VETERANS IN COLLEGE

Tn meet the increased demands on higher educa- ton facilities caused by returning veterans the New Work State Legislature has passed two bills giving material assistance colleges One makes available portions of 35-milion dollar emergency housing ap- oratories as well as living quarters for veterans The other empowers the State Department of Education to make up operating deficits incurred by colleges ana universities in the education of veterans This liberal action resulted from conference of educators called by Governor Dewey consider the problem of accom- modating veterans It is constructive local applica- tion of what Reconversion Director Synders Inter agency Committee on Veterans Affairs has been set up to do nationally.
 Estimates place college enrolment next fall at 25 per cent above the prewar high. The los-Jam Of applications has given rise to the complaint that some colleges have adopted questionable policy of making if tough on veterans in order to rid themselves of the excess and make way for high school grad uates This may be true cases; and of course, it is indefensible All students should have an equal chance At the same time, there probably are good many veterans attracted by educational provisions of the GI Bill of Rights who not qualified and do not belong in college And it is true that If colleges gave over all their facilities to veterans there would be none for persons graduating from high school or even for serviceen discharged late The essential problem for educational institutions been to strike balance so that the interests of all their clientele may be served with the limited expansion facilities at hand
 The failure of Congress to supplement the GI bill with provisions to accommodate veterans has placed the burden on individual schools. Hampered by personnel shortages well inadequate facilities,

 Some U. IN. ulIiclalS, especially the British and Russians, are now boiling mad, and sorry they ever agreed to New York as the tenn porary world capital.
 The man most responsible for the mess is ex-Secretary of State, plat inum-haired, grand standing Ed Stettinius, who for some strange reason refrained from advising the budding peace organization what to do in a strange land. As re- suit, the United Nations Site Com mittee made it's choice without ad- vice from the host nation.
 Now the move to get the United Nations out of the United States is becoming stronger But the State Department is dead opposed. So are most diplomats. They feel a transfer would be slap at the U.S.A. However, the State Depart ment has now decided to take di- rect action and help find con-

but Reece is the Republican wilo helped FD.R. pass the important law giving the Security and Ex- change Commission power to regu- late ver-the-counter stock traders.
 He also served on the Monopoly Investigating Committee along with various New Dealers when it probed the insurance industry and various big business combines. There were 13 members of the Committee, and on a tight vote, Reece was always to be found casting the deciding digit-7 to 6 for the New Deal
 Reece has been through many battles, both legislative and other- wise. He was one of the most de- corated heroes of the last war. But his most difficult battle was an or der he received at 9:15 am, Nov. II, 1918, to take his men over the top. Reece carried out the order, but told his men after they left their trenches to wait in she'll holes until 100 am. and the arm- istice.

HEART AND HOME
 Lovers are under friendly in- fluences and the time is ideal fol proposals, engagements and wedding announcements and marriages
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Self-interest and greed will oppose every effort to guide the nation through the morass ahead. Infla- tion holds no terrors for the money mad. Their one and only ambition is to increase their own gains as much and as quickly as possible. NATIONAL ISSUES
 A review of educational standards is foreseen. Many professional edu- cators hold that some colleges have let the bars down in order to &C., commodate war veterans.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Further efforts to broaden the good neighbor policy in the hope of drawing Argentina into the Ameri- can family of nations are foreseen Bluff and intimidation failed = a friendly approach may have better results.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of intellectual and spiritual growth climaxed by a wholly unexpected reward for their good works.
 Children born today will be quick thinkers and able debaters. Those who apply themselves will not lack opportunity to take their places among the worlds great men and women of their time.

many will be unable to meet the demands unless there outside aid and it is obvious that the expansion problem must be tackled immediately to mitigate the disadvantages of education under pressure. New York has pointed the solution for at least part of the difficulty Fortunately, some other States are Tn an advantageous position to help their colleges and uni versailles because of wartime tax surpluses. Only through such help veterans be assured of fair chance to benefit from the education Congress has provided them.

NEW COP CHAIRMAN

A lot of brickbats were hurled in the direction of Congressman Car roll Reece of Tennessee when he was first elected chairman of tn Republican National Committee. He was called a reactionary and a stooge for Senator Taft.
 People who have worked with Reece, however, don't find him that way. Quiet spoken and a compe- tent backstage worker, Reece has a record of helping liberal causes which only few people know about. It is now forgotten history

HEAhI AND HUM E
 The stars are friendly to the be- revead and lonely. Under this con- figuration, family irritations will diminish and should soon be for gotten.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Theatres and all places of amuse- ment are entering the most pros porous period in their history which is likely to continue for two years more, but probably will pass it's peak before 1949. Reduced saw ings and uneasiness concerning the future will ultimately turn peoples minds from fun to more substantial matters.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A whispering campaign against the U. N is indicated. Charges that the United States is needlessly be- coming entangled in foreign affairs in which it has not legitimate con- cern will te heard. There are still men and women so blind to facts that they cling to the illusions of the prewar isolationists.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Albania promises to become the scene of political developments of global interest.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of fascinating and beneficial ad- ventures in friendships.
 Children born today will require direction in their early years, but once they have found the best field for their talents, they will go far.

Inside fact is that the leaders of the railway trainmen and engin- eers, Brother Alexander F. Whit ney and, Brother Alvanley John ston, came back to Washington to resume negotiations with no as- surances from carrier spokesman of concessions.
 Furthermore, Harry, once t.e great friend of rail men, is now in no mood to pamper either Bro thtr Whitney or Brother John- stCn. He Was peevld about the short ii9e-day t uee period they set, felt it would be almost impos- sihle to iron out an agreement in so Ii u time and minced no words in ccnyeyin his feelings to aids.

and Richard M. Keith presided at
the organ.
The folk song group offered inter-
esting contrasts between the Negro
idiom of North America and that of
Latin America. The two Brazilian
composers, Villa-Lobos and Luciano
Gallet, both of whom made a pro-
found study of native folk lore, were
represented, the former by "Jaqui-
bau" and the latter by his rhythmic
ally intricate "Toca Zumba" Robert
Lawes and Natalie Hawkins were So
loists in the Villa-Lobos work and
Geneva Brown in that of Gallet.
Gloria Taylor's playing from memory
of the difficult piano part in the lat
ter work was a feat in itself. Ger
trude Wilson sang the solo part in
Dett's Listen to the Lambs" and
Lucimarion Tolliver in Works
"Rockin' Jerusalem" The singers,
with voices different in color, were
excellently chosen to give point in
the solo passages to the vivid presen-
tation of these striking numbers by
the chorus.
Mr. Downes gave an inspirational
talk on folk music. stressing its in
fuence on the art form. He was in
sistent in urging that composers of
both the Negro and white races seek
a true expression of themselves
through the genuine feeling that has
brought forth the spirituals. Only
in this manner can a true American
music be arrived at, was his theory
The noted critic was warmly well
coined and applauded at the con-
cluSion of his speech.

Mr.. Truman barked mo comment
