Double Header
From Tuskegee

RUSTON, La. Especially - The
Grambling Tigers used full-scale
mass-production to lombard Tus-
kegee twice here Wednesday, 14-6
and 12-4, in a wild daylight dou-
bleheader.
Grambling collected 26 assorted
blows against three harried 'Skee-
ge pitchers and kept the visitors
war clubs muted with stellar de-
fensive play.
Cavorting with complete assur-
ance and confidence, Tiger batters
swung with gusto, much to the
delight of partisan spectators and
President Coach R. w. E. Jones.
They lit the scoreboard with
two homers and five triples.
Highlander James Edmonds
kindled fireworks in the opener
with a three-run homer, and Clar-
ence Conerly plated five runs in
the nightcap with savage triple
and a four-bagger that sailed over
the 355-foot marker.
The last blow forced starter
Williams Grant to take an in
voluntary bath.

KOREAN VETS Warned OF
DEADLlNE FOR CT TRAINING

Jackson, Miss.-Post-Korea vet
Grams, released from military SER
vice on or before August 20, 1852,
had better start making plans now
if they intend to enroll in Korean
CT Bill training before a fast-ap-
preaching deadline, Veterans Adj
ministration said today.
Under the law, these veterans
actually must begin training be-
fore this coming August 20, in or
der to continue afterwards said
William X. Kinds, Manager of
VAS Mississippi Center.
For many of the veterans, sum-
mer terms in school-getting under
way in about two months-will be
their last chance to start Korean
CT training in time. Next falls
school terms begin too late.
1t doesn't pay to wait until the
last minute before taking action,
Kinds emphasized.
Once a veteran has decided to
train under the Korean CT Bill,
he must choose the school and
course he wants. He must make
certain that the course is Clap
proved. The VA Center in Jack
son can furnish him information
on this point.
Then he must be sure that the
school will accept him for train
ing.
His next step is to file an ap-
plication for Korean CT Bill train
ing with the VA, or with the APP
proved school in which he wishes
to enroll.
Since all these steps take time,
veterans should act promptly to
avoid disappointment.
For veterans requesting VA
.counseling to help them decide on
an objective and a training pro-
gram, prompt action is a must;
the counseling process adds still
another step that is necessarily
time-consuming.
Kinds reminded veterans that
the August &c deadline applies to
veterans planning to take on-the-
job and on-the- farm training, as
we'll as to those who intend to go
to school.
This August's cutoff date ap-
plies only to veterans who left the
service on or before August TO-
1852, Hi IDS said. Veterans sepa-
rated after that time have two
years from the date of their sepa-
ration in which to begin Korean
CT training.
The law requires that veteran
must "enroll in and begin" train
ing on or before his deadline, il
he wants to go ON with it after
wards. The mere filing of an ap-
plication beforehand, with the in
tention of starting later, is not
enough.
These cutoff date rules apply
to veterans planning training un.
der the Korean CT Bill. They dc
not pertain to veterans enrolled
under the original World War Two
CT Bill.
