The war, no matter what any one may tell you, is not over. Sure, the fighting two years ago last Septem- ber-and peace treaties have been signed with some of our former enemies-but still the war is not over
 There is more than one way to end the war officially, but, believe me. after l5-minute conversa- ion with an expert in the Depart ment of Justice - am confused n what they are, with one ex- option.
 This is airtight
 When we sign peace treaties With Germany, Japan and Austria, and when those treaties are ratified by the Senate and proclaimed by the President, then the war is over
 No one knows when that might happen, or whether Congress and he President will take other steps 70 end the war.
 However, the war has ended for cclta.n purposes, such as ellgibil- ity for the CT Bill. Questions re- .eived by this department indicate the ex-service world is confused on just what these certain purposes" ..re.
