PLAN TODOUBLE a :,
 REHABILITATION
Vocational Training for Soldiers and Sailors to Be Increased With
 Opening of Colleges
By Associated Press

Washington, August 30.-Plans to more than double the number of discharged soldiers, sailors and marines receiving rehabilitation training were announced today by the federal board of vocational education. The increase will be made at the fall opening of schools and colleges. More than 1000 men are now receiving training.
 There have been delays in carrying tion," said the boards statement, "but most of them have been due to causes which were beyond the control of the board and which it has made unceasing effort to remove.
 Probably six months elapsed after the passage of the rehabilitation act before the agents of the federal board were ad- mitted to the military and naval hos pitals. This exclusion was a necessary war measure; but during this period. as we'll as during the IA months which elapsed between our entering the war and June 27 1918, when the act became law, thousands of disabled men were discharged and were scattered all over the United States without any knowledge of their rights under the law. Alto gether, more than year and half of precious time was lost
 Under the terms of the rehabilitation act the federal board could put no dis ableda man in training until after he was declared compensable by the war rick insurance bureau. The amendment curing this difficulty. and allowing prompt acton by the federal board did not become law till July Il, 1919.
 "The board has made excellent pro- gress, for on August it had established contact with GOO of the 160000 men reg istered, had surveyed nearly 1OS,000 and had approved over 12,000 cases for train ing and had put 71s2 men in training.
 Those men, as of July 26, were in 449 public ana private secondary schools, in 159 institutions of college grade and in s6s industrial and other plants. They are being trained for 1888 different lines of activity, and by utilizing existing means of training rather than creating new schools for rehabilitation, the men are being better trained and millions of dol lars have ben saved to the United States Since legislation giving the board free hand did not pass until July. when most schools and colleges are closed. the full measure of training activity cannot be reached until the latter part of Septem- Der. At that time the present number in training will be much more than douhled"
