isn't what it use to be-" says Wash
ington Post reporter Benz Price in
September Negro Digest, because
Southern Whites and Negroes alike
are laughing the hood-and-sheeters
out of existence.
Reporting on recent K1an capers
which were jeered into nothingness,
Price reports:
During the Khan parade through
the colored district of Gainesville,
Georgia, a Negro woman shouted
from her porch rocking chair, Send
us your sheets, White folks, we'll
wash 'em." All of the watchers
laughed and flock of Negro child
rem fell in behind the parade drumm-
ing loudly on tin pans"
AS an example of the growing
derision Whites are heaping on the
Khan, reporter Price relates this Co.
lumbia, S. G.. incident in the Negro
Digest story:
Grand Dragon, DR.. Samuel Green
told a crowd of Klansmen and cur
ious that unless white supremacy
is maintained, the day will come
when black buck Negro may ask
for your daughters hand in mar
riage.'
GA voice on the edge Of the crowd
drawled, well, she can always say
no, can't she?"
Price concludes:
after this a stink bomb was
thrown into the midst of the Klu
Kluxers and police broke up the
meeting"

Every VA regional ONCE wiz
have one Of the new Committees
on Waivers and Compromise.
These committees viii decide
whether to waive a veterans debt
to the Government resulting from
defauIted loans. The debt" would
be that portion Of the loan guar
antee which the VA had to pay
the lender after foreclosure.
The committees may decide TO
compromise" debts. too. 1t may
decide veterans should pay only
parts of them.
What happens If a veteran stops
payment on his CT home loan.
walks out of town and refuses to
make any settlement at all? That
would leave the VA holding the
bag to a maximum extent Of the
guaranteed portion of the loan.
Could the VA do anything about
it?
The chief attorney in the re-
gional Office having jurisdiction
would start to work on such a
case. He would check into the
veterans job, salary, other in
come, etc., and decide whether re-
payment would be possible. finan-
cially. II he decided it would be.
and the veteran still refused to
settle. the case probably would
end up In the courts. The vet
eran would be fighting the De-
partment Of Justice.
Also, any other governmental
payments (not just from the VA
to the veteran could be stopped
and used to liquidate the debt.
The regional committees will
have three members each, and the
DECISIONS must be unanimous.
.A higher authority will set in
Washington to decide all cases in
volving debts Of more than $2,500.
This three-man committee also
will hear appeals from veterans
whose requests for waivers have
been turned down by the regional
office committees.
So far most defaulted loans
have been business loans, even
though SO per cent Of all loans
made have been home loans. As
long as the economic climate re-
mains sunny, the VA Is not going
to have a great deal Of trouble
with defaulted home loans. I'm
told the few defaulted home loans
have gotten that way mainly be-
cause of domestic difficulties. OF
course. the VA salvages what 1t
can from a foreclosed mortgage.
either through resale by the
lender or by the VA itself.
But 1t is in the home loan field
that the VA may get In deep
financial trouble. If tomorrow's
real estate values sink and jobs
become scarce, the VA might end
UP hundreds of millions Of dol
lars In the hole. all Of which
theoretically would be owed to
VA by veterans but most Of which
would be waived by Waiver Com
mittees or be uncollectable.
More than 1.400, 900 ex-servicers
have gotten houses to live in with
CT Bill aid. The rate Of new
home loans has dropped sharply
from 1947's high. when $4,000
veterans got CT Bill home loans.
Last year the total was 350.000.
This year will probably see even
fewer veterans getting home loans.
It's getting tougher and tougher
to get q 4 per cent interest loan
today, and that is the maximum
chargeable under the GI Bill.
Still, the current rate Il 10000
