The funds entrusted to this commit
tee were allotted by the National War

the total fund of 100000 set aside
for the aid of ex-service men in their
education. The national fund was in
creased by further appropriation to
$4,750.00o. In the administration of
this fund and in order to make it's ben
entsa available on equal terms to all
ex-service men, more than 1000 State
and local committees were organized
enrolling more than 1000 volunteer
workers. These committees Have re-
ceived the applications of ex-seryice
men, made the necessary fnyestiga-
tons and, in accordance with general
national regulations, have made the
individual awards, totalling to 54141

al scholarships 305, having total
value of $13,421.1S. The former were
granted to ex-service men who had
returned to college or university to
complete the course which the call of
war service had interrupted. The lat
ter. general scholarships, were grant
ed to ex-service men who, not finding it
possible to return to school, desired to
continue their education that they
might better adapt themselves to their
changing trade or vocation. It has

who. when her husband. Nicola

labor leaders, were convicted ct first
degree murder here a rnnsh ago,
became hysterical in the courtroom
and screamed again and again,

nine years o'd. have been living in
the beautiful Brandeis mansion here

contributed a large amount to the
Sacco-Vanzetti defense fund and at
tended the trial daily, obtained per-
mission from Judge bIdHocis W iot
them use the house.
The Brandeis homo Is near the
Norfolk county Jail, where Sacco is
confined pending an appeal to the
Supreme Court, and Mrs. Sacco and
his children visit him three or four
times a week.
Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted
Of the murders Of Frederick A Par
menter and Alessandro Beradellf In
an $4,000 payroll robbery at South
Braintree. The trial aroused labor
and liberal organizations throughout
the country, charges being freely
made that the two Italians were
being railroaded by powerful bust
ness interests for their activity in
the labor movement here.
Plan to Appeal Case.
Their conviction of first degree
murder greatly surprised friends of
the defendants, for the verdict fol-
lowed the testimony of witness after

were far away from the scene of
the crime on the crime date.
Throughout the long trial the de-
PENDANTS were confined in an iron
