an Increase in juvenile delinquen-

the usual methods of treating

Veterans A Disgrace

Despite Investigations and re-
Communications from numerous or
CARNATIONS and individuals follow
ing release of the National Urban
Leagues special veterans survey
earlier in the year, little actually
has been done to improve services
to Negro veterans, the year-end
report revealed. In city after city,
veterans comprise the majority of
unemployed Negroes in the EN-
ployment Service active files. In
some cities, Negro veterans al
ready exhausted their adjustment
allowances and are being forced
to accept ill-paid jobs as janitors,
porters and laborers.
