The warning came from Franklin G. Reynolds, educa tional officer for the state department of veterans' af fairs, which administers the benefit. Reynolds urged vet erans who plan to enter school this fall under the program to start now to establish their eligibility. He said they may apply through their county service officers, their ..school registrar, or by direct con tact with the state veterans' department in Salem or Port land. The June 30, 1959 dead line applies only to World War II veterans. There is no deadline for Korean veterans.

Security (Benefits Washington - IEPD - Presi dent Eisenhower signed into law today a bill affecting the pocketbooks of nearly 90 mil lion Americans. It increases social security benefits by 7 per cent and raises taxes on both workers and employers' to help foot the bill. The measure was one of 42 the President approved in a flurry of bill signing that came a few hours before he was to leave for a vacation at Twenty One TV Quiz Producers To Face Questioning New York-dJPE-District At torney Frank Hogan said he would question today the pro ducers of the big money TV quiz show "Twenty-One" and the former contestant who charges he was fed answers. The show's producers, Jack Barry and Dan Enright, said Thursday night they would "present documentary evi dence" showing charges by former contestant Herbert Stempel are "entirely spuri ous and malicious." They said the evidence will include "statements by Stempel.". Hogan, who is investigating two yet-unnamed quiz shows besides "Twenty-One" and the defunct show "Dotto," said he would question about a dozen persons, today about charges of rigging. Hogan said Thursday he has not found any evidence that would require grand jury ac tion. He said there did not appear to be any law against fixing a quiz show unless it could be shown the sponsor had been defrauded. No Basis for Complaint "I don't think the people viewing have any basis to lodge a complaint under the penal law although they have a right to be angry," he said. Hogan said if it proves to be true some shows were fixed "it might be proper to recommend legislation or to send the matter to the Federal Communications Commis sion." The National Broadcasting Company, which carries "Twenty-One" said Thursday night the charges made by Stempel "first came to our attention over a year ago." "At that time we made an investigation and found them (the charges) to be utterly baseless and untrue," NBC said. "We are completely con vinced of the integrity of 'Twenty-One as a program and of the integrity of its producers, Barry and En right." 'Dotto' Investigated Stempel won $60,000 on the program before he lost to Charles Van Doren, who went on to win $129,000 before he was unseated by Vivian Near ing. Van Doren said he never had any reason to doubt the integrity of the show. Stempel was questioned for about three hours Thursday by Assistant District Attorney Joseph Stone. Stone said after ward "a lot of important peo ple are involved here."

Andrew J. Haley of Wash ington told a space-law con ference here,, he hopes the United States and Russia -the nations most likely to be the first to land men on the moon - will let the United Nations decide whether earth nations should be allowed to claim moon territory. Haley said specifically he would "feel happier" if the Rusisans would give some as surance they have no territo rial designs on the earth's first satellite. Regulations Urged He also urged regulations requiring nations who launch "manmade moons" to install controls that would prevent their becoming a menace to life and property. "As the satellite vehicles grow larger and larger, the metal scattered in the death plunge (when they disinte grate on .reentering the atmo sphere) Will become more and more dangerous . . ." he said. "We must therefore provide, through the means of 'radio command,' that the nation which projects a satellite will be able to guide that satellite to earth in an area free from threat to life and property, or destroy it harmlessly. "No one seems to realize the terrible implications of placing earth-circling .' ve hicles in orbit without first providing means to control these vehicles."
