VETS FACE UNEMPLOYMENT
CRISIS: uses BLAMED
FOR LACK OF JOBS

NEW YORk, Apr. IL (ANf) =
A study of the Veterans administra-
tion and the United States Employ
ment Service for SO cities has re-
vealed distressing employment con-
ditions for Negro veterans, accord
ing to the National Urban League
which directed the survey. Charg-
ing the two agencies with lack of
comprehensive program, the
league report stated:
"The major problems confronting
Negro veterans in the majority of
cities studied have to do with en-
ployment, training and counseling
and it was found that the movement
of Negroes into peacetime employ
ment lags far behind the movement
of white veterans"
Declaring that it has been unable
to find any well-organized effort to
secure on-the-job training or ap-
premiership training for Negro
veterans in any city studied, the lea
que also said veterans employment
service of the USES is offering
only traditional Negro jobs" 1t
was also asserted that the Veterans
administration and the USES en-
ploy too few Negroes.
Employment of competent Ne
groes on administrative staffs of
the Veterans Affairs office, Veter-
ans administration and the veter-
ans employment division of USES
would aid in formulating policies
for Negro veterans, the league feels:
1t urged also that training pro-
grams be offered on a non-dis-
criminatory basis to Negro veter-
ans in public and private schools,
colleges and universities.
The league found few Negro vet
erans accepted in the building
trades in northern cities and re-
ported exclusion altogether in St.
Louis. The brightest spot in the
trades appeared in Memphis,
where 40 men were said to be ap-
prenticed to a Negro carpenters
union.
'In all but two cities having seq
regated school systems training for
Negroes was entirely inadequate" :"
the league reports. The two excep-
tions were Baltimore and Washing
ton. All Negro colleges offering vo-
cational and technical education for
veterans were said to have large
waiting lists. Tuskegee institute re-
ported one-fourth of it's enrolment

KODIAK CATTLE
 ARE AIR-HERDED

KODIAK. Aug. 22.-Riding the range in an airplane was the novel experience of T. M. c. Anderson, area supervisor.
 At Kodiak. MT. Anderson, MT. Savage and MT McCord obtained use of a navy plane to make an aerial survey of the cattle, which are the offspring of three cows and two bulls placed on the island in 1888. The plane rode herd" on the cattle, flying low over them and driving them into the open for a closer observation.
 Although more snow fell in that area last winter than in many previous years, there were no signs of dead cattle, the men reported. All of the 500 cattle looked strong and healthy, despite the fact that they have never been sheltered, watered, salted or fed. The herd contains more bulls than are allowed to remain in a domestic herd but this problem will be solved Ii MT. McCord daughters them next fall as he previously announced he would do.
 From Chirikof the men flew to Sltkalidak, where Mir. McCord owns several hundred head of domesti- cated cattle and a large number of sheep All were found to ke in excellent condition, due probably to the fact that the grass there is ex- tremely nutritious. MT. Savage, who is in charge of 800 government cattle in Oklahoma, which he is testing for the Department of Agri- culture, reported it to be some of the finest grazing grass he has ever seen. The Kodiak area is ideal for cattle ground, he declared.

repair shop, in addition to storage
space for eight planes.
S0-Acre Flying Field
The new 80-acre flying field is
directly across the road from one
operated during the war by Bixel,
local automobile dealer and a war
time aviation instructor. Drainage
tile is being laid now, and that phase
of the work will be completed within
the next couple of weeks.
Comparatively little grading is
required, for the land is fiat, and
construction of the runways will be
a simple matter.
Providing better highway access
to the field the Orange township
trustees have piked with stone a
one-mile stretch of the former mud
road which runs past the airport.
The improved road starts at State
Route 103 and extends to the Arthur
Swank road.
Aircraft Mechanic on Hand
Eddie Post, of Spencerville, a
licensed aircraft mechanic, viii be
in charge of repairs and general
details of the field, Bixel announced
this week.
Following completion, one of the
principal activities at the airport
will be instruction for servicemen
under the G. |. Bill of Rights. A
starting class of 20 is in prospect,
with an average of six months
training required for private pilots
license.
To meet the cost of instruction,
the G. |. benefit program in most
cases provides up to $500 for each
veteran enrolled.
Class / Airport
The new airport development will
give Bluffton a Class / field,
representing the minimum in air
port equipment. Class | airports in
this vicinity are at Pandora, Ottawa
and Kenton. Lima and Findlay have
Glass II airports.
If the development were munich
pally owned airport, it would be
eligible for a federal grant of
$4,000, money for which is expected
to be made available within the
next six months.
