Dear Joe
WHAT CHA WAITING
EODO
By JAMES L. HICKS

You thought the Whirl was kid
ding a few columns ago when it
said here that you could go to just
about any school in the world eX-
cept in Mississippi, under the CT
Bill, didn't you, Joe?
Well, last week the State Depart
ment and the Veterans Admins
tratiOn not only confirmed what was
said here but announced that more
than $50 CTS have already en-
rolled in one of the SOB institutions
in sixty-eight foreign countries
where the VA will pay for your
education
An official list showing how
many of that $50 CTS studying
abroad are colOred was not avail
able, but the Whirl has it from a
good unofficial source that less than
five are tan yanks.
All of which tempts this column
to give you hell, Joe Here you
are crying bloody murder because
they won't let you into podunk col
lege to get two bit Jim Crow
education while schools like the
University Of Paris, in France, the
University of Oxford in London
the University of Milan in Italy
and the Leningrad State Univer-
sity of Russia are all begging you
to come on over and get sTart. and
the VA is willing to pay the bill
Where do you want to study

Mexico, England, Ireland. Rus
STA. France. Italy, Australia,
Africa, India; Any part of the
world you name, this column
can name you a school there
which has been approved BY the
Veterans Administration SO that
you can go there and study four
years and get paid S65 TO $50 a
month while doing so. plus hav-
ing all your tuition expenses paid
by the VA.
Look, Joe. this is an opportunity
that few members Of our GROUP
have ever had before. Prior T.
World War II you could count then
all on your fingers and toes whC
really could afford to take triI
abroad for two weeks. but here i
an opportunity for you not only t,
go abroad for four years but t.
come back with a degree from {

sure to gain from four years in

ing enough to conceive and plan
great operation, and carry that
plan to success. i
Recently, | attended the Board OF
Directors meeting of the Girls Ser.
vice League, which sponsors one OF
the finest fresh air camps for under
privileged children. As | looked at
that very fine group, headed by a

and also a diligent church worker
and led by the camp dlrector-a
woman who has given twenty years
to the development of the project
and as | meditated on our neglect
to develop capable, adaptable, and
conseCrated leaders out of our
youth, | suggested that they create
an auxiliary board of directors COM
posed of young men and women in
our schools, allow these youngsters
to attend their meetings, and
gradually shift more and more OF
the responsibilities of furtherlng
the growth and broadening the
services of the camp to this pro
posed auxiliary board as they de
velop to the end that as the old
sters drop out over the years. new
blood with a clear understanding
of and appreciation for the services
of the agency might be available
to carry forward the work to un-
dreamed of levels. am pretty sure
this will be done.
What | suggested to the Board
of Directors of the Girls Service
League is, to my way of thinking,
what ought be done by all agencies
dedicated to the task Of serving
humanity. Learning by doing cen
not be beat. That is exactly what
think all executives and the heads
of all worthwhile institutions
should do believe in training
younger people today to do what
needs to be done tomorrow. To fail
in this we fail in everything in the
larger sense Of the word.

Suggests Truman Resign,

Editor: Inasmuch as Harold
Stassen probably never will get
anywhere towards becoming Presi-
dent in the Republican Party, and
inasmuch as it is questionable as to
whether he is a Republican any
how, | suggest that President Tru-
man resign and the DEMOCRATIC
Party appoint Harold Stassen to fill
out Humans unexpired term. This
would be a reward Of merit for the
yeoman service his stOOge, Senator
Ball, did in guaranteeing the cleo
ton of a Democratic President in
1914. This would probably satisfy
Stassen's ego and the Republicans
would be rid of him.
