Druftees' and dVeteruns' Guide
BY Moi. Thomos M. Nioi-

At the age of IS, this pension
would rise to $50 month.
2. Raise the monthly pension
for total and permanent non
service-connected disability to 500
month. ct is now $72) Per-
manent and total disability is now
the only basis on which a veteran
can get pension for non service
connected disability.
3. Provide pensions to veterans
with permanent non-service- con-
nected disabilities less than total
in degree. AS soon as a veteran
got a disability (no matter how
he got it, of Is per cent, and the
VA considered it permanent, he
would start drawing $32 for life.
At so per cent, the rate would be
$50 and at IS per cent, it would
be $72.
For the record, almost every
member of the House Veterans
Committee favors this legislation.
AS one member told me privately,
Evening star., 1949-02-15

The House Veterans Committee
is thinking very seriously about
the American Legions 80 at 60
pension plan.
Possibly by the time this column
reaches print that bill will have
been favorably reported from the
committee to the floor of the
House.
Anyway, you'll be reading about
it in the papers. So here Is ar
A-B-C of the bill and a calcu-
lated guess. The guess is that
the bill will not become law this
session, even though an outside
chance exists for it's passing the
House.
The bill would do three main
things:
l. Pay an across-the- board pen
sion, regardless of disability or
need, to every war veteran CWorld
War I and World War III who
reaches the age of so, at the rate
of $50 a month for five years.

There is no political reason I car
think of for not supporting it..
But he added: IF confidential
poll were taken of all members o1
the committee I think the result
would be vote against the bill
1t is a fact. though, that Demo
cratic Chairman John Rankin ano
Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, rank
ing Republican on the committee
are very strong for the bill, and
Mr.. Rankin is an extremely ag-
gressive chairman in the view OF
most observers.
So let's assume the bill is sent
to the House floor, or a watered
down version of it. Cor instance

MARSHALL'S GREAT RECORD

The resignation of Secretary of State George
]C Marshall removes a public official who has
won general approval by his eminent services
Ito the nation.
AS Chief of Staff during the great war,
General Marshall in the opinion of competent
critics, made major contribution to the sue
cess of American arms. He is generally con-
|sidered one of the chief architects of military
Victory.
Subsequently, when asked to assume the
onerous duties of the State Department. the
General did not refuse. He entered an area
of activity and subjected himself to partisan
criticism which was not long in arriving Prob
ably, he suffered somewhat in the general es-
TEEN through his connection with a partisan
position.
We also wish to call attention to the fact
that General Marshall represents the "brass
hats" who were vigorously criticised by
}columnists and radio commentators at the
!conclusion of the war He is a worthy repre-
sentative of a group of men whose experience,
training and intelligence made possible the
success of American belligerency. For their
great contribution to the welfare of their nation
and the protection of this Republic, they were
malinged and denounced by publicity hunting
scrbblers and orators
The General, in his Illness is entitled to
the pleasures of retirement and it should COM
fort him to know if he needs assurance, that
he has large place in the esteem, affection and
respect of the people of this country.

EARTH SATELLITE TO PROTECT u. S.

In the annual report of Secretary of Defense
James V. Forrestal is vague reference to a
space-based project Mr.. Forrestal referred to
the "earth satellite vehicle program which is
being carried out independently by each mill
tary SERVICE" and says that this was assigned
ito the committee on guided missiles'
Back of the vague reference is the theory
that some possibility exists of creating a tiny
satellite somewhere between the earth and the
moon but beyond the pull Of gravity. Presum-
ably, such space platform could be used for
the guidance launching of atomic warhead
rockets which, in the opinion of enthusiastic
scientific men, might enable the nation possess
ing it to control the earth.
We do not know the details of the fantastic
speculation butt in the course of centuries, it
may come about. In the meantime, the bulk of
the nations money will be spent upon more
conservative plans for offense and defense.
The whole story reminds us of the observation
made in Washington, in connection with the
demands of the services for funds, that there
are military men who would, if they could
fortify the moon.

THE UPSWING IN OFFSPRING

American education faces two facts of
related Importance: a teacher shortage and a
high birth rate
There are $4,000 more teachers now than
year ago. There are over 100000 more en-
rollments this year than last If each new
teacher were given class of about SO students,
there would be just enough new teachers to
take care of all the new enrollments. But this
would do nothing to better the existing situa-
tion of overcrowded classes, substandard teach
ers inadequate facilities, and grossly uneven
educational opportunities
A slightly better level of pay, aroused pub
lie interest, and the prospect of federal aid
to education are believed to have raised teacher
morale appreciably. But more college gradu-
ates need to be kindled to the satisfying posi-
bilites of teaching as life work if the school
system is to cope with the high birth rate.
Which will hit the schools of tomorrow
first: greatly enlarged support or greatly e1,-
larged enrollments Will the upswing in off
spring be matched by devotion to their needs Z?

A GOOD RESOLUTION

A few weeks ago the New Year was greeted
throughout the nation with prayer and song
and dance. We said goodbye to 948, extended
changed mutual expressions of hope with our
friends that the New Year would prove happy
and prosperous
At the same time, the great majority of
Americans gave some thought to New Year
resolutions Most of us might even have kept
some of them, right up to this "late" date. But
if we did not, there still is chance to redeem
ourselves right now.
There is one resolution every man, woman
and child should make and keep. 1t is an easy
It entails little or no sacrifice. It will give
you a grand feeling-but more important it
will help bring back to health youngsters you
may know, or have heard of, or perhaps never
even knew existed.
That resolution is simply to: JOIN THE
MARCH OF DIMES, JANUARY 14-31." The
dimes and dollars given to the 1949 appeal of
the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
will enable that organization to rebuild chap
ter funds exhausted during last years polio
epidemics-whch were comparable to those
of 1916, worst in history.
You will never miss the dime or dollar you
contribute. Resolve now to give generously to
the MARCH OF DIMES. You may be sure you
will write the score for song of brighter
future. Yes these polio-stricken children may
even be able to dance again . q. because YOU
helped.

is YOUTH TOO AMBITIOUS ?

Modern boys and girls are too ambitious
in their rush to become leaders in the fields of
business and the professions, declares Roland
L. Stratford director of an employment coun-
selling service designed to aid boys and girls
to get proper start in the business world.
Mr.. Stratford says that the youngsters are
and work their way up. The revelation that
they cannot earn $4,000 year one month
after graduation from high school "is often a
rude shock to modern teen-agers.
The counsellor reports, however, that once
the teen-ager is convinced of the proper course
to follow in connection with employment, he
becomes ready to dig in clerk, a messen-
ger, stenographer or office-boy and "work
his way up in the American tradition.'
The "ambiton' of teen-ager is largely
the product of modern education and an en-
vironment that includes many examples of
from rags to riches," in easy lessons It is no
wonder that many average boys and girls get
the idea that money can be made in bales,
overnight.
The success tag which most communities
put upon the man who makes big money in a
short time, without any discriminating judg-
ment as to the methods involved, is enough to
make the average teen-ager believe that the
volume of cash is almost everything that counts.
This explains, in part, the failure of some teen
ayers to appreciate the value of character in
inexperience, they sometimes conclude that the
success stories are the rule and not the excep-
ton in the lives of human beings
