Flight Training Permitted
Under Chances in GI Bill

Veterans now may take flight
training under the CT Bill Of
Rights without necessarily sub
mitting to the Veterans Admin
istration complete justification
that the course will be taken in
connection with their present or
contemplated occupation, it was
announced today.
The VA said this change in the
CT Bill of Rights is contained in
the appropriations act which be-
came law on August "a.
Instead of complete justifica-
ton, q veteran planning to take
flight training now may submit a
certificate In the form of an af-
fidavit signed by him and cor
roborating affidavits by two COM
petent disinterested persons show
ing that the flight training will
be useful to him in connection
with earning livelihood, the VA
said. In the absence of substan-
tial evidence to the contrary, the
VA will accept the affidavits as
constituting compliance with the
law.

ories. So it will have. to be done
now, here on the banks of the
Congo.
It is my studied opinion that
the British Empire started to dis
integrate, slowly, but surely, the
first time an Englishman was
offered a cup of tea, accepted it,
consumed it and liked it.
Many Man Hours Lost.
Since that fateful day the num-
ber of hours spent by English
men and their colonists drinking
tea must be incalculable. Right
now, when England has it's back
souarely against the economic
wall, she calls for chair, props
1t against the wall, sits down and
drinks a cup of tea.
This doesn't happen once day,
or twice a day; it happens four,
five and six times a day. Figure
the man-hours lost for yourself
it's too much for me and my
f1unked fifth grade arithmetic.
I thought they really drank tea
in England, but wait until you see
the English in South Africa hit
the Tetley, the Upton and the
Salada. Go to bank to cash
check and the cashiers are out to
tea. Go to the railway station to
buy a ticket and the ticket sellers
are out to tea. Go to the Tourist
Bureau for information and If you

happen to like tea. but a bar
rel q day is enough. In South
Africa three barrels day is nor
NAL consumption.
What tea means to these people
was brought home completely to
me during my visit to the Kruger
Wild Game Reserve. We had an
English guide and an English
driver. Our daily schedule was
built around tea.
Tea, Tea and More Tea.
Up at daybreak-a pot OF tea.
Shave, wash face-more tea.
Before leaving gates OF rest
camp-one more cup of tea.
The payon came when we over
heard our two guides talking
about the forthcoming weekend
With Monday a holiday. the park
was expected to have its biggest
crowd in history.
They were saying to each other
how lucky we were to have fin
ished our visit before the mob de-
scended. We took it for granted
that they meant the big crowd
would make the roads dusty, scare
the animals away, and generally
make a Coney Island of the place.
That isn't what they meant at
all
The final word that we over
heard was this: with thousands
of people here over the weekend,
it might be quite impossible to get
q proper cup of tea when one
wanted one"

This Changing World
West Urged to Keep Arms Ready Near
Yusoslavia to Aid Tito Against Attack
Harry Honon

piles of arms. ammunition and
medical supplies should be on
hand and within easy reach Of
Yugoslavia. Unlike World War II,
we and the British now have
fleet in the Mediterranean which
could bring those supplies un-
hampered to Eastern Adriatic
ports. Submarines could be used
if necessary.
Moreover, Italy, which in World
War II was Hitler's ally. now is
on the side of the Western de-
mocracies, and considerable
quantity of supplies could reach
Yugoslavia by land from that
country.
The creation of such stockpiles
is considered 8 must" and while
there is no official information as
to whether anything has been
done yet, it is believed that the
suggestions of military men are
not falling on deaf ears.
There is no question that Mos
COW is embarrassed and has been
placed in a quandary by the Bel
grade government. If it surren-
ders, as suggested by the White
House at last Thursdays press
conference, its empire will fall to
pieces.
Could Lose Satellites.
Russia's relaxation Of the fight
against Tito would have such re-
percussions in other satellite
countries that she would lose them
all. The great plans for world
domination laid SO carefully by
Prime Minister Stain and the
Politburo would come to an end.
1t is highly doubtful that dicta-
torship can give up without a
cruahing military defeat.
On the other hand. military men
in Moscow who have helped Or
ganize Tito's armies as the spear
head of Red power in southeastern
Europe know that the war of
nerves and a mere show of force
will not be sufficient to suppress
the Yugoslav dictator.
Yugoslavia has 80 first-line
combat divisions and at least a
similar number in reserve. The
equipment of the active divisions
is mostly CzechoSlovakian, that Is
tn saw manufactured to Russian
standards. According to available
information, Tito has enough sup
plies to resist a full-scale invasion
for at least four months.
The reserve divisions are armed
with what now may be described
as obsolescent American equip
ment given Tito during the war
by lend-lease. To this were added
quantities of similar equipment
handed over to him by Moscow at
the end of the war. Ammunition
and requirements for this type Of
equipment can be supplied from
our stockpiles in this country and
n Europe.
Thus, in the first four months
of an aggression by Soviet Russia
we can count on Tito putting up
good resistance. What the situa-
ton will be later nobody dares to
predict. But it is highly unlikely
that the conflict once started will
remain localized.

other phase of the cold war.
Many realistic observers in
Washington and other Wastern
capitals, who do not speak for
the public and are not concerned
with political reactions of an elec-
torate, take a much more serious
view of the matter. They seem
to be convinced that after Mos
COW has played its last cards in
Yugoslavia-which will be de-
| termined attempt to eliminate
Marshal Tito by assassination
there will be no other course open
for Moscow but military aggres-
sion.
1t is because of this strong
belief in men who are dealing
with realities that the Western
nations are being urged no" to
build up stockpiles of arms, medi-
cal supplies and other war es-
sentials In areas close to Yugo-
slavia-Malta, for instance.
There is stiN a good deal OF
suspicion about Tito in some po-
litical quarters. Hence it is advised
that we keep near Yugoslavia
everything he may need, but that
we not hand over to him pre-
maturely the means he will need
to resist an eventual Red on
slaught.
Hitler Attack Recalled.
It is recalled in these military
quarters that the Yugoslav army's
resistance was quickly overcome
by the Nazi legions, not only be-
cause of betrayal by Croatian and
Slovene elements who diSliked the
government of Prince Paul, but
also because the Yugoslav army
had on hand only very scant sup
plies.
Up to the time of Hitler's attack
Yugoslav obtained its military
equipment from Germany. The
Nazis very carefully gave the
Yugoslavs enough equipment and
ammunition for a few weeks of
war. When the Nazis finally at
tackled, President Roosevelt prom
ised to rush planes and other
needed war equipment, but the
distance was so great that before
anything could be shipped Yugo-
slavia had been crushed.
This Western military men say,
must not happen again. Stock

close it If he has any "in," no mat
ter how tenuous. with Washing
ton officials. The burden Of proof
now rests with Senator Mccarthy.
It is his baby and not the COM
mittee's. Mr.. Rogers knows all
about Costello from old New York
experience; he can exercise an ex-
perienced imagination in the mat
ter, but as yet he is noticeably not
pursuing the Mccarthy line Of
questioning.
Senator Mccarthy has q good

Nothing will succeed like success,
but If his present headlines col
lapse, he will be correspondingly
denoted as a serious legislator by
Washington opinion.
Chairman Hooey is also under
stood to have taken a dim view Of
another colleague. Senator Mundt.
A graduate Of the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
Senator Mundt showed too much
of its impatience with waiting for
due process to suit the chairman.
It was, of course, natural for
opposition members Of the COM
mittee to press for disclosures af-
fecting the White House SO nearly.
Actually, the Democrats at no
point fought back effectively.
Gen. Vaughan brought personal
counsel to the hearing who. to
put it kindly, seemed extremely
confused. Evidence exists which
would have told in the generals
favor, such as the thousands Of
passports secured by businessmen
who sought to go abroad when the
Vaughan friends did. No Demo-
cratic big shots reared their heads
to watch the Vaughan interests at
the hearings.
This was probably deliberate.
Gen. Vaughan was allowed to
muddle through in keeping with
the general administration defense
that he is just such muddler.

FORTY STUDENTS,
 TEACHERS BROKE,
 IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, Aug. 29-Rl-Forty students and teachers, mostly from Illinois, found themselves stranded at least for the night-when they landed here last night enroute home from European tour
 The group. leaving Chicago June 27 for a round trip to Amsterdam Holland, said they had contracted for a tour with Alaska Airlines, a non-scheduled airline company.
 The line got them to Amsterdam and made arrangements with an other line to return them to New York.
 But an official of the Alaska line in Seattle said the group is going to have to make it back to Chicago on it's own.
 Les Greening, Sales Manager of the line, said it's contract with the group expired because of a CAB. order making the line stop its serv- ice pending hearing of charges of safety violations,
 Greening said Alaska Airlines made arrangements with another line to bring the group to America and from there on, the students would have to proceed alone.
 The students and teachers ar rived at the New York International Airport last night on Seaboard and Western Airlines plane. The Seaboard is not authorized to fly from New York to Chicago.
 Some students said they had telephoned Chicago travel agency last night and had been assured arrangements were being made for getting them back to Chicago today
 Many of the students said they didn't have enough money with them even to eat. They pooled their cash and got coffee and sand wiches at an airport restaurant last night.

WALLGREN TO GET
 FEDERAL POSITION

SEATTLE, Aug. 29-tR-Ex-Gov- ernor Mon c. Wallgren told King County Democratic picnic gathering yesterday he plans to return to Washington, DC, within month possibly to take a Federal posi- tion."
 He did not elaborate, hut friends said he may yet head the Na- tional Security Resources Board. They said Wallgren believes Presi- dent Truman may be able to ap- point him without Senate confir- nation under the new reorganiza- ton act recently approved by Con- gress.
 Wallgren's appointment to the post earlier this year was stymied by refusal of a Senate committee to report the matter out to the Senate floor.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-lR- Senator Tydings (D-Md) said to- day that only through a recess appointment could Mon c. Wall gren become chairman of the Na- tional Security Resources Board without Senate confirmation.
 A report from Seattle, Wash, said Wallgren plans to return here in about a month.
 Friends of his there said the former Washington Senator and Governor believes President Tru- man may yet appoint him to the key defense post without necessity of Senate confirmation They suggested this could be done un- der a new reorganization act passed by Congress.
 Tydings, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, gave his opinion when asked about this report.
 He told reporter the revision of the notification act, which set up the defense advisory board, retain ed a provision requiring Senate confirmation for the board chair man.
