Representative league, Demo
crat of Texas. plans to start a
fight for drastic changes in the
schooling provision of the CT Bill
of Rights at the next session OF
Congress.
1T was wonderful dream" Mr.
league says of the training and
educational provisions of the bill
"but it just hasn't worked"
For the last Is months Mr.
league has headed a special
House committee which investi-
gated abuses in the veterans
training program.
Last Hearing in December.
The nine-man committee, set
up in September 1850, will hold
the last of its field hearings early
in December, at San Diego, Calf
Then it will be ready to make its
final report.
Afterward Mr.. league will
await a favorable political climate
in which to begin pushing a bill
to revise the program which sc
far has cost the taxpayers $l4
billion.
A Purple Heart veteran of
World War II. Mr.. league wants
to see the Universal Military
Training (UMT) program put into
operation ~and the Korean war
ended before Congress tackles the
revision job.
Then the lawmakers will have
a better line on the number of vet
erans who would quality for the
new program. And once UNIT is in
focus. they will have an idea about
what the veteran load of the fu-
ture will amount to.
Shortcomings Listed.
A review of the committees
hearing record shortcomings in
the veterans training programs
following World War II shows eyi-
dence that:
VA and State education officials
fell down on the job of requiring
private schools to meet and keep
up the reasonable standards:
sometimes the failure resulted
from connivance between officials
and school operators;
There were cases where officials
received financial gain from
fraudulent operations;
In some places schools were
operated under the bounty of the
Government but didn't require
the veterans to attend classes;
Sometimes the schools were ap-
proved officially by VA employees
who then quit their Government
Jobs and became operators under
profitable contracts.
Changes Recommended.
Here are some of Mr.. leagues
proposals for the future:
l. Limit the benefits to funds
for the payment Of tuition, the
purchase of books and supplies,
and minor amount for personal
expenses, requiring the veteran,
himself. to pay part of his way.
2. Eligible veterans would nav
their bills personally. thus doing
away with the need for the
Veterans Administration to have
contracts with schools.
3. The program would be re-

Cause Of Arsenal Fire
Which Killed II in
Copenhagen Sought
BY the Assoeiated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Nov
24.-Military court investigator,
today probed in secret the cause
OF a fire and explosion thai
wrecked Denmark's main navy
yard last night and killed II men
A blackout on news concerning
the probe led to speculation thai
sabotage was involved. 1t was the
nations worst peace time disas-
ter.
The navy's arsenal became g
charred tangle of death ano
wreckage after a fire in gas tank
touched off a chain reaction OF
explosions in 10 mines which. an
authoritative naval source said
had just arrived from the United
States.
Vice Admiral Aage H. Vedel
the Danish navy's commander-in
chief. said the primers were not
in the mines and they should
consequently, have been safe from
detonation. There is no reason
SO far to believe sabotage caused
the disaster, he said. but the pos
sibility cannot be excluded.
King Visits Scene.
A navy public relations officer
said it is doubtful whether the
cause will ever be determined be-
cause nothing but rubble is left
of the yard, situated in the GEN.
ter of Copenhagen.
The blast killed IA Copenhagen
firemen, two naval officers and a
member of the navy'S fire squad.
Thirty-four flremen and marines
were injured seriously. Fifty per-
sons were treated for minor in
juries.
Unofficial estimates of the dam
age ran as high as $14 million.
King Frederick, nominal COM
mander IN chief OF the navy, visited
the disaster scene today and heard
witnesses tell of the disaster.
Only One Fireman Escapes.
The blast set off hundreds of
burglar alarms in Copenhagen and
startled persons out of their beds
as far away as Sweden, 80 miles
across the straits.
Firemen who first were called to
battle the gasoline fire were
caught by the blasts and only one
of them escaped. The other % are
either dead or in the hospital.
Copenhagen Fire Chief P. Wind
Ing said that some firemen's lives
could have been saved if navy au-
thorities had informed the fire in
spector that explosives were stored
next to the burning building. Be-
cause of naval security regula-
tions. the fire squad is not told
where or how explosives are stored
IN the naval yard.

Soldiers Undivorced First Wife
Loses Widow Claim to Third

A Baltimore Woman yesterday
was proclaimed the widow of a
dead soldier and entitled to his
$4,000 CT insurance policy. despite
the claim of his first wife, from
whom he never got a divorce.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals returned this decision favor
ing Mrs. Bessie NJ. Warner, who
became Sergt. Charles Warmers
third wife in 1885. nearly 80 years
after his first, and undissolved
marriage. Mr.. Warner died ir
1945.
The first wife in the case was
Mrs. Mary j. Harsley. 70, of Hull
England. She married Sergt
Warner in England in 1896, only
to have him leave her for good
the next year to join the British
Army.
Mrs. Harsley never saw him
again and last heard from him ir
1898. Presuming him dead, she
ultimately remarked in 1888. Hel
second husband, Robert Harsley
died in 1912.
AS for Sergt. Warmers activities.
he served in the American Expe-
dictionary Force in World War ]
and, somewhere along the line,
took a second wife. Jean Warner.
This one died in 1884 while the
sergeant was stationed at Fort
George G. Meade. They had a

son who still survives. He then
married Mrs. Bessie Warner.
The first Mrs. Warner contend
ed she was the dead mans legal
widow, since her separation from
the sergeant never was legalized
by suit for divorce or annulment
Appeals Judge Henry w. Edger-
ton reasoned this way for the
unanimous court:
"By claiming to be the widow
Mrs. Harsley is claiming in effect
that the marriages between the
insured and Jean Warner. between
the insured and Bessie Warner
and between Mrs. Harsley herself
and Harsley, were bigamous. and
that the son of the insured and
Jean Warner is illegitimate.
'The principles we are enforcing
avoid such results in many cases."

LOUISVILLE. KY, Mar. g.
Vanderbilt crumbled Kentucky's
basketball castle tonight in spec
tacular upset, 61-57, in the finals
of the Southeastern Conference
tournament.
according to radio reports of
the game, the championship
trophy had already been sent to
the engravers with instructions
to inscribe Kentucky's name on
the award)
The Commodores thus reversed
two one-sided losses to the Ma
tion's No. / basketball power in
one of this seasons prime upset.
They had to tear down one 10
point Kentucky lead in the second
half.
Vandy put the brakes to Ken
tucky's fast break and had the
Wildcats at a loss to solve a shift
ing defense.
The Commodores won their first
Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment, a price that didn't, how
ever, carry with it the SEC title.
Vandy wrapped knots in the
Wildcats usually prolific scoring
machine and came through with
a sharp attack of it's own to lead
much of the way and always come
back when the KentuckianS got
on top.
Two of Kentucky's seasonal
wins were over Vandy, one by
74-49 at Nashville and one by 80
81 week ago tonight at Lexing-
ton.
The Kentucky record now is
27-2.
Bob Smith and Gene South
wood led the well-balanced Vandy
attack. Only Bill Spivey with 81
and Shelby Linville with 13 scored
in double figures for Kentucky.

finals by defeating Louisiana State,
