benefits will get off gladly as soon
as they can find jobs, but 1 guess j
some are meaning to stay on by
one pretext or another and do
not want jobs. i
"I wish I could reach everyone
of these young veterans with the
solemn warning thak those who
hp inined the '52-20 Club' and
are contriving to spend a year in
idleness will find themselves bad
ly handicapped after the year is
over." i
The colonel made it clear he
didn't think he was talking through
his hat.
"Based upon 30 years of expe
rience in the field of government
having to do with employment and
allied matters," he said, "I predict
that when the ride on the gravy
train is over and the rocking chair
collapses, the riders and the rock
ers are going to find that all of the
good jobs are gone.
"They will be held by the vet
erans who went to work at the
bottom and qualified for them.
"And that is as it should be.
Good jobs are for those who work
for them and not for those who
wait for them, marking time while
others are digging in.
"Just living these days is a sort
of warfare," Colonel Fletcher no
ted, "and it is going to be even
more so in the future. Every Gl
who had frontline experience
knows that he had to dig his own
foxhole . Nobody helped him, for 1
everybody else had his own to dig.
'Die Own Foxhole.'
"That is exactly what is happen
ing today. The wise veteran is dig
ging his own foxhole. My advice to
every young veteran is to get a job
and get busy on it. It may not be
what you want, but it may lead
you to what you want.
"Anyway, it is a lot easier, he
observed, "to get a job when you've
got a job than it is when you're
loafing."
Known examples of '52-20 Club'
members' schemes ate as common
as stories of WPA workers. Prac
tically ever community in the na
tion has at least one or two vet
erans on the 52-20 rolls.
In one instance, a former Wat
captain, assigned by the Army as a
personnel officer, declined employ
ment as a bookkeeper, her pre-war
occupation, and lived for 15 weeks
on the VA's $20 per week payments
and terminal leave savings. In an
other case typical of the abuses, a
discharged Army Signal Corp of
ficer, who had worked before the
war as a drugstore clerk, demanded
the benefits or a job .as a radar
specialist.
In both cases, the claimants lack
