PAGE TEN : REPORTERS OUSTED FROM. "NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (IP) Three American war correspond ebts and one artist accredited to the ninth air force in France have been ordered out of that theater of war "apparently be cause their work has not meas ured up to standards set by publicity minded ninth air force officers in the higher ranks," thp New York Herald Tribune WAR THEATER t: :i ' said today in a copyrighted dis patch. The correspondents were ; Stanley Frank of the New York i! '!j Post, Gordon Gammack of the 4'3f Des Moines Register and Lee McCardell of the Baltimore 6 Sun, and John Grotli, aftist for Parade. - rm "The order is the aftermath if! ': of a long series of threats in- i ;;if dulged in by certain public re- fK'i lations officers of the air force," !;;.; Tlerald Tribune Correspondent o.;! Jack Tait wrote. "Correspond- ! ents have been told that they must confine the bulk of their activities to coverage of ninth , air force, news. Those who did not, it was made clear, would have to seek reassignment else where." The order was signed by Col. Robert Parham, in charge of the air force's public relations, and contained no explanation for the action, the newspaper said. The Baltimore Sun published the accouut of the correspond ents without comment,, but de tailed in a news story some ot the coverage given the air force bv McCardell. At Des Moines, the Register said it had no com ment. The New York Post said in today's issue that it had pro tested both, at Washington ana at suoreme allied headquarters." Frank, a news story said, "paid repeated tribute to our airmen and the excellence of their or ganization. Ten of his recent stories about the ninth air force were listed. Frank's main effort "natur ally," the Post said, was to give "a balanced picture of the battle for France in its entirety. This broad view was obviously too much for the ninth air force press relations group." The war department at Wash ington said it had received no information concerning the cor respondents. ' ; - "T .

VET POSTWAR JOB PROGRAM LOOMS CLEAR By MAX HILL WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (.P) If you had gone around asking people in Washington last winter what the government was going to do about helping war veterans get jobs, you'd have found answers few and far between. But an orderly pattern has loomed through the mist. Ap parently the. government has the whole veteran situation fairly well in hand, and will be reason ably ready to greet the first big swarm of returning soldiers when Germany collapses. The change began when Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershcy, the se lective service director, reor ganized his employment division, installed Col. Paul Griffith as chief and directed him to come to terms with the U. S. employ ment service. - . Cause of the deadlock was that althouah congress had sad dled selective service with the responsibility for employment of veterans, the U. S. employment service, under Manpower Chair man Paul V. McNutt, was sit ting there with 1500 local offices, ready and eager to do the job. For eleven years the USES had maintained a veterans' employ ment service with a represents-. tive in every local office. A formal agreement was reached, dividing the work in this manner: Selective service sees that the veteran gets his job back if the. job is still there and if he wants it If he doesn't, the USES helps him get a new job. However, if he wants to work for a railroad, he goes' to the railroad retirement board; on a farm, to the county agricultural agent; or for the federal govern ment, to the civil . service com mission.'
