BE 6. 0. P. Candidate

Republican National Chairman
Carroll Reece today conceded that
President Truman is more popular
now than he was last November.
But the reason. Mr.. Reece told
100 Republican women meeting here,
"lies in the fact that he has sought
to appropriate to himself, ostensibly
at least, some important parts OF
the Republican program. His pres
ent nti-Communist crusade Is a
good example Of what ! have In
mind"
"It Is fiattering, of course" he
continued, ito have the President
adopt this me, too technique OF
campaigning for election next year
If Mr.. Truman wishes to campaign
for the presidency on Republican
platform, I am willing to accept
that as an indication OF his good
Judgment and I believe such pro-
cedure would be good for the coln.
try generally" Il
Would Appreciate Aid. II
Mr.. Reece told his audience that
he was not supposed to speculate "a
who would be the Republican pre-
idential candidate in 1948, but he
would let them in on a secret" and
said that the party's candidate 'vin
not be Harry S. Truman"
"If, however, ,"she added, mfr. T'u-
man wishes to support the Rep1b-
ican candidate, whoever the latter
may be, by indorsing the Republican
platform, I feel confident his assist
ance will be appreciated"
Mr.. Reece addressed women Re-
publican leaders from 10 Atlantic
Coast States. They began a two
day Organizing for Victory" con-
ference at the Hotel Statler to start
Foff the women's campaign for 1948.
This Is one Of three April regional
conferences sponsored by the Ma
tional Federation of Womens Re-
publican Clubs. The others will be
held in Davenport, Iowa, and Boise,
Idaho.
Mrs. Addison B. Green of Holyoke,.
Mass, federation president, said the
Nation needs "a vigorous educational
campaign for more representative
voting. Overnight miracles cannot
be performed in 1948, on the eve of
election. The start must be made in
1947 with a continuous reminder to
register campaign"
Party Declared United.
"I commend to you the launching
of such a campaign Immediately"
she said, Gin order that the voters
decision next year, convincing as it
will be in establishing a Republican
administration in Washington, may
also be fully representative voice
of all the Nation.
Mrs. Robert w. Macauley, assist
ant chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, told the women
"the Republican Party is wholly
united on major objectives."
eve who helped elect the Repub-
lican Congress-who comprise the
working party-have to make a
careful distinction between disunity,
party cleavage and the normal un-
rest of group newly assembled
plus wholesome difference in point
Of vieW," she said.
"If we fail to make this distinc-
tion," Mrs. Macauley added, I'VE
will be selling out our Congress,
which we have shaved and sacrificed
to elect"

AIRG0ER5 DURING LAST YEAR EQUAL
 6e% OF ALASkANS

WASHINGTON, April = lR - Alaska is tco most air travel minded aref, in the world, the Civil Aeronautics Administration reported today.
 CAA said the number Of Alaskan airline passengers last year equalled 69 percent of the Territory's 80,000 population.
 The number of airline passen- gers in the United States was less than 10 percent of the population.
 CAA said Alaskan air travel can be expected to increase in volume as mining activities grow Alaska has very little surface transpor- tation.
 The average Alaskan resident flew 233 miles last year, compar- ed with 52 miles for residents of the States. There is plane for every 133 residents in Alaska, while the ratio in the States is one to 1,647.

Remember Public Law 679? Sure you do. or you certainly do if you're one of the 2ia million vet erans taking training under the GI Bill education program.
 Public law 679 lowered a SITS or $2oo ceiling on top of the total income derived from wages and subsistence allowance any eX-ser- vice guy or gal can make.
 It works this way:
 If you arc training on the job and make sl10 month or less, ycu are entitled to the full S65 CT Bill subsistence allowance 1or veterans with no dependents).
 But once your wages go up to SEQ a month then your subsis tence is cut tc S55 a month, to keep the total at the S175 ceiling
 Fer veterans wl.o nave wlves or ether dependents the ceiling is S2oo a month. total of wages and subsistence allowance, and tfG allowance IS S9U.
 Some people seem to think this ceiling means that no veteran, training under the GI Bill, can make more than $l75 a month tor SGCo in wages That's the Kind of thinking that leaves the VA cold and clammy because these same people held the VA respon- sible And it's not true A veteran can makc as much morey as he can make. but once his salary reaches the ceiling t$175 or S200l he gets no more allowance
 General Bradley, VA adminis- trator, has heen called several times by the House Veterans Committee to testify on these cell ings. But you know, the funny thing about the generals testi- mony is that committee mem hers seldom asked him questions atout the ceilings Instead he was asked about the on-the-farm train ing program or about farm loans or about a lot of other things hav- ing little bearing on Public Law 679
 Nevertheless, legislation to change Public 679 is now in the works The Bill reported out of the House Veterans Committee recently is a sort of compromise between the present ceilings and no ceiling at all.
 If it passes the House, as it pro- bably will, it has to travel over to the Senate ard be acted upon there.

VETERANS' GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

Welfare Committee handles all veterans education, rehabilitation and Disqualification matters Right now that committee is up to it's white collars in labor legislation. It's my guess some tine will elapse before it gets down to business on bill to raise or eliminate those ceilings, whether it be the House bill or one of it's own making.
 But this much we can E2t our terminal leave bonds on, Sooner or later the SITS and $200 ceilings will be raised The new ceilings likely will be in the vicinity of s250 for single veterans and $500 for those who have dependents.
