Officials of the Veterans' Ad- J ministration stated that during last month over 1000 checks had been returned to the Administra- tion because of improper address and they believe that most of the cases of non-receipt of allotment can be contributed to that one factor. Col. Sheppard, veterans advisor here, announced that change-of -address forms can be obtained at room 119 in Peabody hall. Another reason for delay, the Administration announced, is that many of out-of-state vete rans have not had their files transferred to the NC head quarters in Winston-Salem. All veterans are urged to use their case number in all official correspondence. After the certificate of eligi bility has been returned by the University, a veteran should re ceive his allotment within 20 days.
