VAN DYKE ms Poducsd ty HUNT STOM L L e e e | VETERANS' GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NIAL WASHINGTON — I've been get-, ting some inquiries lately about vo-| cational training for disabled ex- service people, so I had to investi-| gate. What I found out I'll put down here; so, if anyone reads this stuff, he'll get an idea of the dis- tinction between education or train- ing under the GI Bill of Rights and‘\ the Vocational Rehabilitation Pro-| gram that’s been set up under Public 16--78th Congress. It doesn't seem possible, but over six months have filed by in this| procession of articles since I detailed | tHe GI Bill's provisions for the edu- cation or training of all eligible vet-| erans—whether disabled or not. iAnd that remark gels me to the main difference between training| under the GI Bill or under Public} 16. Any qualified veteran can get training under the GI Bill—disabled | or not. But only veterans, disabled} in the service in line of duty and in: need of training to overcome the! handicap of that disability, can get the advantages of Public 16. We all know there are plenty of these disabled men. The last figure 1 saw showed nearly 450,000 disabled veter: had been sent applications for vocational rehabilitation. That’s, an important section of our big Group of ex-Global War service people. Naturally all of us feel a disabled man should get a better break in training or education than the av- erage veteran. And he does—in sev- eral ways. Although Public 16 is itself called a Law, it really is an amendmeml to a law. Public 16 did two things— it added a new subsection to a law approved in 13 and it added a new part to a Veterans’ Regulation. There’s no need to write about the old law or the old Veterans’ Regu- Jation because I'd get so mixed up] 1 wouldn't be able to explain what Global War disabled men are en- titled to. Also, it’s only the new, subsection and the new part that will affect ex-service men of this war.) Subsection (f) is the new one, It simply provides that any person who served in the active military or naval forces on or after Sept. 16, 1940 and before the termination of hostilities in the present war, is entitled to vo-! cational rehabilitation. It then goes | on to refer to Veterans' Regulauon.: Part VIL So Part VII holds all the glamour; for disabled Global War vets. As it really is the whole works, I concen-' trated on it to discover who can get voeational rehabilitation—which means vocational training. 1t lines up this way; if you serv- ed in the Coast Guard, Marines, Army or Navy at any time after Sep-' tember 16, 1940 and have been hon-| orably discharged, you're over the first hurdle. The length of your ser- vice doesn’'t have anything to do with it—it isn't mentioned in the law as a qualification. It can be one day, one week, one year—as long, as it was after Sept. 16, 1940. Also| notice that your discharge must be under conditions other than dis- honorable. Next thing is, you must have a| disability that you picked up in the service or one that was aggravated by your service. I hope you haven't any, but it's a requirement under Public 16. Further, the disability. has to be bad enough to make your disabllity] | rating at least 10 per cent so you're entitled to a disability pension. 1r| you're eligible for retirement pay, because . of a disability, then your disability must be rated 10 per cent or more to make you eligible under Public 16. ©On top of all that any veteran to qualify for vocational rehabiiita- SIS tion under this Public 16 must be in need of it to overcome the voca- tional handicap created by his dis- ability. This requirement is broad- ly and generously interpreted by Veterans' Administration officials. The disabled ex-service man is giv- en the help of any doubt. I'll go on from here next time. Trouble with men is I'm the kind of ‘dueaso that's here today and here| a couple of days later. - Admiral King 1 'SNOW WHITE, 7 | DWARFS” IS BILL | NOW AT CAPITOL “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, the famous Walt Disney film in feature-length, scored a Iuiumph at the Capitol yesterday. It {is a conspicious success in novel lentertainment values. “Snow White” is a real dramatic entertainment, en- hanced with music. | The plot, adapted from “Grimms’ Fairy Tales,” deals with the wonder- | !adventures of Princess Snow White, irival in beauty to the wicked Queen | who seeks her death, but who is foil- | led by the interposition of the dwarfs | of the diamond mine, aided by the animal and bird denizens of the for- | est that find Snow White wandering | helplessly through the woods. | | Out of this fantastically glamorous fabric of folklore and fairy legend has been woven a story that carries a subtle and irrestible appeal to young and old. It is a far cry from beyond the borders of Fairyland's iancient glories to the coldly matter- lof-tact life of the 20th Century, yet | |the gap between is film magic. | | This feature is shown for the las! | |times tonight. | ARBITERS’ DECISION /IN ESKA COAL MINE iDISPUIE REPUDIATED Status of the Eska Coal Mine is isllll up in the air today, following i union repudiation of an arbitration | panel decision, it was reported here | today by D. E. Davis, Alaska Stab- | ! ilization Director, who returned here | from Anchorage this weekend after serving as chairman of the arbitra- tion panel. The strike threatens to cmbroili‘ jalso the Evans-Jones Mine, which currently is the sole source of coal for the Anchorage area. The Evans- Jones mine has been prohibited | from shipping it sproduct and has! been stock-piling during the Eska dispute, Mr. Davis said. Harry Haill, Evans-Jones President, has declared fthat he will attempt to supply An- chorage schools with coal, by truck- | ing it in from his mine. i i The Eska dispute originated Sep-! | tember 14 with workers’ demand for discharge of Herbert Tomlinson, General Superintendent of the mine. | The point put to arbitration was| whether Tomlinson should remain on duty or be suspended while griev- ' ances against him are being brought | and decided. ‘The arbiters' repor: held that Tom- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRL - JUNEAU, ALASKA Actress fo Wed Aufo Dealer - The name of the movie in which she is featured, “The Man I Love,” turned out to be synonymous with her sentiments when Bartha Vickers, above, announced that she would marry Al Herd, Los Angeles auto- mobile dealer at Las Vegas.

He also was in discussion here with Regional Forester R. Frank = Heintzleman on extension postwar agricultural research by the federal government.

Charles Carmody, Bride, Arrive fo Make Home Here Charles Carmody, Pan American dispatcher, and his bride, the for- mer Marcia Black, chief stewardess {for Pan American, have arrived on transfer, to make their home in Juneau. “Chuck,” as he is known by his; ‘many friends in Alaska, has been employed in the Pan American of- fices all over the Territory and has returned to Juneau to take Jerry McCarthy’s place, who has been transferred to Annette Island.
