Recalled State Veterans to Get Loan Consideration California veterans financing their farms or homes under the State's low-interest plan may be able to have their monthly payments tailored to fit their uniform if they are called back into military service in the Korean emergency with resulting curtailment of their income. This assurance was given today by Edward M. Seacord of San Jose, chairman of the California Veterans Board. The Board is the policy-making body for the State Department of Veterans Affairs, which administers the "Cal-Vet" program. The Board did not set up any hard and fast rules governing such hardship cases, Seacord explained, but instructed the Director of Veterans Affairs, D. J. Callaghan, Jr., to extend "every consideration" to returning servicemen who are under contract with the departments. He advised interested veterans or their wives to get in touch promptly with the nearest office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, or with their county service officer or veterans service director. Offices of the Department are located in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Fresno, Santa Barbara, San Jose, Bakersfield and San Bernardino. Davis Vets Start Anaheim Gazette by JOHN S. NEUBAUER SHORT STORY—Victor Maes used to deliver ANAHEIM newspapers before he took over the agency of a metropolitan paper in North ANAHEIM (that's Fullerton t'yuh, suh) Vic grew up around the Norwalk-Bellflower-Artesia perimeter where he peddled papers when he wasn't helping his father with the udder end of the cow. Anyway, his father, age 80, has long since retired and this summer thought he'd see Europe. The old man booked passage to France, bought a high powered French car and started out to see La Belle France. A month ago he suffered a heart attack on a French Alp. When Vic heard about it he and his wife, Lucille, hopped on a plane and went to Papa Maes' rescue, Vic saw Paris, The Riviera, the Alps. He saw Europe in his month-long trip. He didn't like what he saw. "You can have Europe. It isn't anywhere as nice as it is here," he said. "People may think France is romantic. I didn't like it." TODAY'S T'DAY—Today marks the day when the tax collector reaches further into your pocket for his slice of the paycheck. END OF AN ERA—With the retirement of Vard Hannum, Police Seek Slayer of Teen Couple AMSTERDAM, N.Y. (P)—Police today sought the slayer of a pair of teen-aged sweethearts who disbanded under a hail of bullets in a lonely "lovers' lane." A coroner said an autopsy indicated the 17-year-old girl had been raped. Dungarees and underclothes had been ripped from her body. The Montgomery county sheriff's office said it appeared that crime had a "sex motive." The superintendent of a nearby quarry discovered the bodies of Jeanne Lorraine Stone of Amsterdam and William A. Watterman 18, of Gloversville, yesterday. Coroner Frank E. Pipito said that had been dead about 18 hours. Eleven .22 caliber bullets had been pumped into Waterman. The girl died of a single bullet wound in the head. The young television installer body was beside his car, which was parked in the wooded area Phillips park, about three miles east of this Mohawk Valley city. The girl's body was on a grass plot about 30 feet away. Police reported there were signs of a struggle. They theorized that the slayer had surprised the young couple they sat in the car. There were four bullet holes through the window of the door on the driver's side of the coupe. William J. Fish, investigator for the sheriff's office, said the body apparently had been dragged from the car and then more bullets fired into Waterman. Davis Vets Start Graduate Work The desire of California livestockmen to have veterinarians trained in their own state is approaching realization with the admission this fall of an entire class or students to graduate standing in the school of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California at Davis. The 42 men now starting upon the first of the two years' graduate study leading to the degree of DVM are the original group selected in 1948 from more than 500 applicants. All of these men had previously received from two to four years college training in pre-medicine and in animal husbandry. In June 1950, the BS degree in Veterinary Science was conferred upon them at Davis. As in the past two years, graduate students holding DVM's from other institutions also are engaged in specialized work toward additional degrees in several phases of medicine, such as pathology, pharmacology, and surgery.

VA Issues School Tuition Memo Veterans Administration today issued regulations affecting the amount of tuition it will pay to thousands of schools training veterans under the GI Bill and Public Law 16. Under the regulations, a school which has had one or more tuition contracts for a period of more than 12 months will continue to receive payments at the rate of the last contract—without the need for further negotiations with VA. The new regulations apply to schools offering courses of any length—whether they be short, intensive courses of less than 30 weeks or courses lasting longer than that period of time. For schools having "frozen" tuition rates under' recently-enacted Public Law 610, today's regulations affect only the period between the date of their last GI Bill contract and July 13, 1950—effective date of the new law. The VA regulations do not apply to courses in non-profit institutions of higher learning, institutional on-farm training courses or correspondence courses contracted for under either the GI Bill or Public Law 16 (for the disabled). Where books, supplies and equipment costs are an integral part of a school's tuition rate, the regulations authorize VA to include those costs in the rate it will pay for veteran-students.

Eaker Calls for More Volunteers To Aid Southland Freedom Crusade As Southern California's Crusade for Freedom passed the halfway mark, Lt. General C. Eaker, USAF (ret.), commended progress of cooperating organizations and issued a call for additional volunteers during the final three weeks. “This battle against communism is one in which there is no middle road,” General Eaker said. “Southern California citizens now have the greatest opportunity of their lives to declare themselves for principles of Freedom, and to help in the world struggle to preserve it.” General Eaker reminded volunteer workers that a primary effort is being made to give everyone in the Southland an opportunity to become a part of the Crusade for Freedom. “It is a tremendous job to see that scrolls and contribution containers are presented to everyone before close of the drive on October 16, he explained. Although we now have thousands working on the Crusade, we will need the help of everyone.” Among major accomplishments, hundreds of which have been reported, are cases such as that of the Occidental Life Insurance Company. In that firm a total of 1165 individuals signed Freedom Scrolls. This represents nearly 100 per cent of those reporting for work during sign-up days. At Port Hueneme, some 2700 signatures were obtained and contributions totalled more than $1300. The Los Angeles Elks lodge No. 99 reported 100 per cent of its 5300 members have signed the Freedom Scrolls. The Orange County campaign, directed by William Spurgeon, Jr., of Santa Ana, has been highlighted by participation of a number of service clubs in all cities. The campaign there will run full scale until October 16. “We have within ourselves the power to win this critical moral battle,” General Eaker declared as he issued the call to all Southland residents to join the Crusade in its final weeks. “The campaign provides each one of us a direct way to use that power. I know the people of Southern California will not be found lacking when the final score is tallied.” PILGRIMS IN MECCA MECCA (P)—More than 62,500 people have arrived in this Holy City of Islam for the Moslem traditional pilgrimage.
