New English Alphabet Is
 Shaw's Plea
By BARTON PATTfE


 LONDON, Dec. 29 = George B Shaw appealed today to the British government to appoint committee to draft new English alphabet with which every sound in our speech can be written with one graphic and easily written symbol without even crosses or dots"
 Shaw, who has campaigned before for simplification of the alphabet, said in a letter to the Times that adoption of his proposals would soon pay the cost of the war in time say ed.
 Using the word bomb" as an ex- ample, Shaw said the final 'b' was entirely senseless," and represented "an absurd mispronounciation, as if the word gun were to he spelt 'gung.'
 T can scribble the word bomb barely legibly Is times in one min ute" Shaw said, and bonn 24 times, a saving of 25 per cent"
 The result, he argued, is stagger- ing enough to justify priority for a new alphabet, mo matter what it costs"
 Shaw said he had found it was useless to appeal to education auth critics"
 They dare not interfere with Dr. Johnscn's monumental mispelling; which is now much more sacred than the creed and the catechism,' he declared.

the-job training program under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. If there ordinarily is any red tape, it certainly was absent in this deal.
 I know about this case because the photo editing job was in the Wash ington office of The Associated Press.
 On-the-job Training Programs are allowed under either the euucauion- al provisions of the GI Bill or un- der the Vocational Rehabilitation Act for disabled veterans Public l6). This means that veterans don't necessarily have to go to high schools, colleges or trade schools for training. They can go to work and learn while working.
 The salary they receive naturally is not going to be as hiGas as a trained worker gets. But the Veter- ans Administration is authorized to pay part or all of the subsistence all lowance provided by the CT Bill or Public 16 This extra payment
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-12-29

brings the total income to the veter- an to a worthwhile amount.
 You know that a veterans sub sistence allowance eff he has no dependent) is $50 a month under the GI Bill education section. It's S92 to a disabled veteran without a de- pendent if he qualities to train un- der Public 16.
 So suppose a veteran, through the Veterans Administrator or the U. s. Employment Service or through his own efforts finds a chance for an on-the-job set-up. If the salary IS to be, let's say, $50 month, and the money ordinarily paid to a man who's completed his initial training for that Kind of work is, say, S220 a month, then the VA could pay an eX- tra $50 a month Subsistence allow ance under the CT Education sec- tion)
 That would give the veteran a to- tai income of $200 a month. While learning and working (that's on-the- job training) he'd be getting almost as much as another man whose training was finished.
 As his experience and knowledge grows, and if his employer increases his salary, the VA is authorized to keep his total income fairly equal to the income of a a man already trained This can continue until he's ended his period of learning and is then considered as a regular train ed employee.
 All training or educational sources must be on the states approved list before a vet can get CT Bill train- ing aid. So just remember that the employer must be approved by your state educational authorities that is. the state must be convinced that the employer is capable of giving you worthwhile and comprehensive experience.
 The on-the-iob training scheme is practical and it's almost as good a buy for any young veteran as a nickel telephone call to the right girl. Related to this kind of train ing - in fact, part of it = is the work of trade apprentice. My next article will be about the governments Apprentice Training Service for ex-service people

A disabled veteran got line on a job in Washington through the Philadelphia regional office of the Veterans Administration. They told him its was a chance to get some practical experience in news paper photo editing
 At the same time he hears about the job he was taking a commercial art course under Public Law lG- the Vocational Rehabilitation Act for veterans. So he went to Washing ton, was interviewed by the prospec- tive employer, and went to work on -day-trial basis
 During the ten days, the employ CT figured the veteran would do all right, so a salary was named and he started to learn about photo edit ing.
 Now the point of this story is this. the veteran learned a month or so later from the regional office of the VA that he was engaged in an on-
