Disabled Veterans
 May Learn Trades
War ManpOwer Commission Chairman McNutt An.
 nOunces Plan of Diamond Workers

Boston, July IT,-Members of the Q. 6. armed forces disabled in the present war who want to learn the small diamond cutting trade will be given special consideration under a provision inserted in the New York diamond workers apprenticeship standards, Paul V. McNutt, chair man of the War Manpower Com mission, advised the regional once of War Information, IT Court street, today.
 The special clause, calling for waving of age limitation and ac- cording special preference to wounded veterans of either military or naval service who apply for such opportunities, was incorporated in a redraft of the standards. just com pleted by the New York diamond workers joint committee, to bring them into line with current develop ments.
 Lucrative Trade
 For years diamond merchants in the United States sent their small diamonds, those under 25 points, to the low countries for processing. Small diamond cutting was one of the most lucrative trades in Bel- gium and Holland, being handed down from father to son. It Is esti- mated that at the time the Nazi legionS overran the two countries, the industry provided steady em- pIoymseTlt for some 25,0O0 skilled craftsmen. Though this country was sufilciently supplied with expert cutters of diamonds over 25 points, a type of work requiring different technique from small gem cutting. because of the easy accessibility or European small diamond cutters, no serious attempt was ever made to develop craftsmen in this highly specialized phase of the industry.
 Currently over 05 per cent of the small gem diamond cutting in this country Is being done in New York. Plans to set up similar apprentice training programs in other localities are under consideration, however. These programs are expected 10 pc local adaptations of the New Xork plan.
 The work of revising the stand ards was done with the advisory assistance and cooperation of the apprentice training service or the Federal Security Agency.
 The joint committee, which two years ago formulated the original program, is composed of 8 like mum Der of representatives from the United Diamond Manufacturers Association of New York and the Diamond Workers Protective Union of America.
 Though the disabled veteran need not have had previous experience III diamond cutting work to be consid-- cred, his physical disability must permit him to do full days work. and. because the work requires lull finger dexterity and good sight, ms hands and eyes must be unimpaircd.
 War Emergency
 Another special provision inserted in Sne revised standards to cover a wae emergency requires that ap- prenticeS called into the armed service shall upon their return 10 civilian life be permitted to resume Ei1eir apprenticeship where they left ofY ct the time of induction, regain ing their seniority.

selves without facilities for cutting small diamonds. The small number of trained men available in this field of work fell far short of the number required.
 Faced with the task of organiz- ing facilities to train these crafts- men as rapidly as possible, the United Diamond Manufacturers Association of New York and the Diamond Workers Protective Union of America called upon the appren- ticeship staff of the Federal govern ment for help in handling the prob- lem.
 On advice from apprenticeship field men, local joint apprentice ship committee was created with equal representation from the asso- ciation and the union. This was the first and most important step in efforts to solve the dilemma. The second was the drafting of a local program for training apprentices. This program was officially put into effect in July, 1940, less than two months after the Germans had conquered the low countries. At that time. 1t was realized that program drawn up so hastily to train ap- prentices in work on which only meager technical information was available would need to be revised at intervals.
 Program Revised
 The program has been twice re- vised. The first revision was under taken more clearly to define train ing for single-cut apprentices. The revision which has just been com pleted clarified other controversial points and provided an occasion for including the two special war clauses.
 Under this revised program, ap- prcntices are being trained in each of the major divisions of small gem diamond cutting Hopping, brillian- decring, saving. cutting or cleaving, and verestelling or dop-setting. It takes at least thirty-six months to acquire full mastery of any of these branches of the trade, studies have indicated.
