Korean Vets Warned To Be Sure Of Major They Want To Pursue Veterans planning to train under the Korean GI Bill should give careful thought to their choice of a training pro gram, for under the law they'll be allowed to change their College Rolls Down This Fall, i Elementary Up Draft Seen Cutting College Enrollments By 8 To 10 Percent course no more than once. The purpose of the new GI education and training program is to help a veteran reach a definite identified goal, says the Veterans Administration. The goal may be purely education al such as obtaining a college degree; professional, such as becoming a doctor, or vocation al such as training to be i car penter. Before a post-Korean veteran even applies for training under the new GI Bill, he should have clearly in mind just what his goal in life might be, the VA advises. If a veteran makes his single change of course before his deadline for starting training under the new GI Bill, he will not need the VA's approval. However, if his progress was unsatisfactory, he will have to show VA that it was not be cause of his own misconduct, neglect or lack of application. If he wants to change courses after his deadline and has never made a change before he will need the VA's approval. This may be granted, under the law, if VA finds that: (1) he has not been making satisfactory progress in his present program through no faulf of his own, and the program he wants to change to is more in keeping with his aptitudes and previous training, or (2) the program to which he wants to change is a normal progression from his present program. u ft aim Missile Test Only Portent Of Real Thing Two Advantages Seen In Latest Korean Tryouts By J. M. Roberts Jr. Associated Press News Analyst The headline was enough to make your heart leap: "US Fires First Guided Mis sile in Combat." The reporters and the Navy experts were obviously and understandably enthusiastic But the details- left something of a gap between presently avail able weapons and the push-button warfare which we have been pre dicting ever since World War II. What actually happened Sep tember 11 was that the Navy took an old light bomber, in stalled radio controls something like those which have been used for years, put a television camera and broadcasting apparatus in the nose, strapped a bomb under the belly, and sent it off with mother plane to guide it to its target. ' There were two major ad van tages over ordinary bombing tactics, and one appendage which was primarily a thrill for the sponsors and a promise for the future. The pesonnel in the mother plane could stay safely out of a major flak area, an important Is Not Real Ify Colleges and universities are in for a decrease in enrollment of between eight and 10 per cent, The reason is simple Selective Service. In the year starting July 1, 1952, the Defense Department ex pects to call 610,100 men a rate of 50,000 per month. This col legiate enrollment decrease fol lows a pattern started when veterans, going to school under the GI Bill, began graduation In 1950 college enrollment suf fered a 10 percent decrease and dipped another 8 percent m 1951. This is resulting in higher tuition costs in Eastern colleges a feood area for measuring col legiate trends of $100 to $150 a year. But children are the im mediate problem of elementary educators and quite a problem they are. During the 1952-53 school year 26,164,000 children will be attending elementary schols in this country and another 6.236.000 will attend high school. While this gain of 1,691,000 in the last year staggers educators at those levels, they can look for no let-up for several years Compulsory education laws in effect over the nation for the cast 34 vears help keep students in school as others become old ah, to start their formal education. As a result of all these increas ed enrollments and potential fu ture increases our educational in stitutions are caught short on three counts finances, teachers, and buildings. Office of Education figures show that 53,000 new classrooms will be needed to take care of the increase this year. The country will need 600.000 new classrooms before 1960. New schools are shooting up and old schools are expanding over the nation, but the demand is just too great for the supply. Construction has been blocked by lack of funds of shortage of cri tical materials in some instances. As a result, nearly 50 percent of the nation's large cities have been forced to postpone much needed building programs. Sixty-one per cent of the nation's classrooms are overcrowded. One student out of five attends schoolin a building that does not meet minimum fire safety conditions. The New York Times believes that the extended growth of citi-1 zen's committees interested in public schools will lead to better times in the world of education. 5,000 of these committees have been organized in the past three years. It warns that the Korean conflict and national defense pro gram are creating new hazards for the schools and that some of the gains of recent years are be s: , -4 I iff I Iff, I Ui--4 r-Tr?-. i ,..m.,.i ..wWJ t..A,T..-. mv - ii ,nlrtillMi.-rlffJ PASSADENA Attorney Dana Smith and his secretary finish preparing the list of names of people who contributed to the spe cial expense fund for Republican vice-presidential nominee Rich ard Nixon. Smith was trustee for the fund which amounted to $18,235 over a two-year period. Sen. Nixon himself is shown at right as he spoke out from his campaign train at Chico, Calif., where he described the disclosure as a "typical left wing smear." The fund was brought to light by the Democratic national chair man, Stephen Mitchell. . - : I , , . . I l ; l - . - 1 x - :i ji 'J : ' I' Ufe- i Mi ,. W f "Nfc. I.-. I - ; J.

The test was made in an area where there was practically no worry about enemy intercep tor planes. Under ordinary cir cumstances in modern war, both planes would have been in danger instead of the robot only. And harrassment by enemy fighters might easily have broken the mother plane's control of the missile-carrier The second advantage was that the real pilot of the missile, seated in the mother plane, had a kamikaze view of the target through the television eye, mak ing for accuracy in the last mo ments of the robot's approach which would be unknown to or dinary bombing. But the bomb carrier was slow by modern con ceptions and just as prone to being shot down as a piloted mac hine, meaning that it is no more likely to reach its target. On this point, pilot saving remains the great advantage. Whether the Navy missile is more effective than the Army missile, which is more like a bomb or shell launched directly from a mother plane, is a matter on which there is not sufficient public information for compari sion. The thrill and a portent for the future, when there is a real push button war, lay in the television room aboard the .carrier from which the robot was launched. There, apparatus followed the action all the way. Real push button war will come when mis siles are launched and guided to their targets directly from home base .
