lm1G SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE 70 stu
dent veterans and on-the- job train
ees will be considered within q week
by the House Veterans Affairs
Committee, Chairman Edith Nourse
Rogers said today.
Mrs. Rogers said she would raise
the question at the committees
first meeting.
To date, Mrs. Rogers has received
petitions from more than 10000 CT
students and trainees asking that
the ceilings be removed or raised.
The decision w2s made after
Veterans Administrator Bradley
submitted to the committee yester-
day a four-month survey covering
all phases of allowance payments
for the trainees.
212,000 Allowances Reduced.
The report, it was learned, re-
vealed that more than $4,000 vet
Grams received allowance cuts as
soon as ceilings went into effect last
August. No statistics were given for
GI students.
Authorized in final sessions Of the
Seventh ninth Congress last August
the ceilings sliced allowances Of vet
Grams actually earning more than
$40 a month. Under the CT Bill,
students and trainees with depend
ents are allowed subsistence pay
ments up to $50 month. Those
without dependents may draw up
to $65.
Hurried enactment of the ceilings
five months ago brought harsh crit
icism from labor, business and
veterans organizations. At present
about Is House bills have been in
troduced urging repeal or drastic
revision Of the legislation.
Given Committee for Study.
Mrs. Rogers said the Bradley re-
port was given the committee for
study.
Although Gen. Bradley made no
specific recommendations to the
committee, she said, the report de-
Tended the need for allowance re-
strictions. According to statistics
in the survey, average monthly in

ers was found to be about 5000.
The report claimed that So per
cent of the 100000 veterans on the
subsistence rolls last August received
immediate cuts in allowance. OF
the number about $4,000, or 7 pei
cent, were receiving wages above the
ceilings and were removed from the
rolls entirely.
Allowance of newcomers to the
subsistence rolls have been auto
matically adjusted to meet the cell
ings. No estimate was made of the
number of applicants denied be-
cause of the ceilings.
50-60% May Be Above Ceiling.
Gen. Bradley said perhaps so tt
go per cent of the working popula-
ton, including veterans, are re-
ceiving monthly compensation
above the current ceilings"
He added, however, that effect.
of the ceilings would be felt mos
in the Pacific Coast, New York
Columbus and Chicago areas, which
he said are the high wage regions
of the country.
Just as more veterans would be
hurt by ceilings in these high-wage
regions, the administrator pointed
out that effects can be seen ir
various occupations.
For example," the report said
40 per cent of the trainees in the
construction occupation, in which
the trainee wage rates are above
average, would have their allow
ances Immediately reduced or dis
continued.

On the other hand, 1t added
trainees in leather products courses
would be affected only half as fre-
quently as the average of all occu-
pations.

Russia and France
Reported Backing
New AnschIuss Ban
BY The Asseeiessd Press

LONDON, Jan. Il. ~ Russia and
France were reported today to be
lined up behind a proposal before
the Deputy Foreign Ministers Coun-
ell for an ironbound guarantee in
| the Austrian peace treaty which
would forever prohibit another an
schluss linking Germany and Aus
tria.
British sources said there appeared
| to be little disagreement among the
big -Four deputies on political phases
| Of the treaty. Western powers were
said to be pressing for withdrawal
Iof occupation forces from Austria
within 80 days after signing of f'the
treaty.
Both the antianschluss and with
drawal clauses were expected to go
into the draft now being prepared
for the March meeting of the foreign
ministers in Moscow.
American sources said the United
States favored a treaty clause obli-
eating Austria to retain her indie
pendence but probably would agree
to a specific ban on future union
with Germany. British sources said
there was no Russian opposition yes
terday to the proposal to withdraw
occupation forces 80 days after sign
ing the treaty-a clause included in
the treaties for Bulgaria, Finland,
Italy, Hungary and Romania.

Only 1900 of the strikers
were directly involved In the
settlement. The rest - includ-
ing transport workers in all
major cities, food workers,
lockers, warehousemen and
others struck in protest
when the Labor government
called out troops to break the

ton brought about its most Sc
ri0us rift to date with the UNI

The decision to end the strike,
arrived at by TOO delegates re
presenting the $4,000 striking
drivers, came after repeated at
tempts by the government, EN-
ployers and leaders of the Trans

to pressure strikers into resum-

started. The strikers, however,
wouldn't bulge from their de.
mand that they be guaranteed
certain concessions before going
back on the job.
