Korea. CT Bill
Extended by Law

Post-Korea veterans now have
three years from the date of their
discharge to start Korea CT Bill
training. under a new law signed
by the President August 20, 1854
Particularly benefited are the
majority Of veterans discharged
before August 20. 1852. Under the
old law. they had to start train
ing before August 20 of this year.
But since most fall school terms
begin in September, those unable
to get in training before that
deadlne would have lost their en-
titlement
The new law, winch re-estab-
lished their entitlement for an
other year from their date of sep
aration, permits those with ex-
tended headlines to enroll for the
fail term.
For veterans discharged after
August 90 1852. the new law al
lows them to start training with
IN three years of their separation
date. Under the old law, they had
only two years
But veterans who were separat-
ed before August 90. 1851 still will
not be able to make fall terms
this year. Neither will veterans
separated shortly after that date,
whose three-year headlines end
before the 1854 school year be
gins.
The new law also adds another
year to the Wind-up Of the Korean
CT Bill training program. Train
ing now must come to an end
within eight years from the date
Of a veterans separation, or eight
years from the end Of the'present
emergency period - whichever
comes first. 1t previously was sew

The praise followed senate
ub-committee statement advising
the CTC to prove its non-bias pol
icy by employing Negroes.
The proposed change in the hir-
ing policy was brought to light
last week when the Capital Transit
Company aired its problems before
the Senate District Subcommittee.
During these hearings Senator
Wayne Morse (Ind., Ore,) advised
the Capital Transit Company and
it's union that arbitration is not
one-way street"-it can force the
firm to bargain on pensions and
force the union to accept Negro
bus operators without "quickie"
strikes.
At the close Of the hearing the
three~man subcommittee urged the
company to hire Negro drivers.
Their decision came after the Ore
gon senator stated:
81 have no hesitancy in saying
there is a clear responsibility on
the company to demonstrate that
it has no discriminatory policy by
proceeding to hire some Negro
platform men and bus drivers.
And if any work stoppage should
develop, the company then should
invoke arbitration under its dis
agreement with the union.
II know of no better time than
now or sooner"
Morse's statement came after
Walter ]. Bierwagon, president of
the local AFL transit union and
vice president of its internation-
al, had assured the subcommittee
the union had no policy against
the hiring of non-white operators.
Earlier in the hearings ]. A..
Broadwater, CTC president, had
testified that the company had no
objections to hiring Negro oper-
ators, but feared work stoppage
due to union objections. Robert
E. Mclaughlin, chairman of the
D. c. Public Utilities Commission,
told the senate subcommittee that
public utilities are affected with
a public interest,""
He therefore asked Congress to
Immediately act "in the matter of
refusal of the public utilities-to
hire colored and white employees
without discrimination"
The senate subcommittee then
challenged the company to "dem-
onstrate that it has no discrimina-
tion policy" Senator Morse, who
led the challenge, was backed up
by the subcommittee chairman
Senator Frederick G. Payne (R.,
Maine) and Senator Glenn Becall
(R., Md.).
The Urban League wrote letters
of commentator to each of the
sub : committee members. T h e
League also expressed strong sup
port for enactment of legislation
barring discrimination in utility
employment.

it represents the boldest approach
to this problem of equal education
al opportunities between the white
and Negro races that has ever
been made by our State Legisla-
ture. For this l wish to thank
each of you for the Negro teach
crs of Mississippi.
There are, however, aspects of
this problem to which l think Sc
rious thought should be given. The
laws as passed imply that prob
lens of transportation, buildings.
consolidation, finances, and reports
of several kind will face the Negro
principals and teachers as never
before. Not only Negro teachers
but all teachers will have new re-
sponsibilities if the program is to
be successful. 1t will, therefore
seriously tax the supervisory per-
sonnel of the State Department of
Education to give adequate guild
ance to the white schools. AS
Hesult of this the program for Ne
groes might get off to bad start
We sincerely feel that much of
the good you intended in setting
up this program will be lost in the
beginning unless very close super
vision is given at this initial stage.
Unless someone helps the average
teacher set up the system of rec
ords required, much understanding
and loss will surely occur. All
schools will be expected to main
tain records adequate for auditing
1t is here that serious difficulty
will be experienced unless super
vision on the State level is avail
able.
We must not forget that this
equalization program is an invest
ment in good will and Understand
ing. 1t is vitally important that
all parties understand what is be-
ing done in implementing all phases
of this program. Misunderstand
lngs can best be cleared up through
fair and impartial presentation of
the facts by both interested par
ties. There is danger, then, that
such program projected without
any official connection of both
sides might breed suspicion re-
gardless of how fairly admins
trated.
1t is, therefore, a desire of the
Negro teachers that you give Sc
rious thought to the employment
of competent Negroes for Super
vlsory work on the State level.
Such persons should receive sal
aries, travel, office and equipment.
and clerical help so that they could
do an efficient job.
We would suggest that such
personnel be located in the North
ern and Southern parts of the state

Judge Pledges
Fight To Cut
Divorce Rate

CHICAGO - NC) - An Illinois
Judge pledged to continue his fight
for measures to cut down the num-
Der of divorces although his wait
ing period" law was declared un-
constitutional by the state SUI
preme Court.
Judge Julius H. Miner, whose
law requiring 60-day period of
attempted reconciliation was ruled
out as depriving citizens of their
rights. said that the Supreme Court
action apparently skaters anoth-
er grand experiment in the battle
to halt the frightening destruction
of so many American homes.
The Supreme Court gave its res-
sons for ruling against the law as:
II deprives citizens of the right
to speedy remedy in law.
II is not uniformly applied be.
cause judges may waive to 60-day
requirement.
Conferences to attempt reconcil-
iation are held during the 60-day
waiting period and judges are
obliged to assume functions that
are not judicial"
Judge Miner said that during
four months when the law was in
effect there were 1927 fewer di-
yorce suits filed in Cook County
than in the same period in 1852
and that about SO per cent of the
statements of intent to divorce
were abandoned as result of the
cooling off" wait.

than in the dramatic presentations.
All experience has shown that
one of the hardest lessons for any

of restraint. When We are young
