VA Red Tape Blamed
In Refusal 10 Hire
Veterans Of Korea

Veterans Administration red
tape has caused many District
employers to refuse to hire Ko-
rean War veterans in apprentice
ship programs under which the
veterans would receive CT Bill
benefits, it was charged yester-
day.
Robert E Phelps, chairman
Of the District of Columbia APP
premiership Council, said the
VAS policies have restricted the
number of job opportunities for
veterans interested in learning
a trade.
Mr.. Phelps made the assertion
at a meeting of the council yes
terday. His remarks prompted
the council to ask for a meeting
with VA officials to attempt to
relieve the problem.
Points to Regulations.
"Under present VA regulations
relating to Korean veterans,
when an employer raises his
apprentice l cent over the mini
mum agreed to on the basic
apprenticeship wage scale. the
Korean GI's benefits are imme-
diately suspended" Mr.. Phelps
said.
He explained that employers
are confused and discouraged"
by VA regulations requiring
them to keep written records on
the wages, progress and attend
ance of CT apprentices. In addi-
ton to keeping such records a
monthly report must be sent TO
the VA on each such veteran, he
said.
One-third or 573 of the total
number of apprentices registered
with the council are Korean vet
Grams but only half of the 573
are receiving benefits from the
VA, Mr.. Phelps said. The bene-
fits are paid under the on-the.
job-training program. compar.
able to the educational benefits
paid under the GI bill.
Embarrassing to Council.
Mr.. Phelps said the council
has had a long standing policy
of encouraging local employers
to give veterans. especially those
who are disabled, preference for
bona fide apprenticeship OPEN
ings," The increasing number
of employers refusing to hire
veterans because of the VAS red
tape lis embarrassing to the
council" he declared.
More than 80 per cent of all
District employers eligible to
train apprentices now have ap-
proved programs under council
direction, Gino j. Simi. director
of apprenticeship for the District
of Columbia reported.
