unemployment among veteran? and padding health care and other benefits for the nation's 28.5 million veterans. "Because unemployment is greatest among veterans with the least education, VA is encouraging veterans to take advantage of their education benefits in some form," the regional office director said. These benefits support college level study with tutorial assistance when necessary. A veteran can draw benefits to complete high school and still have full entitlement to go on to college, or he can learn a trade in a technical school or through training on the job or on the farm. On-the-job training programs, Mr.

Smith said, are being expanded in cooperation between VA and small businesses, and a program in progress only two months has already resulted in 8,000 new programs and 12,000 new job slots 275 new job slots in the state of Utah. Education is the key factor in unemployment among veterans, Mr. Smith said. The unemployment rate is highest among the veterans with the least education. For this reason, he said, VAhas stepped up its effort to interest the disadvantaged in taking some form of training.

Steps include predischarge counseling at military bases in the U.S. and overseas, and at least four follow-up contacts with each veteran who has not finished high school. Granger; Mrs. A.J. (June) Smith, Spring Lake; Lyman R.
