April 17 (AP) —Henry Ford promised war veterans priorities on post-war Jobs in his vast enterprises to¬ day, and the house voted over¬ whelmingly to give them the first call on all government pay¬ rolls. Ford, whose plants now hire 180,000 war workers, said vet¬ erans will get the preference when the war ends because "people have made a lot of mon¬ ey out of this war and the serv¬ Seniors . . . icemen have made nothing.-' The Ford companies have 25,000 Order your caps ami workers in the armed services. gowns now. He made the pledge in a let-" ter to Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hincs, director of veterans' retraining and re-employment, and said he hoped other companies will do the same thing. Under present law employers are required to rehire war-ab¬ sent workers and give them their old jobs as far as possible. * Shortly after Ford's letter be-' came public the house voted 312 to 1 to give war veterans, their wives and widows, the top prior¬ ity in filling government jobs after the war. The bill, introduced by Rep. Starnes (O-Ala), had the back¬ ing of President Roosevelt who told a congressional committee the government should set an No Deposit Necessary employment example for pri¬ vate industry.
