8 The Newi-Revlew, Roseburg, Ore. Tliuri., Feb. 16, 195C Gl Education Program Full Of Abuses; Congress Ready For Remedial Legislation By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON, At Education of veleram hti become big busi ness, but the Veterani adminiitration (VA) aayi neither veterans nor taxpayer! are getting their money'i worth. In a report to Congrei VA citea 258 easea of what it calli abuiea of the CI education program. Here are two: 1. The board of director of a jewelry-repair achool bought a lo cal aupply company and aold aup- piiei to tne acnooi at a a per cew markup. VA paya tor all aupplise needed by veterani in their train ing. 2. A radio and television achool billed VA for leaaona never given to veterans. VA recovered $125,000 on that one. Since passage of the GI bill in June, 1944, tome 7,600 new schools have been act up to train vetei ans. About 5,700 are profit achoola. These achoola are approved by individual atatea, not VA. They are turning out thouaanda of carpen ters, brick layera, radio and tele viiion repairmen, dressmakers, tailors, mechanics, etc. About 850.000 veterans are train ing in under-college-leyel achoola The number ia increasing. But VA aays that while by and large the achoola are honest the training ia not always good. And congress men aay there will never be enough jobs in these trades to han dle the huge turnout. Rep. Wheeler (D. Ga.) tells of a Philadelphia aehol which waa turning out meat cuttera. It ran a three-shift day, five houra a ahift, using VA-purchascd meat. It is the same story in other towns and cities. VA aays these schools thrive in unemployment areas. Any achool which can get ap proval from Ita stale can go into GI bill education. VA must pay the bills until it can show that the achool is not giving good training. But VA aays it cannot police more than 40,000 approved achoola all the time. It can check attendance recorda but says these recorda are sometimca falsified. Craft la Intimated Some atates are believed to have encouraged mushrooming achoola for the money they bring to com munity and atate. A achool ,of 1, 000 traineea represents about a $100,000 a month veterans' subsis tence payroll, not counting tuition to owners, and supplies and equip ment. VA has Issued a regulation which will forbid a veteran from awitch " ,','""e "o"1" '" b,d . VAmk,ng any regulation, I designed to curb a veteran h t-mi ing. Ilia bill, passed by the Sen ate, would al ov a ,i awitch freely from one courae to another. The House naa hoi yii acted. ni The VA says that if the Taft bi'l should become law the cost of GI education, now running at a $2,500,000,000 a year clip, would perhaps1 double. Barken of the Taft bill aav that if VA hai its way schools will suf fer from too much federal inter ference and) veterans' training will be curtailed.
