The Veterans Administration an
nounced this afternoon that it has
reached an agreement with Colum-
bia Technical Institute which will
allow about 300 student veterans to
continue their education at the
school, located at Vermont avenue

The agreement apparently settled
a month-long dispute. during which
VA contended it would not pay
tuition for the students unless the
school furnished an itemized state
ment of operating costs. 1t was nee.
essary, VA said, to make sure the
tuition was fair and reasonable"
Under the law. VA was authorized
to demand the statement only as 1t

students, whose tuition rates we're
In excess of the cost Of day courses.
Columbia, however. has agreed to
reduce its night costs. and VA has
agreed to waive it's demand for the
statement, officials said.
Until the settlement was reached,
all the night students had been told
VA would pay them neither tuition
nor subsistence allowances. The
agency had said it would allow day
students to remain in classes at
Government expense only until ths

Harvard School Head
Can't Afford 10 Take
$4,000 CAB Post
DR.. Baker, Ex-Member,
Turns Down Position
Because Of SoIory
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman has made an
other unsuccessful effort to obtain
chairman for the Civil Aero
nautics Bosrd.
The White House disclosed today
that George P. Baker, director OF
the School of Transportation at
Harvard University. had turned
down the post because of the made
quacy of the $4,000 annual salary.
IT. Baker is a former member and
vice chairman of the CAB.
The university offered to aug
ment Dr. Bakers income by giving
him week lend assignments that
would not interfere with his work or
the CAB, but Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said the law spe.
cifically prohibits CAB member
from engaging in other busines'
activities.
According to the Presidents owl
figures, the post, which was mad
vacant by his failure to reappoin
James ]. Lands, has been tenderet
to nearly dozen persons. The onl!
acceptance came from Maj. Gen
Lawrence s. Kuter, whose appoint.
ment fell through when the Senate
Armed Services Committee rejected
Mr.. Truman's request for Legislation
which would have permitted the
Army general to keep his pay anc
allowances of more than $4,000
while occupying the civilian post.
Along with the Baker rejection, il
was made known also that the Pres
ident had unsuccessfully sought tc
interest Thomas>K. Finletter, head
of the Presidents Air Policy Board
in the CAB craftsmanship.
Mr.. Ross said DR.. Baker hao
hoped he could accept the position
but finally decided he couldn't sup.
port his wife and four children or
the pay. President James B. Conant
OF Harvard had agreed to cooperate
to aid DR.. Baker financially.
Mr.. Ross pointed out that while
the. statutory pay for the CAB Is
$4,000 annually. Congress has re-
fused to appropriate more than $l0,-
600.
