New Schools Training Veterans
. - g - .
Need Rigid Local Examination
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—District of Columbia’s exper
ijence with veterans’ trade schools may give a clue
to what has gone wrong nationally with the GI
below-college level education.
Last July the D. C. Commissioners—particularly
Commissioner Guy Mason—became concerned over
complaints against the mushrooming GI trade
schools in Washington. Over 300 academic, arts and
vocational schools had been approved by the Board
of Education for GI training. The Board was re=
quired to certify only that the schools had the
faculty and equipment to train veterans. It had no
responsibility over the quality of the training.
Nearly 10 per cent of the District vets were en
rolled in trade schools, and 15 per cent more were
taking college-level courses. The schools were doing
a $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 a year business.
There was no complaint against the old-time col
leges mor against the established correspondernce,
trade and vocational schools which had been in
business 20 years and more. All the complaints
were against the newer schools.
It was claimed that they were giving faulty in
struction in some cases and that they were training
wvets for jobs that simply didn’t exist. :
COMMITTEE WENT TO WORK
So a 20-man committee was named to investigate.
Leon G. Chatelain, jr., an architect, was named
~ chafrman. Gino Simi of the District of Columbia
apprenticeship office was made secretary. The
committee was made up o fbusinessmen, labor
representatives and public figures. There were no
spokesmen for the trade schools. But all the vet
erans’ organizations were represented to look out
for GI rights.
Almost immediately the committee bogged cown
in disputes on what it should do. There was at first
a charge that the schools had used fraudulent ¢d
vertising to attract students. Yet none of the ad
vertising was investigated.
Attendance figures were cited to show thai far
_more watch repairmen, tailors, jewelers, photo
graphers and even bricklayers were being graduated
, «from the schools than could be employed! locally.
Job placements from some schools were said to be
one in 20.
These schools countered with the claim that they
were training men for the national labor market, not
just for local jobs. And the fact was cited that every
graduate of every school or college has to go out
and sell himself before he can get a job.
One feeling developed in the committee that all
these new schools represented new business en
terprises in the community and that they should be
encouraged. Also, there was some feeling that the
schools were being fought by labor unions that
wanted to restrict the number of men trained in any
trade to their own apprentices.
After six months of wrangling over points like
these, a number of the members felt that the com
mittee wasn't getting any place and ought to dis
band. The secretary resigned. The chairman ap
pointed himself a committee of one to write a re
port.
INVESTIGATIONS COULD HALT COMPLAINTS
The moral of this story, as it can be applied na=
tionally in all the states, is that unless there is good
local inspection of vets’ schools, there are bound to
be complaints of abuses and waste of both the tax
payers’ money and the GI entitlement to educa
tional benefits,
There is a great congressional fear of federal con
trol over education. This was apparently what
motivated Congress in taking the inspection and
certification of schipols for GI training out of the
hands of the Veterans Admirdistration. Everything
was left up to local authorities—state hoards of
eduocation and their designated agencies,
% For the training and education of disabled vet
erans, the VA was given this authority. TRat pro
gram has been run off without much complaint.
But the fear of giving the VA (oo much control over
local education may have backfireu in training vets
not disabled.
One trouble is that there are no established stand=-
ards for training barbers, bricklayers or beauticians.
Schools approved in some states would never have
been approved in others. Barbering courses, for
instance, varied from 11 to 104 weeks.
Too many new schools were approved too fast.
Thus 5600, or two out of three trade schools ap
proved for vets, were establizshed after the GI bill
was passed in 1944. To correct these situations, Vet
erans’ Administration, Budget Bureau and the
Presideat have recommended that the federal gov
ernment be authorized to set minimum standards
under which these schools can be operated.

Water Supply And Fire
Protection In County
We believe the Board of Directors of the Athens
Chamber of Commerce has called attention to an
important community need by urging the City of
Athens and the County of Clarke to work out a plan
whereby water facilities can be carried into all parts
of the County that want such services and that the
resources of the City and the County can be com
bined to give citizens of the County protection from
fire.
It has been pointed out that the fire insurance
rate outside of the City of Athens, because of lack
of adequate fire protection is, for instance, three
times higher than it is in Athens for the same type
of building. The County Board of Education has not
been able to carry sufficient insurance on the school
property, owned by the people of the County, be-~
cause there is not enough money available to pay
the insurance premium. Gaines Academy building,
it is estimated, could not be replaced for less than
$35,000 to $45,000, yet the Board is able to carry
only SIO,OOO of insurance, The rate per hundred is
$2.03, considerably higher than it would be were the
building located in a community with approved fire
protection facilities,
The Chamber of Comrmerce Directors cited the
need for extending water supply facilities into the
County areas. When that is done, through the co
operative efforts of the City and County govern
ments, the people outside of the city limits of Ath
ens can be given adequate fire protection facilities.
More than that, the extension of these services to the
County residents will greatly aid the Chamber of
Commerce in attracting ney industries to this com
munity., 4nd when we use the word “community,”
we mean the county as a whole.
We congratulate the directors of the Chamber of
Commerce for directing attention to the need for ex
tending these services, for when such an objective is
reached Athens and Clarke County will be able to
more effectively compete with other communities,
like DeKalb County, where . public services have
been broadened to take in more and more rural
areas,
New Confract Is No Medicine
For the Sick Coal Industry
Though the country is as used to coal strikes as it
is to cold snaps, the stoppage just ended was espec
ially nightmarish. Everyone concerned must hope
there'll be no early repetition of the ordeal,
Gauged by the contract terms, the outcome is a
definite victory {for John L. Lewis, who won out over
much tougher obstacles than he usually faces. He
didn’t get all he asked for, but he gained a substan
tial wage boost for his miners, a hike in payments
to their pension and other welfare funds and a un=
ion shop—subject to court ruling.
The operators scored a few points, They got rid
of the old contract clause saying the miners would
work only when “willing and able.” And they suc
ceeded in limiting “memorial” lay-offs to five days
a year. Both features have been open doors to the
calling of strikes.
But -the contract isn't thé only measure. What
will happen to the coal industry as result of this
agreenrent and the painful process that led up to it?
The industry is already sick. Everything suggests
its illness has grown worse because of the many
production interruptions last year and this.
In the past decade repeated coal strikes have
turned more and more fuel usgrs to other more re
liable energy sources. This has so reduced the mar
ket for coal that, with a five-day work week, the
nation’s coal needs could be supplied by a mine
labor fore 2 100,000 men smaller than today’s,
The new contract offers no cure for this situa
tion. Its sole contribution is an expiration date 28
months in the future. But what will happen when
production once more gets ahead of tonsumption?
President Truman, not Lewis or the operators,
made the only sound move to cope with this prob
lem. The President proposes a commrission to study
the industry and recommend ways of getting it
into a healthier basis.
The solution may ultimately mean closing many
mines and shifting workers to other jobs. But that's
better than three-day work weeks for all miners.
What's the value of higher wages if you don’t get
a chance to earn them full time?
Lewis claims he helped not merely his own men
but all labor, by demonstrating that the Taft-
Hartley act is worthless,
Let's be clear. The Taft-Hartley act is a complex
statute of many provisions. The only feature really
tested by the coal strike was the emergency in
junction designed to delay—not prevent—strikes,
On the basis of this stoppage, no sweeping state
ments can be made regarding the act’s overall ef
fectiveness.
But the mine walkout did show that the injunc
tion is futile as a delaying device if the workers are
aroused enough to defy court orders. In this case
they probably would not have gone back even had
the court found the union guilty of contempt and
imposed heavy penalties for non-compliance.
But proving the injunction unworkable doesn’t
necessarily make the whole law useless. Nor is it
an answer to an unworkable provision to propose
no provision at all. The public is entitled to some
kind of safeguard against strikes that imperil
health and safety. If the injuaction isn't that pro
tection, then Congress should devise a better
plan.

Bronchieclasis, Lung Disease, Is
Fouoht With Suraery And Penicillin
BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Bronchiectasis is a lung condi
tion in which the small pockets
in the lungs wnich are normally
filled with air when a person
breathes are broken down, enlarg=
ed and filled with mucus, fluid or
semi-solid material. If one could
see the areas which are affected,
they would look like a bunch of
grapes.
The symptoms of bronchiectasis
are generally like those of any
other irritation in the lungs.
Chronic cough, usually with the
bringing up of a fairly heavy
mucus sputum, sometimes having
a foul odor, is common. This, how=
every, is like any other chronie
infection involving the breathing
apparatus so that it is not enough
on which to make a di_agnosis:
The diagnosis, therefore, de=-
pends on sficial examinations, in=-
eluding g an X-ray picture.
Also the use of a remarkable in
strument called a bronchoscope by
which the dilated pockets can be
seen is helpful.
Bronchiectasis interferes with
health and ability to work and it
can produce dangerous complica
tions and even death. It should
be prevented if at all possible.
Since it can come from so many
different causes, a person who has
a long-continued cough, regardless
of what is producing it, ought to
try to get at the bottom of the
trouble early and stop the diffi
culty before bronchiectatsis has
had a chance to set in.
Once bronchiectatis has been
diagnosed, treatment should not
be long delayed. Of course the first
step is to see if the condition
which produced the bronchiectasis
is still active and to use whatever
is necessary to attack the under
lying cause. ~
The medical treatment of bron
chiectasis has not been highly suc=
cessful, at least umtil recently.
However, penicillin oz one of its
relatives, if given early enough

SURGERY VUSED
The other method of treatment
which is satisfactory for many ot
those with bronchiectasis, even
when the conditlon is advanced,
is surgery. One would expect
that surgery of the lungs would
be extremely delicate and this is
true. Nevertheless, the part of the

For those wmo are unfortunate
enough to have developed an ad

surgery is probably the only good
hope of restoring health and pre

Prevention, of course, is most
important. Bronchiestasis often
follows long-continued sinusitis or
chonic bronchitis. When diseases
of these kinds can be nipped in the
bud, bronchiestasis can be fore
