The War Shipping Administration is still in charge of these ships but apparent ly has been unable to resolve this dispute in which Alaska is being used as a hostage Within few days our dairies, deprived of hay and feed, will have to slaughter their cattle.

Among the proposals being stud
led by congress as amendments to
the Veterans Insurance act is one
to establish modern mortality

ent table of experience" used on

the change will cut premium costs
of NSLI by about 40 per cent.
These proposals are calculated to
appreciably increase the dividends
of NSLI, which will further reduce
the cost of the insurance. Hang on
to that policy.
The liberalization of CT insurance

BY Joseph Francis Albrigbt

National Commander Steele of
the American Legion proposes to
stump the country to arouse sup
port for the housing program of
Wilson Wyatt, FILA chief. This
means that the Legion is going all
out for the housing proposals as
made by Wyatt, which will be good
news for veterans everywhere.
Gen. Bradley of Veterans ad-
ministration, speaking at session
of the B'nai Birth National vet
erans' advisory committee, called
for less "double-talk" and the en-
ployment of more daring imagin-
alton" in the production of homes
and jobs for veterans.
julius A. Thomas, industrial re-
lations secretary of the National
Urban league, released his report
on the status of Negro vets last
wek. The outspoken league official
clearly pointed out the major prob
lens employment, training and
counseling) which are confronting
Negro veterans everywhere. AS
predicted in this column last week,
no punches were pulled in the re-
port.
The department of justice (Tom
Clark has decided to take over the
fight to guarantee vets seniority
on their old jobs. Supreme court
will decide the issue.
Army red tape is being charged
with keeping about one million
textbooks, no longer needed, from
use by colleges with large enroll
ments of returning servicemen.
Warning: Do not give up your
government insurance without a
careful consideration. There is no
hurry about converting. Alarming
reports are coming to the atten-
ton of this column that vets are
b Elm g high-pressured by glib
tongued statesmen into relinquish-
ing NSLI. The advice of this col
umn is to keep the policy under
government supervision until con-
gress passes the pending amend
ments to the insurance act. The
proposals pending in congress will

The sports program in VA hos
pitals is expanding and is winning
praise from all concerned.
25O,OOO World War II veterans
are enrolled in colleges and univer-
sites (full-time), and 10000 more
are taking part-time courses. The
number will continue to increase
rapidly.
The first full step toward total
decentralization of VA has been
taken. Gen. Bradley has turned
over direction of the more than
100 hospitals and regional offices
to his 13 deputy administrators.
Look for a speedup of the entire
procedure of processing in the
agency.
John Snyder, reconversion di-
rector, has launched an all-out as
sault on conditions which are
threatening the e ID u c t i n a
chances of thousands of vets. Sny-
der called the heads of seven fed
eral agencies into a conference
where a plan was formulated to do
something about the grave lack of
teachers, equipment and housing.
(Note to Mr.. Snyder: If the sal
aries of teachers, who are already
overworked, are not increased all
along the line, your search is going
to be in vain.
Members of the house expendi-
itures have agreed upon legislation
to give a boost to the priority
standing of vets in acquiring war
surpluses.
Have you joined that veterans
organization yet?
Increasing demands to correlate
the work of all agencies handling
veterans affairs are being heard.
Reason: too much time wasted by
the vet in dealing with separate
agencies on divergent matters.
Officials of vocational rehabili-
tation and education of VA will
meet with 200 education leaders in
Chicago on April II, IL and 13. The
Importance of this conference can
not be overestimated.
Organizations: Send 81 to the
superintendent Of documents, U. S.
Government Printing office, Wash
ington, D. c., and get the book en-
titled Laws Relating to Veter-
ans" This extremely valuable book
contains all the laws relating to all
the veterans of both world wars.
Send for it now, so that you will
have competent advice at hand for
the veterans of your own particu-
lar group. (Attention churches,
