South S Regional Plan
Sets Educational Pace
For U. s., Experts Say
by the Isseeiotsd Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Mar. 5.-The
Southern Regional College plan for
Joint State operation of top-grade
schools In highly specialized fields Is
forseen by two experts as the an
swer to Northern education prob
lens, too.
Owen D. Young, New York indus
trialist and educator, and Oliver c.
Carmichael, president Of the Car
negie Foundation, both have in
dorsed the scheme. They said it
inevitably will be followed In other
sections of the Nation.
They spoke at o conference yes
terday Of Southern college presi-
dents and deans on the proposal
which, after years of discussion,
seems to be near activation. Both
Mr.. Young and Mr.. Carmichael will
receive honorary degrees from the
University of Florida today during
ceremonies inaugurating DR.. j.
Hills Miller as university president.
New Council Meets.
A morning of open discussion was
followed by a closed meeting of the
newly organized Council on Re-
gional Education to make detailed
plans for putting the plan into op-
Grafton.
Presidents of several Southern
Negro colleges sat with the educa-
tors. Three of them were invited
to attend the closed council session
One of the first specific items be-
fore the council will be a proposal to
take over Meharry Medical College
at Nashville, Tenn, regional school
for Negroes. The private institution
has been offered to the States be-
cause it is in financial difficulties.
The Southern plan calls for es.
tablishment of white schools as vel
as Negro colleges on cooperative
basis for those fields in which nc
State alone could afford to finance q
high ranking institution.
Sees Plan Inevitable in North.
Mr.. Young, who recently headed
q special committee on New York
State educational problems, told
the conference ut is perfectly OBJ
vious" that tax money must be
called on for adequate financing OF
expensive facilities for specialized
education.
Although interstate education will
come in the South earlier than the
North, I'VE krow it is inevitable
there too," he added.
DR.. Carmichael told the educa-
tors with the growing complexity
of society and the consequent in
creasing demands for educational
services the necessity for pooling
resources for joint undertakings is
becoming more and more ap-
parent"

Insurance Records
Important To Vets
Veterans holding active National
Service Life Insurance &C. /. insur-
ance) policies are urged by the Vet
Grams Administration to give the
policies a three-way check to make
certain they conform TO their plans,
incomes and obligations.
VA insurance officials suggest
veterans make certain their insur-
ance records contain the following:
% Names of proper beneficiaries,
both principal and contingent; ~
manner of payment desired to bene-
ficiaries, and; (3) amount and type
of C. l. insurance the veteran de-
Sires TO keep in force.
Many veterans, the VA warns,
have neglected to name new bene
ficiaries to their insurance, even
after marriage, divorce, birth of
children, death of previous bene-
ficiarieS or other changes. This
might have serious consequences in
event of the veterans death because
when no beneficiary, is. designated,
the proceeds usually to to the es-
tate.
This not only may subject the
money 70 various 1eQeral OF STATE
taxes, but also may prevent pay
ment of the insurance to the person
or persons for whom it was actually
intended.
VA regulations now provide four
optional methods for payment of G.. |
I. insurance proceeds in event of a
veterans death. The choice of the |
veteran must be recorded in his VA |
insurance files.
A final reminder from the VA |
urges veterans to always pay their |
G. /. insurance premiums on the |
due date and thus help prevent |
needless lapsing of policies.
Question of the Week
Q-Is it still possible for me TO |
Teinstate my lapsed National Ser

Ayes. You can still reinstate |
G. I. insurance on comparative
health" basis if it is still within
three months of the date of lapse. |
If your policy has been lapsed more /
than three months, you will be re /
quired to take a physical examine /
ton to reinstate. Necessary pre-
miums must be paid.

 ''The Territory last year collect ed 5i9 million tax dollars. The largest single tax bill was paid by our largest ndustry-salmon. The fishing industry's tax bill was well over 8 million and half dollars or 27 percent of the total.
 There are some wno say a mill lion and a half dollars isn't enough. Maybe it isn't. But the isn't going to be found in any plots to wreck the salmon industry.
