A rescue squad from the fort was
dragging the river for the body of
another soldier who obtained pass
to attend the dance and left with
the party but had not returned to
the post a 7 a. m. The public reia-

he was dead but that his name was
being withheld pending definite con-

tragedy were killed when the ! IL

after the truck overturned.

in the Mitchellville section of this
village, was discovered by taxicab

Twenty feet beyond the gaping
hole in the narrow bridge rail lay
the truck. bottom side up IN about

When he reached the scene one or

keep them from slipping into the
water.
Most of the soldiers we're members

Government Is Set
For Rehabilitation Of
Wounded Veterans
~ the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
When President Roosevelt called
for an extensive program to promote
rehabilitation of all returning vet
Grams of this war, q Government
project already was under way to
aid soldiers handicapped by service
connected disabilities to prepare to
return to civilian life.
AS result of this project, thou
sands of veterans bearing the scars
of war may win future brighter
than they otherwise might have had.
A boy who may have just finished
high school and was working at an
ordinary job when he was called
into service, may become lawyer
at Government .expense-if a war
wound makes it impossible for him
to make living at his old job.
A college graduate who might have
been forced to take job in industry
because he didn't have money
enough to go on to medical school,
may have the way paved toward a
doctors degree-if the Government
finds he can't do the industrial lob
because of his service disability.
Hypothetical Cases.
A lad who may have driven truck
before the war may become an avia-
tion engineer, because the heart
trouble he developed in service may
eliminate the truck driving, but still
allow him to do good work at a re-
sponSible technical post.
Bad eyes might prevent a soldier
from resuming his old position as a
bookkeeper, but the Government
may train him to become a first
class farmer.
These are hypothetical cases, but
they are within the limits of the
Government program known as the
Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation
Act passed by Congress and ap-
proved by the President late in
March.
Under it, many qualified veterans
will have all expenses paid for
training in a profession, or in an
industrial or farming job-provided
they can show the need of such
vocational rehabilitation to over
come the handicap of their disabili-
ity.
There's hardly anything that
there isn't green light on, pro-
vided the case is meritorious," says
spokesman for the Veterans Ad-
ministration, which will administer
the program.
Pensions Increased.
While the men are in training.
their ordinary service pensions for
disability will be increased consid-
erably 50 that, in effect, they will
be receiving pay from the Govern
ment while training. This will be
$50 a month for an unmarried man,
500 month for a married man and
IS a month additional for each
child. There also is an allowance of
$40 month for each dependent
parent.
Training may last for as long as
Tour years, but must be completed
within six years after the close of
the war, except in unusual cases
Such case might be that of man
VINO might have to spend several
years in a hospital before applying
for vocational rehabilitation train
ing.
Already approximately 1000 vet
erans of this war have applied for
this training.
But the project is so new that the
veterans Administration has not
yet determined the disposition of
those cases by So regional field

ton Service that have been set I'D
