VETERANS HOLD
 MASS MEETING
Unity of Ex.Servicemen Stressed Legislation
 Discussed By Leaders

A crowd of more than 200 at Speedwell Hall last night heard sev- eral speakers urge that all ex-ser- vicemen join veterans organizations to protect their own rights. The meeting was arranged by the Vet erans' Council.
 Commander Joseph Russo of Tor rington, head of the Italian -Ameri- can World War Veterans of Conn ecticut, declared that veterans or- ganizations formed along racial lines can do splendid work and can sup plement the work of other groups He said that he himself is an active member of the American Legion. Veterans organizations need the support of every veteran to accom- plish the utmost, he said.
 Legislation affecting veterans and the methods of filing claims were outlined by Frank s. Kline, rehab- ilitation officer of the Disabled American Veterans. He recommen- ded that every veteran with a ser- vice-connected disability file a claim for compensation. Many vet erans delay, he said, only to have their widows left unable to prove their claims after their death.
 Mir. Kline explained that the amount of proof that the disability was service connected has a great deal to do with the compensation given by the government. All pos sible proof should be presented, he said.
 State Commander Martin Hor- witz of New Britain, head of the Jewish War Veterans, declared that the interests of veterans can best be served by collective action. He said that most members of the JWV were also members of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the Disabled American Veterans.
 Michael Giordano, head of the Veterans Council, presided. Com mander William schneer of the Wheeler Young Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, presented the speak CTS.
 Refreshments and entertainment were enjoyed after the meeting Commanders were guests at a turkey dinner at Brophys Tivoli restaurant. Songs were offered by Harry Cash- in's quartet.

White Collar Jobs
 Desired By Youths
State Department of Education Faced With Serious Problem-7O,OOO Young People Idle in Connecticut

Hartford, Conn. May 2.--tUP)-- One of the principal causes of un- employment among American youths today is an almost unanimous de- sire for white-collar jobs, the state department of education research division reports.
 Parents, as well as young people, have entertained professional and white-collar aspirations running be- yond all possibility of available op- portunity," the division reports in survey made for the Connecticut Youth Council.
 Out of the 100000 youths in Con- necticut, the survey asserts, ap- proximately 10000 are looking for Jobs, but cannot find them. The rest have either continued their educa- ton, are living at home or are en- ployed.
 The department feels that the widest field for absorbing unem- ployment lies in the unskilled and seni.skilled occupations, because the development of tho training courses has not yet produced Q solution to the problem,
 Facilities Essential
 Increased facilities for voca. tional training are desirable and essential but if our state trade schools were expanded several hun dred per cent beyond their present facilities, and were to undertake all or most of the skilled trade train. ing in this state, this would touch not more than s or 10 per cent or the unemployed youth problem" the report says. :.
 But, 1t adds, the institution of "long- term systematic training pro- grams for youth in industry" would probably result in all Increased de- lnand for their services by business With the cooperation of Connccti. cut industry. the council hopes that apprenticeships will be established with provisions made to retain youth during the slack periods.
 Industry, It was observed, might find it profitable to hire 10 to 20 per cent more youth than might be absorbed without the training syS- tenn.
 "While in school, many young sters do not realize the importance of studying occupational possible tiles in relation to their own capac- ities and consequently experience considerable shock and bewilder' ment when entering the highly competitive labor market of today Their intense need for dlsinLerested unemotional guidance Of a i,on- commercialized sort, can be met only by means of free public guidance service, carried on ut1- der educational auspices and with adequate professional standards, m close cooperation with the public employment services.
 Closing Gap
 "In coming years the gap. be-. tween schooling and occupat tional realities will be measurably closed. This will not mean that the school will forget It's main purpose. which is the development of individual personality but rather that this pur- pose will take on e new, broader and more realistic meaning greater

 since 1884, the state has estab- lished four youth and guidance service offices. These bureaus pro. vide assistance in finding employ ment and give advice in securing additional training for specialized jobs. On the whole, according to the report, clients looking for help at these offices are slightly more intelligent than the average for Connecticut youth, but in most cases need more education.
 Among the proposals recommended to relieve the unemployment con. dition were: By means Of national funds provide work projects for q portion of unemployed youth; stim- ulate private employment by means of a state coordinating council with local subsidiary councils or committees; promote new industries in the state, thus creating more job opportunities; extend tho com- pulsory school age to iS; provide old age pensions, thus releasing old. CT workers so that more jobs would be made available for youth; re. duce prices, thus expending dc. mand and creating more jobs; pay higher wages and distribute plir- chasing power more widely. Decen- tralize industry. combine with sub- sistence farming, and put taxation on a scientific basis.
 Tho Connectiut Youth Council was organized for the purpose of drawing together representatives from those groups that are inter- ested in finding Jobs for tho 90 per cent of Connecticut youth which N unemployed. It is composed of twenty five members. acting under tho commissioner of education, and serving without pay. It has been occupied mostly In drawing up ma. tcrial to provide the basis for fu- turc action and in coordinating the activities of the federal agencies, the state apprenticeship council, and private organizations.
