that it should be settled for the

which his fact-finding board recon-
mended, Mr.. Truman was asked
about the steel fabricators.
The President emphasized that
his recent statement did not con-

the union. The statement was that
the steel settlement for an IS 1-2

only to basic steel producers.
Mr.. Truman noted that some fab

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Prob-
lens Of veterans going to school
under the CT Bill of Rights have
raised the following questions:
Q-My son got out of the Coast
Guard and started school in the
state university. His grades are all
right but he doesn't like the school
very much and is unhappy. He
would like to change at the end OF
the semester but am afraid ne
will lose his CT benefits. Can ne
transfer without this happening?
Ale san transfer as long as II
is to state-approved school and
he continues to meet all the other
requirements. He does not lose any
rights by changing schools.
Gin trying to find out what
college could enter next fall when
will have been discharged from
the Army, wrote to Veterans Ad-
ministration. They couldn't tell me
much about it. I have oeen read
ing about how schools won't lei
veterans enter. Where can get de.
tailed information about this?
Ali you have queries about spe-
cific colleges and what they have
to offer write directly to them.
Some time before next fall VA will
have finished its survey of schools
and colleges and will be able to
give you then exactly what infor-
nation you want.
Q-My wife and I are both in col
lege under the CT Bill of Rights.
She was SPAR. While we are in
college will it be possible to also
get a guaranteed loan and buy d
house? We plan to live in this town
permanently. ~s
A-Being in school under the
CT Bill of Rights doesn't disquali-
fly you for guaranteed loan to
buy a house. That is, if you can
find an agency that is satisfied you
and your wife will be able to gay
it back under the normal condi-
tons. Most lending agencies, how
ever, want their clients to be work
ing and in a stable enough finan-
cial situation to make them good
risk.

Dutch Marine Sergeant

Further manifestations of graft
tude for the kindness of the Will

from the Dutch Marines, who has

going to the Dutch East Indies. The
most of them don't like it over
here as well as they did it in the
