Khrusfichev Train
Ride to New York
Suspense-Packed
New York - (DPD Soviet
1 Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
train ride from Washington to
New York today was suspense-packed
as a movie spy
thriller.
His crack 15 ? car, express
train was preceded by a "pilot
train" carrying secret service
men, Soviet secret police and
Pennsylvania railroad detec
tives. " The passengers on the pilot
train packed pistols instead of
luggage.
Express Next
Right after this train came
the Khrushchev express, made
up of two locomotives, empty
coach cars, three luxury par
lor cars, a diner and a glass
paneled observation car.
' Upon arriving in New York,
Khrushchev and his party
was protected by 3,300 police
men, .including a personal
bodyguard of 16 six-footers.
' More than 1,000 local, coun
ty, state, federal aid railroad
. policemen combed the entire
Washington-to-New York rail
route yesterday, checking
every bridge, tunnel, trestle,
station and crossing.
, Everyone of these points
was under guard when the
Ted express rolled through.

AcftoaD Tuirini off IFroifH (for Taxpayer
By LOUIS CASSELS
. UPI Correspondent
Washington (DPD Nearly
90,000 human beings will be
salvaged from life's scrap
heap this year through a re
markable v government pro
gram on which the taxpayers
actually turn a profit.
For want of a more imagi
native name, the program is
called "vocational rehabilita
tion." It combines -modern
medical treatment, special
training and job placement
services to restore ' disabled
men and women to useful,
self-supporting employment.
The work of manpower
reclamation is carried on by
state agencies, with the Fed-
eral government picking up
two-thirds of the cost. During
the 1959 fiscal year which
ended June 30, the total Federal-state
expenditure was
$73,337,000. . i - . :
Return Counted
As a return on this invest
ment, the nation can count
80,720 graduates of vocation
al rehabilitation programs
who resumed productive
wor during fiscal 1959.
About 4,000 of them went
into professions, including
such fields as teaching, en
gineering and medicine,
wnere trained personnel is
critically lacking. "More than
9,000 went into skilled trades,
and 7,000 into agriculture.
The others entered clerical,
sales, semi - skilled and un
skilled jobs in a wide variety
of industries.
One-fifth of those rehabili
tated during tne past year
had , been on public r relief
rolls. Their return to wage
earning status will save the
taxpayers more than $15,000,
000 a year in assistance pay
ments. ; r
Earning Power Increased
The others had been earn
ing small amounts through
part-time work. But rehabili
tation increased their earn
ing power by an average of
600 per cent.
Experience has demonstrat
ed that a rehabilitated work
er, through increased income
taxes, will repay the govern
ment . within about three
years for all that it spent on
him. Within a normal work
ing lifetime, he will pay $10
in income taxes for every $1

that was invested in his re
habilitation.
Federatetate rehabilitation
services began on a modest
scale in 1920. In 1954; Con
gress enacted Public Law 565
inviting every state to expand
its program sharply, . with
the bulk of the cost under
written by Federal grants.
Some states moved swiftly
to take advantage of this
offer. The number of workers
rehabilitated annually climb
ed to 60,000 in fiscal 1956, to
70,000 in 1957, and. to more
than : 80,000 in fiscal 1958.
The estimate for the 1960 fis
cal year now in progress is
90,000.
Many Stales Fail
aut mere are still many
states which are failing to
make full use of the oppor
tunity provided by Public
Law 565. Indiana, for . ex
ample, used only 44 per cent
of the Federal funds alloted to
it during fiscal 1959. Texas
took only 54 per cent, Ohio
57 per cent, Maryland 64 per
cent. Altogether, 17 states
used less than three-fourths of
their allotments. - '
Why any state should drag
its feet on this program is a
mystery to Miss Mary E.
Switzer, director of the U.S.
Office of Vocational Rehabili
tation.
Despite the "spectacular ad
vances made since 1954," she
said in an interview, the na
tion has barely begun to pro
vide vocational rehabilitation
services commensurate to the
need and the opportunity.
"There are at least 2,000,
000 disabled persons in the
country today who can be re
habilitated," she said.
More Being Disabled
"Each year, diseases and
accidents disable about 250,
000 additional persons or
about three times as many as
are being rehabilitated under
the present program."
Miss Switzer said that mo
dern medical science, coupled
with proper training and job
place irient' techniques,has
made it possible to rehabili
tate many severely handicap
ped people whose cases would
have been considered "hope
less" a few years ago. For
example, the rehabilitation of
paraplegics - persons para
lyzed from the waist down
"has become almost routine"
whereas it used to be regard
ed as a near-miracle.
Rehabilitation services are
tailored to the need of each
individual. They include med
ical diagnosis and treatment,
including surgery and the fit
ting of artificial limbs where
required; counseling and apti
tude tests to choose a suitable
type of work; vocational
training courses, and job
placement.
If it seems best to set up a
disabled person in - a small
business of his own, govern
ment funds can be used to

Ilorblad Objects
To Postal Change
Washington (DPD - Rep. Wal
ter Norblad (R-Ore.) told U.S.
Post Office officials in a let
ter Wednesday that he was
against the proposed conver
sion of the post office at Jen-1
nings Lodge in Clackamas
county to a branch of the Port
land office.
He told W. E. Birdsall of the
department's bureau of opera
tions here that he felt "all of
the offices in the Portland
fringe area of Washington and
Clackamas counties should be
kept independent."
Norblad said there were "al
together too many residences
in these two counties" which
have Portland addresses and
which cause "a mix-up as far
as auto license fees and simi
lar matters concerning the
help him get started. Many
blind persons, for example,
are helped to establish vend
ing stands (and are given
priority for location of such
stands on Federal property).
Whole Cost Paid for Poor
The government pays the
whole cost of rehabilitation
for the poor. Those who are
able to pay for their own
medical treatment are requir
ed to do so. !
Finding : jobs for rehabili
tated workers has become
easier in recent years. Al
though some -employers still
refuse to accept them, many
others have responded to a
"hire the handicapped" edu
cational campaign.
The chief weapon in this
campaign are hard facts - re
peated surveys . which show
that handicapped workers,
when placed in the proper
jobs, actually produce at
slightly higher rates than un
impaired workers on the same
jobs. i,
