The chief speaker Leonard v.

one Of the Veterans Administra-
ton large regional offices of a
typical group of disabled veterans
OF World War II who have COM
pleted vocational training.
The earning capacity of the group
showed a marked increase. The
average monthly earnings of the
veterans surveyed was Sl8l before
they began vocational training.
After completion of the training,
the average earnings was found to
be $500.
Persistence in their vocation was
shown by the fact that sc per cent
OF the group surveyed continued
in the jobs they had chosen, fol-
lowing completion of their train
ing. Of those who changed, it was
found additionally that 6 per cent
OF the total number had benefited
themselves by changing.
A third significant conclusion
was that the veterans degree of
disability was not a factor in the
length of time he trained. Some of
the more seriously disabled men
tended to reach their vocational
goals as quickly as the others,
which indicated that the guiding
factor was the veterans mental
attitude and ambition, rather than
the degree of his disability.
Q-May get CT loan to buy
an apartment building, if I intend
to live in one of the apartments?
A-Yes, so long as the total
number of separate units is not
more than four, if you're buying
the apartment yourself. If more

tional unit may be added to the
basic four for each veteran partici-
pating.

Prejudice Denied
In AD-X2 Tests
BY the Associofed Press

A Bureau of Standards chem
list who, made a half dozen tests
of battery additive AD-X2 has
denied that he was prejudiced
against the product or battery
additives in general.
DR.. D. Norman Craig testified
yesterday at a Federal Trade
Commission hearing that he
never made any tests of battery
additives until assigned to lab
oratory work on AD-X2 in 1852.
He said on cross-examination
by Jess NJ. Ritchie, co-inventor
of AD-X2, that he was aware of
earlier bureau publications con-
demning battery additives and
"in an Indifferent way" agreed
with them.
However, DR.. Craig said he en-
Joys "a continuous feeling OF
objectivity and freedom from
direct supervision over anything
I may say or do" in his work
at the bureau.
Mr.. Ritchie and his company
Pioneers, Inc, of Oakland, Calf.
are accused of false and mislead-
ing advertising that AD-X2 will
extend the life of lead-acid stor-
age batteries. The Governments
case is based largely on Bureau
of Standards tests.
Mr.. Ritchie has charged that
bias against battery additives
has existed at the bureau for
rs years.

U. n. Maps Strategy
To Bar Red Chinese
From Joining u. n.
BY the Associated Press

American officials are prepar-
ing for a one-day, sudden-death
struggle over Communist renewal
next Tuesday of Red China's
bid for United Nations member
ship.
The simple strategy, which
has been effective in most of the
$50 fruitless attempts by the
Communists to l1nsea. Chang
Kai-shek's Nationalist delegates,
will be to avoid showdown
vote on the issue. Instead, the
fight is planned on rove to
defer action.
A quick settlement of the
perennial question would clear
the way for policy statements
next week and thus free Secre-
tary of State Dulles in time for
the proposed meeting in late
September of nine countries on
German sovereignty and rearm-
ament.
Mr.. Dulles will attend the
opening session Tuesday of the
ninth U. N. General Assembly
meeting at New York. He will
address the 60-nation assembly,
probably Thursday.
New Delegation Sworn In.
Americas new U. N. delega-
ton, headed by Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr.. was
sworn in at the State Depart
ment today.
The five representatives and
five alternates were briefed yes
terday by State Department Of
ficials on what to expect. The
usual attempt by Communist
China to gain the seat now held
by Nationalist China was fore
cast as the probable first clash
between the free world and the
Communists.
It is expected that a Commu-
mist delegate, either from Russia
or a satellite, will start the ball
rolling at the outset on a point
Of order.
DenunciatiOn Expected.
The Communist delegate is ex-
pected to denounce the Nation
alist Chinese representative as
an interloper representing what
the Reds call the 'Kuamintang
clique" and not the people of
China.
Then, a free world delegate
will propose procedural motion
to defer the whole question for
the balance of the Assembly ses-
sion. AS matter of procedure,
this would require only a simple
majority. And, perhaps more
important. it would get off the
hook those free world countries
which are more or less commit
ted to upholding Red China's bid
for a U. N. seat on its merits.
Such a motion, having parlia-
mentary priority, would touch
off debate Immediately. 1t
would be limited, probably two
speeches of a few minutes dura-
tion on each side. American Of
ficlals expect that by Tuesday
nightfall the whole matter will
have been brushed aside once
more.
