Marine Students Letter.
In recent letter to The Star, a
former Marine student at George

studies and the work of students
taking outside employment were
suffering.
Submitting his own budget" OF
$50 for rent, $50 for food $3.50 for
insurance and S. for transportation
he said that mo allowance is made
for clothing, laundry, haircuts OF
even support of the church. Most
OF us have saved from $500 to $500
during our service, including mus
tering out pay, and those savings
will be eaten up in II to 18 months. ,
Our country needs trained people
as never before" he wrote, and a
large number of these veterans will
not be able to continue their educa-
ton because of their inability to
finance themselves.
THE failure of these veterans to
continue training will be a loss to
the Government both in money and
future services, to the school in
wasted and uncompleted effort, and
to each man concerned"
At the same time, a spokesman for
the Central High School veterans
center declared that, of the 300
students who have dropped from
the high school, "a majority have
given their inability to get along on
the subsistence allowance as the
principal reason.

Its a terribly hard thing for me
to say, but at last I'm sure where my
daughter and her baby are" Mrs.
Landers told the Times.
She explained, my daughter Es-
tella loved to wonder. She divorced
Sherrons father and began moving
about from one place to another
The last we heard of her was when
her cousin was with her in 1912 in
South Bend, Ind. Since her cousin
left, there has been no trace of
Estella nor of Sherron.
1T is entirely possible that she
arrived in Hartford with the circus

have been with a circus employe

Senator Ball 10 Draft
New Labor Policy
To Reduce Tieups
BY ths kssoeiuted Press

Proposals embracing q new, over
all Government labor policy de-
signed to reduce the threat Of ma
tional tieups by industry wide
strikes will be laid before Congress
when it returns, Senator Ball, Re-
publican, Of Minnesota, said yes
terday.
Senator Ball told a reporter that
with the help of colleagues Of like
views he intends to draft during
the legislative vacation a rounded
program he believes a Democratic
Republican coalition will support.
He said this program will be
based on the following major points
l. Strengthening of Federal med
iation machinery.
2 Establishing of equal respon-
sibility under the law for unions
and management
3. Amending OF the Wagner Act to
define unfair practices by unions
to ban coercion of individual work.
ers, to modify the closed shop sec
ton, to require the Labor Board
to act on the weight of evidence in
any case and to provide that unions
as well as employers must bargain
collectively.
4. Substitution of another set of
controls for the Government seizure
now employed to combat break
downs in the National economy
when industry wide strikes go un-
settled.
Senator Ball said he thinks that
after the November elections con-
gressional support for an extensive
revision Of the labor laws will be
strong enough to enact changes in
the law despite any Presidential op-
position.
Senator Ball criticized what he
called President Trumans aincon-
sistent handling" of labor disputes.
He said this was demonstrated by
Mr.. Truman's stern handling of the
railroad strike and the way the
Government ended the coal walkout.
The Railroad Brotherhood which
had gone patiently through all of
the processes required by law In
their effort to get pay increases and
rule changes were handled sum-
marily by the President" he said,
while John L. Lewis-who made
only a pretense Of collective bar
gaining-got everything he wanted
IF we had a fixed policy on labor
procedure, written into law itself,
every man would get the same treat
ment.

A SOS monthly allowance for food
rent, clothing, transportation and
the countless other necessities of
life is far below any estimates set
for minimum standards of living in
Washington. Yet thousands of Dis
trict veterans, attending schools un-
der the GI Bill of Rights. and not
living with their families, are faced
with just such budget.
Results. according to local educa-
tors, are that nearly all veterans
who do not have outside financial
aid are failing to take full-time
courses to which they are entitled
under the CT legislation. Many
began heavy schedules and later
dropped some courses to take out
side employment.
The educational provisions provide

former servicemen, who are married.

G. w. U. Cases Cited.
At George Washington University,
for example, more than half the
$500 student veterans are taking
only part-time courses.
Many of them planned to study
full-time but had to drop out be-
cause they simply couldn't get along
on that modest allowance" accord
ing to Mitchell Dreese, director of
veterans affairs there.
A number of others, more deter
mined to keep their full courses,

He cited the case of one former
servicewoman who recently was
found to be suffering from malnu-
triton. The girl, he said, had been
eating only two meals a day for "a
considerable time" and was living
entirely on the $65 monthly allot-
ment. Her room rent alone, he
said, was $50 a month.
Many veterans would be able tc
get along on the allowances If the
cost OF living had remained the same
as when the benefits were author

Green Doubts Housinq
Can Reach Top Speed
Before Next Year
BY the Assoeioied Press

The American Federation of Labor
said today it is extremely doubtful"
If housing construction can reach
top speed before next year.
William F. Green, federation pres
ident, said at least 443,00O more
workers must be transferred or re-
cruited for the housing program and
a greater volume of material Is
needed to achieve the goal.
Mr.. Green's views, outlined in a
letter, were made public by Joseph
N. Stack, commander in chief of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars. The VFW
had inquired about the steps the
AFL is taking to meet the housing
emergency.
Complaint from VIEW.
The VFW complained that the
Governments housing program has
begged down and failed utterly in
its objective to produce homes for
veterans"
Omar B. Ketchum of the VFW
national legislative service, wrote
Speaker Rayburn of the House, and
asked a congressional investigation
However. the communication reach
ed Mr.. Rayburn only a few hours
before adjournment of the 18th
Congress.
Mr.. Green told the VFW that the
AFL increased building trade ap-
prentices from 30,83O to 1888 in
May and that there now are more
than 10000 at work learning to
build houses.
He said in June more than 100000
housing workers were employed but
estimated $4,000 will be needed
when the work reaches a peak,
which originally was expected to
occur in October.
Discusses Shift of Workers.
If limitations are retained on non
residential construction, Mr.. Green
said, 100000 workers can be shifted
to home building and perhaps an
other 100000 could be transferred
from construction work other than
building.
He expected another lO0,00o work
ers to be recruited from among
discharged servicemen and former
war workers with building expert
ence.
This leaves a worker shortage of
from $4,000 to $1,000. he calculated.
But "in view of the delay in get
ting the program under way and
failure OF Congress to continue the
vital OPA price controls for one
year" 1t Is doubtful the peak of work
will be reached until next year, he
said.
