Earlier, diplomatic experts pre-

American officials privately ex-
pressed surprise at the action which
Russia took last night in a ses-

litical blunder" which would work
strongly to the. advantage of Italy's

Wheat Price Advanced

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2 P.-
Wheat, which topped SO per bushel
on exchanges yesterday, sold at that
figure in the United States as long
ago as 1872 and has touched or
exceeded that mark several times
since, Philip w. Pillsbury, president
of Pillsbury Mills, Inc, said today.
The War of 1872 brought the So
return to growers 1875 years ago dur
ing the conflict with the British,
when farmers were housing their
cattle in cellars to avoid seizure by
the Government, Mr.. Pillsbury said.
After the Civil War, in 1867, Mr..
Pillsbury recalled, wheat once more
hit the SO price. only to be topped
in 1917 during World War I by a
$345 figure. And that was exceeded
by the $3.50 mark which obtained

VA Planning !i!Ig Survey
|0f Rising Cost, Of
Veterans Education
Rates at Some Colleges
Nearly Twice as High
As for Private Students
By George Beveridee

The veterans AdmlnlStratlOn
is planning a survey of schools
and colleges which are receiving
thousands of dollars more from
the Government for training
veterans than they get from nom
veteran students in the same
courses, it was learned today.
The study has been requested by
education and training officials of
the agency to get a clearer picture
of steadily increasing education
costs.
A large number of institutions af-
fected are State universities, which
are allowed to charge all veterans
nonresident tuition and fee rates
sometimes nearly double the resi-
dent rates-even though some OF
the veterans live within the State.
Nonprofit colleges which have only
one rate can negotiate with the
agency for additional charges to
cover increased instructional costs"
for the veterans. AS an alternative,
they can arbitrarily charge the
Government up to SIS month U
take care of education costs, If Gus
tomary charges are inadequate"
Complete Data Sought.
Under Veterans Administration
regulations, profit schools are eligi-
BILE only for the contract-type pro-
vision, which is negotiated by re-
gional Offices of the agency.
The investigation, which has not
yet been ordered, would instruct all
regional offices to furnish complete
information about training costs in
all schools located in their areas.
Officials said they did. not know
how many schools are affected or
how much money the increased
Institutional cost" provisions cost
the Government. Regional offices,
however, have signed contracts to
give additional money to more than
4 900 schools enrolling disabled vet
Grams and more than 4,l00 enrolling
nondisabled students, 1t was learned.
The survey also would ask for
numbers of veterans whose school,

Is costing more than $500-the maxi
mum amount that normally can be
charged against the Government
under the GI Bill.
Choice for Student Veteran.
If costs exceed $500, however, the
student-yeteran has a choice of pay
ing the excess amount himself or
requesting that the Government pay
1T. But If he chooses the latter
course, he gives up one day of the
time he is eligible to go to school
under the CT Bill for every $2.10
over the $500 the Government
spends.
The Washington regional Office Of
the agency said increasing numbers
of veterans IN this area are being
affected by the $500 ruling because
of the spiraling education costs.
While most courses at George
Washington University are under
$500, officials said, costs per credit
hour at the school have increased

Barrett BIames Faulty
System, Negligence in
Not Recording Crimes
Report to D. c. Heads
Says Reorganization Can
Correct All Defects

Conceding room for consider
able improvement" in the Met
ropolitant Police Department,
Supt. Robert j. Barrett declared
in his 1867 fiscal year report
to the Commissioners today that
negligence and a faulty system
were responsible for past failure
to record some cases in the Dis
trict'S crime statistics.
There was no evidence of a de-
liberate plan to suppress crime re-
ports" he said. Nor was there evi-
dence that the crimes not reported
received less attention than those
reported"
He again defended the practice of
withholding certain types of cases
from the police .teletype.
A thorough administrative Or
ganization is we'll under way "and
it is expected that, by January /,
changes will have been effected
which will leave no room for fur
ther criticism" Maj Barrett told
the Commissioners. He said the de-
partment has no defect that can
not be corrected by the current re-
organization.
Outstanding Department Promised.
f. The Reorganization will be COM
pleted during the first six months of
1948, he announced. He promised
that. before July /, "this depart
ment will be in a position to hold
itself out as one of the most out
standing in the United States"
The superintendent cited a "far
from encouraging crime picture" in
Washington, and definite upward
trend" here as we'll as in other parts
Of the country. The department S
repeated requests for additional men
have been to some extent needed"
but it needs its full goal of $500
policemen within the next few years,
he said.
Maj Barrett's reference to- the
crime reporting situation was far
briefer than the 33-page report he
made to Commissioner John Rus
sell Young last September IL on
that subject. At that time, he
called for a complete overhaul of
the crime reporting and communi-
cations system.
Said No Regulations Violated.
He declared then that the depart
ment had violated no police regula-
tions in withholding cases from the
police teletype. He said also police
had ample authority for withhold
ing crime reports in certain in
stances. Since then, Maj. Barrett
has made several moves to central
ize records, establish master index,
and channel all complaints through
consolidated records and COM
munications division.
In his report today, Maj. Barrett
recalled that last June there were
complaints that reports of certain
types of crime were not being for
warded to the departments statis-
tical bureau for recording in the
District crime statistics.
"An immediate investigation was
ordered" he said, "and it was found
that the charges were substantially

This was the same view pre-
sented to President Truman earlier
