Israel and the world have lost
an outstanding soil scientist and
archeologist with the death at the
age Of 81 of DR.. A. Reifenberg,
Professor of Soil Science at the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
and former Dean of the Univer-
sity's Faculty of Science.
Associated with the University
since 1924, a full year before it
was officially opened, Professor
Reifenberg was influential in its
growth and development as the
only university in Israel. His
studies of soil and water, particu-
larly in the Negev, have served
to bring Israel closer to a solution
of its pressing agricultural prob
lens.
Professor Reifenberg was
equally famous for his discoveries
of important archaeological sites in
Palestine and for his authorita-
tive writings on ancient coins and
seals.
In the field of archaeology, Pro-
lessor Reifenberg was the author
of three outstanding books: can

Segregation Bar
Is Broken Down

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Ia = A
New Orleans federal district court
has ruled that Louisiana State Uni
versity must admit qualified Ne
groes to its combined arts and
sciences and law courses.
Judge J. Sicily Wright pointed
out in his opinion that the court
has already issued injunctions on
three other occasions against LSU
requiring the admission of Negroes
to the schools of Law and Medicine
and the Graduate School.
The newest opinion was issued in
case in which A. 2. Threaud, Jr.,
17-year-old New Orleans Negro
sought admission to the combined
arts and sciences and law courses.
Threaud maintained that he
could not get a course equal to
LSU's at Southern University, Lou
isiana's Negro school.
Wright held that it sis the opin-
ion that the denial of admission of
the plaintiff to the junior division
of LSU :, solely because of his
race, and color denies a right guar
anteed to the plaintiff under the
14th amendment"

Veterans
and
Druftees
By Maj. Thomos M. Mol

This week the fabulous CT
bill for World War II veterans
heads into its ninth year, but it's
no longer running anywhere near
full throttle.
OF the three major benefits in
the bill, one has another four
years to go before it runs out,
one is slowly fading and the third
already has faded into the past.
The CT loan program is still
operating and has another four
years to go. The program was
set up to encourage bankers and
other lenders to put up money a
veteran could borrow to buy or
improve a home, business or
farm. It does so by guaran-
teeing lenders they won't lose
money If the veteran defaults
on the loan.
Loan Losses Small.
So far about one out Of every
four World War II veterans has
used the GI loan benefit in one
way or another. Only eight
tenths Of l per cent Of all
loans were defaulted and had to
be made good by the Veterans
Administration.
Despite difficulties in getting
loan money in some parts of the
United States, last month the VA
was asked by lenders to approve
guarantees on over $4,000 home
loans.
The education and training
program, which stopped for most
veterans two years ago, still has
about $4,000 men in training.
The purpose Of the training pro-
gram was to give financial help
to servicemen who wanted to go
to school-almost any kind
when they got out of service.
Under it the veteran gets tuition
and living allowances ranging
from $75 to $120 a month.
Almost half the World War II
veterans have used this benefit
and spent an average of 18
months in training.
Average Vet Found Work.
The third benefit was the re-,
adjustment allowance program,
which for all intents and pur-
poses halted four years ago. The
program provided that an I'M
employed veteran would be able
to draw $40 week for So weeks
from the Government. The idea
was to provide a financial
cushion for men just getting out
of service who found it impossi-
BILE to latch onto a job imme-
diately.
Although most veterans were
eligible for full period of the al
lowance, only one in 10 actually
used it that long. The average
veteran went to work after being
on the rolls for only a month
and a half.
OF the some Is million World
War II veterans, about 100000
nave obtained CT loans for
homes. About 100000 have
taken some form of education or
training. Nine million drew re-
adjustment allowances.
