COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS VETERANS
BUREAU CANCEL ITS CONTRACTS
Rehabilitation Work Declared To Be Failing To Obtain Results Com
mensurate With Its Large Expenditures"

900 approved applicants for vocation
al training up to last July !, only
$3.50 have been rehabiltated, 100000
having entered training up to that
date.
OF the $4,000 eligible for training
without pay who have not entered
training, the committee found that a
vast majority had not done so be-
cause of their inability to support
themselves without pay" The chief
recommendation of the committee in
the vocational phase of the work was
Standardization of training courses,
while permitting the applicant to Sc
lect as far as possible his own Yoca-
ton.
Other administrative reforms rec
commended by the committee includ-
ed issuance of rules and regulations
for the maintenance of order and dis
cipline, frequent and thorough inspec-
ton of hospitals and elimination Of
politics from appointments and ex-
penditure of funds for disqualification
without reference to "insistent but ill
advised local demands or political
interference" of any sort.
