Your GI Rights QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ON sERvIcEMEN's PROBLEMS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff COrreSpOndent

Washington, May 3.-One of the big worries of GIs overseas is get ting a job when they get back. Here are some questions they've asked about it:
 Q. One of the boys in our outfit claims that if we want to get un- employment compensation when we get out, under the GI Bill of Rights, we have to take any kind of a job, even if it's in factory where there is a strike. Is he right?
 A. No. There is no requirement. in the GI Bill which says you must take a job where there is any kind of labor dispute. Refusing to take such a job will not disqualify you for your unemployment benefits. Neither must you take a job that will create undue hardship or one that will take you away from your family The only requirement is that you report to the local office of the U. s. Employment Service once a week and state you are available for Work-in your own line.
 Q. expect to be discharged from the Army very soon. have been in service four months. If I cai.'t work, how many weeks of unemployment compensation can l get?

 A. You may apply for a pension to the Veterans Facility, White River Junction. Vt. That agency will determine whether or not you are entitled to receive payment.

L|TERACY RISE
 SEEN CUTTING
 STRIFE IN INDIA

Chicago, May 3. - (UP) - Poli- tical strife in Inoia will diminish with greater industrialization and education, according to Shiva Rao, New Delhi. India, journalist.
 'In a sense, the condition of the Indian worker is improving" he said in an interview here. But with economic betterment, based on mutual programs submitted by party groups, political attitudes are bound to evolve into some sort of agreement"
 Rao, correspondent for the Madras Hindu and the Manchester Guardian, said the rate of literacy in India's industrialized areas had risen lat least 50 per cent" since World War I The rise, he predict ed, would evolve more intelligent people and, consequently, smoother political relations.
 In Bombay City. textile center he said 59 per cent of the resi- dents were literate. compared with only one out of five before World War I.
 Progress in India since World War I has been great, mostly due to industrialization of the state," he declared. The trade union movement also has done great deal toward awakening the indus trial movement, which, in turn, has involuntarily raised the state of literacy."
 He attributed the rise in literacy to-:
 1. The growth of education, which he described as almost phenomenal" since the last world war.
 2. The rise in industry wages, which has drawn peasants and middle-clasS youths to the cities where educational facilities are available.
 Rao said Mahatma Gandhi's Congress Party and the Moslems had formulated an economic pro- gram which rapidly was being &C., cepted by the masses.
 If the program is workable, it can't be long before their interests will bring a solution-Which must, and shall be, economic" he de- clared.
 The slightly increasing number of Hindu-Moslem marriages. he said, was an indication of a lessen ing friction between the two clans He also maintained the granting of a dominion status to India by Eng land would go a long way to- wards solving the country's social I and economic problems.
 If Britain gives dominion status and works out problems of the is- sue, India will have much greater chance of remaining with Eng land, he said, My country will make no decision until it sees what is happening to collective security" |"

Senate Okavs Fleminq Bill

Hartford, Conn, May 3-UP)- House eRpublicans caucused today on the proposed one cent a gallon gasoline tax increase and ajority leader Herbert L. Wanderer, Bethel, indicated it would receive House ap- proval.
 Highway Commissioner William J. Cox spent some time at the caucus explaining the bill. which would raise about S4,000,000 a year. After the session Wanderer said "it se:m- ed to be the sense of the meeting that the epublicans will act favor ably on the bill"
 The bill still is before the finance committee which several weeks ago heard organized opposition from truck owners and automotive organ izations. The revenue would go to- ward postwar highway construc- tion.
 Wanderer said that the House Republicans, however, would oppose constitutional amendment which would earmalk all motor vehicle receipts for the highway depart ment. He said that while this was the present practice, there were ob- jections to writing such a manda- tory provision in the constitution.
 The Senate tackled a light calen- dar today and approved eight for feited rights resolution. One of them was that of Thomas J. Fleming, former Waterbury streets superin- tendent who served a one to three years term as a participant in the municipal financial scandal there six years ago.
 A bill to retire Darien Town Court Judge Charles Bates Dana on half salary for life, was approved. It also was voted to award $500 damages to Patrick E. Kiernan, Bridgeport, for a hand injury sustained while in the employ of the state.
 A favorable report was received on bill permitting female enter tainers to work after 10 D. m., but not more than 40 hours a week.
 While the senate voted to adhere to its non-controversial policy for Fridays, it was announced in the House that this restriction would be removed for the first time tomorrow.

TEACHERS BILL
 PASSES SENATE.
Houses Vote to Equalize Teachers Pay in State
 Confidently Expected
By LEGISLATIVE REPORTER


 Democratic Senators aPtrick Wal lace and Edward P. Egan yesterday voted in favor of the bill passed in the Senate providing for equaliza- tion of salaries for women teachers throughout the state. At press time today the House was preparing to convene following lengthy caucus and no action was taken on the bill there.
 Passage of the bill, in the House, would grant the long-sought equal ization of salaries of the Water bury women teachers, now in dis proportion of $500 with that of the men teachers. It has been estimated tht the adjustment will amount to about $30000 in the city's budget.
 The bill, as passed, provides:
 No town or city or other munich parity or board of education there of shall discriminate on the basis of sex in the determination of the amounts to be paid or the pay ments to be made to persons en- ployed as teachers in the public schools. This act shall take effect July 1, 1946"
 The local women teachers have made a concerted effort locally to have abolished the $500 differential now existing between their annual salaries and those of the men teach CTS despite the fact the work is identical. In cases where depart ments have been headed officially by women teachers the men teach CTS working under their jurisdiction are receiving more pay.
 Their efforts were repudiated twice by the education board and the mayor although some comprom- ise was foreseen for the coming year. Passage of the Bill in the House will make the payment man. datory by the city.
 The teachers here were supported in their efforts by various women organizations.

 IenS of thousands of fully armed Germans actually are trying to find refuge in the British lines. It is a rout of tremendous proportions. the final disintegration of the Wehr- macht.
 They are coming in aboard all kinds of vehicles, with cars and cats damned three abreast on the highways. Ten throw their guns and ammunition into the ditches at every opportunity.
 some cars are packed with high staff officers, privates and women nurses. All are jammed in in- discriminatory in their rush to escape the Red Army.
 Generals are limping along on loot. Civilians fleeing with them speed the flight by spreading rumors that the Russians are just on our heels"
 From time to time Germans leap rom stalled cars and take to the woods Some are found changing into civilian clothes in the hope of escaping capture
 And everywhere the British tank CTS and infantrymen hear the Ger mans asking the same question: Where do we go?"
 All of these Germans say the war Is over, now that Berlin has fallen.
 One German Red Cross column IS stretched out along the road for nearly 20 miles. A nurse told me they had been treeking for days with many more thousands behind them. Many of the refugees, ex- cept for the organized remnants of the German army, are in complete panic.
 Estimates on the number of Ger mans fleeing toward tn, British lines vary. Some say 100000. Others figure it closer to 2500OO.
 A small army of British troops has been set aside merely to organ ize the German movement and take away the weapons of the surrender ing enem. soldiers.
 The German generals here have no armies to surrender, only dis organized rabble.

Boy Uncovers Mass Murders
BY EDWARD V. ROBERTS

London, May 3. - (UP) - A 15- year-old Czech boy who was forced to work for two years in the Terezin Jewish extermination camp at AuschWitz-Birkenau was credited today with uncovering one 1f the most sadistic Nazi mass murders.
 Czech representatives on the United Nations War Crimes Con- mission revealed that the boy, Jenda Weiss of BlCo, was liberated re- gently from the Buchenwald prison camp where he was brought from Terezin year ago.
 Jenda testified that up to 2,0O0 Jews were killed monthly in the Terezin gas chambers on orders of Herr Moll, director of the camps murder mill. The boy himself, who was imprisoned at Terezin with 1,500 other Czech youths when he was 12 years old, escaped death only because he was strong and able to work
 A transcript of his testimony taken by the War Crimes Commis- sitn charged Moll with the delib- crate murder of every man, woman and child in Terezin who was re- garded as unfit for arduous labor
 Jenda Wa sassigned to work in the camp crematorium where, he said, he was forced to witness Mon's dail yatrocities.
 The boy said Nazi Guards stripped the victims and herded them into the gas chambers with clubs. The smallest children were thrown in through windows to die with their elders.
 Jenda accused Moll of burning special victims alive and torturing others by hanging them by the hands and feet. Then he would shoot off their hands and feet be- fore killing them.
