VETERANS' GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

comparatively few places have some money to finance these programs or think they can raise some.
 So what was he getting at? Well this Our local communities and most of our states have no money to do anything about starting trade, vocational or technical schools for veterans to attend when they return. Even if they already have these, they can't afford to expand them.
 Some states have or could get some cash to increase educational opportunities. But practically none is doing a thing about it-some per haps with the mistaken idea that the federal government is going to pay $500 for tuition and fees to state institutions for each veteran who enters. But the government will pay only what is ordinarily charged for other students. Consequently, if large numbers of our service men are planning on education after they get out, there's a good chance that existing training institutions won't be financially able to absorb them. The GI education scheme would still exist, but the opportunities to get the desired education or training might be limited.
 I'm no pessimist, but it looks as though many of our service men who have been counting on getting some training or continuing their educa- tion when they come home may find they have the right, but no place to spend it.
 Well, if situation like that is de- veloping (and this educator I've mentioned says it is) that could be a swell break for black market educators.
 All a guy would have to do would be to rent a room or two and get some letterheads reading Plastic Educational Institution" Then, with a smooth story about how he owns and operates school to teach plastics, how he wants to let every veteran have the opportunity of learning about plastics, a request could be made to have the new "plas- tic school put on the states ap- proved list. After that, the Veter- ans Administration would be help less; since, if the state authorities approve a school, the VA. must &C., cept it.

WASHINGTON = used up seven columns two or three months back trying to explain the veterans eau cation plan of the GI Bill. l know reading them must have gotten as uninteresting as examining an un- derwear button.
 The education scheme seems to offer opportunities for present vet erans and for our men in the ser- vice after they return. This plan pro- vides for free education for the vet eran. But according to the eXecu- tive secretary of the National Edu- cation Association the big propor- tion of the cost isn't going to be carried by the Federal Government. And that creates a problem.
 The entire trend of education, n- cluding college education, has been for several years towards free edn- cation by public institutions-flnan- ced by local and particularly state funds. Only in the northeast sec tion of the country are there any considerable number of prlVate schools of college level Result Is that the bulk of this countrys schools-vocatio technical, trade, college and high schools-are public schools. in the sense that they charge low tuition fees and often none at all. A high proportion of their revenue comes from municipal or state funds.
 Now the Veterans Administration, under the GI Bill plan, pays tuition for a veteran trainee. But it pays only the tuition ordinarily charged by the school for all other students. GA cellar price or minimum pay ment has been fiXed) The result is likely to be that all these state and municipally financed schools will have to make up their chief costs as usual from state or local funds. This might be OK, the sec retary of the NEA told me, Ii they had the dough or if they were mak- ing any plans to raise it. But pitt fully few are doing so.
 Denver, Cleveland, New York, Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadel- phia and a few other large cities are working on plans to create educa- tional opportunities for veterans. New York State has a plan calling for regional or area technical and vocational opportunities. But these

TWO CRIMINAL
 CASES SET ON
 COURT DOCKET

Two criminal cases, scheduled tC come before the U. s. District Court here tomorrow morning concern Thomas Baldwin, alleged Army deserter, and Marie Herrick reported parole violator, it was re- vealed today by Assistant U. s. Attorney R. L. Tollefson.
 Baldwin, now serving a sentence in Federal Jail here on Sitka conviction for using a motor ve- hicle without permission of the owner, is to be turned over to military authorities for trial on desertion charges at the expiration of his jail sentence. Draft evasion charges had been filed against Baldwin, but are to be dismissed in Court tomorrow.
 Baldwin is alleged to have been an enlisted member of the Army of the United States who deserted at Sitka in October, 1941, during peacetime. The draft evasion charge was brought because of his failure to register for selective service. However, since Baldwin was still listed as a member of the Army when the draft law went into effect, he is not required to register.
 Mrs. Herrick, put on probation following conviction of bigamy at Ketchikan, was arrested recently in San Francisco and returned here this week to face charges of vio- lating the terms of her probation. She will be subject to resentence by the court if the charges are sustained
