NATIONAL REPRESENTATIV! Pourth Avenue Bldg., Scattle, Wash. papers, 1411 R 7 | AID FOR HANDICAPPED | Frances Perkins recently made what may be her | last appearance before a congressional committee in | her official capacity as Secretary of Labor. Most of | her testimeny with the problem of rehabilitation of disabled workers. Although.she was dealing with the problem of civilian industrial work- ers, she evidently had in mind also the thousands of permanently disabled war veterans who will shortly | be seeking to accommodate themselves to civilian life under severe handicaps. To the 100,000 cases of perma- | nent total or partial disablement of industrial workers | was concerned occurring yearly, the Secretary guessed, on the basis of available information as to total war casualties to | date, that about 400,000 to 500,000 permanently dis- abled veterans would have to be provided for. Secretary Perkins was not thinking of the problem | of the disabled in terms of pensions and the battle- | front. She was thinking of how to provide useful jobs for the disabled who not totally incapacitated What she advises as a rehabilitation program for | civilian workers would fiot only aid the incapacitated | veteran; it would be a means of aiding thousands of | unfortunates to achieve self-respect and l‘.uppm('ss.{ The public authorities can assist rehabilitation, provide training for the handicapped, and set them on the | road to being useful. But in the end it is the private | employer who usually decides whether that preliminary | work of training and adjustment is going to assist the | handicapped to earn a living The war, Secretary Perkins pointed out, has af- forded opportunity for utilizing the handicapped—the blind, the crippled and the aged. Given proper equip- | ment, they have shown that they are capable of doing many kinds of work involving use of judgment rather than strength. And even when manual skill is required, automatic machines make possible the em- ployment of many handicapped pe: The danger | is that when labor shortages are no longer acute, em- ployers will again try to pick the fittest, discarding all workers who cannot measure up to high standards are ons. of health and physical perfectici Nobody would expect any ~mployer to take on a high proportion of disabled men and women. But! within reasons limits it is feasible to utilize the skills of those who are not capable of maximum performance.

The qualities of courage have been displayed in abundance during the war as employers have learned to adapt working to the capacities of available workers and notwithstanding, to maintain a high degree There is no reason why it cannot be of vete resource een able of efficiency | done in connection with the reconversion of industry | to peacetime requirements ! & Battle of Tanks | (Cincinnati Enquirer) “The Battle of the Tanks"—a wordy scrap usually involving U. S. tankmen—probably will continue well | |after the last soldier is back in mufti. The great convinced re | that the German heavy tanks were far superior to our own armor. A few soldiers, however, contend that | the maneuverability of U. S. | perior to the German units | American battle tactics called for the use of armor which was admittedly lighter than the Nazis’, mount- ing guns which failed to penetrate the enemy’s heavy steel protection. The argument in favor of such tanks is that they can be whipped in and out of action more quic and that they are quite as effective as ihe heavies in ordinary infantry engagements Proponents admit that U. S, tank guns will not destroy the Tigers of the Germans. But, they insist, they are not designed for such work. Antitank gur mounted on antitank equipment—and to thes vehicles should go the bulk of the antitank attack. Sherman guns are excellent, however, for ordinar armor attack against ordinary fortificatians. Tankers, however, cite examples of where the Shermans have been pitted, tank to tank, against the Tigers—and show that our units have come off a poor second. The operators of the Shermans for the most art d re that they would be willing to sacrifice a part of their maneuverability for more armor and fire power. The answer seems to be a compromise. The War Department placed in action in Europe a few weeks before the close of the war a limited number of new, heavier tanks which mounted heavier guns than the Shermans, but which still were far more mobile than the Tige Perhaps that is the answer—but it is unfortunate that it came too late to speed victory in Europe. Role of Airships (New York Times) A study by the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation of the potentialities of airships indicates that they could oceupy a useful place in the over-all picture of post- war commercial air transportation. In no sense is it held that they could replace the fast airplane. Rather they could provide a means of transportation of middle speed, two to three times that of the surface ocean vessel, of comfort and spaciousness, and of range of operation not to be found in any other air carrier. An airship of ten million cubic feet capacity, which might cost about eight million dollars, would have a range of 7,000 miles. It could easily make the journey to the Orient or to Australia nonstop. Several passenger arrangements for as many as 112 people ha been projected. Such travel would have the additional advantage of a 65-knot speed, absence of disturbing motion and great quiet. Studies made before the war show noise level, in various types of vehicles, of 91 decibels for a subway train, 71 for an airplane, 59 for an ocean liner and 51 for the airship Hinden- burg The big airship has so much lifting capacity that it should be able to play an interesting role in air cargo. For example, 180,000 pounds could be carried nonstop from San Francisco to Honolulu, and lesser amounts for longer ranges, at a cost per ton-mile which would fit in, as does the airship speed, between that of the faster airplane and the slower surface liner. The case for airships is a strong one as a vehicle supplementing other modern tra 1 forms. Th country is in a position’ to take full advantage of it.
