Many Educators Oppose VA's
Power to Cut Education Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspendent
WASHINGTON--The law under which Veterans
Administration now wields authority to cancel tha
G 1 edueational benefits of approximately 4,500,000
veterame was slipped through Congress at VA's
urging with practically no public hearing and in the
{ace o? The bitter opposition of the country’s leading
educators.
Under this act, as it is being enforced by VA, any
vet who started & course and stopped it, or who has
completed one phase of a course, is virtually pro
hibited from using any more of his educational
benefite, VA has the final authority in determining
whether he can use the balance of the berefits he
has coraing under the GI bill, And under the same
law the 13,500,000 vets who haven't gotten around
to ushmg any of the GI benefits yet ,will be sharply
limited, at VA’s discretion, as to what use they can
make of the GI bill in the future.
The act in question gives VA final authority in
prohib#ting a veteran to get training paid for by the
sovernment which might be “avocational or rece
reational” VA’s method of enforcing that seemingly
innoecuoug law is what has U, S. educators up in
arms.
Actuaily, the law was put on the books last year
by the soth Congress. But VA only used it very
sparingly last year. It was passed in an irregular
manner, Instead of going through the congressional
veterans’ committees, with open hearings, it was
included in the VA appropriations bill after secret
meetings at which only VA officials appeared.
ONE-SIDED HEARING y
Then ¢laiming that the 80th Congress set a
precedent by ineluding the law in its appropriation
act, VA this year persuaded the Senate Independent
Offices Appropriations subcommittee to renew the
restriction, and strengthen it. Again, the matter was
not referred to the congressional veterans’ come
mittees, the logical groups to process such a law,
Again, only the VA was permitted to state its side
of the ease to the committee,
The only time U. S. educators got a say on the
matter at all was one morning when a special Sen
ate welfare committee invited comment on a
separate bill which would have done about the sams
thing a 8 the provision that now exists in the ape
propriations act. Those who got there in fime to
speak opposed the measure, but this testimony was
ignored by the committee which finally recome
mended the bill for pagsage by the Senate.
Although the means by which VA got its aue
thority 40 curb GI education and training was
irregular, #ts announced reason for wanting it was
to save the taxpayers a lot of money. VA officlals
told the sppropriations committee that if they wero
given dhat law and an additional $8.000,000 to en
force H properly, it would net the government a
saving &f more than $100,000,000. They got the law
and $7,086,000. . .
SCHOBIL BECOMES STOP-GAP
Chiet srgument advanced by the VA ecucation
officinls was their suspicion that hundreds of
thousands of veterans were using their GI rights
to go i® school between jobs. At that time uneme
ployment wsas increasing and the straight GI une
employment benefit died, ending the 52-20 clubs.
VA officlals also told the subcommittee that
many fly-by-night schools were springing up all
over the sountry just to take advantage of the job
hunters who really didn’t want to study but just
wanted shelr government subsistence as unemploye
ment insurance. The schools collected the tuition
and the wets their lving costs.
In the bitter argument that has developed be
twelln sducators and VA officials, VA goes back to
intént of Congress:
“The. legislative history of the GI bill reveals
that she underlying spirit of the act is to help a
veteram, whose training was interrupted or pre
vented by the war, to resume his training and
thereby attain the knowledge and skill he might
have sehieved had their been no war.”
In yeply, educators say that the intent of Con
gress 'wos made clear in the law. The amount of
beneffls each veteran is entitled to and how long
the benedits should last, they point out, is stated in
the law. And any VA attempt to reduce these bene
tits through administrative action is violating the
spirit of the GI bill, they claim.
The people hired us to stay here the year round,
# necessary. It is not like the good old days, when
Congress eould meet, spend three weeks on the
tariff, pess a few appropriation bills an dego home.

Television In Aufomobiles
This jray not be a popular position to take, but
there should be a law banning television sets from
automobiles. More than & dozen states already have
such movements in their legislative bodies,
if there is anything that would increase the
danger of accidents in auto driving, it seems like
it would be a television set. To drive safely the
auto driver must keep his eyes wide open to every
thing in front of him and on both sides the road.
He cannot safely fix his attention on a television
picture while driving, If he does he is pretty apt
to go into the ditch or head-on into some machine,
He can listen to a radio and keep up with the
message it is giving out, but even then he can be
come interested to an extent that makes him
negictiul am‘xd invites disaster, but not to th ex=
tent of keeping his eyes glued on a picture and
neglecting to see the danger that confronts him.
He may have to give up some of his pleasure
when he is not allowed to have a television set in
his autemobile, but it would be a deprivation that
he should be willing to suffer,
Japan and Germany
Japan and Germany were our enemeis in World
War 11, but in the rehabilitation of the world we
cannot afford to overlook the fact that their con
dition mut be looked after. :
In the picture of the world’s development the
United States, even if this nation is the great
et and most prosperous in the world, must take
into consideration the advancement of those two
nations. Jaapn will become the great bulwark of
defense i ntime against Communist Russia, For
that reason we may have to extend to the realm
o fthe Mikado more or less help. It may not sit
well on our stomachs but we will in tinre have
to swallow the dose, Thus far the Japanese pues
tion has been handled in a satisfactory manner by
MacArthur, It is well that he is still at the head
of affairs in that country, Just what we will fin
ally have to do with China cannot be predicted
now, but that too és a situation we must meet and
settle, '
It is pure folly to attempt to solve the European
questions without faking Germany into considera
tion, The Germans are a highly educated people.
'fhey will never be content to remain in a subor
dinate position. Germany stretches across . cen
tral Europe. She lies in a sirategic position as
a bulwark against Communisn}. We cannot in the
end hope to stop the Russian Communistic ad
vance with Germany as an enemy. In spite of her
being our enemy under Hitler, we wiil have to
help in her rehabilitation It will be a difficult job
to democratize Germany, but it is one of our jobs
that we will have to perform.
These are just a few of our tasks, There are oth
ery we will have to meet, but just now the three
greatest are Japan, China and Germany,
The Service Of Mammon
In the long run the good is going to triumph in
this world, but itg ultimate triumph is still a long
way off, There is only one way to ultimate vic
tory and that is through our service to God and
the brotherhood of nran.
The Bible gives us a rule of action that we
must follow. We cannot win through the service
of Mammon and that is just what we are trying
to do.
Into every question of importance that calls for
solution before we can solve the great questions
that confront the world the injection of selfish
interest ronfronts us. All diplomacy between the
nations revolves around the question of selfish
advancement, Practically all nations are serving
Mammon,
It is all right for nations to look after their per
gonal interests, That is natural, mut there are oth
er things they will have to look after. They cannot
hope % make a successful partnership between
God and Mammon, They will not work together.
Here i 5 where the Communists fal ldown in their
propaganda. They seek to deceive the people of
different nations by undermining their faith in God
and substituting atheism .in its place. It will not
work. - :
“Ye cannot serve both God and Mammon.”

ECHOES FROM MEMORYLAND
Some Of My Old_'fi;:gunday School Teachers.
Among my choicest Sunday
School teachers were a number .of
devoted men and women whose
memories linger with me, Mind
you I say “Sunday” School teach=
ers, not Church Sch i teachers.
The Methodist Church, very focl
ishly in my judgment, abandoned
the use of the mname "Sunday
School” for that of “The Church
School” when the Northern and
Southern churches unified a few
years since, tut I shail as long as
I live use the old name. I do not
regard it as simply a Church
school, The word “Sunday” should
be kept in it.
I remember well my first Sun
day Schocl teacher, Grandma
Payne, She was a devout Prasby+
terian and a member cf the old
Third Presbyterian Church, now
Moore Memorial i’resbyterian
Church. But she was tolarant in
her religion and organized a Sun
day School in Atlanta, to which
‘was given the name of Payne’s
|Chapel in her honor. It is now
cailed Payne _Zemoriai Church.
As a little boy I attended Sunday
School there and Grandma Payne
was my teacher, She bhad a boy
named Ed, who grew to manhood
and became one of the leading
citizens of Atlanta. When 1 was
nine years old I joined the Third
Presbyterian Church and remain
ed a Presbyterian until I married
fifty-six years ago, when I went
into the Methodist Church with
my wife.
But when I came to the Univer
sity of Georgia I did rot go into
the Presbyterian Sunday School.
I was very fond of my c!d teacher
of Latin and Greek and he was
conducting a class in the First
Baptist Sunday School and so a
while he became my teacher. Also
back in those years for a while,
Miss Bessie Rutherford, daughter
| of my teacher of Mathematics, be
came my teacher. She is still liv
ing, the widow of the late Vassar
Wooley, living in Ailanta and

dist Church, my teachers for a

number of years were Edward P,
Stone and the late Rev. George E.
Stone. Then I was taught by David
C. Barrow, laler.on the beloved
University Chancellor for sever
al years.
There never was a better Sun
day School teacher than “Uncle
Dave.” His messages cover the oid
time Gospel in the simplest of lan=-
guages and were full of conviction.
For a-while I was 1m a class
taught by the late Dr. Jere M.
Pound and also for absut a year
or two taught m; 2if a class of
girls from Lucy Cobb lustitute. In
1909 I joined the class just organ
ized by Henry C. Tuck and for
twenty-six years he was my
teacher, I have prior to this time
written of his teaching. He was a
unique * and powerful teacher,
When he gave up his teaching
eleven years ago I fork up his
work and have taught that class
since,
All this may be of little interest
to my readers, but I consider the
teaching done by all these teachers
as having made contributions in
valuable to my religious experi
ence and responsibile in largest
measure for whatevar service I
m:, have bheen to the Sunday
School and Church, and I wish to
pin these facts down in print as
a mark of deep appreciation of all
they emant to me.
