"In a number of cases," the President added, "Veterans have not received instruction which meeta reasonable standards."

It is noteworthy that 4,880 or 36 per cent of these employees had prog ressed from the non-management into management forces, which em phasizes the opportunity for advancement in the business." from tht Annual Report for 1949 of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. The record of this ten'-year period proves again that the op portunity to advance is indeed unusual in this up-from-the-ranks industry. More than one out of three went ahead to management positions. All had the chance to progress.
