SEEK CIVIL JOBS
Washington, Sept. 8 C0.fi
Many federal empioyes believ
ing the end of the war near
are seeking to transfer from the
war agency Jobs to more secure
civil service positions, It was
revealed today.
Rep, Percy Priest, D., Tenn.,
said Ills mail was filled with
such requests and Chairman
Robert Rnmspeck, D Ga., of
the House Civil Service com
mittee said In an interview that
hundreds now employed by the
army service forces were re
questing transfers brcaiue "they
are now on a 54-hour week'
and want shorter working
hours.
"I don't know what they
think we can do about it,"
Priest said. "They are signed
up In the war agencies for the
duration of the war and six
months afterward."
Priest said this precludes
transfers except in emergency
cases. If a worker quits, he
added, he will lose his civil
service status.

LAUD FREEING OF
Washington, Sept. 8 U.R
The freeing of Brussels was
hailed by Americas two lead
ing statesmen last night as the
deliverance of a freedom-loving
people from "four terrible years
of tyranny" and a challenge that
"never again shall the cities of
the smaller nations resound to
the tread of the aggressors'
marching feet."
President Roosevelt, in a brief
statement made publio by the
White House, said:
"Brussels, the capital of an
other freedom-loving people, has
been delivered from four ter
rible years of tyranny the sec
ond such period In a generation.
"The American people are
filled with admiration for the
Imperturbable conduct of the
Belgian people towards the hat
ed invaders and their unswerv
ing devotion to the ideals which
they share with the people of the
United States and the other
United Nations."
Secretary of State Cordell
Hull, calling Brussels' libera
tion "a symbol of German de
feat, said it was also "a chal
lenge to all peace-loving men
to Insure that never again shall
the cities of the smaller nations
resound to the tread of the ag
gressors' marching feet."
REGIES AC! TO
London, Sept. 8 (U.R) The
exiled Dutch and Belgian gov
ernments were organizing mili
tary and civil missions to their
native countries today as Allied
armies liberated vast sections of
the territory overrun by Ger
man armies four years ago.
With the quick collapse of
their forces In the low countries,
the Germans appeared Increas
ingly uneasy In Denmark. A
Danish press service dispatch
received at Stockholm reported
that they were preparing to re
move considerable administra
tion facilities and most of their
troops and civilians from Copen

hagen to avoid becoming "en'
In the Danish capital.
Plans for establishing Belgian
civil authority in Belgium were
moving rapidly. A Belgian gov-
ernmcntal . mission headed by
ia. uen. van MrydencK De Bur
key already was In France, pre
paring to go to Brussels.
It was announced that King
ueorga had approved the ap'
polntment of Sir Hughe Knatch-,
bull-Hugessen, ambassador to
Turkey as ambassador to Brus

succeeding Sir Lancelot OH
phant. Hugcssrn was succeeded
at Ankara by Sir Maurice Drum

EASES TAX LOAD
New York, Sept. 8 A).R
The Solal Security system of in
surance had the backing today
of Eric Johnston, president of
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
who declared that Social Secur-
ity helps share the burden of
heavy taxes.
"This security system does not
depend on the paternalism of a
super-state," he wrolo In the
Casualty and Surety Journal.
"It Is purely a private matter, ad
ministered by private enterprise.
It does not add to the tremen
dous tax burden but to the con
trary, shares the burden."
Johnston said that many post
war planners outllno elaborate
plans for a "super-Soclnl Secur
ity system. This Is wasted ef
fort," he said, "for under their
very noses . . , America already
has a system of security whose
scope is unique in world history."
