Postal clerks are required to

Physically Handicapped Persons Ask
Employment; Have Excellent Record

A physically handicapped~person
when properly placed in job will
make a better showing than the
| average unimpaired worker, Fred
| L. Houston, manager OF the local
Employment Service office Saic
today.
This fact, borne out by Stats
tics, is being stressed by a
Kennewick committee for OBJ
servance of Employ the Physi-
cally Handicapped Week" which
starts today.
Stressing the importance to the
community of hiring handicapped
workers, Houston said that most
Kennewick agencies are coopera-
ting in a real effort to better
last years obervance of the
week, which resulted in placing
five local physically handicapped
persons in jobs throughout this
area.
Fewer accidents, less absentee
ism, less labor turnover and
greater production than the
average workers were shown in
industry by handicapped persons
according to Bureau of Labor
Statistics survey made during
the war.
While it is true that the handi-
capped worker received training
assistance from various agencies,
it is clearly up to the employers
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1947-10-09

those who do the actual hiring
to give these handicapped work
erS a chance to show their abili-
ties, Houston states.
"WhenS an employer considers
hiring a handicapped worker, he
should investigate the mans
ability-not his disability. There
are a few of us who, in the nor
NAL course of days labor, use
all of our physical functions. The
same is true of the handicapped
worker. If his abilities are match
ed to the job requirments he'll
do the job as well or better than
the average worker"
Of II unemployed, physically
handicapped persons now seek
ing jobs in Kennewick area,
nine are World War veterans.
When a handicapped worker is
placed on the job, he not only
helps himself and his employer,
but he becomes an important
productive part of the community
as a whole. Any worker, handi-
capped or acknowledgement, is a
liability to the community. The
handicapped worker constitutes a
powerful labor force and should
be put to work Houston said.
Urging that ali Kennewick
employers investigate job possibi-
lities for the handicapped Houston
said that a call from any en-

Alaska Newsprint Industry
Bill Signed by Truman
BY the Associated Pres.

Legislation under which news
print industry may be established
in Southeast Alaska was signed to-
day by President Truman.
1t permits sale of timber in the
Tongas National Forest to newsprint
manufacturing companies. The
Forest Service of the Agriculture
Department is given authority to
provide the paper companies with a
steady source of wood harvested in
the Tongas preserve on a sustained
yield basis.
Endorsing the bill before Congress,
Forest Service officials estimated it
would open the way for construc-
ton of five $30,0O0,00o paper mills
in Alaska and predicted that each
mill would create a town of 5000 or
more population.
The bill stipulates that money
from the sale of Tongas timber will
be held in the Treasury until the
claims of native Indians to parts of
the land are settled. Indians of
Southeast Alaska have opposed the
legislation.

Elliott Roosevelt Saws
Father 0verruIed Him
On Plans for Hughes
by the Associotsd Press

Elliott Roosevelt says his father.
the late President Roosevelt, acted
lin direct opposition" to the inter-
ests of photo-reconnaissance in per-
mitting the Hughes Aircraft Co. to
continue building a cargo plane
during the war.
Mr.. Roosevelt made his statement
In a talk recorded Wednesday and
broadcast over WINK last night.
Asked if the White House had
exerted influence in the award of
some $40,000,0o0 worth Of airplane
contracts to Howard Hughes, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
Not only did the White House
not influence the awards, but testi-
mony will prove that President
Roosevelt's action in arguing that
after $13.000.000 had been spent
on the Hughes) cargo plane they
ought to keep the contract in force
until they got the benefit of all the
work to date-so that he allowed
them to spend S5,0O0,000 more-that
was in direct opposition to our in
terests in the reconnaissance pro-
gram.
"a Good Deal Of Fun"
1--WE felt the cargo plane should
be shelved and all facilities that
Hughes had should be turned over
to reconnaissance.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the Senate
War Investigating Committee will
have a good deal of fun and do
much good for the people of the
United States if they will look into
some of the excesses and contract
negotiations and contracts that
were let. AS I pointed out in my
report. they were completely value
less to the process of the war"
IF the Government had taken
my advice, many millions OF dol
lars would have been saved even
on the Hughes contract he con-
tinued.
I'm my report, I recited that Mr..
Hughes offered to meet certain
guarantees of performance and de-
livery of that plane, and when these
procurement officers came to give
them (the Hughes company the
contract they included none of these
guarantees.
Actually. the Government should
be- out not one cent on that con-
tract"
Plane Redesigned Completely.
Asked why none of the Hughes
planes was delivered while the fight
ing was on. Mr.. Roosevelt replied:
Mr.. Hughes told me after the
war was over that he was prevented
from getting the planes out on time
because it took IL months for him
to get the contract negotiated In
the first place when I had recon-
mended that 1t be negotiated i'm
mediately.
"On top of that. they forced him
to completely redesign the plane, in
direct opposition to my recommen-
dations."

American military mission officials
