The administrator also said he
had planned to discharge DR..
Studebaker, but that "he beat me
to the gun" by resigning. He ex-
planned that he had reached the
conclusion several months earlier
that DR.. Studebaker's judgment
was not to be trusted and he
should be replaced. A Senate in
vestigating committee later aired
the charges in a public hearing.
DR.. Studebaker served ID years

Backward Areas 10 Be
Outlined Before u. n.
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. 1.-THE
United States will be ready early
next week to give the United Ma
tions a broad general picture of
President Truman's bold new
program" to aid backward areas.
This was disclosed today by an
American delegation spokesman.
He said Assistant Secretary of
State Willard L. Thorp now is in
Washington drafting speech
which w4ll amplify the program
for the Economic and Social
Council.
Informed quarters said no con-
crete program has yet taken shape.
But Mr.. Thorp definitely will give
the Council <"preliminary" out
line of what Mr.. Truman had
in mind.
Mr.. Thorp will address the
Council Monday on the world eco
nomic situation and will deliver
his speech on the Presidents pro-
gram later in the week when the
Council begins general debate on
the questions of economic devel-
opment and technical assistance
to backward areas.
The Council, meanwhile, was
scheduled to resume debate today
on the American proposal for an
investigation of slave labor in
Russia. A vote was expected yes
terday, but the Council became
involved in a long procedural
wrangle and did not get to the
slave labor issue.
The Security Council was called
for a 8 pm. session at the request
of Russia to consider the dea d.
locked question of selecting I, q
governor for the free territory OF
Trieste. This was expected to
produce another East-West clash.
Representatives of 20 Latin
American countries also were
scheduled to caucus in New York
City to discuss possible action
here rebukipg the trial OF JOSEF
Cardinal Mindszenty. Some OF
the Latin Americans want to bring
the question before the U. N. AS
sembly in April.

vETERANS' BOARD ASKS $2,155,0Oc
 ADDITIONAL FUNDS

A minimum of $2,155,000 in addi- tional funds is asked for activities of the Alaska World War II Veter- ans Board in the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs report submitted to the Legislature.
 Since the Board was created in lo46. the Veterans Revolving Fund has received s3,783,63Oo from the tax levied on gross sales, plus in- terest income amounting to Sl2l,- i O76. 20, making total amount of S3,9C4, ,7O6.21. Of this, Sl,855,000 is inc maximum amount available for loans.
 Bonuses have hean paid to 3,34e veterans in the total amount o1 sl.20O,510 The Board anticipates that an additional minimum ot S3CC.OO0 will be required to meet future demands for bonuses.
 The Office of the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs has provided the benefits of the Act to $500 eli gible veterans during the period Of it's existence. It is estimated that total of at least 6,700 veterans are eligible to receive bonuses or loans under the 1946 act.
 The commissioner has on hand applications for loans in the amount of S1 396, ,070, for which funds are not immediately available. A large percentage of the veterans would prefer to receive loans rather than bcnusee, and many of them would repay bonuses received in order to obtain loans.
 Due to the unique features of the Act and the lack of guiding pre- ceGcnt, the policies of the Board were not immediately established. During the two recent meetings Of the Board. past policies were care fully reviewed. The Commissioner has been directed to prepare pol icy manual.
 The Board will meet frequently, as often as every three months If necessary. The next year is re- garded as a crucial one.
 Mention is made in the report of the change in commissioners, al- though the former Commissioner, Norman Haley, is not mentioned by name The report says: "At the January 1949, meeting of the Board, it was discovered that the then Commissioner had, in some respects, failed or neglected to per- form his duties. This discovery led to his resignation and replacement" :"
 The report continues with the prav.ously announced plans for special audits and possible new procedures.
 Several changes are recommended in the wording of the Veterans Act.
 The report, with four enclosures balance sheet, loans outstanding, guaranteed loans and bonuses-is signed by Floyd Guertin, Commis- sicner c. Veterans Affairs.
 Members of the Board are John Hellcnthal of Anchorage, chair man; Mayor Bob Ellis of Ketchi- kan; Paul Solka, Fairbanks, and L.. Embert Demmert of Craig.
