Hear Talks on G. I. Bill of
.. Rights, Job. Aims.
and adjutants drew to a close today, | giving way to the annual fall
morning, one conducted by John T. Taylor, legion legislative director,
in the European theater of operations and now acting surgeon general of the veterans’ administration, who described the hospital setup | for rehabilitation and care of dis-| abled veterans. When the national executive committee convenes tomorrow, a veteran of world war II will sit in on the sessions with each member. The new Legionnaires will attend meet-| ings as “consultants” in formulating Legion policies applying to War II veterans. “The national executive committeémen wanted the benefit of world war II thinking in considering veterans’ programs and other policies for 1946,” national Commander John Stelle explained in announcing the plan. Job Opportunities
At Tuesday's session commanders | troops
and adjutants heard a pledge that
the veterans’ employment service
will carry out the spirit and intent of the G. I. Bill of Rights in providing “job opportunities for returning service men.
The pledge was given by Perry Faulkner, director of the employ-
‘ment service, who said:
“It is the traditional policy of there
“American people as written into the
record of law that veterans shall be given. special and preferential service in the field of gainful employment. The veterans’ employment service exists to carry out this principle and this tradition.
“It is our purpose to build up |
an organization under this bill (the G. 1. Bill of Rights) which will insofar as is possible give veterans every opportunity to demonstrate their skills and capacities, pld or newly-acquired, on jobs.” Another highlight of yesterday's meeting was the 17th annual national telegraphic membership roll call which revealed an all-time high | advance membership for 1946. The
