GI Training Racket
Charged by VFW Head
BY the As.oeiotsd Press

KANSAS CITY, May 28.-Joseph
NJ Stack, national commander of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
charged today that many employers
are "racketeering" by using dis
charged servicemen as cheap labor"
under on-the-job training provisions
of the GI Bill Of Rights.
The Pittsburgh VFW official, who
has just completed a tour of nine
Midwestern States, said in an inter-
view that training is being pro-
longed beyond reasonable length
of time in too many cases."
In some cases employers have
stretched minimum four to six
week course to two years, forcing
the Government to pay part of their
operating expenses" he added.
Many employers are violating the
spirit of the law by returning vet
Grams to their old jobs and classi-
flying them as trainees."
