Plans are being made by the
Veterans Administration Dallas
regional office to automatically inr
crease in most instances subsist-
ence allowances to 35,000 veterans
taking full time courses in schools,
colleges and universities, VA Jias
announced. The higher subsistence
rates, applicable April 1, recently
were authorized by Congress.
After April 1, a veteran taking
not less than 12 hours collegiate
work will receive increase.d sub-
sistence. Veterans in such sub-col-
lege training as commercial; or
vocational school courses also will
benefit if they attend classes a
minimum of 25 clock hours week-
ly'
Single veterans in full time edu-
cational courses will get1 $75.00
monthly subsistence checks. , Vet-
erans with one dependent will be
raised from $90 to $105.00.
Non-disabled veterans previous-
ly had received no additional sub-
sistence for children. The new law,
however, .allows $120 monthly for
a student with one or more chil-
dren, or who is the chief support
of dependent parents.
VA emphasized that it had. a
tremendous job ahead in changing
its records to conform to the new
law and that veterans could} be of
great assistance in processing the
increases. This can be done, said
VA, if veterans who have no de
pendents or only one.refrain from
'writing the Dallas regional office
about their new pay rate. Allow-
ances for these veterans will be
automatically increased from in-
formation already in VA files.
If veterans want subsistence for
more than one dependent, they
must apply for it. Certified copies
of birth certificates for children
are necessary to establish depend-
ence. If parents are claimed as de-
pendents, VA Form 500 should be
completed by the veteran and for-

warded to the regional'office. Con-
tact representatives will be glad
to assist veterans in completing
their information.
Veterans now in training will re-
ceive retroactive payments at the
new rate back to April 1, *1948, if
they submit dependence docu-
ments prior to July 1, 1948.
VA emphasized that only vet-
erans enrolled full- time in' a
school, college or university and
whose incomes fall within the ceil-
ings set by law are entitled to the
increase.

Sports Discussed
By Legion Post
Boxing and fcjciseball were the
chief topics. of discussion at the
last meeting of the 'Dyess Ameri-
can Legion Post. 1 , >
Edgar Judy, Sgt. at Arms; gave
a report on the Post's boxing match
with the Fort Worth Army'Air-
field. Raymond Doggett then mov-
ed that the boxing equipment be
sold at the end of this semester
and the proceeds be used to pur-
chase jackets for members of the
boxing team. The move was- sec-
onded and passed unamimously.
Carleton Hill asked for discus-
sion on a proposed Legion spon-
sored softball team. No definite
plans were made at that time.
The Best Drilled Cadet Com-*
mittee revealed their program for
eliminating* the majority of the
cadets. After a select group has
been chosen, other steps will be,
taken to narrow the field. From
these processes of elimination will
emerge three cadets who will .be
awarded first, second, and third
place medals. Because of ■ other
awards being made to" the best
marksman, no sharpshooter medal
will be awarded at this time, ac-
cording to Ken Garrett, chairman
of the committee.
A move was made and seconded
that the local Post send a delega-
tion to meet with the Stephenville
Turnbow-Higgs Post soon. ,

ufactured train engines for opera-
tion in' Europe.

effect in both wars. Methods of
the evolution of warfare in each
war were also compared.
