Veterans Laws
Not Affected By
Proclamation
Veterans Administration has
found officially that President
Truman's recent proclamation end
ing hostilities has no effect on
most of the laws administered by
the VA, the Asheville VA office has
reported.
VA has held, it was explained,
that the date of the official termin
ation of the war, rather than the
cessation of hostilities, is the de
termining factor in establishing
the deadline for the educational,
loan and readjustment allowance
provisions of the GI Bill.
The same ruling applies to vo
cational rehabilitation under Pub
lic Law 16 for disabled veterans.
Under the CI Bill loans may be
guaranteed or insured by VA up
to ten years alter the official end
of the war. Education or job train
ing may be started up to four years
after the end of the war. Disabled
veterans eligible for education or
training under Public Law 1G fact
no specific deadline but they must
complete their training within
nine years after the end of the war.

VENEREAL DISEASE
BKKN (API The Swiss federal
council has ordered every physi
cian to report sources of venereal
disease to cantonal authorities for
compulsory trealuuwit of individu
als who decline to be treated
In some cantons, said a federal
report, syphilis and gonorrhea cases
in 1945 increased from three to five
times the number of cases during
the preceding year.
Because of increased interna
tional traffic, the report added, it
was feared that post-war increase
of venereal disease in Switzerland
would be more marked than it was
after the 1914-18 conflict.

CRASH
Stanley Dislikes Work at Craggy,
Pays Short Visit To Home Here
James Stanley evidently has
a keen dislike for working for
the Slate.
About a month ago he was
given a four months term to
help repair the roads of the
State, being assigned to the
prison camp at Craggy. This
was because local police had
caught him dispensing liquid
refreshments of the illegal,
white lightning type, at his
home here on Sinathers Street,
and the judge felt that in four
months lie might think il over
and mend his ways.
Stanley made a good prison
er, was appointed a trustee at
Craggy, with all indications of
returning to private life in a
shorter period than that speci
fied by the judge. However the
fires of freedom burned bright
ly inside him, which became
apparent Monday whey he ask
ed permission to go to Ashe
ville for some dental work
which was granted and then
forgot to come back to Craggy.

The Camp superintendent
and one of the guards arrived
in Waynesville the following
morning. Accompanied by
Chief Orville Noland of the lo
cal force, they went to Stan
ley's home. No one was there,
even his wife was gone.
Tuesday night another visit
was paid lo Smathers Street,
and this time the law found
the family at home. Also in the
house were six jars of while
liquor, three gallons.
Now Stanley is back at Crag
gy, w ilh Wl days added to his
previous sentence. In the
Mayor's Court trial Wednes
day afternoon, Mrs. Stanley
was given a $2.r line on the
charge of violating the prohibi
tion law, hut her attorney has
appealed the case to Superior
Court .
Other cases tried the same
day resulted in one person be
ing fined $100 and costs for
reckless driving, and three
men getting a 32 day road
sentence for public drunken
ness, suspended on payment of
court costs.
In trials Monday six others
on the charge of public drunk
enness received a similar sent
ence. One young man, found
guilty of possessing stolen
automobile parts, was fined $25
and costs.
The Bus Driver Steps
On the Gas Chasing Stork
NEW YORK It was obvious
that the Prospect Avenue bus car
rying Mrs. Glenda Gumbs to Lin
coln Hospital Thursday night would
never get there in time if it fol
lowed the regular route and made
all scheduled stops, so the driver,
James Young, told the dozen other
passengers: "This bus is now ex
press to Lincoln Hospital." He
turned on speed, cut corners, whip
ped down side streets and pulled
up in front of the hospital in rec
ord time. Mrs. Gumbs' husband
raced into the hospital and fetched
Dr. William H. Gutstein, an interne,
who delivered a six-pound six
ounce boy in the bus.

ing that the would-be robber ap
parently was not armed, he swung
his fist and connected.
Next morning, Brown reported
the episode, advising police to be
on the lookout for a man who can
run fast.
