VA Is Opposed To Veterans Exploited As Free Labor Vaux Owen. Georgia regional I manager of the Veterans Adminis- | tration, has branded as misrepres- i en tat ions statements that the VA | is opposed to veterans training on "live projects". Owen said the VA highly favors those programs where veterans train on actual permanent "live projects," but is opposed to veter ans being exploited as^free labor. ^ A recent VA directive, effective j Feb. 1. ordered that tuition no | longer be paid to vocational schools for the time that student veterans spend working on live construc tion projects without pay. "That does not mean," said Owen, "that veterans cannot work cn iive projects.' They can. How ever, such work should bo done as 'job training.' with the employer paying veteran trainees the stand ard trainee wage. VA will pay veterans subsistence allowances in the amount to which they are en titled for job training." Owen said an investigation by VA's Georgia Regional Offiee re vealed that one vocational school had used veterans to buNd eounty school buildings, clubhouses for private organizations and an addi tion to a church. In another Georgia eounty. Owen said, a local school com mittee wrote a circular to parents of school children telling of plans to renovate the school building "with free labor obtained under the veterans training program."
