CoIIegeVets Have to Work To Boost Aid
 University Center
 Director Says Wives
 Helping Students

Many veterans cannot live on the $65 or 80 a month subsistence granted under the CT educational program and have to work part time while studying at the Water bury Center of the University of Connecticut, Gilbert B. Pearson, director of the Center, told the Y's Mems Club at the Y. M. c. A. last night.
 If any of these men apply to you for jobs, you can be sure they will make good workers, because they have proved themselves to be good students MT. Pearson de- clared.
 One student reported that he gets $65 a month under the CT Bill of Rights but that it cost him $105 for living expenses last month. For married students who have wives and families, the problem is even harder. They receive only 80 month.
 Take Care of Baby
 we have had to rearrange schedules for many of these men, who come to us and say they have to stay home at certain hours of the day and take care of the chil- dren because their wives are work ing to help keep the family while the husband finishes his college course"
 Waterbury Center now has an enrolment of about 800, MT. Pear son reported. Of this number, 260 are veterans. There are 334 men enrolled, 58 women, 25 graduate students and 75 taking special courses.
 The University of Connecticut has some 5000 students on its cam- pus at Storrs, which is equipped to take care of about 1,75O normally the director said. The university now has a statewide enrolment of 5000 including 1,70O at Fort Trum- bull, New London, and more than 300 in the Hartford center. There are IA extension centers operating in various sections of the State.
 The Waterbury Center. now oper- ating in the former Begnal School, on Charles Street, holds classes from 9 A. M. to P. M. in order to accommodate all it's students in the limited quarters, and all class rooms and laboratories are busy every hour of that period, MT. Pear son said. Shortage of textbooks, laboratory equipment and even such things as basketballs have hindered the Center in getting its program under way.
 State Rates 47th
 Extra -curricular activities are be- ing organized in an effort to give students at the Waterbury Center the same campus services given at StorrS, MT. Pearson explained. A student newspaper, band, chorus, and athletic teams are to be or ganized as quickly as possible.
 The University of Connecticut has the highest rating among United States educational institu- tlons, the director said, having been listed as an AAA college because of improvements made in recent years.
 Only one state in the 48 has a lower percentage of high school students going on to college, than has Connecticut, MT. Pearson said, but this rating is expected to im- prove because of the current in- crease in college enrolment.
 Whether the Waterbury Center and other extension facilities will return to their previous function of offering part-time courses only, cannot be told at present, the di- rector said. That will depend up- on the future demand on these agencies.

Although war contracts benefited

Speedy Confirmation
I0f Baruch in Atom Posi-
Forecast by Senator's
BY the AssoeIoied Press

Pleased Senators today forecast
speedy approval of President Tru.
mans appointment of Bernard M
Baruch-an old friend who has theil
|confldence-as American represent.
ative on the United Nations Atomic
Energy Commission.
At the same time, the President
was reported to have sent word thai
interested legislators are going to bt
kept fully informed of progress ir
the attempt to set up internationa
atomic controls.
This question has been worrying
some Senators who have insisted
that the United States must not
share the atomic bomb secret unit
alright methods are found to pre-
vent its secret manufacture by q
potential aggressor.
Chairman Connally said the For
eign Relations Committee will ACT
tomorrow on the nomination of Mr.
Baruch, who he said will take nc
predisposed views" into his new job
Choice of Baruch Praised.
Mr.. Baruch, 75-year -old states
man, announced in New York yes
terday, Il will accept" The new
assignment added another to the
long list which the financier and
presidential adviser has undertaken
for the Government. Having helped
marshal the Nations might for two
world wars, he now is being given a
role wherein he can help frame the
controls to govern the postwar
course of atomic energy develop
mentS.
The Presidents choice of Mr.
Baruch, an adviser to the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt and long time per-
sonal friend of Secretary of State
Byrnes and many Senators, gen.
orally was greeted with applause.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia called it IAN excellent appoint
ment," as did Senator Millikin, Re-
publican, of Colorado. But Senator
Millikin added: He'll have plenty
of advice"
Senators Want Reports.
Senator Connally confirmed this
by observing that Mr.. Baruch would
be asked to keep the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee currently informed
of the commissions deliberations
Similarly, the Special Atomic Com
mittee, headed by Senator McMa-
hon, Democrat, of Connecticut, ex-
poets to have an advance look at
any American proposals.
The latter committee, nearing COM
pletion of a draft of domestic control
legislation, gave attention today to a
report from legislative experts rec
ommending drastic revisions of the
Espionage Act to protect atomic
bomb secrets.
Senator Mcmahon said the group
has yet to determine what bars to
put up against publication and
of atomic data.
The chairman criticized his own
pending measure as Jerry built" be-
cause it has been amended over his
to carry provision for a
liaison board to advise the
proposed civilian control commits
sion.
Senator Mcmahon contended in a
radio speech last night that the

amendment would place militar,
men instead of scientists in a posi-.
ton to control the development Of
atomic energy.
Military men are supposed to bs
expert in the use of weapons but
they are not expert in the invention
of them," he said. The atomic
bomb was invented by scientists ano
produced by civilian engineers ano
industrialists."
Speaking of the proposed changes
in his bill, Senator Mcmahon assert
ed: Enact such an administrative
setup and there will be little prog
ress in the science of atomic energy
There will be slowing down in the
dividends to the American people
on their $4,000, 100000 investment
Other countries may we'll be en-
couraged to believe that with a
singleness of purpose and effort they
will advance at a faster rate than
we will. We must stay ahead in
this field whether it is to be inter-
nationally controlled or whether il
isn't and the way to do it is to put
1t IN the hands of civilians"

House Veterans Uni1
Accepts New Report,
Ends Hospital Probe

The House World War Veterans
Committee ended its long investi-
CATION of veterans hospitals today
by deciding in effect to let bygones
be bygones.
After rejecting subcommittee
report with a score of recommended
tions in it. the full committee ap-
pointed another subcommittee and
today approved its report.
In view of the assurances of Vet
Grams Administrator Bradley that
he could remedy ABUSES" which
the committee found, the report
stated, 1.-The committee feels that
no useful purpose is to be served
by now commenting further on any
conditions, which have heretofore
existed"
Several members of the commit
tee, however, indicated they would
file minority report later, presum-
ably because the committee action
was not detailed enough to suit
them
The approved report said mis-
treatment of patients was found at
Northport, Long Island; Lyons, N.
j., and Chillicothe, Ohio. Military
and civilian personnel responsible
for the mistreatment have been
court or indicted, the
committee reported
The committee blamed wartime
eXigencies for the use of inexperi-
enced personnel and added that Sc
lection of doctors, dentists and
nurses from civil service rolls lin
many instances did not make avail
able appointees.
This condition became increas-
ingly worse with the war" the re-
port said. Once on the employ
ment rolls, the removal of undesir-
able employees was almost, if not
completely, impossible"
Establishment of a separate VA
department of medicine and sur
gerry, however, was expected by the
committee to remedy most of the
defects it had noted.
The committees only recommen-
dation was that military personnel
should not be assigned to veterans
hospitals, and attendants should be
carefully trained in their duties
before assignment

Opening lead, queen of hearts.
1t is fundamental in the principals
Of declarer's play that the defend
ers should be placed in such a posi-
ton that the one with the key cards
must make his play before declarer
has to decide which one of his own
cards to use. The simplest case is
the one which dummy holds king,
queen, ten of suit and the player
on declarer's left holds the ace. To
win two tricks declarer must lead
low toward dummy. This places de-
fender in a position where he must
play before declarer has to make a
decision. If defender ducks the
queen wins and the process is re-
peated. There are more complicated
variations Of the theme. Where you
suspect that one of your high cards
may be ruffed, it is a good idea to
make the opponent who Is short OF
the suit play before you, so that il
he ruffs you need not play the i'm
portant card but follow suit with a
little one which would probably have
been a loser anyway.
In today's hand South was de-
clarer at a contract of four spades
and West led the queen of hearts.
This was won with the ace and the
suit returned, declarer winning with
the king. The king of spades was
then played and when East followed
with the jack 1t began to look as
though trumpS might not break. De-
clarer, therefore, planned to make
the enemy spend trump on loser
instead OF on winner. He played
the ace and king of clubs and then
ruffed third round in his own
hand. In caShing the diamonds he
played first the king and then fol-
lowed with low one through West.
If West ruffed dummy would follow
with the losing diamond. Trumps
rcould then be drawn and declarer
would score five spade tricks. two
A4Ach4SilNAo, lho N1uDS dllu d I1EdIJ
for total of 10. If West discarded
(Which he actually did the ace of
diamonds could be cashed and low
heart ruffed in the closed hand. The
three high trumps then bring the
total of winners up to the re-
Quired 10.
Note how different is the result if
the ace of diamonds is first played
and then the king. West will then
ruff winning diamond and declarer
will find himself one short. Since
West is known to be long in trumps
he is apt to be short in diamonds
and that is the reason for playing
the king first and compelling him
to play to the next trick before YOU
make your selection from the
| dummy.

OYSTER CRAB.
(PiuunthereS ostrey,,
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


Tiny female oyster crabs are Sc.
invited guests of oyster neighbol :
Science has found no explanatiC
for the small crabs strange desir

any way. Occasionally two female
Will occupy the space, but usually
only one is in full possession of the
limited quarters.
Sometime after the oyster crab
has reached maturity she seeks this
strange domicile. Her thin grayish
transparent carapace. slightly tinged
with pink never hardens. She be-
gins to take on size reaching an inch
or slightly more in diameter. Her
eyes become smaller, mere pin points.
Her limbs become weak and feeble,
She loses all her spunk. She has
gained lifetime protection. There
is no need for alertness and aggres-
SiveneSS.
Like all crabs she carries her eggs
in the posterior feet until they are
ready to hatch. Then her husky
brood known as larvae. swarm out
Iof the oyster portals to go through
many fantastic changes until reach
ing adult age.
Oyster crabs are especially abun-
dant in the Chesapeake. They are
always considered a delicacy and
served with the oysters. When raw.
they resemble large spider, when
cooked a miniature pink lobster.
There is a cousin who prefers the
space afforded in the shell of the
smooth scallop and another one who
lives in tubes of large annelid worms
