Veterans’' Allowances ! less of the number of dependents. We have not altered our conviction that Con- gress did not intend, in voting the lavish free edu- cational benefits of the GI Bill of Rights, to relieve l‘,"‘"lu’\lw in college from all necessity of contributing to their own support. However, the situation had be- come such that many veterans with families were being forced td do so much outside work to earn a | pare living that they could not give proper atlention MARCH.

Hence the matter for Congress to decide was whether, considering the great rise in Margaret Lindsay living costs, the old allowances were defeating the Aler, Diebs: purposes of the GI Bill. We believe that they were Mrs. H, M. McClellan The same may be said of the on-the-job-training Sam Shear ceilings which the House voted to increase.

We believe that such ceilings are unrealistic in view of today's inflation. We wonder, however, whether the House I not erred on the side of gen- in upping the maximums to $250 for single mor \rainces, $325 for those with one dependeént and $350 for those with two or more dependents. It is more that these sums may act as a deterrent to those veterans who are struggling to make a go of career jobs at smaller salaries. The Senate wisely, in opinion, has declined to go along with the full ¢ unt, of the House raises, and a compromise be- | 4 tween the Senate maximum of $250 and the House maximum of $350 is now in conference While the increased costs connected with these adjustments are necessary, they do present an anomaly in light of the seeming Congressional determination to lower taxes come hell or high water.
