooting Star, as the navy has cancelled its contract for ‘a much smaller number of jet engines for a new airplane.

JOBS PROBLEM PLACED AHEAD

Veterans’ Seniority Rights Are Hotly Debated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (U. P). ~—Super-seniority—or whom can the veteran’ bump for a job?—was a hotly debated question today as government agencies sought the road to full employment for returning servicemen. . Meanwhile, the Congress of Industrial Organizations opened labor's drive to obtain pay boosts under the government's newly liberalized wage policy. President Truman announced yesterday that the war labor board will be allowed during the reconversion peribd to permit all voluntary wage increases which do not increase prices and to order such raises as are necessary to "sBeckiye” reconversion.

Drafting Executive Order

The President is now drafting an executive order to this effect. It will clear the way for the WLB to break, discard or ignore the Little ~¢anl formula, which held wartime increases to 15 per cent above January, 1841, levels. C. I. O. President Philip Murray disclosed that all C. 1. O. unions will ‘ask employers for collective bargaining conferences to negotiate higher wages in the light of the President's new policy. Most C. I. O, unions have a clause in their contract permitting reopening the question of wages if the national policy changes. Willing to Continue

Murray also indicated C. I. O.s willingness to continue its no-strike policy during reconversion. He said a meeting of C. 1. O. vice presidents here yesterday adopted a resolution calling on C. I. O. unions and employers to observe their contracts which customarily provide forsno strikes and no lockouts. This resolution was not, however, the unqualified renewal of the wartime no-strike pledge asked by the President. The Presidént has indicated he will summon a labor-management conference. shortly after congress reconvenes Sept, 5. The President said the WLB should be terminated as soon after conclusion of the conference as the orderly disposition of its work and provisions of the war Tabor disputes act permit. On the auestion of elonity; selective service had its opinion ready. It said that under the law a veteran gets a job at his old place of business (assuming conditions haven’t drastically changed) regartless of who must be fired. In three federal district court tests —~forced by labor contracts on seniority—selective service has been upheld, Higher courts have not acted. . A Complex Problem

Supersenjority is a complex problem. Take a veteran who worked three years, served three years in the army, and is now discharged. Say he returns to his old employer. In reclaiming his job is he credited with six years seniority — thus being entitled to bump any man with less than six—or is he in position to get the job even though he displaces a nonveteran hired years before the war? Or suppose he goes back to what was admittedly a temporary job. Does he gét credit for his years in service, with seniority rights over all those hired since he was? Or does he get the job regardless? Or does he get only favorable consideration? Maybe he’ wants to work for a new employer, at a new job. Does

75. he get seniority credit for his years

in service, with the right to oust a man who has been on the job for less than three years? Labor's Plan When selective service put out its now famous memorandum 190-A on May 26, labor unions were quick to protest. Certainly, their top officials proclaimed, veterans should get job preference. In reclaiming

8. 101d jobs they should be credited

with the years they spent in service. But that was as far as labor would go. Under labor's plan a veteran with three years employ~ ment and three years service could, to get his job back, bump any man with less. than six years employment, . If the employer meanwhile had so curtailed his staff as to elim-

CHURCHES PLAN

PEACE SERVICES

All to Observe President's Proclamation.

Indianapolis churches will pray for guidance in a peaceful world and offer praise and thanksgiving for the war's end Sunday in with President Truman's proclamae tion. The church federation and Dr. Howard J. Baumgartel, executive secretary, urge that each ¢tongrega= tion conduct a prayer service in its traditional manner. Many Protestant churches held spontaneous V-J services Wednesday night, and all Catholic churches, Feast of the Assumption masses that morning. Even so, it is expected that “a day of thanksgiving for victory and prayer for God's guidance into ways of peace,” quoting the President, will be observed Sunday by every faith. A few congregations will give their first public expressions of gratitude for victory then, having designated Sunday as a prayer day before the President so proclaimed it. Among these are St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church, the North Indianapolis Baptist (First) church, and Caldwell chapel A ME Z President Truman reminds the pepole of the United States thas after two days of riotous celebration of victory it is time to think of God “who has now brought us to the glorious day of triumph. Le¢ us give thanks to Him and remember that we now, dedicate ourselves to follow in His ways to a lasting and just peace and to a better world.”
