 The findings of the Commission undoubtedly will supply any em- ployer with statistical data on what physically handicapped persons he might give jobs to.
 In addition to that, the Ram speck Committee now is prepared to call any placement officer on the carpet and demand specific reason why he has failed to employ dis abled veterans whose abilities are suited to the job to be filled.
 Back of this are the plans for a vast educational and training pro- gram for disabled veterans. But all of it is a tendency to fit the phy- sically handicapped person for a niche in the economic or govern mental structure for which he is best suited.
 One point that Ramspeck and the Commission bear down on is that none of this is charity. There isn't "a dehospitalized disabled veteran who hasn't his place in gainful em- ployment. The problem is to find it
