facts straight.
On Saturday morning, Nov.

north bound, No. 80 of the
Michigan Central r. R., which

On stopping at 63rd st. 1lli-

standing on the south bound
tracks opposite, train with
several coaches, all filled. This
train was evidently a football

What shocked me was the
very large black and white sign
at the end of each coach which
read "White Coach Train" The
coaches seemed to be filled with
white passengers only.

OnIv2 Per Cent of Veterans Have
Claimed Read justment Allowance

dred eighteen veterans who filed
first claims were eligible for po-
tential entitlement of 1886 TAO
weeks, but drew only 4O8, ,935 weeks,
amounting to $8,141 1895, leaving a
potential balance of ], ,237, ,805 weeks,
and $24, ,755, ,14O. The average po-
tential entitlement of these vet
Grams was 5O8 weeks, while the
average duration of veterans draw
ing one or more checks, was 1873
weeks of payment. The average
weekly allowances drawn was
1891.
The greatest number of readjust-
ment allowance claims were filed
in Arizona from December 1915 to-
May 1916, and since that time, the
number of claims filed has been
decreasing each month with the
exception of January of 1947.
The number of claims filed in
September is the lowest monthly
total during 1947. Thirteen thous-
and one hundred twenty initial and

pealing to veteran-students and job
trainees, as we'll as to schools and
Job training establishments in
which vererans are enrolled under
the CT Bill, for assistance in pre-
venting subsistence allowance ov-
erpayments, w. T. Hardaway,
Manager of the VA Regional Of
flee at Phoenix, said today.
The veterans an dtheir training
establishments are asked to nifty
VA Immediately when trainee-vet-
erans abandon their training pro-
gram. When the veterans know in
advance the definite date on which
they will complete or discontinue
their training, they should advise
VA at that time instead of waiting
until they actually stop their train
ing, Hardaway said.
Failure to notify VA of training
discontinuances usually results in
overpayments of subsistence allow
ances. Such overpayments must be
refunded to the government.
A recent survey disclosed an av-
erage lapse of % days between the
time the veteran stopped his train
ing and the time VA was notified
of his discontinuance AS a result,
the veteran continued to receive
subsistence allowance payments to
which he was not entitled.
Immediate or advance notice OF
training discontinuances will assist
VA materially in reducing the
amount of overpayments. In many
cases, such notices will eliminate
overpayments and the necessity for
refunds by veterans.
Veterans who receive unearned
subsistence checks after interrupt
ing or discontinuing their training
must return all overpaymentS to
the government or make SatiStac-
tory arrangements for repayment
of the indebtedness.
Veterans who fail to make ar
rangements to repay subsistence
alloanwce overpayments may be
prevented from re-entering schools
or job-training courses under the
CT Bill, Hardaway said.
Emphasizing that veterans are
not being forced to turn back full
amounts Immediately, Hardaway
explained that overpaid trainees
need only make arrangements for
monthly repayments that cause

A study of claims for readjust-
ment allowances filed by 32,418
veterans in Arizona since the begin
ming of the program in September
1914, indicates that only 651 claim
ants, or 2 per cent, have exhausted
their entitlement according to r. L..
Maxcy, Statistician, Unemployment
Compensation Division of the EN-
ployment Security Commission, the
Agency responsible for carrying out
these provisions of the Service
mems Readjustment Act of 1914.
Under the Readjustment AL
loWance Title of the C. I. Bill,
veterans are entitled to varying
number of weeks payment, based
upon period of their active service.
A veteran who served for 9A
months or more, is eligible for the
maximum entitlement of So weeks
of allowances, at $4,000 a week.
In Arizona, of 29,879 veterans,
who, because of the length of their
active service, were entitled to
draw readjustment allowances for
the maximum of 50 weeks, only
407, or IA per cent, drew the full
entitlement. Of the veterans who
filed and who were eligible for
entitlement, 92.17 per cent were
entitled to the full 50 weeks. Two
thousand nine hundred ninety four
claimants eligible for from eight to
So weeks, did not draw a check.
Of these 2,772 were eligible for the
full SO weeks. Of 1868 veterans en-
titled to 48 weeks allowances, 13
drew the full amount to which they
were entitled.

them no financial hardship and
thus become qualified to resume
their training.
Explaining that payment of gov
ernment funds to persons indebted
to the United States is prohibited
unless repayments are arranged
HardaWay said that veterans who
| received subsistence Overpayments
would have the amount they owe
the government deducted frim un-
employment or self-employment
allowances they might apply for
after leaving their training. When
such deductions are necessary, ev-
cry effort will be made to avoid
causing any veteran an undue
hardship, he said.
