It Is revised verson of GI Bill of Rights for Korean vet erans has run Into a roadblock in Congress. Backers originally had hoped to get the measure to the House floor next week and to pass it with no trouble. At best, the out look now is for some delay. At worst, the bill could be shelved. Rep. Olin E. Teaguc, D-Tex., the bill's sponsor, said the hitch developed from last minute op position by a group of private school operators to key points of the veterans' measure. Would Wreck Bill He said amendments the group is supporting would wreck the bill- I the House adopts them, he said, he will move to send his own bill back to committee a step normally tantamount to killing it. 1 The measure carries free schooling, loan guarantees, and mustering out pay up to $300 for men discharged after June 27, 1950, who served at least 90 Direct VA Loans Will Be Available In Jackson County Jackson county has been desig nated as an area where the Vet erans Administration can make direct loans to veterans for the purchase or construction of homes, it was announced today by the VA.

Miller spoke of the curricu lum in secretarial science at SOC, and said he would wel come help from NOMA in get ting students interested In the courses, as too many students go to San Francisco or Portland for training, and are later cm ployed there. This creates a shortage of quaified persons for entry into business in southern Oregon, he said. He reported that he Is giving the NOMA business entrance tests to a group of students. The tests cover stenography, typing. bookkeeping, calculating ma chines, general clerking and business fundamentals, and are designed to measure the know ledge and skill of the applicants Other members of the discus sion panel were Donald E.

New Program Developed To beat racketeering that de veloped under the World War II GI bill, a special House commit tee headed by Teague developed a new school program. This new program is the source of the cur rent contention Formerly the government sent the GI scholar a monthly living allowance and mailed tuition checks, up to $300 yearly, direct ly to the school. Teague said this encouraged fly-by-night schools set up solely to get the $500 tuition checks. Under the new plan, the vet eran would get a monthly check to cover everything. He would pay his own tuition and use whatever was left to live on Many Letters Received However, House members in the past few days have been be sieged with letters and tele grams from officials of private schools contending the new plan would discriminate against them and favor tax-supported schools which usually charge lower tuition. Members are being pressed to support a scries of 20 amend ments sponsored by Rep. Wil liam L. Springer, R-IU, which in effect would restore the old sys tem, though with a lower ceiling of tuition payments. The Spring er amendments were considered and rejected by the Veterans committee.

She describes her tour through out the state, and .the portion devoted to southern Oregon says: Tells of Rogua Valley "Crater Lake, that more-than-a-mile-high sapphire gem of the Cascades, is about equidistant from Klamath Falls and Med ford. The Lodge digs itself out of the snow about the middle of June but the park is open all year. Nearby is Diamond Lake Resort, and 40 miles north Cres cent Lake and Odell Lake re sort. West of Klamath is Lake of the Woods Resort, all popular with young people. From the park the road winds through virgin stands of Douglas fir, pondcrosa, sugar and white pine to the Rogue River Valley and the orchards of Medford, which Harry and David have made fa mous with their fruit-of-the- Month Club. "The whole Rogue River sec tion is a crowded playground in summer. Californians come north to their summer cottages on the river to see the Shakespeare fes tival at Ashland, to cool off in Oregon's marble caves, to watch the Gold Rush Jubilee in jacK- sonville (August 2 and 3 this year) and see the humble begin nings of Saks Fifth Avenue there, to admire the acres of glads in Grants Pass and to go boating on the Rogue. There are dozens of motels and tourist courts on each side of Grants Pass, hotels and nightclubs in town.

Trucker Strike Off A union spokesman said the Friday midnight strike deadline for an AFL teamsters strike was called off and negotiations were to continue under the interna tional constitution of the union. Negotiations between the food clerks and employers broke off after the employers presented what they termed to be a "sub stantially better offer" than the one the union rejected a few days ago. To Ask Unfair Rating , George Lightowler, secretary of the union, was uncertain just when the, union would strike. He said he would ask the Port land Central Labor Council to put the employers on the unfair list at a meeting Thursday and that strike action may come Memorial Day. Lightowler said employers raised their offer on wages to a point that was almost satisfac tory, but the obstacles to a set tlement were the employer re fusal of a health and welfare program, time and one half for Sunday and 35c an hour premi um pay after 6 p.m. FIRE DESTROYS STORE Seattle (U.R) .

Mrs. Hellar, perplexed, tried to learn the Identity of the call er.' After some conversation, the man said: "By your voice you sound like a good lady. I would look into this thing if I were you . . . there is some of the most ter rible writing over here on the wall of the men's toilet about you." Removal Demanded Mrs. Hellar became hysteri cal. Her husband, Clark, called the bartender at the cafe and de manded the phrase be removed. Bartender Joe Montara told Hellar he was busy at the mo ment but would attend to it later.- .
