VAlo Colled
Debts from Gl's
Washington, Oct. 27 W The
veterans administration said to
day it may dip into the forth
coming ex-GI life insurance divi
dend to collect up to $30,000,000
that veterans owe the govern
ment. "Somewhere between $20,
000,000 and $30,000,000 of such
debts may be collected from na
tional service life insurance divi
dends," it said in a news release.
"All of the individuals con
cerned are aware of their in
debtedness to the government
and know that it is deductible
from other VA payments to
which they may be entitled."
The agency said around 800,
000 veterans owe it about $70,
000,000. The individual dividend
payments will be sufficient to
wipe out less than half of the
total.
Most of the indebtedness con
sists of overpayments of subsist
ence allowance for veterans in
colleges or training under the
GI bill.
Other types of debt include
defaults on loans guaranteed by
the government, overpayments
of pensions, compensation or un
emnloyment allowances.
The $2,800,000,000 dividend
is to be paid during the first
half of 1950 to an estimated 16,
000.000 veterans.
VA officials emphasized that
deductions will be made only
from the dividends of veterans
who owe the government money.
Dividends of other veterans will
not be affected.

Air Force Lauds
Navy in Manila

Sam's navy and air force may

ers have been based on Japan
and Okinawa for some time.

cilities at Sangley Point on Ma
nila Bay in the F80 program.
The planes will be assembled
there and flown to Clark air
force base.
What's more, Turner com
mented that cooperation between
the two services was reminiscent
of the teamwork that brought
about liberation of the Philip
pines and defeat of Japan. It
was, he added, a good example of
unification practices.

Plan Non-Vet
Scholarships
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 27 UP)
U. S. Education Commissioner
Earl James McGrath today pro
posed a $300,000,000 - a - year
scholarship program for more
than 400,000 non-veteran college
students.
McGrath also suggested a sys
tem of federally guaranteed
loans to college and university
students similar to those now
available to World War II vet
erans. The two proposals, he said,
would be a start toward a pro
gram to provide higher educa
tion to "the full two million or
more of persons with college
abilities who do not now get to
college."
McGrath called the proposal a
"civilian bill of rights compara
ble to the G.I. bill of rights."
He outlined , the proposals,
prepared by the office of educa
tion as the possible basis of fed
eral legislation, in an address
prepared for delivery before the
Association of Land Grant Col
leges and Universities.
Dean Ava B. Milan of Oregon
State college, urged that more
attention be given to the family
in dealings with foreign nations.
The development of democracy
in a nation, he said, would de
pend largely on democratic prac
tices existing in the family.

Schools Likely

federal aid to education is in
evitable. The executive secretary of the
American Association for School
administration, Worth McClure,
said that for the sake of effi
ciency federal funds should be
administered by the state.
"I think we should stop fight
ing federal aid as such, and start
fighting for the state control of
that aid," he said.
McClure complimented the
state of Washington as being one
of the most advanced and for
ward looking in the nation for
education. He also advocated the
state's system of choosing super
intendents by election.
Earlier, Martin S. Miller of
Thurston county led discussion

tive methods of choosing school
leaders.

Detroit Plans
New Boundary
A second attempt to Incorpor
ate the city of Detroit with pro
posed new boundary lines wai
launched before the county
court Thursday.
Justice Edison Vickeri of the
Breitenbush district filed with
the court new petitions asking
for an election date. The new
petitions carry 86 names. Peti
tions for the first incorporation
attempt carried 100 names. The
question was voted on October
13 and lost 206 to 99 votes.
Justice Vickers states that the
map of the proposed new area
shows three miles cut off from
the east end of the territory first
sought to be incorporated or
about two and a half sections of
land. On the west end in the im
mediate vicinity of the present
town of Detroit about a quarter
of a mile has been cut off but
part of the present town is left.
On the east end a part of Idan-
ha is cut off. Eliminated from
the proposed new area are sev
eral mills including Idanha
Lumber company, Harvey Lum
ber company, Idanha Veneer
company, Pamelia Lumber com
pany and the old CCC camp.
Vickers said he figures that in
the area taken out there were
87 votes cast against the meas
ure at the first election. Some
land taken into the new area, he
figures, will add 47 affirmative
votes to the proposition. -
The county court, as yet, hat
not set a date for the new elec
tion. HELD OVER
