MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1945 . Pirate Hunt In Aegean Revives Qld Customs Athens, Feb—The British Navy is back at an old job—hunting pir ates! This time in the waters of the blue Aegean. This piece of startling news is vouched for by a high military authority here in Athens who told us in a matter-of-fact manner that his seagoing colleagues had been gjlled on to begin an anti-pirate campaign. The pirates had become quite bold, he explained, and a number of incidents had occurred. The British were, therefore, undertaking in order to encourage Greek coast wise and between-island trade. Since this story was too promis ing to limit to such a bare an nouncement, I hunted around for some one who could tell me a bit and X had the good fortune to find a Greek journalist who knew all about it. He explained that the law-break ers in question were also brigands and that their activities had been a part of the Greek landscape for a long time. The main scene of activity is in the Cyclades Islands which are about a score in number, are situ ated southeast of Athens, and have ©en famous throughout all time as the scene of some of the most Business Directory If you are in doubt as to where to find anything look over this Ust.

Y„ Feb.—With the ad dition of approximately 700 vet erans for scholarships in December last, New York State is now pro viding college or trad/: training for about 1,100 of the 1,200 schol arships voted at the 1944 legisla tive session. The State Education Department which administers the law, found it had more scholarships than ap plicants, so that it was possible to permit veterans with a passing mark to become eligible for the $350 a year award for tuition at an approved institution of learning anywhere in the State. The State does not pay for books or for main tenance and the tuition is paid di rectly to the college or trade school the veteran has selected as best fitted for his requirements. About 50 veterans declined the award, some of them saying they preferred the Federal grant of SSOO for a year on tuition. The majority of those who preferred 1 the Federal grant did so for a year of graduate work either in a college course or a trade school where they left off to join the armed forces. The State is doing much for the returning soldier, as is evidenced in legislation pending before the two houses. These measures in clude the establishment of seven state institutions for instruction in the arts and crafts, a state bonus, business loans for veterans who wish to establish a small business, preference in civil service positions educational qualifications, hospital care, state loans to veterans for housing, loan from banks, a service emblem and unemployment insur ance benefits. o Didn’t Forget Him ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo —The | mother of James Whalen, Rock Springs youth who is with the arm ed forces overseas, recently received a letter from him saying that he had been promoted to private first class on one day. The next day, his birthday, he was given a second j promotion—to sergeant. glorious pages in the history of classical Greece. These islands are dotted with whitewashed fishing villages, olive and lemon groves and the ruins of Greek temples more than 2,000 years old. #r*wcw Y WILLIAM M V.v .

Feb. 25.—Pictur ing congressmen as a generally mis understood group of men getting poorer by the year. Maury Maverick told the lawmakers today they ought to do something about it. Here’s what they ought to do, said the brusque Texan who served quite a spell in Congress himself: Hike their salaries to at least $15,000 a year. Provide themselves with a pen sion program to weather the ecO- i nomic winds of old age. Even then, Mr. Maverick told a| House Judiciary Subcommittee : studying pay-raise legislation, they won't get rich or live any too well, Washington living cosLs being what they are.
