From Veterans to a Grateful Nation, Thanks...
With thU froduatin? class, the bulk
of veteran enrollment here kt A AM paaeef
beyond college fate* into the world of
makmir a living This is true throughout
the nation—the last of the large veteran
Haases m graduating.
Four year* ago this nation’s demobili
zation program was at its peak Divisions
«f soldiers were discharged daily, and
ships were being decofnimssioned rg^it
and left The war was over, and the boys
were being brought hofne.
A grateful nation. rtfltcDag its grat
itude through (''Onfreaaional passage of
Public iaiw 316. the lil Bill, prov ided edu
cational benefits to its ft>rmer servu*emen
on an unprecedented iwale B<s»ks, tu-
itibn, and expendibles up to a given
amount were paid outfight so that vet
erans could continue their education that
war interrupted. Given, p*>, were sub
sistence allowances—first. $6f> a month;
later raised to J7.V
Bv the millions veterans of World War
11 aist many fr«sn W<srld W’nr l flocked
to college thrmigh<»ut the nation. These
Inen and women were taking advantage
of the opportunity fiven them through
the GI Bill
I For many of these veterans, college
wgs a dream, aomething they knew about
t>ut couldn't afford. The GI Kill made it
pmaibie for them to pursue a college edu
cation For others, the GI Bill made the
wgy through college a lot easier
The foresight demonstrated by men
who were instrumental in gaining pas
sage of the GI Bill will be praised by gen
erations to ceme. The GJ Bill has raised
the educational level of men within the
veteran ages far above what it would have
been had there been no war, or no GI Bill.
To the grateful nation who has sup-
ported and past for the GI Bill, those of
us who have attended college under its
directions offer a sincere. ‘Thanks ”
We are now prepared for a better p<s-
sit ion in life. We will lie able to repay,
through oi|r taxes, the costs of the edu
cation we have received at governmental
expense. We shall never forget that the
Gil Bill helped us when we misled it.
Now we are ready to re-pay our coun
try.

There are a couple of refreshing notes
is the comment of Ben H. Guill of I'ampa.
Texas, on being the first Republican con
gressman elected from Texas 7n 2<> years
One is his hope that hi* election will
be taken in Washington as at least “one
small protest^ against some current
trends. The other is his hope that it may
be the beginning of a two-party system
in Texas
We hope, though, that he does not
n^ean all that may *eem to l»e implied by
his Cufther declaration. “I’m not going to
vote ReptThtwww ur l^gjocratic—I'm gi-
/ ing to vote Panhandle’*
As an avowal of indppem|inee that; is
fine; but as a perhaps unoofcpihu* ex-
prenaion of localism it ia dangefo*.
T(«> many other representative and
senators already ‘have been votinfh with
easy disregard of the inten>sts of tlwfjm-
te<i States They have md alwavs rembpi-
li**r»il in Congress even the platfolibi
pledges of their i<arty.
There has lieen too much tendency
simply to vote Missouri Valley. Wabash
Valley, Pacific Northwest, cotton states,
silver stAtee, New* Kngland, ('besajH-ake
Kg\, Tepnoasee, Ariz<ma. Grand River.
Pgmlico County, J^fy Creek. Horseshoe
(>ve. or Chippewa Falls ,
* Thu* can gnuHint in the aggregate t<> a
very insidious and injurious “pan-handl
ing" at the expense of vital national un
dertakings. As manifested not nnl> in
the reeent fivers and harbor> bill but in
other sectnetal legislation, the argument
to ‘‘keap monev at home’* can result in
l*>opdoggling while the work) burns
We hope the gentleman from Texas
wil not merely *\<»te Panhandle," hut-
trite though it may sound — will vile
Arnincan. and will an occasion even vote
as (if the Amrki- were his constitm’ncy
(whuh. in a measure, it isl.—The Christ

"hen Winatoo Churchill declared he
dal not intend to preaule over the liquida
tion of the BnUsh empire he may have
men tfeta coming and got out. The Brit-
tah (toUceman we learn, is on the verge of
giving up his heilrnetl
It is a* thinkable that American bobbv
Roxem should give up their Sinatras as
that the BfiUah jieople ahould give up their
bobby hata Yet it i* re|>orted (can it be
“feliably*”) that police officers are steal
ing home and uiataira to study themselves
unobaerved (a« feunthome did) m aston
ished mirrors The image that replies to
them from the glass is that of a British
policeman in a natty, shall we even hay
“chic," (teak cap
Mr Attlee ahould want to do some
thing about this Or'at any rate J)ir St^f-
fnrd Cnp|», who has the dollar tAtortagc
so much on hia mind In an era when
American tourists gre expected to spend
their millions in Britain can British au-
thdrities permit the (Miliceman s helmet -
an SA-yeur-akl institution—to vanish'’ As
well remove the lions from Trafalgar
Square, or more appositely the dome from
St, Paul’s, as to banish the bonnet which
“apt the world ablaze m good K^ueen Vic
toria's) glorious days" and on which thr
sun of official fashion has never since set
Perh*|w we have here the issuo on
which Messrs Attlee and Churchill can
establish a qoalition government
