Helgi Kuuskraa Secretary & Reporter NEWS FOR VETS Fall enrollments of veterans training under the Korean GI Bill have morf than doubled the peak reached' a year ago, and show signs of reaching still higer levels, Veterans Administration announc ed. Al-o, VA said, this fall’s flood of Korean GI trainees has out stripped a corresponding drop in World War II GI Bill enrollments. On November 1, trainees under the Korean GI Bill totaled a rec ord breaking 451,000, of whom more than half, or 225,000, were attending college. The rest were training in below-college-level, schools, on-the-job and on-the- j farm. The total was more than twice the size of last year’s figure of 217,000 veteran-trainees. In contrast, November i enroll ments under the waning World War II GI training program num bered 168,000 — less than half of the 346,000 World War II vet erans in training last year this time. VA said the 451,000 Korean Gl Bill total for November 1 would grow to a still larger figure by the end of the year. Looking further ahead, VA esti mated that when the program fin ally reaches its peak and levels off, a year-’round average of 500, 000 Korea veterans would be in training iq the nation’s schools and establishments. The figure would be higher in the fall and lower in the summer—but prob ably would average out around the 500,000-mark, VA said. VA explained that the Korean GI Bill stili is a young program, it has been in operation only two years and three months. The World War II GI Bill, on the other hand, has passed its tenth anniversary and has been declin ing steadily during the past few In numbers alone, the young Korean GI program corld never match the record of the older No!

DELLinGER'S C/i&Uyvilfle. 71.C. JEWEL SHOP World War II GI Bill. Unde the letter law, 7,800,000 veterans— half of all who served in World War II—received training during the past 10 years. However, all the posbKorea veterans in the nr.tion to date add up to only 3,200,000 — onesfifth the size of the World War II veteran popu lation. Proportion-wise, however, all indications point to post-Korea veterans making as wide a use of their GI training benefits as have their older brothers-in-arms of World War II, VA said.. Tar Heel pecan production is fi gured to be 1,860,000 pounds, a bout half the size of last year’s large crop.
