46.OOO EX-sERVICE
 MEN IN TRAINING

Washington, Dec. lS-Ihe numper of ex-service men entered in training during the past fiscal year has in creased from 3,606 to over 46,000, it was announced today by R. T. Fisher. chief of the rehabilitation division of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, in commenting upon the boards fourth annual report to Con- gross.
 "There has been much adverse criticism,' he continued, "but it is only fair to say that much of this has originated either from lack of knowl- edge on the part of critics or from conditions over which the board had no adequate control, and that these conditions now have been largely cor rected."
 There are at the present time, he said, about 1,700 schools and colleges throughout the country giving train ing to men in courses approved by the board. Selection of men for training now rests entirely with the 100 district and local offices and this decentralization policy has greatly eliminated the "red tape" formerly attendant upon these selections, he claimed.
 On December 1, he said, the rec ords showed that 94,OOo men had been approved as eligible for training with maintenance pay, and 66,00O without such aid.

Service Men s  Bonus On
 Senate

Washington, Dec. 1s-The Senate Finance committee met today to de- the question of adjusted compensa- tion to service men. The possibility of immediate action on the measure, which has been passed by the House. was considered by the members of the committee as remote.
 The question of finance will be the determining factor in the matter If a plan can be devised by which the government will not be obligated to pay large sums of money for sev- era1 years, it is believed the commit tee will take some action.
 Several members of the committee expressed favor with the adjusted service certificate plan which calls for certificate which will be held by the world war veteran for three years before he can obtain any money. At the end of that time he can borrow to ninety per cent. of the current value of the certificate.
 This plan which is emodied in the bill passed by the House is consider ed to be one of the plans wrich might prove feasible from a financial stand point. It is also lookeA upon by the committee as the most acceptable to the service man who ecould not col feet the full amount of the cash bonus until two and one-half years after the passage of the bill.
 Some of the proposals which are before the committee, are:
 Adjusted service pay of one dollar per day after the first sixty days of service, payable in ten quarterly installments, with an added bonus for foreign service.
 Adjusted service certificates with a face value of the amount of the original cash payment plus forty percent. The certificates would bt payable in twenty years with inter est at four and one-half percent com 1 pounded. Nineyt percent of the cur rent value would be borrowed at an.
 time during the third and fourth yea | of the certificate and eighty percen | at any time. thereafter. 1 The entire ann ount would be pay i able in case of death. Officers above captain in army an marines and above 1ieutenants in tn | navy not eligible.
 Vocational training with compen
 sation at S1.75 per day to the amour equal cash bonds plus forty pc
 cent.
 Payment of 40 per cent. of basi cash to aid in purchase of city o country home.
 Establishment of land sett1emer
 with bonus to equip tract equal to 14 per cent. of basic cash bonus.
 Another plan includes ~ basic bonu
 of $500.
 Several plans for granting land i
 urban sections also bave been sub mitted.
