DISABLED VETERAN
WORK PLAN SOUGHT
Committee to Make Survey
of Methods Used in
Allied Countries.
Survey of the methods used by the
tilled countries In helping their World
War disabled to get employment will be
made by President Coolidge’s special
veterans’ preference committee, of which
Representative Hamilton Fish of New
Ycik is chairman
In their efforts to find ways and
means of opening the doors of employ
ment in the Federal service wider to
disabled veterans especially, the com
mittee has decided to get through of
ficial channels all the information it can
about what has been done by those na
tions which fought side by side as allies
in the war. Gen. Pershing testified
Fridav that to his knowledge France, for
instance, was doing more for her dis
abled than the United States, in the
matter of veterans’ preference.
While the committee had not decided
definitely yesterday how it may go about
the matter of obtaining this informa
tion. it was variously suggested that the
military attaches of the War Depart
ment or the foreign representatives of
the Veterans’ Bureau would be able to
transmit such matter in short order. The
President's committee is planning to
submit a report by December 1 Hear
ings will resume next Wednesday.
