metal work.
For the Veterans Administration,
Mr.. Haycock said he had conducted
a survey of every educational insti-

practically all of them" eager to
have veteran students.
THE wide range of educational
needs OF our young men returning"
he said, will be challenge to all
of us who call ourselves educators. "
MI, Haycock stressed that men
who had white collar jobs" before

Perhaps not this year, but very

the registration of veterans will

The Districts 160 public schools,

Compromise Reached
On s Months Delay
In Pearl Harbor Trial
By J. A. o'LEARY.

House and Senate conferees COM
promised today on a six-month ex-
tension Of the time in which pro-
ceedings may be started In any trial
growing out of the attack on Pearl
Harbor. With the current extern
sion expiring today, both branches
will attempt to act on the compro-
mise this afternoon and send 1t to
the White House.
The Senate voted originally for,
one year, but House Republicans
succeeded in cutting the time down
to three months, which would have
required the Government to. start
proceedings before the coming elec-
ton.
The conferees also agreed on a
provision authorizing the Secre-
taries Of War and Navy to investi-
gate the Pearl Harbor disaster dur
ing the six months and to institute
such proceedings as the facts NAV
justify, but with no mandatory di-
rection to file charges. Rear Ad-
miral Husband e. Kinmel and Mai
Gen. Walter G. Short, who were in
command when the Japanese at
tackled Hawaii, have been placed on
the retired list, but no charges have
been filed.
The pending resolution does not
refer to any individual, but would
apply to anyone, military or civilian
Conferees pointed out that any
civilian trial growing out of the
attack could be started before De-
cember Z without any action by
Congress, since civil trials are COW
cred by a three-year statute Of lin,i-
tationS.
Senator Chandler, Democrat, Of
Kentucky contended yesterday all
the sparring between the Senate and
House is unnecessary. Admiral KIM

waive the statute Of time limitation,
