Gen. Erskine Asks
Job OPPorfnnities
For Disabled

A plea for greater job opport,n.
titles for disabled persons was mad.
last night by Mai. Gen. Graves p
Erskine, head Of the Retraining and
Unemployment Administration, he.
fore the Women's Supreme Council
[of B'nai Birth.
The speaker, who addressed din
|ner meeting at the Shoreham Hotel,
said that one of the most urgent
problems in the conservation Of
human resources in this country
lis that OF disabled citizens, who.
through accident. disease or war,
have suffered a physical or mental
disability which interferes with their
finding employment
Government programs for the hos
.pitalization and rehabilitation OF
disabled veterans have been
strengthened since the end of World
War II, and some improvement also
has been made in the programs for
disabled civilians. Maj. Erskine con-
ceded.
He asserted, however, that these
Government programs do not always
accomplish the most important end
-"and that is the actual placing Of
disabled persons In suitable jobs"
This is something the Govern
ment cannot do-unless it creates
public works or unless we change
our form of government, he added.
Only employers can hire these per
sons and only private citizens such
as yourselves can see that this
happens"
Gen. Erskine enlisted the couln-
ellis support for the newly formed
National Association for the En-
ployment of the Handicapped Of
which he is president. The purpose
of the association, he said, is to
provide a central organization in
which national, private groups and
individuals who are devoting their
efforts to improving the lot of handi-
capped persons can find means
of pooling their activities.
Vice Admiral Ross T. McIntire
is vice president of the association
which is still in the process of be-
ing organized.
Gen. Erskine was the principal
speaker ON a program which in
cluded addresses by Henry Mosky,
president of B'nai Birth, and Mrs.
Ida Cook Farber of New York, presi-
ident. of the Women'S Supreme
Council. Mrs. Farber is presiding at
the council meeting which opened a
three-day session here yesterday
morning. About so members are
attending.
