Civil-service officials pointed out, meantime, that despite the provisions in the President's order, a disabled veteran is entitled to open up any job register which has been closed by merely making application. .If qualified for the job, the veteran is inimechately placed at the head of the list, CAPITAL MERRY-GO-ROUND: Former OPA chief Leon Henderson tas been assigned to handle economic affairs in the U.S.-controlled area of occupied Germany and will leave for Europe next week Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones LEON HENDERSON sent to Congress the Civil Aeronautics Administration's national-airport plan calling for the construction of 3.000 new fields and the improvement of 1,625 existing fields.
