Discharged Army
Men Reducing
Labor Shortage
By TED YATES
(Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK-QNS)- the
soldiers dream of getting back his
old job, or better one, is already
coming true is evidenced by the
manufacturing industry -particu-
larly, in the aircraft field-which
has employed some 100000 dis
charged service men since Pearl
Harbor.
These veterans, according to an
Owl report, have become "a real
factor in reducing the manpow-
er shortage. Other workers in the
plants are proud to have the vet
Grams working alongside them"
and the ex-servicemen themselves
get real lift from being able to
hold down job despite disabilities.
In connection with rehabilitation,
the National Association of Manu-
facturers. which recently urged its
members to re-employ disabled
veterans, has drawn up a program
outlining as an important aspect
of the problem that handicapped
veterans must not be allowed to
feel as if they were objects of
charity"
The association maintained that
industry's experience in job train
ing through a breakdown of COM
pick operations into simple ones
could be enlarged to aid in the
training of war veterans, and fl
nally, that society should care for
these disabled veterans handicap
ped so severely that they cannot
find a place to work within indus
try. There is no color ban in hiring
discharged veterans, a spokesman
revealed in an exclusive interview.
Among the major companies mir
ing hundre dsof discharged veter-
ans are North American Aviation,
Inc; Consolidated Vultee Aircraft
Corporation; and Douglas Aircraft
Company. One company has an
nounced that it will fill all its va
.cancies with returned veterans.

Rehabilitation
Planned For
Registrars

Colonel L. W. Long, state direc-
tor OF selective service, announces
! the installation of plan of re-
Mobilization of registrants of this
state to become effective January
II, 1914.
| The plan is based on the COOP
Grafton of physicians hospitals. the
state health department, the United
States Employment Service, the
county agents of agriculture, the
state department of education and
county superintendent of educa-
ton, the vocational rehabilitation
department for civilians, and the
selective service local boards. 1t
IS devised to be coordinated with
the pre-induction physical examina-
ton now being placed into effect.
The purpose of the plan is to SAL
wage manpower both for the armed
forces and essential war produc-
ton, or production in support of
the war effort since this is now
required in the national interest.
Those men found to have easily
remediable defects physical or ed
ucationaD will be aided in their
correction so they may be induct-
ed. Those found with permanent
defects not remediable will be as
sisted by vocational training, or re-
turn to their original essential Job
in agriculture or industry, or be
placed in essential agriculture or
industry if in non-essential job.
At the armed forces induction
station IS placed committee of
three, composed of a doctor, rep
| resentative of selective service, and
representative of the vocational
rehabilitation department.. They
interview each selectee found by
the armed forces not to be accept
able for service. The rejectee is
given letter to his local board of
selective service, which he delivers
in person. The letter indicates the
recommended disposition of the
case and the local board of selec-
tive service advises the registrant
what is required. He then is given
a letter by the local board to the
proper person or agency to carry
out the plan. Thirty days are al
lowed for placement or return to
essential employment Or enrolment
in school for vocational training or
education. Ninety days are allow
ed for the correction of readily
remedial defect. A close follow-up
on the system will be carried out
The plan is expected to accom-
plish the following
|
l. Keep the man who is physi-
cally or mentally unfit for service
in the armed forces on his WAR
job by:
a. Return of registrants found to
be physically and mentally unfit
for service in the armed forces.
b. Placement of rejected regis
trants in essential agriculture or
industry.
C. Vocational training and up
grading of selected responsive indi-
viduals with permanent defects.
2. Correction of easily rene
diable defects, both physical and
educational, to permit induction in
80 days and salvage of such man
power.
3. To require the use of as few
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers as posi-
BILE by retaining men from the
single and married group of reg
istrants,
4. To preserve the economy of
our manpower and benefit our cit
izenship generally.

Armed Forces
Reach Peak
1890. 900 in Service;
Nays Quota Filled

WASHINGTON, July Is (UP)
The navy has reached its de
sired strength of 100000, bring
ing combined armed forces
strength TO its scheduled peak of
100000 and putting future in
duction calls on replacement
basis, it was learned tonight.
Naval officials told United
Press that as of June 80 the navy,
marine corps and coast guard
numbered 3.632.381 men and
women-just $4,000 short of the
Sept. goal-and estimated that
by now that peak has been passed.
The navy itself stood at 1887
81, the marine corps at AIS, 1896,
and the coast guard at 1925.
This tabulation reflected an ex-
panSion since April 80 of about
100000 men, by far the major
part of manpower indicted since
that time.
The army has been on a re-
placement basis for the past three
and one-half months after reach
ing its scheduled strength of T.
100000 on April l.
Unless future military opera
tionS require sudden and increased
demands for manpower, it was ex-
pected that monthly induction
quotas can be cut below 100000.
The army has required replace
mentS in the neighborhood of TO-
900 men per month, and the navy
ordinarily fewer than 10000.
