Your GI Rights
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON SERvIcEMEN'S PROBLEMS
By ANN STEVICK NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan. 9-This queS. tion concerns tuitino allowances.
 Q. I want to go to a technica school which costs more than $500 for yearly tuition. Does the $500 tuition limit on GI Bill of Rights education for veterans cut this out entirely, or can I get the $500 and make up the rest my self?
 A. You can get the $500 paid by Veterans Administration ano rake up the rest yourself as you suggest This is well-informed and operating opinion around nationaI Veterans Administration head quarters, and Washington district office. although the official state ment on the subject is still wait ing signature. Students are al. ready under way on this basis iE medical. dental, and flying schools which range above $500 tuition.
 You should note that the $50C yearly tuition limitatloe applies to a school year. That's inter. preted as 30 to 38 weeks. If yoL are a rapid calculator you may figure out way to get more than $500 tuition during calendar year without taking on odd jobs yourself to finance it.

VANCOUVER STRIKE
 HURTS WAR WORKERS

Vancouver, Jan. 9-UF)-War workers in Vancouver, New West minister and Victoria were stranded today as street car and bus oper- ators struck for seven cents more an hour.
 Decision to strike was taken last week when the National War Labor Board dismissed the unions appeal to the regional board and nullified the regional boards grant of four and one half cents an hour increase. In last minute effort to forestall the strike the board reversed itself and offered the tramway forvers a five and one half cent hourly in- crease, but the workers held out for their original demand oi l2 and one half cents.

 T keep referring to myself or the telephone as Governor anc 'Mr.,'" he said. And I guess I've got to get over that"
 Saltonstall apologized to reporters for being so newsless" and joshed' T ain't here to make news. I'm down here to learn"
 He said he had only one State- ment to make. which was the same statement he had made during his campaign.
 T believe we should have the will to cooperate with other nations. Saltonstall said. And if we have the will. we should find the way"
 One of the first things he did when he entered his office was to in- vestigate the buzzer system on his desk. AS an aide began to demon- strate the various buttons and rings Saltonstall laughed confidently;
 You know, I never did learn how to work those in the statehouse."
