WILLIS WANTS 'RACE-JOB PROBE
Asks Report in 90 Days on Reconversion Effect.
Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, April 9.-8Sena-
tor Raymond E. Willls (R. Ind.) yesterday introduced a senate resolution to investigate the effect of reconversion on employment of minority groups, particularly Negroes.
It provides for appointment of five senators as a special committee dnd a staff to carry on the work. Appointments would be made by the president pro tem of the senate and Senator Willis, according to custom,
would be a member, The committee would be charged with presenting a report not later than 90 days after it is set up. In presenting the resolution, Senator Willis said:
“During the war, there. was a sharp increase in employment- opportunities for millions of workers, in which our colored citizens shared in large numbers. During this period there was a great shift in population during which hundreds of thousands of Negroes and citizens of other minority groups migrated to war industry manufacturing centers, ’ New Migration “During the reconversion period, which now is in progress, large numbers of members of minority groups have again been forced to migrate in search of employment.
There has been a down grading of workers in many industries and it may be that minority groups have been the chief sufferers in this process.
“It may be that the innate sense of fairness of Americans has resulted in less Injury to minority groups than many feared would happen in the reconversion problem.
“Recently the senate debated at length the fair employment practices bill, which was stymied by a succesfsul filibuster. tion again will be considered and it may be desirable for congress to consider other measures affecting the economic future of our colored citizens. “In order that the investigation which I proposéd should not be blamed for the delay of consideration of the fair employment practices bill, or other legislation, I have provided in the resolution that the committee shall make a report to the senate within 90 days after its appointment.” :

THE STORY S0 FAR MONA SHANE, at her mother's in. sistence, accepts an invitation to RUSSEL BRETHERTON'S - dinner party where she meets JAY CAMERON. The Shanes are at their Carmel beach cottage—~where Mona's father, PATRICK
really enjoys himself. He has invited MixE O'BRIEN to breakfast the next rning. « x Russel gets a phone call demanding his presence elsewhere and asks Jay to take Mona home, Old Wong, the Chinese cook, looks on .disapprovingly.
Mona likes Jay very much and accepts a date to go riding with him the next noon. .
Her father warns her against him ut a determines to see him when e
= That same day Russel stops by, sure prises Mona by proposing marriage. Mona goes with Jay repeatedly without lett her parents discover it, Finally Pat sees her getting out of Jay's oar and being kissed as she leaves him. Pat connives to leave Mana alone with Mike, who advises her against Jay, admits a strong attraction to her himself. Jay doesn’t call, During the weekend at Carmel, Russel drops in, Mrs. Shane all about Jay, what he tells Mona—that Jay is seeing a secretary at the office regularly, 00. Jay denies there is any love between he and JEAN ROBERTS, the secretary, and asks Mona to marry him. He says he must leave town for six weeks, after which they will have the wedding. Back home Mona calls Jay. tells her there's nothing to the secretary story, asks her to marry him. She agrees to marry him as soon as he returns from a six-week business trip, Jay returns, calls Mona and she tells her horrified mother she is going to marry him. Her father is away overnight,
CHAPTER 14 MONA’S LAST thought before going to sleep had been “Tomorrow I'll see Jay.” She had slept deeply, dreamlessly floating back to consciousness the next morning to the sound of her mother’s voice. “Wake up, up.” The girl sat in bed rubbing her eyes like a child, her hair falling like a dark soft cloud about her lovely face. Josephine stood before her holding a newspaper in her hand. An expression of righteous
indignation was on her face as she said, “Listen to this. J. W. Cameron was divorced yesterday in Reno from his wifé, Edith Cameron, 1110 Vallejo st. an engineer with the Apex Steel

“It's the Apex Steel Co,” her mether repeated. “Yes, I know it's the same company, - but couldn't there be two engineers with the same name?” “Working for the ‘same company with not only the same name but the same initials?” “But.-Mother, I asked him if he was the J. W. Cameron listed in the telephone directory and he said he wasn’t. Jay has an apartment on Post st. He gave me his number. I've even called him there.” ” n n
“THAT'S quite possible, too,” her mother reminded her. “Especially if he’s been having trouble with his wife.” His wife? Mona lay back on her pillows, feeling dizzy and ill. The palms of her hands were cold and wet. She felt as if her spinal cord had become paper. There was no strength in her. “I asked him if he was married that first day,” she murmured as if talking to herself. “And what did he say?” “He said no. At least that’s what he implied.” Mona recalled pain-| fully. “What he actually said was| that’ he had no more liking for| matrimony than I did.” | ” »
“THAT WAS a fine statement] for you to make to a man who you had just met.” | “I didn’t mean it that way,” Mona said wearily. “I told him I didn’t like married men; that I could never be interested in another | woman's husband.” “Yet it appears you are on the| verge of marrying one, He must] have gotten a divorce because of you,” i “T still don’t believe it,” Mona insisted. “There must be a mistake. Maybe the paper . . .” » 2 ”
“AND IF there is no mistake? What then, Mona?” | All the color drained from her face as Mona answered: “If it's true—if he is the one—I'll never | speak to him again.” This seemed to satisfy her mother, | who determined to do some inves-| tigating of her own during her husband’s absence. She would go; {to Mike O'Brien's office and ask| thim to find out the truth. Although she did not share her {husband's admiration for the young |district attorney, she would not {hesitate to make use of him. In {the meantime Mona was safe.

WASHINGTON, April 9.—The medical service of the veterans’ administration has been under fire for several months. Here are some questions regarding recent improvements and changes in the service: Q—My husband is in a hospital with an ailment he contracted in the army. Now they say they may have to take out all his teeth. Will the government pay for that, too? A—The government has in the past been very liberal in this type of case, where another physical disability contributes to one that is service-connected. In all probability, the government will pay for the removal of your husband’s teeth, if the doctors decide that is necessary. : Q—My husband came back from the Pacific with malaria, which sometimes makes him awfully sick. We are several hundred miles from the nearest Veterans’ Administra~

tion hospital. Can we call a local doctor and have the government pay the expense when an attack! comes? A—Yes. Your husband's disability is service-connected, so payment can be arranged. Contact | the nearest VA office, by telephone if necessary, when your husband | has these attacks. VA will approve | immediate local care, and will later adjust the claim.
Q—Our neighbor is a veteran, and he gets free attention from the same doctor we go to. My husband is also a veteran, yet when he broke his leg last week and called the doctor, he had to pay. Is this fair? A—The only way your neighbor | could get free care from a private! doctor is by having received a! disability while in service,

TIMES oi
THE UNSPEAKABLE cad — Jay Cameron—was still out of the city. And one thing about Mona, if she gava her word not to see him again, she would keep it.
All the time her mother was dressing to go out, Mona lay in her bed. She felt too ‘weak to get up. She watched the sun spilling across her dressing table, sparkling on the mirrors an perfume bottles wondering how the day could be so bright. Telling herself it ocouldn’t be - true. Jay's letters had been mailed from the east. If he loved her, he could not have deceived her.’ Some way even now, in «spite of that brief revealing notice, in the paper, he would be able to explain. » n n IT WAS noon before she rose and dressed. Her mother had gone, making no explanation. Mona drank a cup of coffee, washed the dishes, made the beds. She was sitting in the library before a fireless fireplace when the telephone rang. It was Jay. Without asking whether or not she ‘had seen the paper, he said urgently, “May I
oo come away?” She answered, “Yes!” Nothing else was said What she had to ask him must wait until she could see his face. She returned to her chair to sit absolutely motion= less until he arrived. s 5 8 =... : LIKE ONE in a trance she walked to the door, opened it, and stepped aside for him to enter, speaking not one word. Jay's face seemed strange to her. His dark, dark eyes were anxious. It was obvious that he was uncertain of his reception. But when they were in the library he tried to take her in his arms crying: “Dearest, don't look at me like that. At least give me a chance to explain.” She held him away from her saying, “All you have to tell me is that you are not J, W, Cameron.” “But I am,” he groaned. “Oh, Mona, if you knew what I've gone through to keep you from finding out. Not because I wanted to deceive you,. darling! ' Only because I knew you wouldn't have anything to do with me if you realized that I was married.”
