sent lw Proebstel for an interpretation I
of the law as to the standing of the
S. A. T. C. men under the law. The
interpretation mndo locally ln the

determine the eligibility of S. A, T. C.

several leads as to why certain cases

show a man was Inducted Into the ser
vice at one place and sent to one of
the schools without having volunteer
ed for such service and he was in
structed In Class D. studies, such as
carpentry, auto mechanics, radio, en
gineering, etc., and received an hon
orable discharge', and drew travel pay
to place1 of Induction, he would be en
titled to receive the benefits, provid
ing ho had enough service, .
: "On the other hand, where a man
was attending a college r sehooLas a
student where one of the schools was
located and enrolled In the S. A. T. C.
branch, it does not chango his status
as a student regardless of studies he
might have received, and he would
not bo' entitled to the benefits' under
