PAGE SEVEN
WASHINGTON, March 2J
(Special) If" you have been as
restless since you left the service
as the tail or a
bird sitting on a
swaying clothes
line, maybe you
better decide to
get into the GI
Bill of Rights
plan for training
or education,
Youll , find your
spirits going up-
' ctaira tfire rt(ms
at a time. -
It you've been ' Major Niai
placid since getting back into civ
les, then -you may already have
decided that success is mostly at
umea inrougn training, rather
that what kind of vitamin pill
you take.
But possibly you want to know
whether,' if you once choose and
commence r e course, 'you. can
change to another. 4
Perhaps' you fear you may, d is
.coyer; after you ' start, that the
selected course is really too tough
for you to take to the mat, or
that there's an unforeseen demand
for chemical engineers develop
Ing, while you're studying elec
tronicswhich" field might seem
. to be growing overpopulated.
Or maybe you start to train as
r telephone repair man, and a
quarter- through" the course you
find the country fa beginning to
yell for radio,; mechanics. In
snurt, lor one oi several reasons,
you may realize . that when you
won the toss you should have
picked the other goal to defend
Then the wind would have been
with you. -
y.
WelL don't get excited. The law
says you may change a course of
Instruction "for - reasons satisfac
tory to th e Administrator," Of
course, the Admictrator-is Gen
eral Frank THines in Washing
ton. But It's rr.y understanding
that he delegates his authority to
the regional offices of the Veter-
-aj6 Administration, and it would
be my guess that the attitude of
the V. A. would be liberal. I
mean, if you had started a course
and you ' really could produce a
sound reason why you should
change to another, you'd no doubt
get an OK. If and .when a veteran
chooses aeourse, selects a school
and becomes a part of the gov
emment's ' free - educational or'
training progfam,'.fcis tuition will
be paid. Also, Incidental expenses.
such as the cost of paper, pencils,
books and other : supplies and
equipment 'which tSe student vet-:
eran needs, will be furnished by
the school. The school j will be re
imbursed by the Veterans' Ad
ministration.' -' ; - ' -
In addition " thef V. A. will pay
the school for necessary library,
-infirmary, health," laboratory and
other similar fees." This means the
school or training; institution will
receive from the V, A. the cost
of tuition and virtually all other
necessary expenses "as are gen
erally required fcrVthe successful
completion of the course by other
students In -the 'institution. This
payment to the school doesn't in
clude board, lodging," t ravtl or
other living expenses
i --.A' "
For all pf these laboratory, in
. ftrmary, etc. expenses, including
. tuition, there's a . top limit of,
$500 for an ordinary school year.
It's important for us to remem-
- ber, therefore, that after a course
baa been chosen,' we must select
our school only after we find out
what the cost of tuition and fees
will total. "
It's easy to see that, if you se
lected a school which customarily
charges tuition" of $500, you'd
- certainly be, hitting the nail
squarely, on- the thumb; since
there wouldn't be r dime left to
pay for fees and supplies.
The law definitely limits ex
penditures for a school year to a
too of S500 and, even though of
ficials of the Veterans' Adminis
tration, might like to make an es
"veption in -your ' perhaps worthy
case, it can't' be . done. After all,
the total cost to .the country for
this progranv it "'.we ex-service
people really go all-out .for , it,
Is. going to be out ; of this world.
It could be more than i that, if
no top per-year limit had been
fixed by law.
, I've stressed that the top limit
applies to an ordinary school year.
That has ' been defined- by the
V. A. as from 30 to S3 weeks. This
definition while logical and more
- than fair, - has-caused small dis
turbances like, st breeze: blowing
the surface of a placid lake the
ivrong way. .

Hal McAbee Tells Story of
Three Days and Two Nights
On Iwo Jima Battle Front ,
IWO JIMA -(Delayed)- A field
artillery : forward observer, Ma
rine Second Lt Hal V. McAbee,
returned to his battalion position
with a tale of three days and two
nights of deadly drama at a front
line post surrounded on three
sides by Japs.
fit was the toughest 53 hours
I've ever sweated out" said the
lieutenant, who lives at 999 Lo
cust st, Salem, Ore. ;
iThe 23-year-old artillery offi
cer moved up to the forward ob
server post on the 13th day of
this campaign with seven men,
all of whom returned safely. Mc
Abee was replacing an f officer
who had been killed.
Even before his party i got to
the front lines they came under
heavy Jap sniper and mortar fire.
"We brought our artillery! to
play on the Jap fire," McAbee
said, "but all we could do was
stop it temporarily. We couldn't
knock it out"
i Sniper fire poured down; on
McAbee's position day and night
One sniper alone accounted ! for
three marine infantry dead 'and
14 wounded. , ; :
I "No one has seen anything of
war until they see what i the . in
fantry takes," added the lieuten
ant, who is a member of the 13th
regiment Fifth marine division.
"We were so close to Jap posi
sitions that we were afraid to
sleep nights," he added, 'because
there was danger that the Japs
would sneak into our foxholes
with knives or grenades." ! ?
