Servicemen Free to Seek Any Civilian Job After Policy Lift
Washington dispatch reports the government lifted all manpower controls for veterans, enabling 1.5 million discharged service members to pursue any civilian job. The move removes statements of availability and priority requirements, with service women also exempt. Veterans may be hired without employment ceilings and will receive USES referrals by right to any job of their choice. The policy aims to speed reemployment and remove obstacles to civilian life. In a separate note, John Jones of Hagerstown was jailed four months for larceny from a depot washroom, and Thomas P. Phopus bought the W. C. Brown property at Fairground and Locust for 10,050 after a court sale.
