Third St. "Don't Malta Mora Till Toy Sea Flegel" By JANE EADS WASHINGTON The nation's disabled persons, properly prepared and properly placed, can be efficient, safe, steady, productive, self supporting workers. The National Association of Manufacturers and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce have just completed a study which they say supports this ttatement. Under the federal-state voca tional and rehabilitation program some 53.000 disabled men and wo men were rehabilitated Into suc cessful employment in 1948. Their annual rate of Income Increased from $17,000,000 before rehabili tation to $86,000,000 after rehab ilitation. The Federal Security agency York. It It a city with a tag, too a tag hard to live up to. Sometlmet what happent here makes even the auheway feel it ought to go underground and come up In New Jersey. reports it costs $500 a year to maintain a disabled person as a dependent. It costs less than that on the average to rehabilitate him. Rehabilitation is paid for Just once, but the cost of depend ency must he paid vear after year. The 1948 rchabilitants. the agency says, are paying federal Income taxes at the rale of $3, 000.000 a year. Their increased earnings and tax payments will continue year after year. Reha bilitation makes taxpayers out of tax consumers. This month attention la focused on a nationwide program to en list public support for employ ment of the physically handicap ped. The oblects of the program are three-fold: 1. To find new Job opportuni ties for the hundreds of thousands of handicapped who would be able to work if selectively placed. 2. To emphasize the importance, in an Increasingly selective la bor market, of retaining in their Jobs the millions of handicapped persons now employed. 3. To help 1.000.000 severely disabled persons, currently outside the la bor force, to oblain needed voca. tional rehabilitation to fit them for work "During this time, when the nation is being made conscious of the problem of physically han dicapped, we should realize that the handicapped can help the American economy Instead of be ing a drain on It," says John A. Roosevelt, son of the late presi dent. Mr. Roosevelt is president of a Chicago cosmetic concern which utilizes exclusively the services of men and women workers suf fering various serious disabilities.
