As Inflation Continues Subsistence Increase Hope Wanes Before GOP Decision By Earl .Heffner Hope for an increase in GI subsistence took a fade-out yester day with news from the University Veterans Association Presi dent Hugh Wells of a conversation between him and Solon Carl Durham, representative in Congress from the sixth district. Well3 explained that Representative-" Durham has little hope for the ability of H. R. 870, the increase measure, to get put of committee. Roughly, the chaotic situation seems to broil down to a divergence of opin ion between the Democrats, now a minority party, and the Republicans, recently installed on the legislative throne. An Order "The House Veterans Affairs com mittee wants to read out the measure, place it on the floor," said Wells, "but, reports are that the Republican pow ers that be have handed down an or der that the bill remain in committee until Congress adjourns." The gagging procedure is being further facilitated by the intricate workings of the Rules committee. "Representative Durham has indi cated" continued Wells, "that the in crease probably will be forced to re main in committee until Congress ad journs. Then, when Congress con venes again, the entire program sup porting the bill must be begun over again." Contradictory This cloudy report contradicts pre vious optimism resulting from study by the Ramey sub-committee of the veterans affairs group. Wells pointed out that he and Rep resentative Durham concur in the be lief that the only hope for the early passage of the increase lies in pres sure on the budget-cutting Republi cans. " In a statement to the Daily Tar Heel yesterday afternoon, Represen tative Durham said, "There is hope for a change of minds before the Ap propriations committee finishes its work. But now the present picture on the legislation (the GI subsistence increase) is dark. He added, "Educational aid under the GI Bill would reap benefits for 30 to 40 years to come. For this rea son, I favor passage of the increase measure." Dr. Jordan Will Give Sermon This Morning Dr. G. Ray Jordan, professor of preaching at Candler School of Tech-1 nology and one of the South's leading Methodist ministers, will deliver the morning, sermon at the 11 o'clock service at the Methodist church today.
