Dulles Labels Germans as Wor PotentioIity

Cambridge, Eng, Aug. 8-UP)- John Foster Dulles American dele gate to the United Nations. told the World Council of Churches to- day that next to the atom bomb the Germans appear to be the most valuable war potentiality that any great power can lay its hand on"
 Dulles said that Christianity should struggle against revenge but should have no illusion that war could be cut off suddenly and re- placed immediately by justice. He said that he was humiliated by many aspects of American occupa- tion policy in Germany.
 He said he had the distinct inn pression that the great powers still regarded the German people as a great war asset.
 The process of getting the Ger man people in the next war is al- ready under way" he said.

opinion that this training could be completed in few days and the Administration refused to pay the subsistence to the two brothers.
 On the other side of the ledger IS the case of the veteran who re- turned to his old job with a Mid west firm where he received 90 cents an hour. He was advised to take on-the-job training to become a service manager in the establish ment
 Forced to Sign Contract
 The veteran hastily accepted this proposition and was at once forced to sign contract to continue on his old job at 40 cents an hour. He was told that he could look some place else for work if he didn't care to sign the contract and that the difference in pay would be made up by his subsistence checks from the government.
 Two Southern firms noted in the files of the Veterans Administration signed up eX-GIs for on-the-job training. After the men had been enrolled in the course they dis covered that they were to receive no pay outside of their government checks for 45 days.
 A more highly publicized case was the unsuccessful attempt of Jack son, Miss, baseball team to certify l2 of it's players for 'on-the-job training to become big league play CTS. Since the baseball season lasts only a few months each year and a veteran may receive 49 months of training, they could have been paid by the government during each playing season for 10 years.

Delinquent Tox Returns Hiqher

Washington, Aug 8-CUP)-Sec- retary John w. Snyder said today that more than Ill, ,00O delinquent tax returns totalling $l70,000,000 were filed voluntarily in the fiscal year ended last June 30.
 One of the voluntary delinquent payments was for S2,0O0,O00, Snyder said. He said this payment was ac- companied by an admission of ex- tensive tax juggling over a period of several years.
 Snyder said that the intensified drive against tax evaders had been very successful.
 He said voluntary filing of de- linquent returns or disclosures of additional tax information by indi- viduals and firms subject them only to civil penalties. Criminal charges are brought against only those who fail to make admission before in- vestigation has started, he added.

Distemper Kills Cots

The city's cat population is dying of fast from distemper, declared Dr. Richard Gilyard of the City Health Department. Owners of pets are re- quested to keep them indoors to slave off possible infection
 Dr. Gilyard declared the epidemic will last until there are too few cats left to keep it going. The disease, known as feline distemper, or infec- tious enteritis or panluocopenia, is not related to distemper in dogs and can not be contracted by them. Nor can the disease, said Dr. Gilyard, be contracted by humans.
 The disease attacks cats one year old or younger, declared officials, and is rare in adult animals. Police and Health Department officials as well as the Connecticut Humane So- ciety said they are kept busy by calls to pick up dead bodies of victims.

BY GEORGE E. REEDY, JR.

Washington, Aug 7-CUP)-The Veterans Administration opened its files today to back with dramatic case records Gen. Omar N. Brad ley's charges Of petty graft anc ehiseling in the Governments S27,- eco 000-a month on-the-job training program for ex GIs.
 The cords. which filtered through to the Administration from its 62 regional offices, were made available to the United Press. as two Federal agencies moved to in- yestigate Bradley's charges. The inquiries were being made by the Justice Department and the Wage Stabilization Board.
 Bradleys complaints, made before a conoVention of Spanish War Vet erans in Milwaukee on Monday were considered so sweeping that Chairman John E. Rankin. CD.- MissD, of the House Veterans Com mittee, said it might be necessary to revamp the GI Bill of Rights at the next Congress.
 Extent Unknown
 T agree with General Bradley thoroughly that the on-the- job training program should be rear ranged, Rankin said.
 Officials of the Veterans Admin 1Stration confessed frankly that they did not know the extent of the chiseling But they claimed that it existed on wide scale and that un- less action were taken immediately it would develop into nationwide scandal
 From practically every regional office, they said, reports were streaming in about connivance be- tween veterans and employers to clrcumvent the clear intent of the on-the-job training provisions of the GI Bill of Rights. It grants of S65 month for single nAAen and S90 month for married men while they take apprenticeship training in an approved" establish ment.
 A majority of the cases centered around veterans who accepted or were forced to accept b-standard wages while their regular jobs sud- denly were classed as On -the-job" training. But there were other in- stances in which eX-GIs, already well established in a trade or pro- fession, managed to certify them selves as taking apprenticeship training to pick up the subsistence.
 NeopOtism Rampant
 In the latter class was the case of a Midwest employer who asked that 30-year-old veteran be certi- fled for on-the-job training as Included in his re- quest was proposal that the Vet erans Administration buy $500 worth 0f tools for the apprentice.
 Unfortunately for the employer, a request for that amount of tools could be approved only by Wash ngton. When the Veterans Admin stration discovered that both the and the prospective ap- prentice had the same last name and the same address the request vas disapproved.
 In another instance, the proprie- or of a hamburger stand received state approval for four-year train- ng program to teach his two sons both veterans-hoW to manage his establishment. A check of the hamburger industry brought the
