Charles H. Martin. manager of
Virginia State Employment Serv-
ice in Farmville, today urged en-
ployers to re-examine their per-
sonnet hiring policies and take
any steps which may be necessary
to assure that physically handi-
capped workers are considered and
employed along with other work
ers on the basis of their ability
to perform the job.
Mr.. Martin said the productive
capacity of physically handicap
ped workers, when properly plac-
ed. had been demonstrated both
during and since World War II.
The experience of large num-
bers of employers has demonstrat-
ed that the key to the productive
capacity Of the handicapped is
