less of the number of dependents
 We have not altered our conviction that Con- gress did not intend, in voting the lavish free edu- catona benefits of the CT Bill of Rights, to relieve veterans in college from all necessity of contributing to their own support However, the situation had be- come such that many veterans with families were being forced to do much outside work to earn a bare living that they could not give proper attention to their studies Hence the matter for Congress to decide was whether considering the great rise m living costs the old allowances were defeating the purposes of the CT Bill We believe that they were
 The same may be said of the on-the job training ceilings which the House voted to increase. Under present provisions a veteran taking such training permitted receive benefits of S65 and S90, re- spectively up to total monthly income maximums of SITS for single persons and S200 for married Congress set these ceilings shut out the moochers who preV- olsy had contended they were training even though they were making in cases $500 and SIOO a month We believe that such ceilings unrealistc in view of todays imitation. We wonder, however vhather the House has erred the side ot gen. ercsitv in tipping the maximums to S25O for slnge rainees S325 for those with one dependent and S3oo for those with two or more dependents It is more than possible that these sums may act as oeleirehv to those veterans who are struggling to make go oi career jobs at smaller salaries The Senate wisely m onr onnion has declined to go along with the full amount of the House raises, and compromise pc tu,een the Senate maximum of $250 and the house ma xmum of S350 is now in conference
 While the increased costs connected with these adistments are necessary they do present an anoma in ught of the seeming Congressional deternnhalloii o lower taxes come hell or high water At the very ire the House was voting to cut taxes by six ana a

Vocational Education
(New York Times)

In both public and private schools current piop- e,ns are forcing difficult decisions Increased eXpeho tres are pressing school budgets The higher costs of materials and work are reflected in general com ,nnitv tax increases over the nation School admin itrators are seriously concerned over proposals to
 duce the vocational courses given in most larger communities - siret
 Ever since Federal and State monies were -lHst
 ,,ronfiated for vocational education there mas pee o,a oro,,n which has been in opposition rms group feolc that the common schools should provide gen oral education for future citizens but that tranllls for enecific trades and industries is not concern of schools supported by The contention IS that b; training benefits certain private businesses ana
 ot the bodv polite as whole. In some instances th ,,nostion has been powerful enough to preciuoe .or hold to minimum the vocational education m us community
 It is essential that not only shall vocational training in both public and private schools maintain
 it's present level but that opportunities for preparing for earning livelihood be increased. Only minority of high school graduates to regular 1our-year colleges Many take some further training for a wear or two in specialized fields but probably at least a half of the nations high school graduates go to work after graduation In the last two decades much progress has been made in combining general educa- ton with trade and craft training the high schools In rural areas there has been an encouraging ln- crease in teaching modern farming and modern home making It would be a step backward to reduce or eliminate the progress made to date It is important that our youth learn how to live; it Is also important that they be prepared to make living

COP CROssFIRE

Two Republicans recently staged a hot running-fire verbal battle over the Administration alleged proposal to hold back embarrassing news. The two Congressmen - vituperative Clare Hoffman of Michigan and hard-hitting George Bender of Ohio-were supposed to be probing the Truman's Admin istrations alleged plan to withhold news, but Hoffman seemed more interested in Investigating his coll league, MT Bender.
 Trying to keep his critical cracks off the record, Hoffman frequent ly warned the official reporter Don't put that down. or Keep this off the record Once he snapped: We don't want to pay to have this sort of thing taken down
 Yet he kept up his hot-tempered comments, exploding them at ran dom, no matter who was talking.
 When Carlton Skinner, informa- tion chief for the Interior Depart ment, was sworn in, Hoffman barked: Who called this man?'
 T called him." said Bender.
 Why did you call him?" snort

TERRORISM IN ITALY

Uncensored diplomatic dispatches from Italy are pessimistic in the extreme.
 The Italian people were under Fascist dictatorship for so many years that they now lack courage at election time. They are accus- tened to intimidation.
 Therefore when the Communist strong arm groups tell Italian peas- ants that if they don't vote Com munist, they will be put on the purge list, the peasants believe it. They also are dazzled by promises that if they do vote Communist, the big landlords land will be di- vided up and they will be on the list to get their share. Czechoslovakia also has had it's effect upon Italy Knowing what happened there, people figure the same thing will happen in Italy. Therefore, they want to get on the right bandwagon and get on early.
 IT the coming Italian election was free from terrorism, all re- i ports indicate the Communists would make no gains. But the di- lemma facing the United States is that in what will appear on the surface as fair election, the Communists will win. This will make it extremely difficult for the U. s. fleet to intervene.

 Because purred Bender, T wanted him as witness"
 When Hoffman's questioning brought out that Skinner was a Methodist, Bender broke iii with
 q called him because he IS a Methodist.
 T would do anything to please the chairman" added Bender sweetly, even sing hymns if nec- essary.'
 But Hoffman's nagging finally weaIied his colleague from Ohio.
 After four or five years Of this sort of thing" he signed, you get sort of calloused.'
 Turning to Nat Finney of the Minneapolis Star-Journal and Tri- bune, who was testifying and talk ing Hoffman's abuse, Bender advis- ed: Don't pay too much attention to him"

EMPIRE RECEIVES SECOND LETTER OF REQUEST. GERMANY

Another letter has been receiv- cd by the Empire from a family in Germany requesting any kind of assistance rom people in Alaska, The letter, in German, states that the writer has five children who are in desperate need of clothing and food.
 The winter, has been long and hard and food is increasingly scarce in their section of the British Zone of Occupation The latest ration ing has cut the meat situation in half and they cannot feed the children.
 Anyone wishing to send articles of food and clothing to this fam fly. it is assured. would be appre- ciated very much. and could be instrumental in saving the small children from starvation.

PRICE OF GOLD

Nothing sensible exists in the situation in Whch the gold miners find themselves today With wages and the prices of all materials that are required n the production of gold high levels the spread between the returns in paper dollars that must be accepted TOT gold in the United States and the cost of producing it is just too small for marginal operators
 The result is that we find mines throughout the country either far below the level of output and profits that formerly prevailed else closed down.
 The gold miner would have nothing 70 fear or complain about if he were allowed to meet his payroll and bills with his product, however he is penaiSed by being forced to accept payment in a depreciatmg currency at a fixed rate
 Costs continue to rise. Should the gold miner simply expect slow extinction or will new adjust ment of the appreciated paper dollar be forced?
 Most mining men believe that government which has abused it's power to create huge debts and to issue paper money can no more hold gold to a price fixed in 1884 than it maintain fixed prices for foods and other materials That the price of gold will be a campaign issue in the coming election IS indicated by plank adopted by the Western Re publican Party Conference at Denver calling for repeal of the prohibition the free circulation of gold.

TIME WORKS AGAINST scyIET

What all this adds up to is that either the Russians mean serious business or are determined to take all they can in Europe immediately
 Best diplomatic intelligence is that Moscow has decided to take advantage of three important de- velopments:
 A The Italian Elections. These would go against Communism without a strong Russian show of force ill Europe A wave of terrorism among Italian voters, however. can switch the vote to a Communistic majority
 B. The Marshall Plan. If it starts working successfully. Russia will lose ground in Europe. The time to act, therefore, is now before the Marshall Plan gets go- ing.
 c. The Western European AL liance. Present Soviet big-stick- waving is aimed at both soaring some nation, such as Sweden,.from joining the alliance and at em- bracing as much of Europe as possible before the Western bloc can do the embracing.
 Finally. Moscow realizes that an election year in the USA is the psychological time to harass Eu- rope-especially when the United
