POLITICAL FORCE

If there is a breakdown in the
local veterans effort, Pack said
il will be because the state has not
done all il should, because the
local communities turn their
backs on the veterans or because
the federal government dumps toe
much of the readjustment and
rehabilitation into the states lap
"Our biggest problem is en-
plOyment," he said, "if that
could be solved, our other
worries would be Insignificant.
If We can't find jobs for the
soldiers, then we will be taking
steps TO get them. That il what
we've been drilling into the
minds of the local veterans
