SeIective Service Reports
Coincide With Schools
PIeu for More Funds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Jan. 24.-More than
10000 Virginia registrants called for
induction failed to meet minimum
educational standards of the armed
forces, Gov. Darden and Chairman
c. c. Louderback of the House Ap-
preparations Committee have been
advised by State selective service
headquarters.
The armed services accepted only
limited number who failed to meet
the standards-only 1859 out of 30
947 in Virginia-and thus lost vast
amount of manpower, almost two
divisions of troops.
The report said approximately 6
per cent of white registrants failed
to meet the minimum educational
standards, while for Negroes the
figure was 1857 per cent. The
failures totaled approximately 10 per
cent of the registrants examined.
More Education Funds Sought.
The report came at a time when
the Senate Finance and House Ap-
preparations Committees are con-
sidering State Department of Edu-
cation request for increased funds
for expansion of special and adult
education.
DR.. Dabney S. Lancaster, State
superintendent of education, has re-
quested that the SIS 900 per year for
his work in the budget-exactly the
same as the appropriation for the
current year-be increased to $780,
900 for the first year of the bien-
mum and to $4,000 the second
year.
The program is being built around
the States consolidated high schools,
largely in evening classes, but is now
operative in only a limited area.
The instruction includes vocational
as well as academic education. DR..
Lancaster said the Army does a fine
job with its personnel, but that the
States program will require expan-
sion when large numbers Of men are
released from military duty.
Vocational Education.
This program Of special and adult
education is not the same as the
vocational education program en-
vlsioned by Gov. Darden in recon-
mending $2,500000 for vocational
training facilities in several parts
of the State. The special vocational
training schools would be for high
school graduates, who are not going
to college, rather than for adults.
