mental to their welfare.
Stationed as a member of the
armed forces in wartime at the
national capitol. DeMiers sought
to keep abreast of what leeisls-
tors we're thinking-and doing
about Indian welfare. To bis
amszement he discovered that
not all was we'll for the First
Great American.
On a subsequent visit to Wash

American Indians of Montana.

Joseph W. Brown. former
chairman of the Blackfeet Tribal

Brown said that when a house

On the basis of DeMiers' OBJ
servations, Brown said. Indians
should keep alert and not sleep
through the per Torrance.
The Blackfeet tribe. along with
others of the state, act n g
through the American Indians
of Montana, are expected to ef-
fectively react 10 DeMiers' alarm
and thus have some representa-

ARMY'S PROGRAM
TO HELP RECRUITS
American Council OF Edu-
cation Joining Forces
With U. S.

The importance of the Army'S
general educational development
test, as it applies to enlistees who
feel they probably cannot make
the grade" is being stressed by
the Army and encouraged by the
American Council of Education.
'GED' Tests
The tests, commonly known as
'.GED" tests are written exanl-
nations, offered enlistees by the
Armed Forces Institute. Thel1
purpose is to evaluate the indlv'd'
uaTs educational attainment on a
basis which permits the granting
of high school or college diplomas.
This test, as it is worked in the
Army is especially valuable to
the men who have undergone a
break in their academic education,
according to Capt. N. G. Cottle,
officer in charge of the local re
cruiting station.
Get Diplomas
Administered by the Information
and Educational branch of the
Army, thousands of men who have
passed their tests and sent re-
ports of their scores to their home
schools or colleges have received
high school diplomas, and college
credits.
This is strongly recommended
by the American Council, who says
the diplomas should be given, and
that college credit is also due for
college studies covered by the
tests.

, +ica1lv anyone who could breathe

doctors were in the habit of pass
ing many borderline cases, In the
hope that the Army could lind
something for them to do. In
thousands of cases, these men who
were passed but who didn't meet
the physical standards were soon
discovered to be more trouble than
good, and so were discharged.
According to the law, these men
are not eligible for CT rights. But
many of them had their disabili-
ties aggravated by the service.
Long hours of drilling would make
weak legs worse, for instance.
In most cases, the Army tried
to give such men discharges which
would make them eligible for the
benefits of the CT bill, even though
they served less than 80 days. But
the Army made mistakes, and
many men whose disabilities were
aggravated were released with
discharges which didn't make them
eligible.
The thing for these men to do is
to apply to the Veterans admins
tration for a ruling on whether or
not their disabilities are service
connected. If VA rules that they
are, these veterans can apply to
the Army for a change of dis
charge which will make them
eligible for CT benefits.
The Army usually takes the
VAS word for it that a mans dis
ability is service-connected, and
changes his discharge or that
basis.
Time spent as an air cadet or in
school while a member of the
Army or Navy does not count as
active duty towards eligibility for
CT benefits.
