In view of the testimony presented

with this huge squander of public
funds on a project which. Is years

ity Act were recommended April II

a tax IL times that paid by employees.
Regular coverage of farm employees
and those working in non-profit insti-
tutions who are now excluded.

Union Reverses Stand
On A., B. & W. Offer,
Ending Strike Threat

Employees of the Alexandria, Bar
croft e. Washington Transit Co. have
notified the company they will ac-
cept fiat 10-cent wage increase
offer.
Acceptance of the offer removes
the threat of a strike July 81, when
the company's contract with its
drivers and mechanics expires.
The fiat increase accepted by a
2-to7l majority at two sessions yes
terday is the same increase turned
down by the union last week. Union
President Fred Dominy explained
the company had granted two new
concessions which he felt played a
major part in union acceptance of
the offer.
The two final points gained by
the union are provisions in the con-
tract that no bus operator will be
required to drive more than six
hours without time out for lunch,
and drivers will be paid minimum
OF two hours pay for extra work.
After the union turned down the
company's 10-cent increase, General
Manager B. c. May spoke to the
employees, declaring it was the best
possible offer that the company
could make.
Mr.. May last night thanked, the
union for its early acceptance of
the contract. The increase will raise
the wages of most drivers from 81 .25
an hour to $1.35 an hour and the
wages of mechanics from S1.35 to
|S1.45 an hour. The employees first
sought 50-cent~ fiat increase and
then offered to accept a 25-cent
increase.
The new contract will be retro
active to June 18.
The company declared the new
increase would cost the firm an ad-
dional $4,000 month, which will
run monthly losses to $4,000. Peti-
tions for fare increase on A., B. 6y w.
routes are pending before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

VA WILL REVISE CONTRACTS WITH
 VETERAN SCHOOLS

Veterans Administration today re- vised its contract requirements to provide firiner control over tuition rates charged by many private schools for training veterans under tho G. l. Bill.
 The changes, effective July l, 1948, are being made in an attempt to correct and eliminate abuses in tuition charges that were uncovered in recent months. With the new con- tract standards, VA hopes to make certain that the federal government is not paying for more than the vet eran actually receives during his training. Previously VAS policy was to pay the private profit schools the customary charges made to all students. These payments could not exceed the rate of $500 for full time course for an ordinary school year. Schools whose rates were higher had to justify their charges as fair and reasonable and negoti- ate contract with VA.
 ate a contract with VA.
 VA based this policy on the assump- established on competitive market before passage of the G. I. Bill, were fair and reasonable.
 Since the beginning of the G. l., education and training program on June 22, 1944, large number Of new profit schools were established. Enrollments in many of these schools consisted mainly of veterans. Dur ing the same period, other longer established schools, with predomi- nently veteran enrollments, increas- ed their charges
 VA had little control over the tuition rates charged by these schools. No customary charges existed on which fair and reason able tuition could be determined. As result, some of the schools set ex- cesSlve rates for the lnStruclioii offered the veterans.
 In many cases, the rates were several times higher than charges made for similar instruction ty older, well-established priyat C schools in the same area. Rates oft en were set as high as possible with out the need of justifying the char ges in a contract with VA. VAS new regulations require all these schools to show that their charges are not excessive for the services they are offering the vet rans they enroll.
 No change was made in VAS pol icy of accepting charges made by other private schools not affected by the new ruling.
