House Group
Approves GI
Bill of Rights
WASHINGTON, May 3- -iJPf
The senate-passed "GI bill of
rights" was approved today by
the house veterans committee with
it' - - - -
unemployment j compensation al
lowances: sharply reduced and
government - guaranteed, loans to
veterans increased.
Chairman . Rankin (D-Miss.)
said he will seek house action next
week, t- k
As approved after fifteen days
of almost continuous f committee
session, the bill provides - unem
ployment compensation on flat
basis of $20 weekly for a maxi
mum of 26 weeks out of the first
two years after discharge, and for
government - guaranteed, loans of
$1500 fo the purchase of homes,
farms orf small business.
The senate bill provided unem
ployment pay for a maximum of
52 weeks, ranging .from 215 ' to
$25 weekly, depending on the
family status of the veteran.
The senate put a $1000 top on
loans and provided for their is
suance by the veterans adminis
tration. The committee bill would
allow the administration to guar
antee loans by private, state or
federal institutions.
The committee also removed the
senate's top of $500,000,000 for
hospital ; construction, authorizing
the expenditure of whatever
amounts are necessary."
Main provisions on educational
opportunities for . veterans were
left unchanged, although the house
group emphasized handling of the
program by the states and the vet
erans administration. The senate
bill called for ah educational ad
visory council to be appointed by
the president. The committee re
duced to 90 days the requirement
that a veteran have six months of
service to be eligible for educa
tional benefits.

Road Gravel
Almost Causes
Train Wreck
Loss of life and heavy property
damage to railway rolling equip
ment on - the i Oregon Electric
were possibly averted when an
engineer on one of the trains
slowed down his train in t'r to
prevent erafling at a crossing,
according to E. H. Showalter,
superintendent of the SP&S rail
way, which operates the Oregon
Electric. He did not state where
the "near-accident" occurred.
Showalter wrote the I county
court that six to eight inches of
gravel had accumulated over and
between the rails on a crossing,
evidently 5 dropped by a county
grader operator. He v asked the
court t request Its employes to
exercise great care in operating
their equipment and to clean up
dirt if it should fall, especially
between the flanget of the rails.
Danger of derailment is f greater
when gravel ' accumulates in the
flanges than when it scatters on
top of the rails.

Missouri Still
Hit by Floods
By the Associated Press v
Two obstreperous streams add-,
ed fresh flood complications in
Missouri yesterday and the Illi
nois "river continued dangerously
high below Beardstown, EL, but
the flood threat of Texas , rivers
was eased by a change in weather.
A cool wave moved into the
state ending a three-day period of
wind and ruin storms that caused
eight deaths and sent east and
central Texas rivers on aTamp-
age. ,
In central Missouri, the Grand
river, which is extremely respon
sive to rainfall, boomed 14.7 feet
fn 24 hours at Chilioothe and the
Osage river climbed seven feet
above flood stage at Tuscumbia.
Torrents from the two tributaries
checked recession of the Missouri
river's flood.
Federal troops and state militia
men kept up a light on the Illi
nois river to save several satur
ated and weakened levees. The
river has held its flood crest al
most stationary at Beardstown
and below for more than 80 hours.

Shows Drop
In Attendance
KANSAS CITY, May -SJ-CflV
Al though the , church has shown
gains in almost every other de
partment, Methodist Sunday
school enrollment has j dropped
about 800000 in tiie last decade,
a report to the church's general
conference disclosed today, j ;
Bishops Paxil Bn Kern of Nash
ville, G. Bromley jOxnam of Bos
ton and H. Istet Smith of Cin
cinnati, who headed the commit
tee preparing , the! report, pointed
out that Methodist Sunday schools
had 9808,81 members in 1934,
but the figures had dropped to 5,-
488J39 by 1939 and to 5,040,511
by 1943, a lU percent loss for the
ten years. ,;-.. , , .'
Nearly 'all protestant churches
from which figures were avail
able ahowed aimilar losses, the
bishops said. The Presbyterian
church in the USA, for example,
was down 19.5 per cent, and the
Congregational Christian church
lost 20 percent. " j ' ' I
A variety of reasons have been
offered for tius failure of the Sun
day school to hold its own, aU the
way from a decline In birthrate
to too much Saturday night par
tying, the bishop said. But they
felt 'that the- rise in secularism
and a corresponding drop in spir
itual life, the Inferior quality of
work in many Sunday schools, in
effective pastoriai leadership: and
lack of evangelistic zeal all con
tributed. . -M - .
