The pass defense looked mighty
weak in comparison. But it wasn't
that nearly so much as the ac-

New Law Makes Changes
In G.. |. Bill Training

In G. |. Bill Training
The veterans administration ha
announced important new changes
in G. |. bill training regulations
which are authorized by the Taft
league bill recently passed by
congress and signed by the presi.
dent.
The most important revision af-
fects veterans who wish to change
from one course to another and is
& liberalization of previous regula-
lions. According to the new law, a
veteran who has completed or dis
continued a G. |. bill course and
now wants another in either the
same or any other general field is
permitted to take the new curse
simply by applying for it, if his
conduct and progress was salts
factory and he has never before
changed from one general field to
another.
In the past, the v. A. required
all veterans changing to different
fields to show justification of need
for the change. If the justification
was not adequate they could re-
quest advisement and guidance so
that the V. A. could make a final
determination.
The new measure keeps current
V. A. procedures in force for vet
Grams who have already changed
from one major field to another
and now wish to change again.
They will be required to undergo
advisement and guidance before a
decision is made whether to APP
prove or disapprove the change.
If advisement and guidance cannot
be completed within As days the
