NEW YORK (JPS)—The Jew

eially announced its withdrawal
from the American Jewish Con-
ference. This action was antici-
pated following the admission of
the leftist Jewish Fraternal Or-
der into the Conference over the
protests of the Jewish Labor
Committee whose representatives
refused to take their seats at the
second session in Pittsburgh fol-
lowing the seating of the Com-

Vocational Service Director
Describes Agency's Pro-
gram for Servicemen
By M. WILLIAM WEINBERG
Executive Director, Jewish
Vocational Service
Nearly 9,000 Jwish men and
women of Detroit are in the
armed forces. Hundreds of others
have already returned to their
families and to the community.
All of us feel
a deep responsi-
bility toward
them. Words
and plans are
flowing thick
and fast on how
to help them
adjust them-
selves again to
civilian life. But
words and plans
legal rights and M. W. Weinberg
benefits, parades and celebra-
tions, information and referral
centers, are not enough.
There must be a fundamental
human understanding of the vet-
eran. The community and the
family of the homecoming GI
must be helped to understand
him. and the subtle changes that
the war has etched into his
make-up.
A generous federal government
has legislated liberally for the
veteran's external needs. He will
have the 'best medical care, pen-
sions, vocational rehabilitation if
he is disabled, higher education
at government expense if he de-
sires to go back to school.
Adjustment Problems
In drawing up these rights
and benefits, the - government
could not legislate for some of
the human factors in adjustment.
It could not write laws to cover
the need for the understanding
that must exist between the re-
turning veteran and his family,
or to provide the individual
guidance and preparation that
communities and employers, rel-
atives and homecoming service-
Men, will need during difficut
days of demobilization.
The government realized that
`skilled workers of private agen-
cies would have to play a lead-
ing part in helping returned
veterans with human problems
of adjustment. The Teal responsi-
bility of such agencies as Jewish
Social Service Bureau, Jewish
Vocational Service, Jewish War
Veterans and the Jewish Com-
munity Center lies in this area
of "veteran activity."
How They Differ
Although the human needs the
veteran brings to our community
agencies are roughly the same
needs as others, the .veteran may
differ from other persons in the
following ways:
1. He has been affected by what he
has seen and suffered in military
service.
2. His community and family have
changed, too, however, imperceptibly,
since he went. away.
3. He may find it difficult to sud-
denly exchange military regime and •
habits for their complete opposites in
civilian life, with no more preparation
than a short stay at an Army separa-
tion or Navy discharge center.
4. He .is suddenly confronted with a
whole set of decisions to make—educa-
tional, occupational, and social.
5. As a veteran. he is entitled to
numerous legal rights and benefits,
which may color his decisions.
6. He may have a tremendous urg-
ency to do something immediately to
make up for the years he has been
away. What happens soon after his
discharge may have a tremendous psy-
chological impact on his future ability
to become an effective part Of the
commun ity.
The Community's Service
This is a veteran—as nearly as
he can be described today. Al-
though modified by the general
distinctions outlined here, he is,
in the first analysis, a civilian.
He has the wants and needs of
other civilians—and no two ci-
vilians are alike.
Our agencies have a twofold
responsibility in relation to vet-
erans . needS and problems inso-
far as we are able to view them.
First, we need complete un-
derstanding of what each vet-
eran is as an individual . and
what he has gone through. •
Secondly, our private agencies
are ready to give the veteran
the advice and help and guid-
ance he neelils as he leaves mili-
tary memories and life behind
him and puts on the habits _of
civilian life once again.. As com-
prehensive as are the benefits
provided by a wise government,
just as comprehensive is the
human warmth and understand-
ing provided by our agencies of
the Jewish Welfare Federation
and the War Chest. We cannot
and will not fail the 'men who
fought for and defended our
country.
