Conferees on GI Bill
Approve S2,50OLoans
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Senate-House committee cleared
the first barrier yesterday on the
way to compromise on broad
program of veterans benefits by
agreeing that the Government
should lend servicemen up to $4,000
to buy or build homes, or purchase
farms or businesses.
The Veterans Administration
would handle the loans, utilizing
Government lending agencies, and
veterans would pay no more than 3
per cent interest.
The "GI bill Of rights" passed
originally by the Senate called for
Government loans at 3 per cent in
terest up to $1,000. The House
voted to guarantee so per cent of
private loans, up to a maximum
guarantee of $4,000, at 6 per cent
interest.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, said the Senate opposed the
House provisions on grounds they
set up paradise for loan sharks"
and would encourage irresponsible
lending agents to meet every boat
load of returning soldiers.
The conferees reported no agree
ment had been reached on provi-
sions for continuing the education
of men in service or on unemploy-
ment compensation features of the
legislation.
The Senate approved a years un-
employment compensation, while
the House accepted 26 weeks as the
maximum. There was some talk
of compromising on 40.
Senate conferees also were re-
ported to be battling for elimina-
ton of a House provision that any
benefits received by veterans under
the bill should be deducted from
any bonus they might get after the
war. Some Senators contended
that the bonus would have to be
handled at the close of the war and
that the present Congress could not
bind a future Congress.

In Detroit Church
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, May 24.-Stabbed and
beaten, the body of Mrs. Jean Long,
40, secretary of the pastor of the
Twelfth Street Evangelical Church
here, was found in the nave of the
church at am, today.
Police said half a dozen stab
wounds were found in the chest and
head, her clothing was torn and
disarrayed, and her wrist watch had
stopped at 8:35 o'clock. Presumably
the time of the attack on her last
night.
The Rev. Newell c. Liesemer, 80,
who lives next door to the church,
found the body after receiving a re-
port from Mrs. Longs parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert L. Croyle. that she
had not returned home last night.
Detectives said she had been es-
tranged for several months from
her husband, Kenneth Long. but
they had met almost daily since
the separation.
Police said they believed some
one may have followed Mrs. Long
into the church. There was no
effort at robbery. Mrs. Longs purse
containing several dollars and sew
eral valuable rings was found in
the basement Office.
Detectives said Mr.. Liesemer told
them he last saw his secretary
shortly after pm. when she
obtained key from him and went
to the church to prepare the Or
ganization's monthly letter to serv-
icemen.
Shortly before midnight, the pas
tor was quoted as saying, he saw a
light in the basement Office of the
church when he returned home from
calls to parishioners. He found the
church door half open, went to the
basement, found the Office empty
and the key on the desk, and, after
calling Mrs. Longs name several
times without response, concluded
she had gone home He said he then
turned out the lights and left the
church,

consecrated by the Bishop of Mon
tana, the Right Reverend Henry
Hean daniels, assisted by the vicar
of the parish, the Reverend George
T. Masuda. The services were beau
tiful, Inspiring, and impressive. Mu-
sic was by the church choir, with
Miss Inez Ratekin at the organ. Pro-
fessor Bert Skakoon played violin
solo, 'Traumeri" by Schumann, in
his usual finished manner, Miss
Ratekin accompanying.
The tWilit nave of the church was
made most effective with large bas-
kets of golden pompom, and small
button chrysanthemums, greenery,
and altar candles.
The U. S. ensign, and the Service
Flag with its % stars were at the
right of the chancel.
The six members of the vestry re-
ceived the Bishop and Father Ma
suda at the door of the nave and,
following the choir, escorted them
to the chancel At the chancel steps
Mr.. James M Blackboard read the

conducted by the Bishop. The SER
mon from Kings. 9th Chapter, was
by Father Masuda. Following this
came the confirmation service.

in 1910. "a years ago, by the Rev
erend H. NJ Green, the then mis-
sionary priest. The church building

Following the services the mem
bers of the congregation and guests
gathered at the Model Cafe for al
beautifully appointed three course
dinner. Forty persons were seated at
two long tables, the Bishop presid-
ing at the head. 1t was a most pleas
ant occasion. The Bishop spoke in a
happy vein, recalling very appre-
ciatively the work done by mem
bers of St. Luke's in past years and
his faith in the future of the church.
Father Masuda humorously re-
counted their experiences of the |
coming from Troy. when
two tire blow-outs left them to walk
five long miles into Libby They |
were rescued at Cedar Creek by two
faithful members of the congrega-
ton
In the afternoon, after the repair
ng of the car, the two clergymen
vent on to Kalispell for evening
service there.

(P - American losses in the
Normandy sector of France from
the landing on June 6 TO Au-
gust 6 were 16,434 killed. 76,535
wounded and 1904 missing
Acting Secretary of War John
j. McCloy said today.
Bringing out the cost of de-
feating the German forces in
this area, McCloy commented
at news conference:
"Under the circumstances, it
is sometimes repugnant and dis
piriting to the soldier to hear
that the war is over or is going
TO end tomorrow. - z
McCloy said the German
armies in Normandy now have
been pretty we'll shredded in
trap closed on them near Fa-
laise, and there seemed little
likelihood that they could make
a fresh stand anywhere west Of
the Seine river.
The operation in the south
of France, where Allied forces
landed the morning of August
Is, is now one day ahead of
schedule in its generations,
and is closely coordinated with
the Normandy front, McCloy
said.
