5-(AT)-Generai Omar N. Bradley, administrator of veterans' affairs, said today that "unless preventive action is taken in on-the-job training by both state and federal governments, there is danger that a national scandal may be in the making involving millions in federal funds." In a speech prepared for delivery before the 48th annual convention of the United Spanish War Veterans and broadcast over a nation-wide (CBS) network, Gen. Bradley declared: "The Veterans' Administration has reached the point where It must reconsider the objectives of its program. "Even without recent reports on job-placement training, it is apparent that something is wrong. Something is wrong when an on-the-job trainee can collect a $400 monthly wage in addition to subsistence while a college student with wife and child must forfeit his $90 a month to take a full-tune job for family support.

Something is wrong when It takes three years to learn to become a stock clerk in one state and three months in another. Something is wrong when a training establishment lowers the beginning wage of its trainees by an amount equal to their subsistence allowance."

Roger C. Slaughter pinpointed national attention on Missouri's Fifth district. Slaughter's renomlnation bid is a Democratic contest, but the Republicans tossed in a barb when GOP National Chairman Carroll Reece said at Salt Lake City last week that "the PAC, the Pendergast machine and the President" have combined in a "purge" attempt. Mr. Tinman announced his opposition to Slaughter at a news conference here last month in which he cited the Missouri Democrat's opposition to administration measures, adding that if Slaughter was right the President was wrong.

Slaughter took up the challenge, saying that so far as he is concerned the President made the Fifth district race a "test case" on "the future course of the Democratic party." AT HIS NEARBY HOME in Independence, Mr. Truman will vote tomorrow in the Fourth district congressional race, where Rep. C. Jasper Bell (D) is seeking re-nomination. But there is a little doubt that he will be much more interested in the contest where Slaughter is battling with Enos A.

The tax commission recommended a total equalization for the state of $7,693,600,000, compared to last year's $7,506,850,009.

Major increases in equalization over last include: Berrien', $120,500,000 to Cass, $29,450,000 to The board of equalization will meet August 19 to hear appeals from the counties against the tentative equalization and to fix its final figures.
