YOUR G. |. RIGHTS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, Dec. r. Here
are. some typical questions from
relatives and friends of veterans
and, CT regarding their right as
veterans:
@. My son was an engineering
student when he was taken out of
college and put into the Navy.
He has been overseas almost a
year now. He doesn't have enough
points for discharge. But now ]
read that they aren't drafting men
who are engineering students.
Does that mean that my son can
get out of the Navy now and 60
back to school?
A. Now that your son is in the
Navy he will have to wait until
he gets the necessary points for
discharge or until the point score
is lowered. The Selective Service
regulation regarding the drafting
of technical students has nothing
to do with Nays rehabilitation
program.
@. I am planning to make ap-
plication for loan to buy a
house. Do I have to apply through
Washington Or can the Veterans
Administration regional off ce
which is few miles from my
town handle the whole thing?
A. The regional office is vested
with full authority to take action
on applications for benefits avail
able to veterans, including loans
and other provisions of the CT
Bill of Rights. It also can provide
medical service for physical ex-
aminations and outpatient clinical
treatm ents.
@ To settle an argument would
you tell me approximately how
many veterans are receiving I'M
employment readjustment allow
ances?
A. According to the last repor
more than 100000 unemployed
veterans were receiving readjust
ment allowances. That is only one
veteran in about Is.
@. I figured that my son in thu
Navy had more than enough
points for discharge. Then a few
days ago got a letter from hin
saying it would be a couple o
! years before he would get on
because he was regular Navy
What does this mean?
A. 1t means he enlisted fol
specific period and can't get ou
until that period is up. !,
Questions will be answered only
in this column-not by mail.)

ETHYLENE BLAMED
in FATAL BLAST

A coroner's investigation led by
Deputy Coroner, E. L. Strickland
into the. death of Durant V. Bald
win, Wilmington produce broker
and his Negro helper, Ernest Kelly
who were killed suddenly Sunday
in an explosion at the New Han
over Mutual Exchange warehouse
at Wrightsboro was concluded yes
terday afternoon.
The coroner's office reported
that the men came to their death
as a result Of the impact from the
explosion. Strickland stated that
no additional or detailed cause OF
the blast had been found. "Wheth.
er one of the men lit cigarette
and ignited ethylene gas used in
processing bananas at the plant,
or whether friction caused by elec-
trio motors caused flame is not
known, nor will be-" he said.
Cause of the tragedy was attri-
buted to the formation of ethylene
gas in a closed freezer compart-
ment, by c. David Jones, Sheriff
who had advanced a theory on the
case. The coroner's findings cor
roborated Jones theory.
Baldwin and Kelly were be-
lieved to have been operating com.
preston equipment which sup.
piled a special curing gas-ethy-
lene-for bananas when the blast
occurred at $40 p. m.

CASINO BOASTS
TOURIST HOTEL
BY EDGAR CLARK
United Press Staff Correspondent

CASINO, Dec. 10. -U.H- A
tourist hotel. complete with flower
bedecked tables, black market
meals and a sidewalk cafe rises
stark and alone in what once was
no mans land at Casino.
Shacks and temporary structures
have sprung up from the rubble
and dust like mushrooms to snare
curious and sentimental visitors
to the battlefield which exacted
so high a toll of Allied and Ger
man lives.
Easily the most proposes stru-
ture is the new, four-story Albergo
Risorgimento hotel, where meals
and drinks cost twice as much as
at the best Roman clip joint and
the food is half as edible.
Fees and charges for pointing
out sights along highway number
six, where every building was re-
duced to ruin in the bitter dead
lock Of the winter and spring IN
1884, are exorbitant.
Most of Casinos 1000 inhabi-
tants are steadily employed at dig
ging up and neutralizing the stag
gering quantities of mines laid
throughout the Rapido and Liri
valleys both by the Germans and
the Allies. Even now the Daily take
averages 5000.
Less publicized but more danger
Gus than the mines and tourist
traps is the severe malarial con-
dition at Casino. Drainage of the
marshy lowlands was halted by the
all malarial and unanimously re-
war. The local residents are nearly
fuse atabrine-they are convinced
it will turn them yellow and cause
dySentery.
