Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY DOUGLA LARSEN

WASHING1ON.-Here are some
general questions from veterans
and their relatives:
Q-Are veterans of the Commits
stoned Corps Of the United States
Public Health Service entitled to
the same priority for surplus
goods as are regular World War
II veterans?
Ayes, in the opinion of E. A.
Stanstield, acting general counsel,
War Assets Administration.
Q-Is there much chance that a
man who was listed as missing
in action more than a year ago
still may he found?
Alt is the opinion of all over
seas commanders who are in
charge of trying to locate persons
missing from the services that all
living Army and Navy personnel
have been recovered. Those still
missing are presumed to be dead.
Q-Can a veteran who is dis
satisfied with his job just quit and
get the $40 a week unemployment
allowance?
A-That will have to be decided
by the local office of the United
States Employment Service. 1t de.
bends on the reasons for dissatis.
faction.
Q-When I was indicted into the
Army, 1 told the medical officer
4 had a bad back. But they swore
me in, anyway. I was in the hospi-
tai for a month. with my back in
a cast, and was then discharged.
Am I eligible tor CT rights?
A-Not unless you received q
discharge which says you have a
service-connected disability.
Q-My husband was seriously
injured a month ago. He was just
getting started in his W bust
ness. 1t is likely to collapse I'M
less ne gets someone to take his
place. Will the government pay for
a replacement?
A-The government will pay a
veteran enough to guarantee him
$1O0 a month profit from a bust
ness he is just starting. If the
cost of hiring another man re-
duces the profit below this, the
government viii make up the diff
ference. Or, if he doesn't try to
keep up his business, he is en-
titled to a $50 weekly unemploy-
ment benefit.
Questions will be answered only
in this space-not by mail.)

Cotton Work Shirts
To Jump l9 Cents

WASHINGTON, June II. -(PD
A u per cent increase in retail
prices for cotton flannel work
shirt, was authorized Tuesday by
the OPA, effective June II.
1t is the amount previously
granted for other cotton work
clothing and is the minimum re-
quired, an OPA statement said, to
return the industry's earnings to
the level of 1869, as required
by law.
As a result, OPA estimated,
mems flannel shirts will cost SLIT
in most independent retail stores,
or 10 cents more, and boys shirts
SLAB instead of $1.28.
OPA said the increases are being
passed on to purchasers because
dealers ARE not able to absorb

School Children Help

Once again the school children OF
New Hanover county have proved their
interest in public affairs. This time 1t
is their fine contribution to the cancer
control compaign.
One of the reasons the local drive
went we'll over the top is that they gave
s739.45. The goal had been placed at
s4.75O. The total reached $5,766.29.
Thus it is to be seen the surplus would
have been exceedingly small but for the
dimes and quarters and dollars of the
school children.
There is nothing new in this. When
ever the public has been called upon to
make a contribution to any worthy
cause, the youngsters of the community
have done their share-often better
than the adult population in proportion
to their available funds. To get theil
total in the cancer drive. SO high many
obviously saved a part of their lunch
allowance, did without "cokes" and gum
and candy and movies, and everybody
knows how great a sacrifice it is fol-
youngsters to do without the things
they enjoy so greatly.
They cannot be praised too highly
for their gift to this essential cam
paign.

Army Research

Having learned from the war that
complete Indignation of all national
resources is needed and that the Army
as "one of the main agencies respon-
slble for defense, must take the initia-
tive in promoting closer relations be-
tween civilian and military interests"
General Eisenhower, as Chief of Staff,
has created a Research and Develop
ment Division, with General Staff
status, to explore military-scientific
problems, including atomic and cleo
tronic weapons.
Secretary of War Patterson, an
nouncing the new division, adds that it
will coordinate Army research with
activities of industry and educational
institutions.
This is the step that has been 50
strongly advocated by the nations
scientists, without whose services the
atomic bomb would never have been
perfected. It is needed as a defense
measure. If the United States should
lag in the work to be undertaken il
would be at the mercy of any power
more advanced and belligerently in.
clined toward US.
AS a people, we still have reason tx
be grateful for Eisenhower's continued
service.

Day ByDay
FIGURES.
By L T. ELLIS

FASCINATING FIGURES
Somebody with a flair for figures
has compiled an amazing set of
statistics concerning the cost of
World War II, and how the money
might have been applied to pur-
poses of peace.
Aside from thirty million lives,
the war cost approximately four
hundred billion dollars in cash and
in property.
with that amount we could have
built a 81, 500 house and furnished
it with $1,000 worth of furniture
and placed it on five acres of land
worth 500 an acre and given all
this to each family in the United
States, Canada, Australia. England
Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France.
Belgium, Germany, and Russia.
After doing this there would
have been enough money left to
give each city Of 200, 600 inhabit-
ants and over in all the countries
named a S. million library, a IS
million hospital and a 500 million
university.
"And then out Of the balance we
could still have sufficient money
to set aside for all time to come
a $1,000 yearly salary for each
or an army Of $4,000 teachers,
and in addition to this to pay the
same salary to each of an army
Of 1875, 900 nurses. And after hav-
ing done this, we would still have
enough left out of our $500 billion
to buy up all of France and Bel
GUM and everything Of value that
France and Belgium possess.
Was the waste of war and the
prosperity Of peace ever more
graphically stated?
Lord, increase our conon sense
and our Christian purpose. Amen
