Vet Clubs Join
Fight for OPA
College G.I. Groups
Appeal to Congress
Members of the Veteran As
sociations of the University of
North Carolina, Duke Univer
sity and State College have
joined in a concerted appeal to
Congress to "not take any action
that might lift or cripple the
OPA," according to Blount
Blount Stewart, head of the
Carolina group, in a statement
issued here yesterday.
Stewart said that more than
2,000 have signed the petition
from Chapel Hill and it, along
with similar petitions from
Duke and State will be sent "to
a senator whom the veterans feel
will represent their views on
OPA." By the time the petitions
are ready to be sent, he said, "it
is expected that- signatures will
have gone beyond 10,000."
Similar Groups
The Anchor and Eagle, the
Duke Veterans organization,
Stewart explained, has queried
similar groups throughout the
country, and "many organiza
tions, including the University of
California, are getting in line
with those North Carolina vet
erans in their crusade against
inflation."
Stewart said that Governor
Cherry's proclamation setting
aside the week of April 29-May
4 as Veterans' Opportunity Week
is wise and timely.
"The lifting of OPA will bring
about inflation and will defeat
the purpose for which the G.I.
Bill was created under President
Roosevelt's administration and
which was revised the first of
this year," he said. "Many vet
erans will be forced to drop out
of school if OPA goes out of
existence or if continued with
crippling amendments."
paid by the government.
Since the Munich climate is
cool the year round, Gloria is
planning to take with her almost
all woolen clothes. She is having
to stock up on many articles,
such as shampoo, soap, and lip
stick, which are not available in
Germany. Except for a com
plete lack of milk, Lieut. Briggs
has described the food as "won
derful," so the bride will have
little worry along that line.
Gloria's future home once
the training center for ace Nazi
airmen is equipped with good
living facilities. These are now
being enjoyed by the U. S. Army
Air Force personnel.
