ances while being trained for some
gainful occupation. He gave the
rate as $50 for a single man, 800 if
married and SIS for each child. I'D to
maximum of Sl20. The payments
would continue for six months after
the training period. If the veteran
was entitled to a pension of less

would be augmented during training.
Capt Watson B. Miller, assistant
Federal Security Administrator. out
lined how the program would be
carried out, particularly in expand

vocational training.
1t was brought out during the
| discussion that, while the basic Fed
eral aid ratio is to be So for every
81 of State expenditure, the Gov

financially able to carry on the

Three Main Purposes.
The pending measure has three
main purposes:
l. To rehabilitate veterans of this
war with SerVice-c connected disabil-

der laws to be passed by the States
in accordance with Federal stand
ards.
The bill seeks to coordinate IN
one law the civilian rehabilitation
programs of the Federal Security
Administration and the military
cases of the Veterans Administra-
ton. There would be single re-
Mobilization service, set up under
the Federal Security Administrator
but supporters Of the bill contend
it vests in the Veterans Admins

Defines Responsibility.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, adj
ministrator of veterans affairs, Of
fered several amendments yesterday
to define more clearly the RESPONSE
bility of that agency on veterans
cases.
Later in the hearing, Senator La
Toilette and Willard w. Rice, ma
tional service director for the Dis
abled American Veterans, disagreed
over whether the bill gives Gen
Hines agency sufficient control over
veterans.
Mr.. Rice said this bill is much
better" than a similar measure con-
sidered last fall. but reiterated hi!
belief the two problems of veteran
and civilian rehabilitation should bt
separated. He emphasized he ia.
vored civilian rehabilitation pro.
grams, and would have no objec.

parts Of the bill.

Senator La Toilette quoted Gen
Hines as having said he had NO

problem, and I have no doubt OF
