The veteran. or rather 87 of him and her. with their preference only managed to capture 87 out of the many jobs in the Government service that pay more than $3.200 a year. and which might begin remotely to be those points where " inefficiency " might begin at least to effect that impairment so loudly wailed over. In certain of its services the Federal Government stresses its desire to have veterans. Consequently more than 500 went into the prohibition enforcement service and the Immigration and Customs Services absorbed nearly 600. and 488 became guards at various places particularly desiring men with military experience. In the light of these facts as herein above enumerated. your petitioner is decidedly of the opinion. and prays that you concur in it. that the service men and women of the country who have entered the Federal employ constitute a loyal group whose devotion to their country has been tested in a stern fashion and whose willingness to serve is as far above question as it is possible for motives to be. Service men and women generally can not help but be resentful over the backhanded compliments that are paid them by those who at the same time are seeking to deprive them of benefits granted to them by law under their beloved Republic.
