 Under the new program, when a disabled veterans guidance is completed and he returns home, the regional office having juris- diction over his place of residence will again take charge of his case.
 While guidance is voluntary on the part of the veterans enrolling under the CT Bill, the new plan is expected to save them time and money, for they must pay their own expenses when they go to a guidance office.
 The VA provides educational and vocational guidance for vet eranS at all regional offices, as well as at 26 guidance centers in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, located chiefly in colleges and uni versailles. The guidance centers are run comparatively by the VA and college specialists.
 During October, seven disabled veterans in Alaska seeking train ing under Public Law 16 received counseling from the VA.

VA TO PROVIDE NEAH-HoME VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

The Veterans Administration has completed arrangements to provide vocational guidance for veterans at places nearest their homes, the VA announced today.
 Regional offices throughout the country are signing joint agree ments with neighboring offices that will enable veterans to get voca- tional guidance in the office near est to their homes, regardless of regional or jurisdictional lines.
 The former policy required a veteran to travel to the regional office having jurisdiction over his home town, even though another regional office was closer.
 The VA said the new plan is expected to be particularly help full to disabled veterans who want to be trained under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act Public Law l6) and who must have advisement from VA personnel before they can be approved for training. The plan also is expected to be a money-saver for the VA, which pays the travel expenses of dis Thursday:

answer to why the race problem
seems so remote in solving.
White parents, despite all they
read and hear, persist in incul-
eating in their young the common
desire on the part of most whites
to despise and to disparage all
unlike them in color. They grow
up with these notions in their
heads and then after they are
married and have children, it
goes on down the line.
The Negro child probably was
told by his mother that white
children are mean, evil and hate
full and that they are his mortal
enemies. He grows up with this
idea. There's your problem. Find
the common denomination and
you'll have a solution the world
has sought since it was created.

THE ROOTS ARE DEEP IN
OUR PROBLEM

No story is better known to
the Negro than that of the OPP
preston, exploitation, segrega-
ton and discrimination shown
him, over the centuries, by the
white man. AS the white man
bequeaths to his following gen.
erations, ideas of white suprem-
acy and the permanent state of
servitude, he thinks all colored
peoples should be kept in, so
does the Negro bequeath to his
young and they to theirs, what
the white man represents in in
terracial relationships. Thus is
brought about an impasse be-
tween the races created by false
notions of racial supremacy on
the one hand and by hate and dis
trust on the other.
In this situation then can be
found the root of all racial evils
and an indication of the magni-
tude of the task faced by those
who would bring about an up
heaval traditional bias and
bitterness by new approach
based on the democratic ideal of
liberalism, and the fundamental
rights to all humanity.
Not far out OF New York City,
there is small colony of Neg
roes living in a rich Westchester
county community peopled large
ly by wealthy whites of aristo-
cratic leanings in some instances
and in the we-just-got rich class
in most.
The Negroes, that is a sprink-
ling of them, are of our middle
class, successful in business and
with the desire to establish COM
Portable homes in safe, respect
able communities where they can
live in peace and contentment
according to their financial
status and their cultural back
ground
A story was related to me the
other day of a case where one
Negro family is made UP of a
very dark skinned mother and a
father fair enough to pass for
white. The family has wealth
earned legitimately; the two eld-
err boys and the daughter are in
college while the -year-old
child, youngest in the family, is
