ment of disabled service men "un-

relating to slavery" was charged by
Director Forbes of the veterans bur

first meeting Of the bureaus district
managers.
Col. Forbes criticised in detail the
system by which service men had
been placed in training and in the
course Of his address and later
through a formal statement issued
from the veterans bureau announced
the disapproval Of contracts held by
80 schools and individuals for train
ing those disabled in the world war.
In this connection, he told the dis
trict managers that in numerous
cases they had been dereHct in their
duty.
You men had no records OF the
training history Of the men," he as
serted. You should have had this
information, but I had TO dig It out
for myself at an additional expense.

The soldier rehabilitation division
Of the federal board for vocational

encountered and a project in south
