O Your GI Rights
Problems of Men
In Service
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
WASHINGTON (NEA) Here
are some questions from former
federal employes in the service
and veterans who are interetsed
in getting on the U. S. payroll:
Q. As a veteran, what rights
do I have for reinstatement in
the government if my former Job
has been reallocated, or reclassi
fied while I was in the service?
A. If your former position has
been re-evaluated to a higher
level without substantial change
in duties and responsibilities, you
are entitled to all benefits of the
reallocation. If the position has
.been reallocated to a lower grade
without substantial change in du
ties and responsibilities, you have
a mandatory right of restoration
to that position. However, if
there exists a position which you
are qualified to fill, of like sen
iority, status and pay to that of
the position which you held a',
the time you entered the service,
you should be assigned to that
job.
Q. Are members of reservp
corps units entitled to preference
for jobs in the federal govern
ment? A. Yes, upon furnishing proof
that they have performed active
duty for other than training pur
poses and have been honorably
separated from such service.
Q. Who has the authority to
decide whether 1 a mfit physical
ly to return to my former gov
ernment job?
A. This r e s p o n sibility rests
with the appointing officer. Den
ial of reinstatement in a job for
a physical disability must be on
the grounds that the disability
makes performance of duty im
possible, or reduces job efficiency
to a level below what is norm
ally acceptable.
Q. Does the son of a man kill

'Rainbow Island'
Saga of Sarongs,
Songs, Comedy
The tropical magic of the South
Sea islands brought to the screen
of the Liberty theater, starting
today in Paramount's "Rainbow
Island," technicolor extravaganza
starring Eddie Bracken, Dorothy
Lamour and Gil Lamb.
Into this paradise, Bracken,
Lamb and handsome Barry Sulli
van arrive in precarious circum
stances. Formerly isolated on a
barren isle, the trio escaped In
a Jap plane after the yellow men
had landed to take them prison
ers. The natives of Rainbow is
land, therefore, believe the Amer
icans to be enemy marauders. A
head-chopping ceremony is order
ed by Ann Revere, as Queen Oka
lana, but Bracken's resemblance
to the idol god, Momo, saves the
day.
Thereafter, the natives feast
and wine the supposedly. heaven7
sent visitors. However, Lamour,
an American girl who's been mc
rooned with' her father on Rain?
bow island since childhood, seeks
passage back to civilization with
the sailous. The resultant, prt
ceedings provide no end of merriment.

Lawn Mowers
Prewar Versus Postwar
Will Curry Isn't falling for
those pictures of a postwar life
of ease. He was sweating over
his lawn mower the other day,
when somebody shows him pic
tures of n mower that runs un
der Its own power.
"Shucks," says Will, "I like a
lawn mower that gives you sonio
backtulk and exercise. It gets
the old blood circulating and
works up a wonderful thirst.
"Then," Will adds with-wist,
"there's nothing in tlio wholo
world that tastes as good as a
cheorful glass of beer!"
: From where I sit, there's a lot
of good sense In what Will says.
A little honest effort never hurt
anybody. And there should be
more to our post-war plans than
bow to mage Ufa comfortable
and easy.' . .
Outdoor work -work yon do
with your hands and your back
-ought to bo part of everybody's
post-war plans. And on a hot
day, as Will says, there's always
that sparkling glass of beer as a
reward!
