BILL ASKS MILLION
TO AID CRIPPLES

The most far reaching program Of
rehabilitation of physically handi-
capped persons yet considered by Con-
gress is provided in bill introdu sed
in the House today by Congressman
John 1. Nolan, of California.
Mr.. Nolan's bill would encourage
and aid the States in making provi-
sions for the rehabilitation of physi-
caIIy handicapped persons, and for
their placement in remunerative en-
ployment."
The bill carries an initial appro-
priation of $1,OoO,0oO with which to
inaugurate the work, which would
affect the District of Columbia and all
the States.
U. $. to Match Every Dollar.
In a word, the plan is this: The Fed :
eral Government will match eve~y
dollar appropriated by a State legis-
lative body for rehabilitation, pro-
vided the sum is not less than 5000
II is proposed that this work shat
be made an adjunct of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education and
shall be an extension of the voca-
tional training for wounded soldiers
The boards work at the present time
is limited to soldiers, sailors and MA
rines. The Nolan bill WouIo eAIenu II
to include all physically handicapped
persons.
II a person has a physical defect "r
infiFmity, whether congenital or ac-
quired by accident, injury or disease,
he would be. eligible to the training
provided under the Nolan bill
The bill, however, does not apply to
persons less than fourteen years OF
age, or to helpless or aged persons
requiring permanent custodial care,
or to insane and feeble minded per-
sons. or to persons not susceptible y
rehabilitation.
1t is proposed that an existing in
stitution in each of the States be des-
ignated or an institution be created
for carrying on the work of rehahili-
tation. As soon as the physically
handicapped person is taught trade
that would insure him a livelihood re-
munerative employment would be OIL
tanned for him.
