TWELVE______ _ RAINS SOAK EAST HALF OF NATION By the Associated Press Rain fell over much of the east ern half of the country Tuesday while in Pennsylvania and parts of the Great Lakes region snow was reported. With the exception of New Eng land and the northern plain states temperatures generally moved above the freezing mark. The mer cury was around 60 degrees during the day over most of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and on the eastern seaboard.

Here are some ques- ( tions regarding this right to a job: Q_When I enlisted in the Ma rine I was a lifeguard at a swim ming pool during the summer. I am in college now and want the job back next summer but they say the already have enough guards lined up. Do I have a legal right to the job? A—The law says the job you left had to be permanent in order to have a legal right to it when you return from service. On the basis that your former job was only for the summer it appears you don't have a legal claim on it. Q—Before 1 was drafted I worked in a men’s store. I planned to go to college some time after I got out of high school but wasn’t sure just when. Now I can go to college and have it paid for by the government. But I have to have my old job back on a part-time basis. The boss says I either work Cull time for him or not at all. What is the law on this point? A—Your particular problem has never been before a court for a clear-cut decision. But the lav/ says you have to be able o ful fill the duties of your old job the same as you did before the war in order to have a claim to it. It would seem that if you weren’t able to be there all the time, you wouldn’t be flfilling all the du wouldn’t be legally required to rehire you. The best thing for you to do is take yor case to your draft board. Q—When I returned from the Navy the man who had my old job was in the middle of a big project and 1 agreed to let him finish be fore I took over. It took him more than three months to finish the job and now they say I waited too long. Is this true? A As long as you applied for your discharge, you are legally reinstatement within 90 days after entitled to your old job back if you meet the other quanifications.

Col. Donald N. Yates, chief < the AAF weather service, told House - Interstate s u bcommitte Tuesday the frequent forecasts ai necessary in the interest of n< tional defense. MORE ABOUT L1PPMAN FROM PAGE ONE there should be no illusions in Moscow and none here that these questions are parts of a whole which would become of vital in terest to the United States. Ii China lost the control of Man churia, the Chinese would lose the source of the materials which are indispensable to the economic, and therefore to the political, inde pendence of China. It Tito ex panded his Balkan empire intc Trieste—which is the chief south ern port of central Europe — and into Salonika, which is critical foi the independence of Greece, and il the Soviet Union not merely un locked the Dardanelles—which is her right—but projected her mili tary power across the Mediter reanean into Africa and across Irar into the Indian Ocean: if all these things happened togethe, then these would be vital issues which could not be glossed over between the Soviet Union and the United States. J: or we too have a zone or stra tegic security, and the Russian: ought to be the very last people in the world to pretend that the) alone have to consider or need to consider their strategic security In the region where they are now exerting pressure, they canno' claim to be taking precautions against the revival of Pan-Germar aggression. This region is not th( insecute borderland of the twc German invasions of Russia or o: the cordon sanitaire. This is ths buffer and borderline region, be tween the massive land power o the Soviet Union and the se? power of Great Britain and thi United States. At this meeting point power wil have to be stabilized or there wil surely be a destructive contest io influence and a disatrous race o armaments. If the Big Three car not find acceptable limits to thsi military power where they mee1 then—though there be no-war - there will be no peace. For th primary concern of each of th Big Three—and particularly of th U. S. S. R. and the U. S- A.—wl be with strategical advantages an with the development of Ion? range defensive - offensive arm: ment. This race of armaments is bot the effect and a cause of th world’s disorder. It is not yet ser ously under way. But the seriou discussion and the planning of are in fact under way. That i how the outside world is con pelled to read Stalin’s speech. J he did not mean what we undei stand him to mean—and “Pravda says he didn’t—then the sooner 1 explains what he did mean, th better. If the speech does nc mean that the Russian people ar now being asked to accept fiftee JV-UIO UJ. 1U w. velop more quickly the industric base of military power, then wh; are they being asked to accept? * * * That, and not the details of th Bevin-Vishinsky debates, is wha we shall have to discuss with th Soviet Union if there is to be co laboration rather than a race i armaments. In that discussia the Russians will be entitled t ask us about the President’s Nai Day speech, and to explain ou own military plans — why we wai the bases we want, why Congres will be asked to support the kirn of large amphibious armamen which present plans call for. But at least we can say that v have initiated the discussions an that, possessing the most powei ful of all long-range weapons w are seeking not to monopolize o even to exploit it, but to outlai it or at least to regulate it. Oil invitation to the Russians to joi us in examining the problem < the atomic bomb opens up tt _ possibility of a general discussii r 0f all armaments. The resolutic itself covers not only the atom - bomb but all weapons of mass di * struction. f Moreover, in the Military Con mitte of the United Nations — f we all send mil'tary statesmen - a we can discuss the whole problen e of armaments. For in any agrei e ment to provide quotas for polic - I purposes, we can at least info; mally examine all the other mili ACL NORTH-SOUTH SCHEDULES CUT Faster, More Convenient Service To Be Inaugurat ed On Line Sunday Faster and more convenient ser vice to the North and South Will be available to Wilmington travel ers effective Sunday, February, 24, Atlantic Coast Line Traffic depart ment officials revealed yesterday.
