needs of veterans" by pulling
together related government
activities. One congressman,
leaning slightly to the left,
stated. "The key to helping
the veteran lies in loosening
the white knuckled grasp on
the federal purse strings by
Nixon's Office of Manage
ment and Budget."
The
(’resident's final statement
was "We trusted them with
our country’s honor in Viet
nam . . . they met the test,
now we ran trust them in
our industries and places of
business here at home."
Veterans Service Coordi
nator Michael Tripp and
Veterans Education Center of
Oregon representative Jer
ome Griffin are currently in
the process of a plan to wire
Western Union telegrams to
Senators and Congressmen
to apply the most effective
lobbying effort.

Service or the Veterans

In January of 1972 the de-
escalation of the Vietnam
war began, and thousands of
Vietnam veterans from all
parts of the country re
turned.
They were torn
apart mentally and physically
and many were unable to
deal with the post Vietnam
syndrome that would stymie
the veteran in his pursuit for
readjustment and a chance to
live a normal life in Ameri
can society.
Thi^ problem
was even more severe for
the minority veteran, who
once again had to survive by
any means necessary.
Although President Nixon
appeared to have an interest
in the veterans, only a few
programs were constructed
around the country to deal

veteran:
One is the Vet

Oregon, and the other is
Project-Return.
Although
the mayor has created a task
force on veterans affairs, it is
the opinion of many veterans
that it has been very un
successful in providing any
alternative ways lor the
veteran to receive an equal
opportunity to better him
self.
Recently a bill was ap
proved to increase the vet
eran’s benefits to $220 a
month, which was. even at
the time, long overdue. Con
sequently another increase
was badly needed. The two
bills currently in Congress
are Senate Bill 2784 and
House Bill 9985.
The proposed guidelines of
the bills are: a raise in the

Director Samuel J. Cornelius
at the fourth annual Kansas
OMBE dinner.
"OMBE wants to build
strength where strength is
most crucial
at the state
and local level," Cornelius
said.
"A fully effective
minority program requires
the active participation of
individuals closer to the
scene than Washington. D.C."
"This reorientation makes
