Page 2 THE KEY WEST CIT! IZEN Monday, June 28, 1954 THE VETERANS CORNER» Here are authoritative answers from the Veterans Administration to four questions of interest to former servicemen and their fam- ilies: Q. Does the August 20, 1954 dead- line for starting training under the Korean GI Bill apply to all post-Korean veterans? A. No. The. August 20 cut-off date applies only to post-Korean veterans separated from ,service before August 20, 1952. Veterans separated after that date have two years from separation in which to begin Korea GI Bill training. Q. I'm a disabled Korean vet- eran in training under Public Law 16. I’m also eligible for Korea GI Bill training. I expect to finish my Public Law 16 training some time) after August 20, my deadline for starting Korean GI training. Will I be able to get Korea GI Bill training benefits, even though my! cut-off date will have passed? A. Yes. After you successfully complete your Public Law 16 train- ing, you will be permitted to take further training under the Korea GI Bill, so long as it’s a normal progression from the course you've | about their benefits should write or | already completed. Q. I’m a Korean veteran and I was separted from service before August 20, 1952. Later I went back into service, and I’ve just been separated again. Will I have to start Korea GI training before August 20 of this year? A. Not necessarily. For post-Ko- | | | Communism Seen As Election Issue NEW YORK (#—The chairman of the GOP Congressional Cam- paign Committee says commu- nism will definitely be an election issue this year and Sen. Joseph R. MeCarthy (R-Wis) ‘will prove to be an asset’? to the Republican rea veterans who have had two | party. periods of service, the separation | marking the end of the last period is the one that counts. You will have two years from the date of} your second separation in which to begin your Korea GI studies. Q. I started Korea GI Bill train- | ing this past fall. Because of sum- mer vacation, it won’t be possible for me to be in training on the August 20 deadline date. Does that mean I won’t be permitted to go ahead with my studies later? A. No. So long as you began training before the cut-off date, it won’t be necessary for you to be enrolled in school August 20. You will be permitted to continue with your studies at a later date, after the cut-off date.

It did not disclose what possible alternatives to a European deense Community may have been con- sidered.

Enrique Parinello communicated their de- cision to the President. Arbenz was reported extremely angry at their decision but finally agreed to get out after the army guaranteed the safety of himself and his family. Arbenz announced his resigna- tion personally in a broadcast at 9 p.m. on the government radio. He said he was stepping down | “with bitter pain but with the firm conviction that the people will re- tain what has cost so much in this struggle of tears and blood.” “The day will come when there | will be triumph for loyal Guate- malans under Col.

Four persons, including Quick, were injured in the crash. The dead woman was listed as Debreka Martell, 24, of Miami Beach.
