Many GIs Will Get More Checks
More than a million GI Bill
trainees will receive checks
averaging nearly $430 during
November as a result of an
increase in their educational
assistance allowance approved
bv .lie 1‘resident on October 24,
1972
II W .liihnson. Director of the
Winston .Salem Veterans Admi-
nislatioii Regional Office, said
that VA computer personnel are
making every effort to complete
the necessary changes to get the
checks out near the first of
the month.
Because the new law permits
the Veterans Administration to
make the monthly payments to
students in advance rather than
at the end of each month of
training, November checks will
include both the November
advance and the October
payment which was due at the
end of the month under the old
system. The increases are
retroactive to September 1st so
those who were enrolled in
September and have continued
in school thrpugh October 24
will receive the difference
between the old and new rates
for any part of September they
were attending shod. Johnson
said.
Students need not contact VA
It they are aireny on v A rolls as
GI Bill students. Johnson
emphasized. Those who are
already certificed by their
schools will receive the higher
payments automatically
December checks and all
subsequent checks will be paid

at the new rate at the first of the
month.
The new rates start at $220
per month for a single trainee
going to school full time. Those
with one dependent will get
$261. Those with two dependents
will get $298 and $18 a month
more will be paid for each
depend! nt in excess of two.
Fayments for apprenticeship
and on-the-job training under
the GI Bill will start at $160 a
month for single trainees.
Eligible wives, widows and
children under the Dependents'
Educational Assistance pro
gram in approved full time
training will receive $220 per
month.
Based on estimates that more
than two million will be enrolled
under the program during
Fi.scal year 1973 (ending June
.30, 19731 the VA estimates that
total costs will be $2.6 billion for
the fiscal year. September
enrollment was 806.000 - 23
percent above last year's
figure.
1 he October 24, 1972 law does
much more than raise training
allowances and authorize atf
vaiice payment, Johnson point
ed out.
'Ihese are the changes of
greatest interest to students:
Rules on tutoring are libera
lized to make it easier for
students in need of tutoring to
qualify for a special allowance.
New protection is provided
lor those who sign up for
correspondence courses.
Eligible wives, widows and
children under the Dependents'
Educational Assistance Pro
gram are given broader latitude
in choosing training programs
to include on-the-job trftining
and enrollment in foreign
institutions of higher learning.
Tutoring for those who need it is
also included, and correspond
ence courses and high school
courses are available for wives
and widows.
Women veterans may now
claim their husbands as depen
dents in order to qualify for
higher benefits on the same
basis as married male vet
erans. Widowers of female
veterans will now receive the
same training rights as widows.

SOLVE A CRIME
BY A. C. GORDON
YOU ARE THE DETECTTIVE
“Stabbed to death...in her
own bed!" the middle-aged
housekeeper, Mrs. Mathews,
cries. "It must have happened
sometime during the night, and
there I was sleeping so close by
in the next room . . .it's horri
ble!"
The body of the victim,
wealthy Abigail Turner, has
been taken away by the police
and you are now seated in the
living room of the Turner home
talking with Mrs Mathews and
George Logan, the victim's
attorney.
You speak up. “Since you two
were the last persons to see
Mrs. Turner alive, and since she
had no family, and you both
come in for huge shares of her
estate. I must regard you both
for the present as my chief
suspects.''
Logan accepts your state
ment very matter-of-factly, but
Mrs. Mathew is visibly shaken
and blurts out, "But I've
already told you -1 was sleeping
when it happened. I couldn’t
"Suppose you tell me exactly
what happened last night before
you retired," you prompt her.
“Well, Mr. Logan was here,
and I could hear him and Mrs.
Turner talking in her room...
business matters, I think. I was
busy in my room straightening
things out when I heard her tell
him goodnight, and I heard him
leave...that was at 7:30. Then I
went downstairs to the kitchen

How To
Relieve
Nose Cold
While some physicians are
battling it out over vitamin C. a
search of the medical literature
provides evidence that if you
can't prevent the common cold,
there's some pleasure In trying
to cure it.
The physician-authors of a
book on colds note that “alcohol
dilates the small blood vessels
in the skin and thus helps
re-establish circulation in the
mucosal surfaces.” It is per
haps for this reason that many
cough medicines contain small
quantities of alcohol, and many
cold victims consume large
quantities of it, often dispensed
by a local bartender rather than
the corner pharmacist.
However, at this time of the
year colds are said to "peak”
and an estimated $4(X) to $500
million worth of cough and cold
preparations are dispensed
from pharmacies.
For stuffy noses, drops or
sprays are reported to give good
results because they shrink the
membrane and permit the
person with clogged nasal
passages to breath more easily,
and the sinus cavities to drain.
Phenylephrine hydrochloride,
which is most often available as
N*o-Synephrine drops are also
available in a special strength
for infants. Babies have diffi
culty breathing through their
mouths, and the use of a mild
nasal decongestant has also
been found to help prevent
complications such as ear
infections.
However, when overused
indiscriminately, nose drops
can have a rebound effect - i.e.
their initial, therapeutic effect
may be followed by more
congestion.
Many of the effects of alcohol,
when taken in excess, are
already well known to most
readers. Pharmacologists have
found that when the imbiber is
also taking one or more
medications, perhaps for the
same or another medical
problem, there is always the
possibility of an untoward
interaction of the alcohol with
these drugs as well.
Saint Paul’s
Gets $10000 In
Mellon Grant
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. -
Saint Paul's College of Law-
renceville. Virginia has receiv
ed a $100,0(X).00 gift from the
Andrew W Mellon Foundation
in New York. The college is one
of six black colleges to receive
similar grants from the Mellon
Foundation this year.
The grant according to Dr
Nathan M. Pusey, President of
the Foundation, is an operation
al one which can be used to
strengthen the educational pro
gram of the college He further
stated, however, that the
specific use of the grant would
be determined by the adminis
tration of the college and its
governing board, "since the
aim of the grant is to help rather
than prescribe.”
President James A. Russell,
Jr., in announcing the grant,
expressed great satisfaction in
receiving it, and said that it is
one of the largest contributions
to be awarded to the college this
year.
In 1952, Martin P. Durkin,
president of the Plumbers and
Pine Fitters Union, was design
ed by President-elect Eisen
hower to be Secretary of Labor
in the new Cabinet. Mr. Durkin
was the first active union
official and the fourth unionist
to be named Secretary of Labor
since the establishment of the
Department of Labor in 1913
and drank a cup of tea. I got
hack to my room a few minutes
after eight, and not hearing a
sound from Mrs. Turner’s
room. I thought she'd gone to
bed earlier than usual. So, after
reading for about an hour or so.
I went to bed. too.
“I slept very soundly. ..didn't
wake until I heard Mrs.
Turner's alarm clock. ..it’s a
very loud one at 8:IX). I put on
a robe and w ent into her room to
see what she wanted me to fix
tor her breakfast. There she
was. lying face.down on her
bed, that horrible knife in her
back!”
You turn to George Logan.
"Anything you can add?” you
ask him.
"I was with Abigail for about
a half-hour last evening, just as
Mrs. Mathews has told you,"
Logan replies brusquely. "She
certainly was very much alive
and in good spirits when I left at
7:30."
"I wonder very much about
that!” Mrs. Mathews remarks
acidly.
"I was sure from the first that
one of you is guilty. " you say.
"and now I know which one!”
Whom do you suspect, and
why?
SOLUTION
Mrs. Mathews. She told you
that Logan departed at 7:30 last
night and that she was
awakened by Mrs Turner’s
alarm at 8:0() this morning. If
Ixigan had killed Mrs. Turner
before he left, the alarm would
have gone off at 8:00 last night
(if it had already been set), or it
would not have gone off at all
the next morning. Mrs. Turner
must have set her alarm clock
after 8:00 last night, and was
killed sometime after that.

Struggle For Equality Is

JACKSON, Miss. - Fifteen
months after the Jackson.
Mississippi, police department
and the FBI suffered one dead
and two wounded in a surprise
dawn attack on the Republic of
New Africa’s Government
House here, RNA President
Imari Abubakari Obadele. I,
remains in jail un*tried. His
path to freedom by means of
posting $75,000 bond has three
times been blocked by Missis
sippi state and federal courts
and the FBI.
Although Brother Imari was
not at the scene of the August
1971 shootout and was arrested
at the RNA office several blocks
away, Hinds County Prosecutor
Ed Peters and Circuit Judge
Russell Moore are hoping to
send the 42-year-old political
theorist activist to jail for life.
They have already visited such
sentences upon RNA Vice
President Hekima Ana. Delta
Interior Minister Offogga
Quadduss, and 16-year-old Ka
rim Njabafudi. In the meantime
harsh bail requirements and
stringent prison regulations are
being used illegally but pur
posefully to silence and isolate
Imari.
Why?
RNA leaders say the stake is
whether whites or blacks will
have political and economic
control of a 25-county area in
western Mississippi named by
the RNA the “Kush District.’’
(Kush was the brilliant and
powerful civilization that flou
rished in Africa 1 on*! years
iiefore (’hrist and is n-f-rred to
in the Bible’s Old Testament as
Ethiopia.) Mississippi Kush
dominates the east tiank of the
Mississippi River for over 350
miles, trom just south of
Mempliis in the Noriii :o the
Louisiana border in the South. It
includes the soil-nch Doha and
counts a majority population of
500.000 blacks. (U could support
ten-times that number ) In
excess of 15,(hK) square miles,
Kush is twice the size of Israel.
The RNA is working to hold a
plebiscite • an indcpi.-ridence
vote - in this area to establish it
as the heartland of an
independent black nation In
pursuit of independenie the
R\A has carefully la;.ed .ait the
legal basis for black independ
ence and submitted it to both
the U.S. Congress and the
United Nations. That legal basis
has two essential ingredients'
First, blacks are not legally
citizens of the United States
because the ex-slave -hould
have been asked if he w anted to
be a U.S. citizen (or take some
other course) but neitlu r he nor
his descendants e\e were
asked. Second, black: are
entitled to independciu land and
money and goods as reparations
for slavery and for the unjust
war waged against by the
U.S. during .-ylavciN.
