Black said he was in the emergency cabin talking with Cmdr. George Philips, the skipper-, about plans for the trip home. They were to deliver a last bit ol harassing lire at the Okinawa capital of Saha before departure. -I heard the sound of a plane across our bow," said Black. "We started toward the bridge and the next thing I remember I was on top of the firecontrol box on top of stack number one above the bridge.

-The plane had hit us on the forward deck, and there was fire there. I could see the wounded Ijing around. The skipper had been killed instantly by the explosion. I was dazed." Black and'Gaylor, assistant gunnery officer, crawled to the main deck where the wounded were being treated. Within ten minutes a crewman rushed up and told Black that the ship was beginning to flood in the engine room.

Black ordered the crew to leave the Twigg. "Other destroyers and L.C.I.S. R-ere alongside and we had no worry about, not being picked up," he declared. are not "veterans. Ma or Marvin Inge Honored by France Major Marvin E.

Washington, C.

Veterans will not only have to file an application for a job, but they should make doggone sure they also file a completed preference form, so that when they are being rated they will get a preferred rating, after their for many jobs, will be' the next step following Lhe application. Right here I want, to sneak in the comment that there! are two kinds of 'assembled" and "unassembled." For some jobs the applicants go to an examination room and take a written test. That's an assembled examination. But often there is no written examination. Competitors are rated according to the facts shown, on their experience, past service, education and training.

That's unassembled. And there are many government jobs with competition open only to veterans custodians, caretakers, dam tenders, elevator operators, building guards, forest guards, messengers, patrolmen, ship-keepers and The Chemical Warfare Service, a a few others.

He, like Tom, can be examined for a. rating and his name will go on the' list. Hnrry Is a non-veteran. He has no preference. Therefore, lie can't even be examined for a- rating, until the next time regular examinations are to be held for that or a similar type job.

Both Tom anil Dick get a mark of 70 per cent on the examination. Tom's five point preference brings his rating from. 70 per cent to 75 per cent. This also places his name above and on the list, since if a veterans and some non-veterans have the same ratings, the veteran's name will be entered on the list ahead of the other names. Meanwhile, Dick's mark Is raised from 70 per cent to 80 per cent because he has a 10 point preference.

His name goes- to the top of the list. It would go to the top even though there were other non-disabled veterans with ratings of 85 per cent or 90 per cent or better.

Whether it's a.writ- ten one or whether its an examination of the applicant's qualifications, each competitor is give a a rating. It must be 70 per cent or above or the competitor's name won't go on the list lo for appointment. After the rating is determined, all veterans' ratings are increased by five points, unless they claim and can prove a. service- connected disability. Then the in- crease is 10 points and the disabled veterans' name goes to the top of the list.

To show how: this works out. I suggest we assume that Tom, Dick and Harry want to compete for the same government job. But they find the examination has closed and is concerned with scientific research, technical with development, procurement and supply of all offensive and defensive' weapons and agents within chemistry.
