When he completes his furlough, he will be transferred to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. Robert looks well, and we wish for him a very happy stay at home. The Tidewater Trail PHONE 4091»t BT D. E. SLLI8 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA Dear Times Readers, while cruising along The Trail In this 105—110 degree weather, I wish to report that: Several of my political friends in Norfolk and Princess Ann County are “fuss ing” and “fvunming” over voting for Senator Byrd’s reelection. Well, in the game of life, I’U give a man what his hand calls for. To begin with. Senator Byrd at a County Democratic meeting after i>eing quizzed did not state that he was for FEPC and Civil Rights. He did not hide his stand News For Veterans Post-Korean veterans who want to leam how to fly will get 75 percent of their flight training costs paid by the Government, under a new GI BiU signed by the President in mid-July. The rest will have to come out of the veteran’s own pocket. The new GI Bill, Public law 650. applies to veterans who served since the outbreak of fighting in Korea in June 1990. Their service need not necessari ly have been in Korea. It provides veterans with five benefits; education and training and GI loans, both administered by the Veterans Administration; and unemployment compensa tion, mustering-out pay and job- finding assistance, handled by other agencies. Under the new GI Bill, the VA will make monthly pay ments directly to veteran-train- ees, and not to the school. Out of the allowance, veterans will have to meet all their own ex penses, Including tuition. The VA allowance for flight trainees also will go to the vete rans, but they must turn the money over to the flight school, along with some funds of their own, to cover the cost of the training. The law specifies that the flight training pay will be based on 75 percent of the school’s es tablished charge for non-vete- rans taking the same course. In the case of a veteran taking flight training along with some other course under the new GI Bill, he will receive both the flight allowance plus whatever other allowance he may be en titled to—depending on the course. Normally, under the law, a post-Korean veteran will get one and one-half days of GI training for each day of service after Korea, up to a maximum, for most veterans, of 36 months. But flight trainees will use up their entitlement at the rate of one day for each $1.25 paid to them by the VA. Provisions of the new Korean GI fiill should not be confused with the GI Bill for World War II veterans, VA said. Under the World War II law, the VA would pay all training costs di rectly to the school, and in ad dition would pay a vfeteran a subsistence allowance if he were entitled to it. Under the Korean GI Bill a single payment is made to the veteran. Also, the World War II act contained in provision requiring a veteran to show that his flight training would not be used for a vocational or recreational pur poses. The Korean act includes no'such requirement for flight training. Although the Korean GI Bill is now in effect, the law states that no payment may be made for any period prior to August 20.
