and Public Law 16 at the end of
1949 was only two percent be-
low the number enrolled year
ago, and percent under the all
time peak at the end of 1947.
One million veterans started
training for the first time under
the two laws during 1949-a 20
percent drop from the 1,250,000
who entered initially during
1943.
But 2,394,0O0 veterans who
previously had had CT Bill and
Public Law Is training re-enter-
ed the two programs d u r i n 6
1949. This total represented only
a slight decline from the 1948
figure of 2,485,000. Re-entries,
VA explained, include veterans
who in the past had dropped out
of training for any number of
reasons; for vacations, to find
jobs, because t h e y completed
courses and so on.
The 2,474,000 veterans enroll
ed under the two laws on De-
cember 81, 1949, compares with
2,533, 900 in training on Decem-
Der 81, 1948, and 100000 on
December 81, 1947.
One Of the chief reasons that
1949 enrollments have remained
at high levels, VA explained,
is that a record number of vet
eran stduents are taking CT Bill
courses In schools below the col
lege level--mailly trade and in
dustrial schools.
Enrollments in below-college
schools under the CT Bill reach
ed the all-time high of $4,000
on December 81, 1949. This fig
ure is 80 percent above the $751;
900 total reached a year earlier,
and "a percent over the 1947
figure of $4,000.
The number of disabled vet
erans taking P ubl &c Law Is
courses in schools below college
level, on the other hand, has
been decreasing. The total drop
ped from $4,000 at the end of
December, 1948, to $1,000 year
later.
The trend of enrollments in
colleges and universities and in
the on-the-job training courses
under the two laws also has been
downward, VIII i e institutional
on-f m training enrollments
under the CT Bill and Public
Law 16 have been going up.
The million veterans who be-
gan training at Government ex-
pense for the first time in 1949 |
included $4,000 CT Bill enroll 1
ees and 81 900 disabled veterans
who started under Public Law
16. This total, the lowest in the !
history of the veterans training
laws, is so percent under the
1916 peak of 2,553,000.
In past years, VA said, large
numbers of newcomers to the
81 Bill and Public Law Is pro-
grams went into colleges and
The trend has been
shifting, however, and now a
greater proportion of those en-
,ering training for the first time
are going to schools below the
college level.
Other year-end statistics of
VA disclosed the ( o l. o W n &

HOAX OE HISTORY? MUSEUM SANDSTONE COULD BE EITHER

Latest contribution to the ter ritorial museum at Juneau is a mystery stone, found by a Geo. logical Survey party last sum- mer, at a point about 100 miles inland from Point Lay in the far north. The stone, a smooth flat piece of sandstone about half an inch thick and nine by twelve inches in size, has the names "Weir" and Ward" and the date 1842 scratched on it's surface.
 This apparently is far earlier than any white men were thought to have been in this area of Alas ka. It pre-dates the period of Russian exploration along the Yukon, which is the earliest rec ord of white mans entrance into the interior lands of the north.
 Edward Keithahn, curator of the museum, believes the words are names, possibly of members of a whaling crew whose ship was frozen in on the Utokok Riv- CT. However the theory is weak ened by the fact that the letter ing is apparently the work of educated men, who were not common in whaling crews of that period.

The Government was delivering
a virtual ultimatum to the auto
mobile industry today that price
ceilings will be imposed unless the
manufacturers control car prices
voluntarily.
This warning was to be given
the auto makers in a meeting here
by Alan Valentine, stabilization
director, and Price Director
Michael v. Di Sale. Represen-
tatives of 10 producing companies
were taking part in the conference
In which the entire industry price
situation will be reviewed.
General Motors and Ford al
ready have announced price in
creases ranging from five to seven
per cent on all 1851 models. The
two manufacturers refused Mr..
Valentines request to suspend"
the increase, saying higher prices
were made necessary by soaring
materials and labor costs. The
eight other companies so far have
not boosted prices.
Sterilization officials were max
ing no secret of the fact that the
auto industry will be among the
first to be placed under control un-
less the manufacturers act on
their own to hold down prices.
Ceilings Reported Prepared.
1t was reported on good au-
thority that price ceilings already
are being prepared. including an
order which would roll back the
prices of GIN and Ford models
to the point where they were be-
fore the recent price rise.
Meanwhile, two Republican
Senators called on Mr.. Valen-
tine to explain why he had asked
GIN and Ford to suspend price
increases without making a SIM
liar request OF the steel industry
Steel prices recently were raised
an average of So a ton, and the
auto makers cited that cost rise
as one reason for raising their
prices.
Senators Capehart of Indiana
and Bricker Of Ohio termed 1t in
consistent for the stabilization Of
flee to seek no voluntary steel
price cut and yet expect GIN and
Ford to hold down their prices.
Suggests Congress Inquiry.
"In view of that" Senator
Bricker said, II think Congress
ought to find out why there was
no request for the cancellation of
the steel price increases. Maybe
there was some justification for
not making the request, but on the
face OF it it looks inconsistent"
Sterilization officials were in
constant touch with big steel pro-
ducers before the industry raised
its prices, while at the same time
granted wage increases averaging
about II per cent to its employees.
Most officials unofficially termed
the steel price boosts as reason
able"
Senator Capehart said both GIN
and Ford recently gave wage in
creases, and that the wage factor
therefore was just as much in the
picture there as it was in the case
Of steel.
