vertise its $2.6 million sewer bond
issue for sale, while an engineering
firm begins a study to determine
whether contractors bids received
yesterday can be reduced to come

A double-charge system OF tut
ton and fees that enabled the
University of Maryland to make
So million through the G1 educa-
Ition program will be aired at open
hearings by a House committee as
"a result of General Accounting Of
flee disclosures.
Representative league, Demo-
Icrat, of Texas, chairman OF the
committee studying the $12 billion
program that expires today, iden-
titled the University of Maryland
as the institution discussed. but
mot named in a GAO report.
THE report emphasized that the
charge system had been recog-
Inized and approved by the Vet
IeranS' Administration.
Four GAO Witnesses.
The committee heard testimony
by four GAO officials yesterday on
a large number of questionable
procedures" or overpayments at
colleges, including Virginia Mill
tary Institute. The survey report
was disclosed in considerable de-
tail, but copies were not available
for publication at the time.
1--WE are going to hold hearings
within the next two weeks to look
thoroughly into the participation
by colleges and universities in the
CT program" Mr.. league said to-
day. THAT is why we did not
have the witnesses name the Uni
Iversity of Maryland or any other
institution except a few such as
V. M. I. that came out yesterday
in questioning on particular
points" ...
In revealing that the University
of Maryland was the institution
referred to in the GAO report
under the general heading Uni
versity Collects Double Tuition,
Mr.. league said the committee
knows nothing more than it read
i'm the report. Members expect
to learn more at the public hear
ings, he added.
According to the report, the
university made the 81 million
between 1916 and 1949 through a
fixed charge and credit-hour fee
arrangement applying to veterans
studying there under the CT pro-
gram.
The university billed the Veter-
ans Administration more fol
veterans than it charged non
veterans who were not residents
of Maryland, the report stated
It's tuition charge for Maryland
veterans also was higher than fol
Maryland non-veterans, the re-
port noted.
Examination of records al
other land-grant colleges failed
to disclose the inclusion of any
fee in the nature of the fixec
charge here involved" the report
declared.
The system was variation oi
practice found at many othel
institutions surveyed whereby
nonresident tuition rates were in.
creased to amounts in excess oi
fair and reasonable charges basec
on cost of teaching personnel anc
supplies for instruction, the re.
port explained.
Two Letters From DR.. Byrd.
The reported duplication" wa,
recognized at the time. The pres.
ent report said the Veterans Ad.
ministration approved the system
on the ground that "the fixec
charge neither took the place o1

nor performed a function normal
lily attributable to tuition"
The report left no doubt that
GAO did not favor the arrange
ment. The report. however, con-
tanned no specific conclusions or
recommendations on the matter.
In the report were two letters
written in 1947 by President H. C.
Byrd of Maryland University re-
ferring to university finances and
tuition developments. The first
letter, dated June 20, 1947, to
the State Board of Public Works,
stated:
"The reason for our ability to
finance without cost to the State
is the favorable outcome of our
negotiations with the Federal
Government in regard to charges
the university might make to
Veterans Administration students
and the ability of the athletic
board to provide further funds. -
The second letter, dated Au-
gust 27 of that year. to the Vet
Grams Administration, requested
increased tuition charges.
The GAO pointed out to the
committee that at the time the
second letter cited the need for
additional tuition rates, the uni
Iversity was in sufficiently strong
position financially to go forward
with part of it's long-range build
ing program which included a
swimming pool, chapel, laboratory
and other facilities.
Byrd Defends Procedure.
DR.. Byrd today defended the
tuition and credit hour charges to
veterans as having been necessary
to meet educational costs.
Every charge for Veterans Ad-
ministration students was strictly
on the basis of the law and the
regulations of VA" he declared
I'VE did not do anything i'm
proper or illegal. AS a matter oi
fact the actual cost per student
was about $440 whereas the Uni
versity Of Maryland charged only
about $370 to VA. Moreover, many
schools in this area received pay
lment at the rate of $500. I dom
see how any one can say we made
money that way"
The GAO survey report, which
covered several hundred colleges
and training schools in seven
States, was sent recently to the
head of each institution men.

committee has not yet received
a reply from DR.. Byrd, committee

salary payments and agency ex-
penses during August.
Although salaries will be paid
on time, the delay in the final en-
actment of the various appropria-
tions bills may work hardships on
some agencies.
This is because the stop-gap
measure gives the agencies the
monthly amount of money based
on their last years appropriation.
But some agencies are due to
have their 1852 funds reduced,
with the result they may be forced
to absorb the 1852 reduction over
