THE VETERANS
CORNER
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

A CT loan means easier cred
it and a low interest rate for
thousands of veterans, enabling
former Servicemen to buy a
home, farm business.
A CT loan does not mean that
the Veterans Administration
guarantees that construction of
a new home is up to the best
building standards. That is the
responsibility of the veteran
himself and the lending instltu-
ton which makes the loan, VA
officials have emphasized, al
though VA will do all it can un-
der the law to see that. veterans
receive fair treatment.
Here are the answers TO some
questions about CT loans which
veterans regularly ask VA con-
tact representatives:
q. If | get a guaranteed loan
under the CT Bill, does the gov
eminent pay any part of the
loan for me?
A. Yes, the VA pays the lend
er, for credit to your loan aC-
count. an amount equal to per
cent of the guaranteed portion
of the loan.
o. | understand that the gov
eminent Will guarantee up to
$4,000 on a business loan Is this
correct?
A. 1t is correct if the business
loan is for the purchase of bus
ness real estate. but if the
loan is for non real estate, the
maximum guarantee cannot be
more than $4,000.
q. What are some of the adj
vantageS offered to the veteran
by the Gil Bill if he buys home
under its guaranteed loan pro
visions?
A. With d VA guaranty, the
veteran has d better chance of
inducing the lender to make
loan The lender may even con
slider making the loan where no
down payment is to be made on
the home. Another advantage is
the percent rate of interest that
is low. CT loans may also ordi-
narllN be made for longer peri
cd of time than most loans.
O. Can a veteran get a guar
antccd loan for any type of bus
mess
A. Yes. the veteran can get
guaranteed loan on any type OF
legitimate business on which the
lender is willing to lend money.
@ Can get d guaranteed
loan for any type Of business?
A. Yes. the veteran can get
guaranteed loan on any type of
legitimate business on which the
lender is willing to lend money,
q. Can | get guaranteed
loan to buy furniture for my
home and d pleasure car?
A. No.

War Plant Disposal Policy Hit
By Murray Urging New Setup

White House. An administration
spokesman informed North Ameri-
can Newspaper Alliance that the re-
port is being carefully studied for
appropriate action"
Reports Disregarded.
Citing a long list of specific cases,
Murray's report fatty charges WAA
with disregarding the priority rights
of veterans and small business in
disposing large numbers of choice
Government war plants. He also
accuses WAA of refusing to cooper
ate with the RFC to permit 1t to
fulfill its.obligations as to real prop
erty under the surplus property act. ;"
Senator Murray makes two cate,
gorical charges against Attorney
General Clark for approving the sale
of the giant, Government-built
Geneva steel plant, in Utah, to the
United States Steel Corp. He ac-
cuses Mr.. Clark of suppressing re-
port by the Justice Departments
antitrust division disapproving this
sale, and dsregarding similar re-
port made to Congress by former At
torney General Francis Biddle.
The Murray reports adds:
THE disregard of the facts by the
disposal agency and Attorney Cen
eral Clark is a fragrant abandon
ment of their obligations under the
Surplus Property Act and the War
mobilization and reconversion Act.
The Geneva steel plant was deliv-
cred to the leading practitioner Of
monopoly in America because stand
ards set by Congress had been studi-
ously avoided and the obligations of
high public office forgotten"

of Republican leaders, not later than
the first week in April. The Labor
Committee is to hold its first execu-
tive session to begin drafting bill
on Tuesday. The Senate Labor
Committee is already at work franz
ing such a measure. There is
great confidence that a bill with
teeth in it will pass the House, and
that it will receive favorable action
in the Senate.
Veto Held Unwise.
From the standpoint of the in
terests of the country, and from the
standpoint of politics, the Repub-
lican leadership in Congress feels
that President Truman will follow
an unwise course if he heeds the
advice of some of the Democrats on
Capitol Hill and vetoes these meas
ures.
If the President vetoes a tax re-
duction bill, that action is not going
to make him or his party popular
with the rank and file voters, the
Republicans contend. Nor would a
veto of the labor bills be popular,
they insist.
AS for the money bills, Congress
holds the whip hand there. The
Executive can not spend money
which Congress does not appro-
pirate.

Republicans Stand
Together on Major
Items Of Program
By Gould Lincoln

The Republican legislative pro-
gram is rolling in Congress now.
Instead of wide divisions among the
Republicans themselves-as pre-
dicted in some quarters-the ma
jority members in both Senate and
House are standing together on the
important items of the program,
with very few exceptions.
Only Presidential veto could
check any of the important parts
of the program, which includes tax
reduction, budget cutting, and la
Dor legislation. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that Congress
would not override veto on some of
the measures which will go to the
White House-if a veto comes.
Long steps toward putting the
program through Congress were
taken last week and will be taken
this week. The Senate put through
the so-called portal-to-portal pay
bill, which already had passed the
House, designed to outlaw suits
aggregating some $4,000, 100000 by
labor unions against employers
Despite threats of Presidential
veto, Republican leaders insist the
measure will become law, as soon as
the slight differences between the
two houses have been adjusted in
conference.
Tax Cut Reported Favorably.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee has completed and reported
favorably an income tax reduction
bill. 1t includes the promised 20
per cent cut for individuals, except
for those having incomes in excess
of 100000 who will receive lesser
reductions. The bill also provides
for cuts up to 80 per cent on the
lowest income groups now paying
taxes. This bill will be up for con-
sideration in the House Wednesday
and Thursday, under special
"take-it-or-l it" rule.
Majority Leader Halleck yester-
day predicted it would pass by a
large vote; that not more than half
dozen Republican votes would be

lost, If that many, and that q sub
stantial number Of Democrats would
vote for the bill, Notwithstanding
the opposition of the Democratic
leadership of the House.
Finishing touches were put on
the resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution limiting
Presidents to two terms, which now
goes to the Legislatures of the States
for ratification. Adopted by more
than a two-thirds vote of both
houses, the resolution is not sub
ject to presidential veto. The
proposed limitation of the presi-
Dental tenure of Office was one of
the promises made by the Repub-
licans during their campaigning.
Expenditures Cut.
In the two regular appropriation
bills so far to come before the House
from the Appropriations Committee,
the Treasury and Post Office bill
and the Labor Department bill, the
Republicans have made good on
their promises to cut Federal ex-
penditures to the bone. The first
of these bills, from which nearly
5000, ,000, 900 was Topped, has passed
the House and gone to the Senate.
The Labor Department bill will
come UP for consideration tomor-
row and should be passed on Tues
day.
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee expressed
condence that it would be possible
to slice five or, six billion dollars from
these money bills, thereby keeping
Republican pledges to save money,
balance the budget, reduce taxes
and reduce the National debt.
The portal pay bill is the first
labor measure to be passed by both
houses of Congress this session. 1t
is, however, only the forerunner of
a major labor bill which will be

British Leaders Act
To QueII Commons
Revolt on Draft
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Mar. 22.-Labor leaders
marshalled their disciplinary forces
this week end to put down new
rank -and-file parliamentary revolt. D
approximately 10 members among
the House of Commons so-called
"backbenchers" have lined up in
tight opposition to the governments
bill for peacetime military conscrip-
ton which is expected to send more
than 100000 young men into uni
form during the next five years.
Directors to the entire theory OF
peacetime conscription have been
joined by vocal group that insists
the prospective recruits are more
needed in British industry.
Little Chance of Victory.
The government, trying to return
men who saw war service to civilian
life, holds only conscription Of 49,
year-olds can maintain the military
at the level needed to meet Britain's
requirements at home and abroad.
The CONSUMPTION bill, introduced
March IL, probably will be called for
debate before the two weeks Easter
recess begins April 8.
The labor rebels" seem to have
slight chance of defeating the
measure. In general the conserva-
tives agree with the immediate need
for CONSUMPTION.
Party Caucus Scheduled.
Labor leaders consequently have
scheduled a party caucus for Mon
day. 1t was predicted that the
rebels" would be lectured severely
and, after a private airing of
grievances, much of the steam would
disappear.
A second revolt, repeatedly involv-
ing more than 100 labor members,
was forming on the question of
Northern Ireland.
Critics will ask Commons to re-
fuse, to extend the powers Of the
Northern Ireland parliament until
that subordinate group so admin
listers its present authority "as to
provide democratic liberty and
equality for the people of Northern
Ireland"

eral years ago but the bids were
too high and the plans were re-
drafted to come within the available

Grove Dramatic Group
Presents cinderella"

More than $50 persons attended
the presentation of cinderella"
staged by the Young Dramatic
Group of Washington Grove, on
Friday evening at the Grove Audi
torium. The fantasy was in two
acts = the setting for which were
Cirderella's home, and the castle.
The lights and music were selected
to accompany the reading and &C.
ton.
Helen Jackson, dressed first in
a simple pink dress and later in a
ball gown of shimmering white,
completely captivated the audience
with her portrayal of Cinderella.
The Prince was admirably played
by Dale Jackson. Barbara Bent,
as convincing little Queen,
played several beautiful piano Sc
lections for the guests attending
the ball. The Fairy Godmother,
played by Dottie Muir, was as
sweet and whimsical as if she had
just stepped from an old fairy tale
book. She gave a lovely dance
number while Cinderella slept be-
fore the fire. The two step-sisters,
in vari-colored gowns, were suf-
ficiently attractive to have taken
the eye of the Prince, had it not
been for their little sister. They
did dance with their mirrors.
The parts of the sisters were
played by Janet Pray and Mary
Moore. The King played by Will
bur Spilman, the Prime Minister,
by Wilmer Matthias; the Banker,
by Dickie Tull; the pages by Will
liam Grogan, Norman Grogan, Da-
vid Bent, and David Gieger added
much to the scenes as well as to
the pleasure of the audience. Jean
Greenberg gave Hungarian
dance for the Princes party. ia
nice Lear, as the stepmother did
her austere and indignant part to
perfection.
The play was staged and direc-
ted by Dorothy Troth Muir, as
sisted by Mrs. Phillip Edwards at
the lights, Bob Ray at the curtain,
and Stanley Fink with the scene
shifting. Mrs. Bernard Bent was
the, mother reading the story of
Cinderella to her little girl, played
by FRITZ Edwards.
