"' The century -old Naval
Academy at Annapolis is too far
removed from California and Utah
for western youth :.
IF journey from West to East
is too much for future admirals

that the Nation is asking too much
Of its Western legislators to re-
quire them to journey all the way

that State Department of Correc-
ton guard who was on special duty
at an increased salary when he was
inducted into the armed forces must
be returned to the same position
at the same rate of pay.
1t was the first official opinion to
come from the Attorney Generals
Office on the status of veterans re-
turning to State employment.
The special-duty assignment Of
the guard prior TO his induction paid
him 5000 more year than is paid
to ordinary guards and required him
to work longer hours. On his re-
turn to civilian life he was reas-
signed as guard but was not given

Maryland u. Offers
Veterans Training al
| Resident Rate Costs

The University of Maryland will
collect only resident tuition fees
from Maryland war veterans at
tending next year at Government
expense instead of levying both resi-
dent and nonresident fees, Presi-
dent H. C. Byrd announced yester-
day.
The university charges a SIPS resi-
dent fee and S145 nonresident assess
ment.
While the Government pays the
fees under the GI Bill of Rights. DR.
Byrd said the Board of Regents had
learned that money veterans re-
ceived for tuition would be deducted
from any subsequent bonus
This meant that if the veterans
ever received a bonus-and un-
doubtedly they will - they'd be
charged for their education" DR.
Byrd explained.
He said the practice of charging
both fees was general at all State
unsupported colleges and univer.
stiles last year. The policy was ap.
proved by the Veterans Administra.
ton. He declared, because land
grant colleges and State universi.
ties, whose tuition fees generally
were much lower than the actual
cost of education, wanted some
financial adjustment to put them
on an equitable basis with privately
endowed institutions.
DR.. Byrds announcement fol-
lowed complaint by Arch Stafford
national secretary of the American
War Dads, that unsupported
schools we're "profiteering on war
veterans" by charging them double
tuition fees.
Hes absolutely right, and the
Board of Regents of the University
of Maryland has gone on record
as opposing the practice" DR.. Byrd
said adding:
"At least one other American
university, Purdue, also has gone
on record as being opposed to it.
In the case of Maryland there prob
ably will be a refund of nonresident
fees paid by veterans last year"

Postwar Employment
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 4.-Gov.
OConor said today he would es-
tablish committee on reconver-
sion problems to insure the greatest
possible employment in the postwar
era.
The Governor said the committee,
which would function under the
Maryland Commission on Postwar
Reconstruction and Development,
was suggested by the Maryland and
District of Columbia Industrial
Union Council.
The States postwar program of
public construction will provide a
stop-gap in any employment crisis,
Gov. O'Conor explained, but under
the American system, private in
dustry should shoulder the bulk of
the employment responsibility.
The proposed construction pro-
gram calls for nearly $4,000, ,00C
worth of new hospitals and other
capital Improvements, a state high
way and bridge construction and
improvement schedule that may ex-
ceed S60,000,000 and the predicted
city and county programs that will
swell the grand total of planned con-
struction to the s200,OOo,00 mark,
he predicted.
Men and women returning from
the armed forces must be guaran-
teed employment that will assure
maintenance of American standards
of living, Gov O'Connor declared.
He said, 1T is with the expecta-
ton and confidence that sound
plans, thoughtfully conceived and
developed through the 100 per cent
cooperation of capital and labor,
can bring about an establishment Of
this reconyersion committee.
The personnel of the group is
not ready for announcement at this
time, because several who have been
asked to serve have not yet signi-
fed their willingness. However, I
expect to have the list complete
within the next few days, so that
the committee may have time to
organize and get down to work
within the next several weeks"
