Independence through work for disabled veterans urged
Lief Fredericks, Montana state placement officer for the federal board, asked the Butte Rotary Club to back a program helping wounded veterans gain independence through vocational training. He criticized Congress for not sustaining the federal employment bureau and noted 10 to 100 unemployed veterans in each Montana city and parades of former service men on the coast. He cited unions' cooperation to place a disabled miner as an auto mechanic and urged broader support, with government paying the trainee. The Rotary club agreed to consider the matter.
