State Counties Protest Finance Of Vet Affairs Government Wants Help, Hershey Says BIG RAPIDS, Jan. 20.-(IP)---Clari- fying a situation reported to be de- veloping from protest of many Mich- igan counties that they were unable or unwilling to finance councils of veterans' affairs as now arranged under state administration, Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of selec- tive service, has advised Rep. Roy O. Woodruff that while the federal gov- ernment retained direction and re- sponsibility for rendering aid to the veterans, it was seeking the fullest cooperation from state agencies in meeting this obligation. This information was disclosed to- day by Arthur E. Anderson, editor of the Big Rapids Pioneer, who had previously written Woodruff as to the attitude of several county councils. In his letter to Rep. Woodruff, Gen. Hershey said: "Under the selec- tive training and service act of 1940 the director of selective service, has the responsibility of rendering aid in obtaining employment or re-employ- ment in his old job for every veteran who qualifies under provisions of the act... "Under direction of Gen. Leroy Pearson, state director of selective service in Michigan, a state program of veterans' assistance is being or- ganized through all local boards."
