Nv the Associated Press

HONOLULU, June 22. - Con-
struction costs of the Army's new
Tripler General Hospital here have
not been excessive, Col. Bernard l.
Robinson said today.
Col. Robinson, commanding officer
of the Oahu Engineering Service
stressed that cost figures for the
s33 ,O0O, 900 project-assailed by con-
gressional critics as the "Pentagon'
of the Paciflc-Were not out OF line
with territorial or mainland costs.
"The actual cost per hospital
bed is little more than $4,000" he
said. The $4,000 cost cited in Con-
gress is for the entire project, in.
Guiding living quarters, commissary
and all the facilities of small city
THE plans and specifications were
approved by the surgeon general
and the Chief Of Engineers in
Washington, D. c."
Col. Robinson said the costs had
been increased by foundation diff
culties, higher wage rates and cost
of materials, and by lack of ex-
perienced workers.
IF Congress allocates no further
funds the project will be closed
down early in July" he added.

trouble in getting jobs. The en-
ployment service was able to place
IA per cent of the disabled veterans
who applied for jobs in that month
A year later, in April. 1916, place
ments had fallen to Is per cent OF
the number who applied.
"The April figure, however, was
distinct improvement over the
earlier months of the year and
the small ratio reflects, Of course
the great increase in the number
of disabled veterans who have been
seeking jobs since the end of the
war"
Mr.. Banta estimated that between
/ 500 900 and 100000 ex-servicemen
will be listed as disabled when de-
mobilization is completed. Most OF
these, he said, can be just as eff
cient as able-bodied workers when
properly placed.
The estimate of 100000 to A.
100000 veterans who will need jobs
by the end of this year was made
by Mr.. Goodwin. He added that on
the basis of 'the present favorable
trends" in business and industry
they will be able to find jobs. He
predicted that when production is in
full swing the total employment In
the country will far exceed the high
est levels in history.

By the Associo.ed Press

s TORONTO, June 22.-Smoke be-
gan rising from the stacks of
freighters all along the Great Lakes
today as firemen shovelled coal into
the bunkers in preparation for re-
sumption of lake shipping after a

approximately 100 freighters tied
up by the Canadian Seamen's Union
strike, and the seamen celebrated
the decision.
Capt. E. S. Brand, of the Canadian
Navy, a member of the Canadian

supervise government operation of
the ships beginning Monday. Justice

Der of the Manitoba Court of Ap-

ators refused to grant an eight-hour
day instead of the standard IL
hours. The operators said they had
applied to the War Labor Board to
put an eight-hour day into effect.

Erskine Studies Use
Of Ships 10 Provide
Quarters for Students
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Opening his assignment to
Smash the educational bottle
necks," Marine Gen. Graves B. Frs
kline yesterday studied proposals for
turning big Army and Navy install
lations-and even ships-into COL
lege campuses.
'The idea of shipboard colleges
doesn't appeal to some land
lubbers." said the resourceful two
star veteran Of Pacific fighting. But
1t may be one answer to our prob
lem"
He was appointed "bottleneck
smasher" for John r. Steelman,
new director OF the ONCE of War
Mobilization and Reconyersion
His specific assignment is to speed
the transfer of more Government
property, both through donation and
sale, to schools. He is head of the
Retraining and Re-employment Ad-
ministration, Labor Department.
Two Million Students Expected.
Government authorities have es-
timated a record-smashing total OF
2080,000 students will seek admis-
sion to colleges next fall and that
about 100000 may be turned away
including 100000 war veterans.
Gen. Erskine said abandoned
Army and Navy training centers
including some air fields, "are per-
haps our greatest hope for expand
ing college campuses and making
education available to more people
next fall"
He said some States already have
developed plans for establishing COL
leges in large training facilities left
over from the war, and it has been
suggested ships might be used.
For instance, some officials plan
to go in the very near future to the
ship graveyard in Chesapeake Bay
look over the warships anchored
there and choose one with good
possibilities for remodeling into a
dormitory," he said.
This will be towed to an anchor
age near large city and hooked to
city power lines. It will make a
dormitory for up to 500 students
who will live aboard and 60 to
school in the city.
:, Many Ships Available. =
IF it appears this plan is success
full it can be expanded to numbe,
OF coastal cities, to the Great Lakes
and to some river ports. There are
any number of ships that appear
suitable.
DR.. Ralph Mcdonald, executive
secretary of the department oi
higher education of the Nationa,
Education Association, said a recent
survey of $50 of Americas 1,68e
colleges listed the dormitory OF
housing shortage as the No. l bot
tleneck in the educational crisis.
I'm some States there are pro-
posalS for cooperative plans, ir
which several colleges would join
and take over large installations,
Gen. Erskine said. They woulc
make professors available for part
or full time, utilizing their service.
in the most efficient manner pos
sible and eliminating duplicated
work."
DR.. Mcdonald said that In thi:
plan some one college should have
the responsibility, to protect vet.

|GI Bill Anniversary
Brings Appeal for
Disabled Veterans

The second anniversary of the
signing of the CT Bill of Rights
brought encouraging employment
and rehabilitation reports yesterday
by three Government officials deal
ing. with demobilization problems,
but there were reminders that work
will have to be found for more than
100000 veterans during the next
six months.
There was special appeal also for
extra effort and deeper considera-
ton" in the problem of placing dis
abled veterans in jobs.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selec-
tive service director; Robert C.
Goodwin, director of the United
States Employment Service, and K.
Vernon Banta, chief of the disabled
veterans section of the Veterans
Employment Service, joined in a
program broadcast from Station
WMAL on the bill which Mr.. Good
win described as "the most impor-
tant law ever passed in behalf of
any group of war veterans in the
history of our country"
Three Veterans Speak.
Three eX-servicemen took part in
a similar anniversary broadcast from
Station WTOP to tell how provi-
sions of the law had helped them on
their return to civilian life. They
were Fred Brinson, a goth Division
veteran who with his brother estab-
lished a store in Arlington: Frank
Hayden, a naval veteran who saw
action at Okinawa and who is using
CT bill assistance to become an auto
mobile mechanic here, and Dave
Pogiloff, who lost a leg while with
the Army in Italy and obtained
training here to become a national
service officer for the Disabled
American Veterans.
Gen. Hershey declared that enact
ment of the CT bill was a psychology
ical aid in winning the war. 1t will
contribute Importantly to winning
the peace because "self-preservatio
of our civilization requires a rapid
and satisfactory integration of these
veterans into our national life," he
said.
More than 100000 veterans have
found jobs since vi day and an
average of 100000 has been added to
the employment rolls during each
of the last three months, with an
other $4,000 enrolled in schools and
colleges, Mr.. Goodwin reported. The
three officials agreed, however, that
the placement program for disabled
veterans has not come up to expec-
tations.
Improvement Cited.
There has been an improvement
in job placements of disabled vet
erans," Mr.. Banta said, but We
cant honestly say that it has been
completely satisfactory. During the
war and as late as March. 1945, when
there was a great need for workers,
disabled veterans experienced little
