Grievances of former Rcrvico men against tlic rov cinment's vocational training inctliods were laid before the American Legion conference here today by Cornelius W. Wiekcrsliom, of tfew York, who de manded that "djfmite nnd concrete ac tion be taken to relieve the situation. " rower than 23,000 of 180,000 par tially disabled cc-ficrsicc men have been able to derive benefits under the pres ent vocational training laws, Mr. Wlckersham said. "from the information 1 hac," he continued, "it appears that tiie whole thing is badly managed. Men who de sire to take the training arc misplaced in bo many instnnces that others are discouraged. Itcd tape is twined all about the organization. There is gen eral dissatisfnetion among the men be cause the maintenance pay in so small they cannot Hc. "To me it t-cems there is n lurk of interest on the part of those diierting the wotk. No nttention seems to linvc been paid to the natural ability of the individual. The ti to make n good basket weaur out ot a m.tn whose nat ural bent is towatd electrical work." Mr. Wtckersham said the ocatioual inspectors and advisers should be chosen from the ranks of the service men.
