added. There will be a place in the
scheme for private, public and en-
dowed schools, for elementary, sec

The more diverse the training the
greater will be the benefit to the
Nation, economically and socially"
he said
Praising the Rehabilitation Act as

Senator Thomas said the Education

In response to questions posed by
Edward Boykin director of the
forum, after their talks, both Sen

Senator Thomas said.
Senator Thomas volunteered the

600 men are being released from
military service each month and
that some 10000 men and women
are taking advantage of educational

Senator's Stress Need
OF Aid 10 Veterans
In Forum Discussion

Men and women in the armed
forces must be assured of normal
readjustment to civilian life after
their discharge from service, Sena-
tors Wiley, Republican, of Wisconsin
and Thomas, Democrat, of Utah de-
clared last night in explaining the
broad purposes of bills recently in
trodused by them In Congress.
Speaking on the National Radio
Forum, sponsored by The Star and
broadcast over a Nation wide net
work from Station WMAL, Senator
Wiley said the Nation could not, If
it did its duty, simply pay these
boys, when they come back. a sum
of money called mustering-out pay
and say that our obligation is per-
formed" Rather, he emphasized
they must be guided and directed
and in the case of seriously wounded
men, 'enthused with the thought
that life still can be thing of
adventure"
Senator Wiley said the overall
authority for looking after the vet
Grams should be the Veterans Ad-
ministration. Because of 'its back
ground of constructive work, with
its lessons learned in the school of
experience" he said, lit is in a posi-
tion to give of it's vast knowledge in
handling this problem" The Vet
erans administration, he added
should be authorized to make use
of other agencies of State and the
Nation.
Asks Careful Check.
The Senator said company COM
manders should obtain personnel
information concerning their men
and that every man should be ex-
amined. If found physically and
mentally fit, and having a job, the
man could be discharged quickly
But, if the individual should fall
into the other classification, the
Government should see that ade-
quate guidance and direction are
given, as we'll as adequate assistance
MuSterlng-out payments, he re-
peated, will not be adequate, except
in the case of men physically and
mentally fit and having jobs.
Senator Thomas, citing advances
made since the last war in handling
veterans problems, declared the
healing influence of the educa ton
and training BILL" introduced by
him, upon those who will receive
It's benefits and upon the communi-
ties in which they in future life will
live, offers a blessing of immeaSur-
able consequence The soldier boys
and girls who embrace the oppor-
tunity will know the worth of living
In the blessed land of America"
Provides Education.
This bill provides, for servicemen
who want it, years education at
Government expense with a years
subsistence allowance of $50 a
month while they are training. In
this way person whose education
was interrupted will be able to con-
tinue it after the war. For those
who are properly qualified and Sc
lected, the education may continue
for four years. This opportunity

Brains are what count" Senator
Wiley said. And these boys, with
their vast experience, If given a
break, will use those brains and
that experience in the interest of
the Republic. But if We fail them,
if we permit them simply to be re-
garded as wounded animals, then
we indeed miss the mark, and miss
