VA Plans New Traininu
Jobs for 3 Veterans
Let Out by Gun Factory

The Veterans Administration to-
day was planning continuation else
where of on-the-job veteran train
ing for % Naval Gun Factory ap-
prentices due for lay-offs, following
Qualification" of the dismissals at a
Navy press conference yesterday.
In a prepared statement, Rear Ad-
miral Glenn B. Davis, gun factory
superintendent, insisted "the Navy
has no commitment to retain vet
Grams who are apprentices for any
definite period, any more so than
any other civil service employe."
Earlier, VA officials had expressed
surprise at the summary dismissals
and pointed to top-level Navy-VA
agreement under which veterans
placed in naval establishments for
training in trades were to be kept
until fitted for full employment in
their field. They complained ade-
quate advance notice of the lay
offs had not been received.
"Unforseen Circumstance"
Following a conference with Naval
Gun Factory heads yesterday, how
ever, a VA spokesman said the re,
cent drastic cuts in personnel there
produced an unforeseen circum-
stance" in the training program
which made it impossible to COM
plete the training of all veterans,
assigned. Faced with this, VA would
see that other arrangements were
made for the veterans dismissed, it
was explained.
Admiral Davis said VA had asked
that the maximum advance notice
be given when future discharges of
trainees are contemplated and had
been promised maximum co-opera-
tion in this regard. This was con-
flrmed at VA.
Admiral Davis said the notices
given March 25 affected 80 appren-
ticeS in all. OF these, 26 were vet
Grams, 2 of whom promptly estab-
l1shed permanent civil service status
through disability, he continued.
Another veteran probably will be
able to prove disability, leaving %
to be dismissed because of their
temporary civil service status,
Admiral Davis said.
Employed Like Others.
"These apprentices are not on
ithe-job trainees," he added. "They
are employed exactly as all other
civil service employees and subject
to the service rules and regula-
tions with respect to reduction of
force"
His statement was supported by
Rear Admiral Frederick G.. Crisp,
the Navy Departments chief of in
dustrial relations. Both officers
emphasized there had been every
intention of carrying the veterans
training through to conclusion in
each case, an intention they said
now could not be fulfilled because
of fixed civil service rules govern
ing diSmissals in reductions of per-
sonnel.
Although Admiral Davis said the
apprentices were not on-the-io
traineeS, the VA spokesman said
that agency definitely considered
them such, but said it was merely
misunderstanding as to definitions.
No quarrel existed between the
Navy and VA in the matter, he
declared.
Further Dismissals Seen.
The men involved in virtually /
every instance had furlough time
which assured them pay for ap- ]
proximately 80 days from the date {
Of dismissal notice, Admiral Davis !
said. 10

of refnishing furniture at the home
of Mrs. Rhea McNabb on Tuesday,
Feb. 26. The old finish was removed
from a walnut library table and a
cherry chest of drawers. The chest
of drawers belongs to Mrs. Mae Ra-
cey and was rescued from the Zanes-
vile flood in 1913. The name which
was written on the back of the chest
would indicate that it had formerly
belonging to a family who lived in
Putnam, Ohio. When the old finish
was removed from both pieces of fur
niture, both showed promises of be-
ing very nice pieces of furniture.
This was an all day meeting. A

Bradley Asks More Benefits
For Disabled War Veterans

Washington-Gen. Omar N. Brad
ley, chief of the Veterans Admins
tration, today urged enactment of a
law benefiting more than 115,000 dis
abled veterans.
1t would put into effect a schedule
drawn in 1945 under which virtually
all claimants would receive quick
ratings for disability pensions, Brad
ley explained in a statement pre-
pared for the House Veterans Com
! mittee.
The schedule would be effective
the first day of the month after the
law is enacted.
All future cases would be based on
it no matter when filed and those
now or the rolls would be reviewed
under it's terms.
An estimated 100000 World War II
veterans and $1,000 of the previous
war would receive increases aver
aging SLIPS a month retroactive to
the date the new schedule went into
effect. Bradley explained. And they
wouldn't even have to apply.
Bradley said the schedule was low
er in a few cases than the 1888 rat
ing list now in effect, but he de-
clared the bill Evil not, Of itself
require any reduction of pension be-
ing paid any disabled veteran, be-
cause only increased ratings
and awards will be effective the first
day of the month after its enactment
He estimated it would cost
26,OOO,OOO.
Bradley also gave his backing to
liberalization of the service insur-
ance law "to more nearly conform
with commercial policies" The pro-
posed revision would:
l. Let anybody be named benefi-
ciary.
2. Allow lump sum settlements.
Permit total disability protection
The administrator also urged a
third law, adding $1,OOO,000 to the
$5OO,OOO revolving fund for non
interest loans of up to 500 to dis
abled veterans starting vocational
training.

Library Notes

Panama Passage" by Donald Barr
Chidsey is the story of Harry Kel-
lens, young engineer, whose veal
thy, spoiled wife decided to join him
in plague-ridden Panama. Panama,
in those days, was no place for a
sheltered woman, but with the help
of Colonel Gorgas, who valued Kel-
lens as a loyal worker, the young
couple managed to find livable quar-
ters.
On the boat which brought Kel-
lem's wife, Phil, to Panama, she met
and became attracted to Captain
Ward Wright, romantic soldier of
fortune who was in the pay of the
interests blocking the progress of
the canal. He was such an exciting
contrast to her young and naive hus-
band that his aura of adventure
could not fail to attract her. But
perhaps Harry was not so naive as
he seemed, for he himself had mean
while fallen more than half in love
with Madeline Desmoulin, the pretty
and aristocratic daughter of a veal
thy old Frenchman.
Out of this situation grows the
action and suspense of the story. Al
ways in the background is the pan
Drama of the great canal venture
and the retaining of the mosquito
cursed pestland.

include magazines given by Mrs,

Rural Life Conference, to meet in
Columbus, under sponsorship of the

and economic problems of rural areas
In letter asking Mr.. Tilden to

wind, droughts, insects, animal dis
ease-and dozens of others that city
people never think about, he said.

educational program to better inform
