GI Home Loans Near
Collapse, Legion Says

The American Legion charged to-
day that the CT home loan program
for veterans is on the verge Of total
collapse"
Walter E. Alessandroni, chairman
of the Legion's National Housing
Committee, said the number of CT
loans has tumbled about 40 per
cent in the last five months.
He said banks and other lending
agencies are refusing to make CT
loans because they have used up
reserves set aside to make the loans,
and urged Congress to provide a
new secondary market" which
would buy such loans from banks
The Reconstruction Finance Corp.
provided such a secondary market
for the loans until last summer.
Morgan B. Callahan, Veterans
Administration loan guarantee Of
flcer for the District area, pointed
out earlier that veterans here are
finding it nearly impossible to get
loans through agencies here.
In addition to the absence Of a
secondary market, he said banks
also are holding back to see whether
Congress will authorize higher in
terest rates than the present per
cent allowed on veterans loans.
VA said that throughout the coun-
try home loan applications declined
from 52.713 last September to 32,621

Planned on School Aid
As Voted by Senate
BY the Asseeioted Press

Whether the Government will
give $300,00o,0oo in Federal
school aid to the States next
year depends on the House.
The Senate approved such meas
ure late yesterday, So to 20, after a
weeks debate.
But there were no plans in the
House for immediate consideration
of the bill which Senate supporters
have hailed as providing an added
weapon in the war of words against
communism.
Z An education aid bill somewhat
similar to the Senate's was approved
nearly year ago by House Public
welfare Subcommittee. But the
sfull committee has never acted on it.
Taft Stresses Importance.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
one of the authors of the Senate
measure, said:
This bill is for the purpo.e of
providing a minimum educational
opportunity for the school children.
think there is nothing more i'm
,portant to the welfare Of the people
of the United States"
The final Senate vote cut across
party lines, with q Republicans and
81 Democrats supporting it. Twenty
two Republicans and five Democrats
were opposed
The bill contains no provision for
funds. These would have to be
voted in separate legislation. 1t
would permit such an appropriation
for the year starting July l, if the
House appnoves it by then.
The contemplated 100000, 900
authorization would be divided
among the States according to a
complex formula based on the num-
Der of school children between S
and II and the States income tax
payments.
Poor States Allowed More.
This would give relatively larger
shares to poor States with Federal
grants ranging from a yearly mini
mum Of IS pupil to about $28.
Federal funds would have to be
used for current expenses-salaries,
books, supplies and so on. They
could not be spent for building con-
struction or interest payments.
Those States whose constitutions
permit aid to church and private
schools could use Federal money for
that purpose.
The amount each State would re-
ceive was computed last year from
the latest figures then available
For the District of Columbia 1t
would be $4,000, for Maryland,
s2,135,000, and for Virginia, $8,-
070,000.

BOSTON, April IA German VII.

shevism.
The testimony was presented by
Werner Plack, q prosecution wit.
ness, who said Best considered Com.
munism . world menace and sought
radio job because he wanted to
influence fellow Americans.
Best Is charged with treason In
broadcasting Nazi propaganda for
Radio Berlin during the war.
Placks testimony appeared to
buoy the defendant. As he walked
from the courtroom under guard at
the end Of the session he smiled,
and said to newsmen: That makes
q different story doesn't it?"
Plack said he met Best In Ber.
lin in 1912 and took him to the
ONCE Of the German short wave
radio station.
Under cross-examination, the wit.
ness said it was his own idea to
suggest to Best he become Q radio
commentator.
He said the defendant had told
him his American money was tied
up, and that he had little savings
in German money. All that Best
wanted. he added, was enough to
get along.
Plack said he introduced Best to
Horst Cleinow, head of the short
wave station. as a man Of 20 years
newspaper experience.
Earlier, Fred Oechsner, q State
Department employe. said that Best
worked for the United Press in
Germany on salary basis and
later as string correspondent. Mr..
Oechsner formerly was Central Eu-
ropean manager for the news
agency.

$500 q year. Incidentally, there is q
good chance that the full committee
will increase its subcommittee $46s
to the $500 figure, which would
mean q $10-a-week wage boost for
Federal employees.
4. Most pay bill sponsors confide
that they expect the House to ap-
prove the temporary s46s or $500
bill and the Senate to approve the
Flanders proposal. This would
necessitate the drafting OF an entire
ly new bill In House-Senate con-
ference.
S. The conferees' bill would be
something like this: Pay raises
Of $468 or $500 for all Federal en-
ployes, plus substantial wage boosts
to top-hight Government ofncials
through the lifting of the present
$4,000 Federal pay ceiling.
Despite the odds against the COM
mittee's bill in its present form,
Chairman LANCER and Senator
Chavez, Democrat, Of New Mexico,
the committees ranking minority
member, say they will fight for as
liberal o measure as possible. In
fact, Senator LANCER feels the $3.50
raise isn't enough.
The committees bin would cost
an estimated $3.50, 900 900 to $1,000
Oo0, 900, which Is why the Republican
leadership Is 50 cool to 1t. Too
costly, the Republican leadership
feels. They want the measure cut
considerably.
Chairman Rees Of the House Civil
Service Committee says he believes
his group will report its bill out
next Thursday.
SEQUEL~Yesterday We disclosed
the Civil Service Commissions new
order which calls for the firing Of
any of its employees who take sick
leave without actually being i'll.
Well, shortly after the notice was
posted in one Of its ofiices, . sweet
young thing turned to her boss with
wrinkled brow and asked:
Would . hangover be counted
as a legitimate illness"
The official was 80 fioored by the
question, he failed to give her a

again and tell her that hangovers
are not oficially recognized in the
