Cost of Supporting Adults in Idleness Is
Balanced Against Later Earning Capacity

them have adopted a second injury
fund" and in these States compen-
sation for the disability resulting
from the combined first and second
injury is paid from the second in
jury fund" The initial rate of
compensation insurance for an EN-
ployer is generally fixed for the in
dustry and the total cost is based
on the number of employees, occupa-
tions and pay roll. No information
is generally required regarding the
physical condition of the employees.
The rate is later adjusted on the
basis of the experience of the COM
pany. The claim that the experience
is poor if handicapped persons are
employed has not been subStantiated.
The Ford Motor Co., as an example
that the contrary is generally true,
employees over 10000 physically
handicapped workers and reports
that ii has the lowest compensation
insurance rate in the automotive in
dustry
One Of the reasons why the seri-
ousress of this social problem has
been minimized is that society has
not realized its extent. In sizing up
the situation, many of us have
thought in terms of the scattered
cripples who have been selling pa
pers or shoestrings on the street
corner or of only those who become
handicapped through infantile pa
ralysis. The plight of the many
thousands who become disabled each
year through diseases and injuries,
both industrial and non-industrial,
has not been fully appreciated.
Defects Shown.
One of the most recent studies on
the prevalence of disabilities was
conducted by the United States Pub
lie Health Service in a national
health survey. From the data gath
cred by this survey it is estimated
that 100000 persons. or more
than one person in six in the United
States, have some chronic disease,
orthopedic impairment or serious
defect of vision or hearing. Of
course, not all of this number need
vocational rehabilitation. 1t is esti-
mated, however, that at least 3,O00.-
600 of this group are in need of self
supporting employment. According
to another estimate. 100000 persons
become permanently handicapped
every year. OF this number, roughly
one out of every eight can be made
Evening star., 1941-04-20

I expenditure for the year 1910 (which
was the highest since the inception
of the vocational rehabilitation pro-
gram was less than S5,000,000.
More emphasis has generally been
placed on the correction of the
physical disability than on the elm
/ ination, insofar as possible, of the
vocational handicap. This partly
explains why not more than 20 per
cent of all handicapped persons ell
gible for training are being vocation
ally rehabilitated. Once the physi-
cal disability has been treated, the
central problem is that of restoring
earning capacity so the handicapped
person may become self-supporting.
When able to earn living and care
for himself and his family, he is no
longer a problem for public or pri-
vate charity. He becomes a social
and economic asset instead of la
bility.
Vocational rehabilitation is ac-
complished by providing for the in
dividual one or more of the follow
ing services: First, vocational guild
ance in the selection of a suitable
type of employment; second, physi-
cal restoration, that is, surgical or
medical treatment when the dis
ability can be reduced or removed,
or provision of an artificial appliance
to restore the impaired function;
third, vocational training in the oc-
cupation at which it has been deter
mined the person can work despite
his handicap; fourth, assistance in
securing employment in the occu-
patton for which the person has
been prepared. These services en-
able physically disabled persons to
fill high-grade positions demanding
ability and experience as well as
other types of jobs. Because of the
scientific treatment of the training
and placement problems of the
handicapped, it is not surprising
to find that this type of worker is
often more successful in his work
than the able-bodied. He is trained
and placed in job where his dis
ability would least interfere with the
performance of the normal duties
required. Experience shows that
certain types of disabilities are
adaptable to certain types of jobs.
This not only reduces to a minimum
the accident risk and its costs, but
also reduces labor turnover.
Record Approved.
The actual performance of handi-
capped persons In large manufac-
turing plant was shown to be very
favorable. A comparison was made
of about 685 disabled workers with
a similar group of non-handicapped
employees doing the same type of
work Registrations, absences and
discharges for cause we're found to be
from 7 to per cent higher among
the non-handicapped, while there
were Sc per cent fewer accidents
among the disabled. A slightly high
er percentage of the disabled (46 per
cent? as compared with the non-
handicapped a per cent? received
increased earnings. |'
To encourage the employment of
disabled workers, most of the States
have adopted second injury provi-
sion in their workmen's compensa-
ton laws. In these States, the en-
ployer of a person who has been
handicapped by previous injury
Is only liable for the disability caused
by the second injury. Fifteen OF

A showdown between govern

Requests from the President of

In some instance workers are
also flouting and defying their

AAA Opens Meeting

The American Automobile AS
ISOLATION starts a four-day meet
ing today at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, with Keep En-
Rolling" as the principal theme.
More than 500 delegates from
the United States and Canada
are attending the thirty-ninth
session ofthe AAA. Thomas p.
Henry, Detroit, who is president
of the AAA, called Upon all mo-
florists to cooperate in the war
on waste in opening the conven-
ton.
"Whatever curtailment may
be necessary In new-car pro-
duction, it Is vital that every
effort be made to maintain our
present stock of more than
27,0O0,000 operating passenger
cars" said Henry. "To that
end, we must prevent hasty
or uncalled-for restrictions
which would unnecessarily
hamper automobile ownership
or operation, and at the same
time enlist motor car owners
throughout the nation in eff
forts to join the war on waste
by adoption OF sane and sensi-
BILE conservation measures.
"The AAA has prepared a
program showing just how
motorists can cooperate in theUa
war against waste. I call
upon all motorists of the
country to pledge observance
of these conservation prac-
tices. To do so will not only
help the national defense eff
forts, but also will mean real
dollar-and-cents savings for
the individual motorists"
